Get a Discount With My Colorist

I don't usually like to admit this, but for my fab colorist Joseph Mullen, I'll do anything. So here goes: I'm not a natural redhead. I was blond for much of my life, until I met Joseph while running a photo shoot at the salon where he used to work. Joseph came up to me at the end of the day and asked if I had ever considered going red. The rest is history!



Joseph has since changed salons and is offering an AMAZING 25% off discount to new clients. Simply fan him on Facebook or tell him JSG sent you. He's now at NYC's Blackstones Salon, next door to McSorely's. Send photos of your befores and afters!!

Review - Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector

Every JSG needs a solid concealer in her beauty arsenal for those red eye flights or to camouflage a night of partying. Ours is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector. This baby is a 2-in-1 concealer and highlighter. The highlighter end brushes on to brighten and rivals the far, far more expensive YSL Touche Eclat.

Apply the highlighter under your eyes to cover dark circles or in the corner of eyes, along the brow bone, in the cupid's bow of your lip and along the sides of your nose to add luminous touches to your face. Blend with your fingers or a makeup sponge.

Dot the concealer on blemishes, age spots, broken capillaries or other areas you want to cover. Don't overblend, because you'll lose too much coverage. Let is set for 10 seconds before applying foundation or powder on top.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector comes in four shades, retails for a MSR price of $8.99. Available at your favorite drugstore or online.

AirTran has Wi-Fi and Internetiquette

As of today, AirTran has Wi-Fi on its entire fleet. Now you can do a little shopping, catch up on emails, update your Facebook page and tweet to your hearts content while cruising above the clouds.

AirTran also released its guide to Internetiquette: "A guide to keeping everyone in line while they're on line." We give AirTran kudos for thinking ahead of the curve and possibly helping us avoid uncomfortable situations. For example: the bathroom is not your personal conference room; know what's in your photo gallery (family photos yes, Vegas pictures, no); and flight attendants are not tech support.

Happy surfing in the skies!

Harry Potter and Unicorn Tapestries

Yes, we were one of those crazy people who waited in line for hours last night to catch the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. What excited us the most, however, was not the Quidditch Game, the fight scene at the end or even our fellow Harry Potter-acs who dressed up in costume for the show (our favorite was an elfin Dobby). No, for us, it was what appeared to be a replica of the Unicorn in Captivity tapestry hanging in the halls of Hogwarts.



What's so special about this tapestry? The real one hangs in the Cloisters, the branch of the Metroplitan Museum in northern Manhattan that also happens to be our next door neighbor. The one shown in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is the final of seven tapestries that displays the hunt and eventual capture of the unicorn. According to the New Yorker, the unicorn was a symbol of Christianity, immortality, wisdom, lovers and marriage. It adds an interesting layer to this film in particular, which (and we don't think we're spoiling anything here, since almost everyone has read the book) culminates with the murder of Dumbeldore.

If you ever make the trek to the Cloisters, call us! We'll meet you for a picnic after.
