Whenever I go to the hair salon or Laundromat, I make a beeline for the stacks of magazines; they are usually thrown in a corner on a table or near the window. I happily peruse the array of celebrity gossip, fashion and beauty offerings. This is a joyful hobby of mine; to live for an hour or so vicariously, through a glamorous celeb's beauty and fashion triumphs and faux pas.
It is a wonder to see how some celebrities transform themselves; not always for the better but, who has cornered the market on fashion perfection? Anyway, some are able to change from just plain looking, going to Whole Foods to shop. Presto! like magic change to walking down the red carpet of a movie premiere with astounding results.
There are those who confess to utilizing the expertise of a stylist and those gifted few who can go it alone and impress. Halle Berry always looks fantastic on or off the red carpet. I love this womon's sense of style from everyday wear and nights out working the premieres. Few dress better than Ms Berry and lets not forget, her recent pregnancy,she just blew all comers out of the fashion pool. Others I admire are Kim Kardashian, Dita Von Teese, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Lopez to name a few, and let us not forget the men.
I totally melt at the sight of Brad Pitt , George Clooney and Fashionisto Justin Timberlake, whose William Rast line is raging right now. Celeb fashion watching is a guilty pleasure that gives a special glow to my days,which are filled with not as much glamorous eventing as I would like.Finding and folding matching pairs of socks? Not so glam.

A Breaking Dawn
It has been a dark and stormy 2009, for me and almost everyone I know. American life has become a raging sea of layoffs, stock market struggles, criminal misconduct , roiling anger and heartbreaking familial losses.
This has been a time, that requires a steadfast and stout heart; that will not accept defeat. I have declared, the mere whiff of failure in thought or speech, forbidden. A plan of action is in order. I have searched through the abilities that I have, the hobbies I love, to resurrect my life anew.
I have been a writer of poetry for most of my life, and had work published in my Alma Mater's literary magazine, as well as on Poetry.com. In recent times, I decided to become a freelance writer. I gloriously obtained a contract job; writing web content for Blerp.com. I enjoy it immensely and realized that I love sharing my opinion, interests and tastes with the public at large. I have decided to research avenues of employment in freelance writing and in doing so discovered the field of commercial and business copy writing. New opportunities abound in these avenues.
I believe this will be the start of something golden.
