I had the chance to see Cirque du Soleil’s OVO this week and it is amazing. There is nothing as powerful as live performance especially in our high tech screen oriented media saturated world. To see performers push the limits of human capability and excel right before your eyes is astonishing and inspiring. There is nothing frightening about the show in terms of it being inappropriate for children – although the acts are thrilling – trapeze artists, and trampoline artists continue to heighten the danger, and excitement of their performances as the evening progresses. There is also great beauty and artistry in all of the movement on stage. If you have never seen Cirque du Soleil, I urge you to do so, and if you bring the kids they will witness something truly extraordinary that I am sure they will never forget.

Stark Waxing Studio of Silver Lake just added a new studio in Studio City, and it is fantastic. Whatever your personal preferences are on body hair removal, I bet we can all agree that if you do get a wax of some kind, you want it done quickly, as painlessly as possible, and by a pro. This can be a delicate matter. Stark is a great place for a wax, as they use a special European wax that hurts less, as it sticks to hair and not your skin. The staff at Stark is terrific and so professional. The atmosphere is sleek, clean and downright cool. Stark also offers eyelash and brow tinting and shaping. They are masters with eyelash dye, so careful and gentle, and that’s a procedure that can be quite a scary and stinging in the wrong hands. Ah, what we do in the name of beauty.
The other impressive part of Stark Waxing is that their boutique carries a gorgeous array of jewelry, body products, even a few baby items and kids books.
For the next few months they are offering $10.00 off any one service, which is a great deal.

I am feeling very technologically up to date, as I was given the new I-Phone for Christmas. It was an upgrade, and the guy in the store literally laughed when he saw my old one, which was one of the originals. But I am not going to tell you how great the i-phone (but it is!!) I am going to tell you about a very cool website called Zazzle where you can design and buy your own custom case!
I made one the other day with a black and white photo of the kids on it. It is sturdy plastic, and also has a little strip of rubber inside to protect the phone. The day I ordered it there was a discount code so it was also less expensive than any case you would find in the Apple store.
Designing it was really easy. You just upload a photo, and if you want to add lettering you can, too. I also made a case for my son’s i-pod- touch, which he drops on a regular basis.
Check out Zazzle They also carry a myriad of other products that you can customize: tee shirts, bags, hats, etc. But as most people carry their phone with them at all times, a custom case would make a great gift. Perfect for a new mom, spouse, Grandparent, or that friend in your life who has everything. They can also be customized for Blackberries.
