Please come join me September 17 in Venice for "Through a Child's Eye" a benefit to raise awareness and money for the children of the world.

So here we are in "the age" of texting.

All be it an art to say so much in so few words to avoid a monologue but create dialogue.

Who knew the courtship would come down to the alphabet?

Why call, when you can text?

What ever happened to Chivalry? How can it ever be found if all one thinks they have to do is text?

In closing I will say, "that texting is fine from time to time, but a man that does not call is no man at all."

I mean really someone told me 16 years ago to invest in Starbucks did I listen...

Obviously not, I of course wish I did. Oh well.

But coconut water that's a stock I want to buy. Perhaps I still can?







































It is a phenomenon. Everywhere you look people are suckling coconuts.

Truth is, it does hydrate you and guess what it tastes amazing with vodka. So as you dehydrate yourself you simultaneously hydrate yourself.

Who are all the monkeys that ran off with the coconuts?

I prefer a fresh young coconut. Hmmm sounds strange? But as a backup, then bring on the O.N.E natural experience.

Are you picking or do you think you have to be picked?

He loves me or loves me not.

Who's  flower is it anyway?

So you pick?

Please come and support the arts, the environment and education.  Join me, Smashbox and Joy Bryant to support this worthy cause.    This Thur. at Smashbox in LA.

Have you ever noticed how no one ever talks on airplanes anymore?

When I was a kid or even a teenager I was eager to sit next to a complete unknown individual and strike up a conversation.

Now I you sit down barely nod, if your feeling really friendly you might even turn up the corners of your mouth feigning what could be mistaken as a smile.

Then you proceed to sit down and sit in complete silence for the duration of your trip.

I wonder what the energy field would looks like around us so close but yet so far.

Are we saving ourselves or wasting a chance to meet someone new.

I vote to break the silence.

For the sake of conversation lets just say that there was an Adam and Eve.

If that is the case, then I would like to know how long was before she took the fated bite.

Was it 2 years or 20 of bliss?

Did you ever think that, perhaps Adam and Eve were getting lazy in their love and lovemaking. What if they found it hard to communicate over all that time being the only two people on earth?

Temptation, it has happened to us all. Sometimes we overcome the urge and are better and more evolved for it. Other times we fall prey. Whether the apple be sweet or sour, the taste always teaches us a lesson.

Thanks Eve, for keeping it interesting.

I bet most of you think that Hillary Clinton is the first women to run for, the "President of the United States".

Well not only is that false, but the list of women is long. Although there is only one in which I would like to speak of.

She was the first women to ever run for president 136 years ago. Her name was Victoria Woodhull.



Friends with the rich, infamous and scandalous, Victoria fed the homeless and nursed the sick.

She believed and was an advocate of birth control, graduated income tax, social welfare progress, better public housing, easier divorce laws, world government, and the female orgasm.

Did I mention that she was the first women on Wall Street and owned her own newspaper.
 
She ran for office in a time when women could not even vote. I wonder how she would fare now.

She was a women truly ahead of her time.

I vote for Victoria Woodhull.

We have all heard of the saying "you are what you eat". The fact is TRUE.

Recently, I have been vigilant about taking vitamins for my skin. The effects are proof that my new regime is working.

Omega 3-help maintain cell membranes so that they are effective barriers--allowing water and nutrients in, and keeping toxins out. Omega-3s also seem to be able to protect skin against sun damage. In a study of skin cancer, people who ate diets rich in fish oils and other omega 3 fats had a 29% lower risk of squamous cell cancer than those who got very little omega 3 fats from food.

Ester C- is involved in collagen production and protects cells from free radical damage. Scientific studies found that when lab animals ate vitamin C-fortified food, their skin was better able to fight off oxidative damage. That said, replenish your skin's vitamin C stores by eating plenty of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid- it has been demonstrated that free radical damage is one of the leading causes of the symptoms we know as aging. As we get older, the levels of free radicals in our bodies increase, causing a decrease in the efficiency of our cells. This leads to a lack of energy, lower immune system function among other issues. Coincidentally, the levels of ALA in our bodies decrease with age as the free radical activity increases. Supplementation with ALA can help reverse this process.

So start popping those pills!
