Hi All,
Whenever I use a dressing room or go into a public restroom, I always think to myself, is there a camera or two way mirror here? How would I know? Well, this morning I received one of those warning emails for women. Although, I hardly read all warning e-mails, this one caught my attention. In the e-mail, a policewoman taught business women the following:
How to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?
Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!
"No Space, Leave the Place" ~ So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything.

PROJECT PINSTRIPE - HELP YOUNG MEN DRESS FOR SUCCESS
Hi All,
Today, I read in the NY Daily News about an organization called Project Pinstripe. This organization provides, for free, new or gently worn clothes to outstanding young men between the ages of 18 and 24. The organization understands the need to dress for success and understands that most young men cannot afford to buy suits and accessories.
Project Pinstripe is based in Manhattan and founded by Viktoria Horvath three years ago. The program has helped so far 350 young men in New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Miami and Orlando.
If you would like to donate, please contact the organization at http://www.projectpinstripe.org/.

The Mary J. Blige & Jay-Z Concert Was the BOMB!
Hi All,
It's Monday morning...I know but life goes on.
On Saturday, May 3, 2008, my husband and I went to Atlantic City, New Jersey to see Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z perform. It was the best concert that I've been to so far. The Dream and his dancers opened and moved the crowd with his songs from his Love Hate album like Shawty is a ten, I luv your girl and Falsetto. His performance was OK. I think the dancers excited the crowd more than his performance. Let's just say that I was trying to record his performance and my husband told me to get the dancers....:) It was like seeing clothed exotic dancers.
Anyway, I love Mary's music. She was so energetic and involved with her audience. Her connection with the audience, especially the women, was unbelievable. The crowd roared for each song she performed. We all sang along with the exception of the song I'm Going Down. The women sang it. She was ecstatic. She talked to the crowd and even sent a message to the men urging them to be fathers to their children and congratulating those who are fathers to their children. Mary's performance was uplifting and sacred. The feelings women hold were released through her. You can feel it in the air. The live band, string orchestra and back up singers were exhilarating.
Jay-Z and Mary together controlled the crowd. Each one taking turns to shine when they performed together. When it was Jay's turn, he rocked the house, literally. The booming sounds of the live band was incredible. The crowd conformed to Jay's music right away. They rapped along with him. Memphis Bleek surprised us with his presence and performance with Jay. I was surprised that I even knew the lyrics to several of his songs. I'm not a regular follower of Jay's music but it's funny how quickly you can get sucked up into the beats. He made a reference to politics. All I can say here is that he is not happy with President Bush. (Who is?) He had the crowd point their middle fingers at a picture of Bush. At that point, the lights went on and the crowd was at a standstill with their middle fingers pointed to the picture. He held the crowd like that for a couple of seconds. After, the crowd roared and supported it. He also called out Obama for president. He is a very talented and confident person.
The audience was great. The crowd consisted of a diverse group of people. No fighting, no hassles just plain ole camaraderie and fun! I had such a great time! My husband had a great time too. I want to see it again. I don't know why we waited so long to see Mary J. Blige and/or Jay-Z in concert. I recommend anyone looking to see a great show to see this one.

Shave Eyebrows Off or Else No School -- Huh!
Hi All,
Happy Friday!
I read a short story in the AM New York newspaper yesterday about how High School boys are shaving vertical lines into their eyebrows like the Rapper Soulja Boy.
School administrators at Centennial High School in Portland, Oregon has told all students who have shaved vertical lines into their eyebrows to shave off their eyebrows or they will not be allowed back in school. School administrators believe that the vertical lines represent gang symbols. However, one of the boys said that he just does it to look cool and get girls.
OK. I have to first say that this is not something new. Maybe new to them. Second, I don't think it would phase the boys any if they are not allowed back in school. Third, the boys don't have to shave off their eyebrows. Mothers/Fathers all you have to do is pencil in the shaved areas with an eyebrow make-up pencil until the hair grows back. Imagine half of the boys in school with no eyebrows or with one eyebrow. What a way to boost the confidence and self-esteem of kids, especially high school boys!
