AARP is looking for "real people" (real attractive people, of course,) ages 50 and over, to become the "Selected Faces" that appear in a 2009 issue of their magazine. Feeling especially appealing today? Here's how to enter...
Long live Catherine the Grape!
Saturday, Aug. 30, 2008
This isn't my favorite OPI color for fall because it's my namesake. I just think it's a perfect blend of 'vamp' and 'tasteful sophistication' for toes still exposed in the autumn air.
Where the sales are: Bath & Body, Bluefly and Crate & Barrel

In an effort to simplify and enhance your shopping experience - and save you money, to boot - I've complied a short list of where to find discounts on some of the things you might be looking for this holiday weekend.
Forget the speeches, it's all about fashion in Denver
Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2008
I love a good, rousing speech as much as the next girl, but what really gets me excited is convention delegate couture.
An endorsement deal for Debbie Phelps?
Friday, Aug. 22, 2008
Will the super-swimmer's mom soon be shilling for Chico's? 'Looks like a deal is in the works. If it happens, I say more power to her.
Nina's top ten looks for fall

Nina Garcia - she of "Project Runway" fame and the new fashion director at Marie Claire mag - has a new book: The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own. Thankfully, she's paring down that list to ten 'must-haves' for fall. And they all seem doable at any age.
They put WHAT in my exfoliating scrub?!
Monday, July 28, 2008
Here's a story that ALMOST made me come to work au naturel - that is, sans makeup, hair products and body balm. Of course, I came to my senses just in time.
Fish phobia flashback
Sunday, July 27, 2008
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get the visual of feet-eating fish out of my head. That’s right, I said “feet-eating fish.” Tiny carp that nibble the dead skin off your tootsies, like the ones being used in an Alexandria, Virginia, nail salon as a piscine prelude to the “deluxe” pedicure.
Fish pedicures: The next big thing?
Monday, July 21, 2008
I don't know whether to laugh or throw up over the new craze in Washington, D.C., in which live fish are used to nibble dead skin off of customers' feet, instead of those "unsanitary" razors. Excuse me?
Is it age-appropriate to wear madras bloomers to a wedding?
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
On Saturday, I ordered a darling cashmere-blend cardigan in shocking pink from the Gap to wear to my little sister's wedding this weekend. This is what I just got in the mail ....
Do you lie about your age?
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Something must be wrong with me, because I never lie about my age. I don't even fudge. (Ex: I'm 52. There you have it. 52 big ones.) So, I don't know what to make of a Canadian Web site for women that's promoting a "Best LIe About Your Age" contest with a $1000 spa package as the prize.
In pursuit of the perfect purse
Sunday, July 13, 2008
I am carrying the handbag from hell. (Note to male readers: Yes, this is a story about pocketbooks. But, there’s a payoff, if you’ll just hang in. Here’s a hint: It involves my husband’s “man purse” from 1975.)
FaceMaster experiment: Week one
Friday, July 11, 2008
I started testing the FaceMaster facial toning system on my own 52-year-old mug last Saturday. I have used the machine every day for seven days and, so far, I think I'm noticing some subtle changes...or am I just seeing things? Being a lab rat is harder than I thought.
Could prairie skirts be making a comeback?
Wednesday, July 2, 2008
I've always loved CNN correspondent Jeanne Moos, but her story today has me giggling more than usual. Check out Project Runway's Tim Gunn critiquing the "polygamist look" with Mo Rocca. Marc Jacobs, are you listening?
And for my next trick...
Sunday, June 29, 2008
I am writhing around like Harry Houdini in a straight jacket, and I still can’t get out of this stupid tunic top. Panic is setting in. My heart starts to fibrillate. What am I going to do? The department store dressing rooms are full, people are waiting, and I’m trapped inside a little “boho chic” number that’s obviously a size-and-a-half too small.
