'Tis the season of receiving lots of invites to Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings, and since my mom always told me I should never come to a party empty-handed, it's time to start thinking hostess gifts. Decorative, sweet-smelling soaps and presents to pamper dishpan hands are always a great go-to, but why not get your hostess something a little little more wild or daring — something she wouldn't normally purchase for herself, like an out-of-the-ordinary hair accessory, trendy matte or glittery nail polish, or a festive makeup kit? Also, I'm all for gifting classic makeup items that your hostess will wear not just for the holidays, but throughout the year.

I've worn glasses for about 14 years now, and from one "trendy" frame to another, I've had lots of different looks. Since some were good, and others I'd prefer to forget, that was the inspiration behind this series of posts on choosing eyeglass frames.

Salons often come up with punny names. In Minneapolis, it's Curl Up and Dye. In my hometown, it was The Clipper Ship.

Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Studio 54 was the place to be. During its heyday, the Manhattan discothèque was notorious for its jet-setting crowd of celebrities and socialites, and among other things, its reputation for drugs and illicit sexual liaisons among some of those in attendance. All hedonism aside, it was also an era where fluffy hair, lots of makeup, and sparkled accessories reigned supreme.

In April, I mentioned that my friends Liz and Dave would be tying the knot in Boston. I'm happy to report that the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and the newlyweds are off on their honeymoon. The bride already knew how she'd be wearing her makeup, and her hair was styled in a classic looped bun.
