Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) How to reinvent your look: 3 of 73
"Reinvention". There is something about that phrase that strikes fear into the souls of us mere mortals! It sounds so complex, so exhausting and something best suited to the likes of Madonna (who coined the phrase "reinventing oneself) or Cher (who only modestly ever "reinvented herself). I prefer to use the term "rejuvenatin... More..

THE PREFACEIt's a nice, lazy Saturday afternoon. You have had a work week that would curl the hair on a bald man and it's finally time to kick up your feet, open a book and relax (well that would apply to many of you who may be reading this - I have a young son who thinks he is the next WWE wrestling champ.!). The phone rings... More..

They are humans and go through life basically like the rest of us, right?This show was I think the first show (airing in 2006) where we are actually invited into the lives of a family of 6, of whom, the parents, Matt and Amy Rol...

Colors collide in carnival of dreamsHazy faces vanish into the mistGod like icons tower with strengthAnd the dream becomes realDo I sit and stare into spaceOr do I become absorbed in this mystical placeLike the prodigal son returningOr the person I am leaving?Clouded figures hold out their armsAs gem-like creations sparkle an...

And so the Birdman flewIs this what his dreams were all about?Is this how his absurd high really felt?And as he flew into colors of red and blueHis inner ego grew and grew.And so the Birdman flewYet no one looked skyward to appreciateHe'd merely licked the surface he desired.Kissing the sky, his wings outstretched like a cry ...
