I’m watching an old British series about the professional beauty/actress, Lillie Langtry, born in Jersey to parents who believed in higher education for their daughter. Dressed in a plain black mourning dress, her beauty and wit made the aristocracy take notice, particularly the Prince of Wales. Painters made portraits of her, photographers clamored and she even made one of the first advertisements using her image for Pears Soap.

She became an actress not because she had a strong calling to do so, but because she needed money to maintain her lifestyle. She was mobbed wherever she went.

Much like Kim Kardashian. Except that Lillie held her own in conversation with Gladstone, the prime minister, knew about art, music, literature, and politics. She was beautiful, yes. An opportunist, possibly. Well read, absolutely.

Kim is sweet and successful. A professional beauty of a different kind. You spot the differences.

Lillie went on to become an American citizen so that she could obtain a divorce, owned race horses, performed in vaudeville, and died in Monaco after living a rich life. Lillie left her mark.

Kim has left her mark as well, along with her family. But it’s a different kind of mark.

Go to www.geopalette.com for hair color that is one of a kind. Like Lillie. Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment, or consult one of our Geo Palette salons in Texas, California, Florida, or New York. Leave your mark. -JC

Hooked on Breaking Bad? You know the feeling of awe and wonder at the writing, acting, and cinematography. We love the two minute snippet that pulls us into each episode, starting with an image that pulses through the show, whether it’s a stuffed animal’s eye, a trickle of blood in blue water, or a pair of broken spectacles. We love Jessie. Walter White? Not so much.

Speaking of Breaking Bad…the Geo Palette Hair System is fabulous at breaking bad habits like stripey highlights, a dull finish, the same old ashy blond, or a carroty red look. Break into great color with the most revolutionary new color system to hit the hair industry. The Geo Palette, by George Mennella, a bad-ass master colorist and inventor, will excite and intrigue! Google it. Get it. Blondes, brunettes, and redheads! Your image will thank you. -JC

I loved the Hunger Games. But when it comes to the Hair Games, and the fight to the finish, the Geo Palette Hair System is victorious.  Forget your traditional stripey highlights, fat or thin. Try the Geo Palette for the color of your life: multi-dimensional, three or more tonalities, no foils that dull the hair, and re-usable sections that are kind to the earth. A fight to the finished hair!

I recently watched a program about giving up addictions…not hard core heroin or sex twenty times a day, but things like candy, soda, shopping, and Facebook.

The psychologist suggested forcing yourself to eat a candy bar at four o’clock, every afternoon. It seems that making yourself eat it will take the pleasure away.

So I tried it, but I liked it. Like a cup of tea in the afternoon, my candy bar became a habit. I switched from a Milky Way to a Three Musketeers for fewer calories, and cursed out the psychologist for my new four o’clock habit that I have to break.

For an easier fix, become addicted to your hair color and try the Geo Palette…color better than drugs or candy bars or even great sex. Because it lasts for months. Go to www.geopalette.com for information, or visit a Geo Palette certified salon to satisfy your craving for fabulous color. No aluminum foils that dull your hair, and compliments galore! Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment at Bewitched, or visit any Geo Palette certified salon that welcomes your addiction. -JC

The New York Times just published an article about Manolo Blahnik versus Christian Louboutin: classical shoes by the London designer that Carrie Bradshaw died for, or the flashier red soled heels that dangled a price tag by their very appearance.

Vanity Fair, it seems, once called every woman’s favorite phallic symbol SHOES. They have a point (no pun intended.) Put on a pair of six to eight inch heels, and you’re sure to walk like a glamor girl and feel like a star.

In a 2007 survey by Women’s Wear Daily, it seems that 37% of 2000 consumers said they would bungee-jump off the Golden Gate Bridge for a life time supply of Manolos.

I agree with Mr. Blahnik that “shoes help transform a woman.” But when we meet a person for the very first time,  do we start at the bottom or go straight to the top, meaning, do we notice the face and hair, or the feet?

Don’t get me wrong. I love my high heeled shoes, but I love my Geo Palette hair color more. Come to Bewitched Salon for transformational color that is unsurpassed, or go the website www.geopalette.com for results. Would I bungee-jump off the Golden Gate Bridge for a lifetime of Geo Palette color? Yes… and I’m terrified of heights.

Jump to Bewitched Salon at 956 Broadway, in Woodmere, NY, or call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. High heels optional. -JC

Mine did. Apparently my grandmother touched the back of her head last night, and Grandma died fifteen years ago.  I told her, “Go for it. Burn those herbs and purify that space.” But Grandma was a force to be reckoned with…funny, feisty, and adorable. So smudge away, roomie, but if we’re lucky, she will haunt us forever.

Cast out any bad hair experiences with the Geo Palette Color System: color that surpasses any conventional coloring. Forget the chunks, the stripes, the highlighted patterns. Natural, subtle and simply fabulous, “smudge” your hair with the Geo Palette, and evil color spirits be gone.

Ashley, our latest bachelorette, needs to explore her low self esteem.  We witness Bentley telling us, “I’m going to make Ashley cry tonight,” and he does. He wishes she was Emily, the winning blond from last season, confirming Ashley’s own fears.

“She’s not my type,” he tells the camera. Flash forward to Ashley after Bentley goes home, leaving behind his famous dot dot dot…”you never know” torturing her well into the next episode. A wreck under a blanket.

“He’s just not that into you?” doesn’t register. She hasn’t read the book, or seen the movie, or examined the evidence, for that matter. She “feels a connection,” and has Bentley the villain, invited back so that she can torture herself (and us) some more.

Ashley had a makeover, and she looks great. But the makeover has to start from within, doesn’t it? Perhaps the Geo Palette Color System would have given her that boost, that edge, that zap of self confidence so that she could truly kick Bentley from Seattle to the curb (with enthusiasm.) Or maybe, a good shrink should follow her fabulous hair color.

Get the Geo Palette. You won’t be a pushover, a door mat, or a whining baby. You’ll be gorgeous, and everyone will know it. Make an appointment at Bewitched: 516 374-1490

A good friend of mine was watching a neighbor’s dog for a week, and lost him. He ran out the door and was gone. Hundreds of fliers later, along with days of worrying, and my harried friend lost eight pounds!

After several phone calls about dogs that were too big or too small, a good Samaritan found him. Pale and svelte with her new figure, my friend could finally sleep again.

Here at Bewitched Salon, at 956 Broadway, in Woodmere, NY, we suggest an easier way to drop some weight…

Lose pounds of hair misery and look ten years younger by transforming your hair with the Geo Palette Hair System. Glorious color, for a walk in the park, no dogs involved.

Here at Bewitched, some of us love Charlie Sheen and some of us think a date with Dr. Drew is in order. I myself would love to watch him fight his demons on Celebrity Rehab…and survive.

A recovering addict predicted that Charlie’s spiraling lunacy  is cocaine withdrawal…fighting everyone, despising most, grandiose gestures and spitfire dialogue, tweeting out of control.

Public fascination with Charlie Sheen is at a high. We can’t seem to get enough of him.

For a SHEEN of another kind (okay, forgive me), or a HAIR INTERVENTION, get the Geo Palette…revolutionary hair color, brilliant OR subtle, for every client’s color needs. Addiction of another kind…to beauty.

Call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490.
