“I love love!” said the pretty young woman, snuggling with the new bachelor, who tested the contestants’ mettle by asking them to immerse themselves in glacial waters and not, by the way, freeze to death. Way to pick a relationship? Maybe, maybe not.

“Bless your heart,” says Sean, when one of the girls succumbs to near hypothermia. Southern good manners count when it comes to finessing the ladies. But I like him, I really do.

It’s just that I like great hair color better. The Geo Palette System for coloring hair lasts longer than a dunk in the freezing Montana waters. Quick exhilaration? No. Lasting dimension and shine, better than a highlight, longer lasting, garnering far superior compliments than “bless your heart” from a sweet Southerner.

More like heart stopping, and way more exciting than diving into sub-zero lake, milking a goat, or rock climbing when you’re super afraid of heights.

Most of us have a routine of sorts. For me, I get up, make coffee, eat my cereal with anything that Dr. Oz says will make me have a better memory, play Ruzzle (also for my brain), and exercise on the stairmaster with Broadway music. Yes, I am dated.

But it’s all getting old. So this morning, I make my coffee, play Ruzzle, and step with Indie dance hits. Small changes make for bigger changes. Shake it up, girls.

Which brings me to your hair color. Boring highlights? Feh.  Stripey bits and pieces? Meh. Get the Geo Palette…the latest, the greatest, the newest in hair color, with shine and dimension that will blow you away. Change is good. Shake it up! Show your hairdresser, and he or she can learn how.

Tomorrow? A Geo Palette for me, and some Heads will Roll (A-Trak Remix). I’ll let you know. -JC

We saw a lovely film last night, The Sessions. Authenticity reigned, from the sexual surrogate, played by Helen Hunt, to the cigarette smoking, beer-drinking Father Brendan, who gives Mark O’Brien, a  poet paralyzed from the neck down, his wry blessing to lose his virginity. John Hawkes plays the man stricken by polio, and his technique simply transcends acting. He IS the poet, comical, wise, mired in loneliness, embracing life.

Helen Hunt is nude much of the time, and yes, we are transfixed by her younger body next to her older smoothed-by-Botox face, but she is believable as she works with O’Brien to achieve his goal, sexual intercourse.

Don’t you love my awkward segues? In time for Xmas, we urge you to gift yourself an intimate session with a Geo Palette specialist for hair color that surpasses the conventional highlight in depth and dimension.

Tony Mendez, CIA agent

Don’t we love watching a movie based on a real life crisis that we know ends happily?

Go see Argo. Set during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, if you are a person of a certain age, you will recognize the huge ugly eyeglasses, the earnest Iranian female student lecturing the world, and the chaos at the embassy, blasted across our television screens for over a year. Embassy politics then, and now.

But a happy ending is a happy ending, and the six that were rescued in plain sight from the Canadian embassy by CIA agent Tony Mendez went back into foreign service after their release. And how about Tony’s crazy scheme, an act of courage that ultimately brought him the highest CIA badge of honor?

Argo casting was brilliant, choosing actors that resembled the diplomats, except of course for Mr. Affleck versus Mr. Mendez, who goes home to his family in Virginia in another happy outcome.

For a happy hair outcome (with your hair color), visit Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, our flagship salon for the innovative new color system, the Geo Palette, or check out our website at www.geopalette.com.

I am a big fan of the Real Housewives franchise, from Beverly Hills to Orange County to New York City. But as I watched the New Jersey ladies wind down their season with Andy Cohen, the misery and anger in the air was palpable. I could have pounded it like the veal on their RV trip together.

Teresa’s oiled body was tense, her smile false, her apologies as fake as her boobs and eyelashes. Possible cheater Joe stood behind her like a coiled boa constrictor, ready to strike.

Caroline was still not talking to her sister Dina, and made remarks about family being everything. Misery and accusations prevailed.

Kindness was absent, and the film clips of the children made us sad as they acted out or reacted to the woes of their parents.

The befores and afters revealed the toll the program has taken on its’ participants. The ladies looked fresher and more innocent in the past. Anger makes us ugly, doesn’t it?

