I was washing a handful of blueberries for breakfast (in an attempt to beat back memory loss), and I was struck by the beauty of it: the cool water, the deep blue of my hasty manicure blending with the hue of the blueberry. My morning thrill.

Let’s face it. Living in the moment is the best way to keep the vagaries of life at bay…and just for a few moments, I drank in the sight of my simple masterpiece.

Back in the fifties, we guarded our virginity. It was our honor. Back in the sixties, we gave it away. It was a hindrance.

Then came Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton, and we got all confused. What was virginity, after all?

Today, it’s tossed in the air like a tennis ball, back and forth, with sexting, cyberbullying, and posting pics without your knowledge. It’s still a shrine, for a small few, but has lost its luster in a world of sexual internet images.

Now a hair color virgin is something else.

Lose your virginity at Bewi’s in Woodmere! Go from mousy brown to lustrous mahogany, dull wheat to sweet honey, flat red to rich aubergine. Nothing could be easier, and your ethics won’t be compromised.

No regrets, virgins. Get revolutionary color with the Geo Palette System. www.geopalette.com or call 516 374-1490, at Bewi’s in Woodmere, NY, for the adventure of a lifetime. Your parents won’t mind, and if it’s posted online, your reputation won’t be ruined. -JC

An article in the NY Times talked about women of a certain age getting bolder hair color…no boring Upper East Side hair for them. One stylist dubbed the trend an “I’m having fun” kind of energy, with clients dipping pieces of hair in parrot-like colors. Hurrah for them!
And hurrah for us! MariaLisa Mennella at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY  has been painting pieces of color on some of her sixty, seventy, and eighty year old clients, not to mention younger ones, for several years. It’s young, fun, and liberating. 

Her uncle, George Mennella, has invented a new color system, the Geo Palette, that colors hair in not one or two colors, but three, four or five. With its’ beautiful dimensionality and tonality, more and more older women are seeking out a system for coloring hair that elicits compliments with exclamation points!

Try it by calling 516 374-1490. Ask for the Geo Palette or a few pieces of heavenly color…George and MariaLisa Mennella will give you that bold, edgy style to make you feel and look years younger. -JC

I don’t know about you, but I’m thankful for the J-Lo’s and Kim K’s of the world, with their world famous derrieres that are “larger than life”.  Hurrah for the big booty that’s “booty-ful!”

But photoshopping out problem areas has become the norm, where lines, dips and hollows are miraculously erased, and fifty year old stars look like twenty year old ingenues. Human beings, (read “real women”), cannot compete.

Except for the hair. With the Geo Palette Color System, your hair will become younger, more vital, more dimensional, more fabulous than ever before. Sample the range of colors we offer…gorgeous blonds in several shades from honey to platinum, rich brunettes ranging from plum to chocolate, redheads that dazzle with luxurious copper iced with deep burgundy. Endure the compliments, with no photoshopping necessary, ever ever ever.

Focus on hair color (and ignore neck and chin)

On a day of errands and boring chores, I got a compliment from my dental hygienist on my hair color, and I said thank you.
But I thought she was crazy. I hadn’t washed it in six days, (okay, I bathe daily, so don’t be judging me.)
Then a jaunt to Bloomingdale’s, and I’m stopped in the aisle. My first thought was, this undercover Bloomie’s woman thinks I’ve stolen something.
No, where did you get your color done?
Then, in the dressing room where I’m lamenting my tummy, the Bloomie’s assistant hands me a bigger size and says, “I love your hair color!”
Out at the supermarket, and it’s the check-out girl who gives me an ode to my beautiful hair.
This oily mess?
Which goes to show that Geo Palette color shines through, time after time.
But I’m washing it today.
Give the Geo Palette Color System a whirl today…compliments will follow. Go to www.geopalette.com for info. Or call Bewitched in Woodmere, NY for an appointment with praise from strangers in the street. -JC  516 374-1490 or find a certified Geo Palette salon near you.

I saw Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom yesterday, and remembered summer days as a child, catching fireflies in the creek, clambering up boulders that formed snug little homes for us, deep in the wilderness of sleepy Hunter in the Catskills.
Moonrise Kingdom is filmed mostly in Rhode Island, and features the sweetness of twelve year old orphaned Sam,  with a more mature looking Suzy, who discovers a book her parents bought about bringing up a difficult child.  Suzy is prone to violence, and Sam seems certifiable until their separate emotional ills are neutralized by their love for each other. The grown-ups are far crazier than the children, with their liasons, bullhorns and isolation.
You’ll love it on mythical Penzance Island, or you’ll hate it with a passion.
I loved it.
For color that reminds you of a summer long gone, bright with sunlight and a flash of fireflies, get the Geo Palette. Revolutionary, subtle, brilliant, and simply gorgeous. It will transport you. Check out our website at www.geopalette.com, or visit Bewitched in Woodmere for color by MariaLisa Mennella or the inventor, George Mennella. Find a certified Geo Palette salon near you for your finest hair adventure. Then go see Moonrise Kingdom. 516 374-1490 -JC

A public library in Wisconsin refused to order the erotic novel, Fifty Shades of Grey because of their “NO EROTIC” policy. But a spokes man for Vintage publishers says that libraries have “an extraordinary number of holds” on the book, and at some libraries, over a thousand.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to read an erotic novel handled by hundreds of people before me. Maybe electronic is the best way to go. More hygienic, if you know what I mean.
For a longer lasting fix, get rid of your fifty shades of gray with the best hair color on the planet. The Geo Palette. Environmentally friendly. Sexy. Gorgeous. Can be extremely erotic, because you’ll look so good, you’ll love yourself.
And so will everyone else.

The Hobbit Pub is in trouble. It seems that the pub in Southampton, England excites JRR Tolkien fans but is being sued by producers of the upcoming prequel, The Hobbit, for copyrite infringement.
The Gandalf drink is in trouble, too. We hear it packs a huge Lord of the Ring punch.
Gandalf, however, is a wizard, we know, and recommends to all the Geo Palette Color System, a revolutionary new system for coloring hair that is kind to the environment and trumps the traditional highlight with its’ fabulous results.
Get the Geo Palette. Lord of All Hair Color, and Gandalf the Grey would approve.
