A nice plug from a music friend. Julie Stoller who is a "music critic at large" and a woman of impeccable taste!

Thanks!

Band Manager?

I have a musician friend who has decided I'm to be his "band manager". No matter that we live in different states. But I have developed a website, redesigned his MySpace page and have now listed one of his song (my favorite) onto CDBaby so it is available for download.

The website is www.waltwhitney.com and both the MySpace and the website have a lot of music available for streaming.

The single is available below.

So this is blog by a woman from Helsinki (?) and she just has the quirkiest tastes. I live her picks for clothes - very unusual.

But the oddest thing is that she evidently collects stuffed rabbits. Go about 1/2 down the page for a picture of the sleeping rabbit her friends bought her for her birthday!

You did WHAT to your eyebrows?

So, as part of the usual yearly maintenance thang - dentist, doctor, candlestick maker - I decided to get my eyebrows threaded. Say what? It's this foreign import that now, just like nail salons, has shops cropping up all over Manhattan. I went to Perfect Brows near Lincoln Center.

I have been using Rapid Lash on my eyelashes and eyebrows. I have always had a divot in my right eyebrow from over plucking in high school (yes, 40 years later it had never grown back). Using Rapid Lash for about a month I have seen a small improvement; I actually do have a bit of hair regrowing.

So here I am with my unruly brows



The one on the right comes to a peak at the top and they are kind of blah shape. You can't see in the picture but I have a bit of white hair coming in too.

I had my brows threaded and tinted. Honestly, the threading barely hurt. Much less painful than waxing and a whole heck of a lot faster than tweezing. Of course, as always, having anything done to my left brow makes me sneeze like crazy. It's a bit weird having the whole thing done - you are in a chair tilted so far back you are practically upside down. You feel the lady doing her thing, but can't see anything until its all over. Happily I was very satisfied with her work.

Here's right after it was finished



You can see I am a bit red and the brows are REALLY dark. They put on the dye and you have to leave it on for a couple of hours. Yikes! I felt a bit like Joan Crawford as I walked down 9Th Avenue to the Port Authority.

The next day I still think my brows are a bit dark but with some makeup on my son gave them the thumbs up.



I am very happy with the shaping and will go back in a couple of months to get them "cleaned up".

A thumbs up from me too.