For fabulous befores and afters, come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY, and get the best hair color on the planet. Revolutionary color that surpasses the highlight, invented by Italian born George Mennella, and sure to turn misery into bliss. Your husband will only have eyes for you, your sister will talk to you again, and all will be right with the world…until the next new reality housewives episode hits the airwaves! Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment with GORGEOUS, and ask George, Fernando, MariaLisa or Nikki to give you the Geo Palette. www.geopalette.com -JC

Demi Lovato is quoted as saying, “I weeded out friends who didn’t have my best interests at heart.” Several years ago, and fifty years older, Phyllis Diller did the same thing, well before she passed away. Weeding out the negative, and surrounding herself with the positive, living in the moment so that the everyday minutiae was precious…it’s great advice for everyone.
So when I took my daily walk this morning, I admired the palette of autumn leaves that anointed the sky with color.
I greeted the blue jay with, “hello, mom!”, convinced that its’ small soul was really my mother, who passed away years ago.
I thanked my hairdresser, because a passerby had complimented my hair color.
Which brings me to weeding out what isn’t good for us…too much liquor, re-runs of reality t.v., the person who criticizes our very being, or the stylist who gives us orange highlights that compete with the pumpkins at Halloween, when we asked for light blond.

Weed out the stylist with the ego not to correct a mistake. Weed out bad hair color!
Note to those who have hair color that’s BLAH…Make an appointment for the best hair color on the planet, the Geo Palette Color System!  Call Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY at 516 374-1490, or come in for a consultation with MariaLisa, Nikki, or George Mennella, the Geo Palette creator. Take a deep breath, and weed out the old. Get the Geo Palette, color that surpasses the traditional highlight in depth, shine, and dimension.  Revel in the positive! -JC

BEFORE!

AFTER!

I’ve witnessed it more than once…a distraught woman running into the salon with the words, “I need someone to fix my hair!” One desperate lady banged on the locked doors, pointing to her bright orange hair with tears in her eyes. We let her in and stayed until midnight, turning the alarmingly orange tresses to hues of gorgeous blond, and finishing her damaged ends with a fabulous cut. She thanked George Mennella at least a hundred times.

It happened again yesterday, a disaster in hair color and a desperate young lady who didn’t want to go out in public. George examined the damage like a doctor evaluating a difficult case. Then the words, “I can make you beautiful again,” and the look of hope in the client’s eyes.
George started the process, dry cutting it so that it had shape and form…combing and painting, decolorizing the hair strand by strand, until the roots were no longer orange, and the client relaxed in the chair, knowing she could go out in public again. A gorgeous cut and finish was the icing on the cake. It took painstaking hours, but his patience was endless and the client’s gratitude?…Well, let’s say it was boundless.

Everyone loves a happy ending. Come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY, for a color fix, a color change, or our revolutionary new color system, the Geo Palette,  a color process created by George Mennella that surpasses the traditional highlight with its’ dimension and shine, only at Geo Palette certified salons.

Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord, and the new girl with the hair removal business will not be coming back to Housewives of NYC. Fired. Removed. Kaput. And we know why!

Big-mouthed Jill was a bully and a mean girl. A less abrasive Kelly was still a nutjob. Alex found her voice, but who knew it would be so annoying? And hair removal girl had a bad attitude and was a “whiner” to boot.

If you ask me, we’ve had enough of Ramona’s Pinot Grigio and jugular cutting opinions. The Countess in love is watchable, but Sonya, please get over yourself. You used to be fun, and now we know you just like showing your underwear. Bravo, please. Fire the lot of them and start fresh.

Speaking of firing, those of you with hair color that scream FOIL HIGHLIGHT, change your hairdresser and come to Bewitched for the Geo Palette or any other color service.  George, Nichole, Jennifer, Antoinette, Jasmine and Alice will give you superior color that you will love.

French Vogue editor and Tom Ford muse, Carine Roitfeld,  coined the phrase “glamour bondage”, and had feminists complaining about  images in a recent magazine.

But when we’re strapping on a pair of skyscraper heels, or wearing spanx that make us cry out for oxygen, or sporting a bag that has Citibank owning us, are we really slaves to fashion? Or are we simply slaves to feeling sexy or liberated or hip or gorgeous?

Getting Geo Palette hair color makes us slaves of a different kind.  We become addicted to being followed into the supermarket with the question: “Where did you get your color done?” We like hearing friends tell us, “You’ve never looked better,” or even, “Did you have work done on your face?” They can’t put their finger on it, but it’s our fabulous hair color that lasts for months, with a few root colors in between. Bondage is overtaken by a deep satisfaction that a few hours at Bewitched getting Geo Palette color takes years off our age, reduces wrinkles, and gives us the truest form of liberation: feeling beautiful.

Get it, and discover the magic.
