GOLDEN

Weren't Rachel McAdams and Jennifer Lawrence beautiful at the Golden Globes?  From hair to makeup to jewelry - you know, their whole 'look' was spot on?!   Kirsten Dunst's beautifully designed, Greeky' Goddessy smokin' dress, you gotta respect.  Jana Fonda's, Amy Schumur's, and Katy Perry's dresses; maybe not my favorites.   Cate Blanchett always owned.    story             . . . We like to look at pretty things.  And we judge them.   Best or Worst ...   Important to do?  Is there more to a woman than what's on the outside??     Duh.

Principle in the type:  ". . . contribution of women is often under-appreciated.  I wish to express gratitude for the influence of good women, identify some of the philosophies and trends that threaten women’s strength and standing, and voice a plea to women to cultivate the . . .  power within them.         D.

INNER VOICE

Recently engaged to longtime girlfriend Kristen, The Voice winner Jordan Smith (who is not a lookalike to his The Voice coach Adam Levine), told People magazine winning was a "big confidence booster."  No doubt!  But also "the show's proven to me that what matters is on the inside.  Each week, I've proven there's a place for people like me in the industry."  An industry that sometimes centers too much on a certain look or physique.    story    

Principle in the type:  "Most people never fulfill their human promise and potential because they remain perpetually helpless children overwhelmed by a sense of inferiority. The feeling of being okay does not imply that the person has risen above all his faults and emotional problems. It merely implies that he refuses to be paralyzed by them."  Thomas Harris
