Sex appeal: is there a shelf life?

My mother once told me that after she turned sixty, she became invisible to men. It felt like a jolt to my erotic system. A distant horror that haunted me.

After all, how many of us use our sexuality for that daily boost that yields an extra slice of pizza or instant entry into a club or even a discount? Be honest, even if it’s an internal switch that goes on automatically…

I was younger then. But as that number sixty looms in the horizon, it makes me wonder. Does “sexy” have an expiration date?

I’ve decided it doesn’t. A warm smile that dazzles is sexy. Looking someone in the eye is sexy. Happiness is sexy. (High heels are sexy, at any age…) Being genuine is sexy. Openness is sexy. A positive attitude is sexy. Great hair is sexy!

My call? Sexiness is ageless. At 93, my grandmother, rest her soul, had two boyfriends in the nursing home…one on the third floor and one on the second, who was blind, and never found out about the first. I visited her every week, armed with her requests: cheese doodles and chapstick. “All that kissing makes my lips dry,” she told me.

So go for it, girls of every age. And while you’re at it, come and get the revolutionary Geo Palette color for gorgeous sexy hair. here at Bewitched Salon, 956 Broadway, Fresh Meadows, NY. 718 591-7904

Embrace your sexiness. You’ll leave us looking twenty years younger! JC

Barbie Dolls come alive! Nope, it’s Rock Star Wives

Okay ladies. Some of you can sing, some of you can dance, some of you know how to diet…(how else do you keep that thin?)

But with all your accomplishments, do you really need to look like a cartoon character…Jessica Rabbit to be exact…to please your rock star husbands? And why do you pitch your voices higher than their normal register into a little girl goo goo ga dialect that makes me squirm?

I admire you, I really do. The road is tough, however well-heeled it may be. But what measures will you have to take to stay youthful, thin, curvaceous, wrinkle-free, so that your husbands won’t trade you in for a younger model? Freeze yourselves?

I hope I’m wrong, and that they want to grow old with you. That they’ll caress the wrinkles that grace your face, and not cry out for more botox and face lifts at the young age of 30. That they’ll rebuff the advances of nubile groupies who trade favors for fame. That they’ll reward your endurance with kindness and monogamy.

But the entertainment industry ranks high in divorce, and society wants your boys to stay young and bold and virile, with a girl on each arm.

So stay strong. Lower your register. And reward yourself with the Geo Palette, revolutionary color that your husbands will love. More important, you will.

Thankful? Prove it.

Okay, I’m thankful that I’m alive, that I’m still reasonably attractive, that I’m not depressed, and that I have love in my life.

So why am I always complaining?
Sure, money is tight, my kitchen has a hole in the ceiling, I’m going gray more quickly than ever, and I’m not as flexible.

But I love wearing my high heeled shoes, strutting my stuff, seeing a great movie, watching the leaves change, buying my favorite cookie from the pastry shiop and savoring it over a good cup of coffee.

So shut the hell up, me.

By the way…speaking of gray, for gorgeous color, come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY and get the revolutionary Geo Palette. Call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490 for the most cutting edge color in the world. Go to www.geopalette.com and view our results.

Come and see us. I promise you’ll be forever thankful, and you won’t hear a single complaint from me. By the way. Happy Thanksgiving to all. And I’ve cheated…the attached photo is not me, it’s my daughter. If she’s the apple and I’m the tree, I give thanks.

When did you last cry at the movies?

I saw the new Harry Potter the other day, and, SPOILER  ALERT, a particular character dies towards the end of the movie. I was unmoved, just a tad sad.

I also thought that as much as I enjoyed the movie, parts of it were reminiscent of Lord of the Rings…like the locket around the neck affecting the characters negatively.

But a little girl was absolutely SOBBING her eyes out, and her mother was trying to comfort, and shush her, as the sobs became wailing.

My crying was unstoppable when I was a little girl. The movie? The Swan. The handsome poor teacher leaves his pupil, despite their love. I cried for days. I wonder if my separation anxiety has to do with the damned movie?

For happiness, bliss, joy, and new found confidence, get your hair colored with the Geo Palette at its’ flagship salon, Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY.  Go to our website, www.geopalette.com for results. Or call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. No tears, no sobbing, compliments galore.

Low self esteem: why I think I have it…

So I get dressed in the morning in the outfit that I’ve planned in my head the night before. Funky tights ala Betsy Johnson. A black pencil skirt cinched at the waist with a wide belt. My faux diamond necklace. My new way too expensive concealer which hides the bags under my eyes. A bold red lip, very little makeup on my eyes. (I remember to emphasize either the eyes or the lips, rarely both.)

I check out my reflection in the long mirror in the hallway.

I look good. I feel attractive. Heads will turn.

And not a single person compliments me all day. How can this be? And why does it mean that I will never wear that particular ensemble again?

I hate to say it, I really do. But I think it means I have low self-esteem.

Or that I need another person’s stamp of approval before I’m sure of my own sense of fashion.

Of course, it may mean that I look SO good that I intimidate people. I’ll never know, because I’m already stuffing the outfit in the back of the closet to gather dust.

For high self-esteem that will never be questioned, come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, New York for our revolutionary color, the Geo Palette. You will leave us feeling like James Cagney in one of his old movies…On top of the world! (I think he’s talking to his mother, and is about to burn to death, so this vision might not be particularly relevant.)

But you’ll be on fire! How’s that?

See our results at www.geopalette.com or call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490.

You’ll never question how good you look again.

Look older than your age? Change your hair color.

Ask any great professional about hair color as we get older, and we’re told…”Go lighter and brighter!”

Hair that’s too dark accentuates the lines and wrinkles. Too light, and we look washed out.

Here at Bewitched Salon, we say, “Go lighter and brighter AND GET THE GEO PALETTE!” There is something about the subtlety and richness of the system’s color that takes at least a decade off our age!

And there is nothing more life-affirming than feeling (and looking) beautiful!

Look for our results at www.geopalette.com. Call us at 516 374-1490 to make an appointment.

Find the fountain of youth with the Geo Palette.

Advice? Free. Fabulous color? Priceless!

Guess what? Men favor the face over the body…

When it comes to a long term relationship, studies say, men care more about the face than the body.

A new study claims that participants had the option of looking at either the head or body, and were asked to relate their importance. Apparently, it depended on intent. If the male was told to consider the person as a long term partner, he chose the face.

If it was a fling, he chose the body.

Which leads us to believe, at Bewitched Salon, that if you want a long term relationship, you had better come and get our revolutionary color, the Geo Palette, (see www.geopalette.com for results, or our Three-tiered Transformation, a day of beauty that turns difficult hair into beautiful tresses with our O*Mai curl softening, Geo Palette, and keratin treatment.

Want a long term relationship? Well, your face is important…and your hair is the crown!

Call us at 516 374-1490 for an appointment. We can’t find you a date…be we WILL make you look great!
