Over the passage of time, my friends and I frequently inquired to one another, “if you had to choose, would you desire to be famous OR would you rather delight in excess wealth?” In other words, we pondered the age-old question, “fame or fortune?”” As we have progressed from our teenage years into our twenties, then to our thirties and up, our sentiments on this query have vacillated. In our pimple-filled adolescent years, we craved fame. My chums and I imagined how cool it would be to be trailed around town by blinding flashbulbs as we were monitored by the paparazzi.

Mall shopping got you snoozing? Thrift store not enticing? Sometimes it’s hard being a fashionista. If the brand name designers are disappointing and you’ve got the urge to try to create some of your own pieces, look no further than the auto parts store. Yes, the auto parts store. Year to year, season to season it seems like the glitterati try to revamp a decade like the 60s or the 80s. Like resurrecting a zombie, it’s not the same and never will be same. It’s time to look ahead, into the space age like landing on comets and Mars (and not revamp the 60s moon landing either).

Let’s face it. Life is not always a fairytale. Being in the damsel in distress may get you bussed by a fairytale prince, but it’s not awesome when reality bites you in the derriere. Your car is not a pumpkin carriage or a magic carpet or a chariot drawn by swans. Last time I checked, I had no fairy godmother floating around whispering “Abracadabra” in my ear and smoothing my difficulties away. So it’s time to be an adult and assess how emergency-ready your vehicle is.

Hair Raising Beauty
The politically correct opinion to express is “inner beauty matters more than how you look on the outside.” But the truth is most of us like our outer beauty to shine as well. And for many of us, that means a gorgeous hair style. What if you’re caught in a situation where you have very limited tools and resources to manage your tresses? Perhaps you accompanied your significant other to a NASCAR or Indy Motor Racing event. You’re on this road trip because your other half is a true car fanatic and possesses all the latest auto gadgets. You’ve never seen him or her so giddy about traveling together in a car.

The trainers on these shows present a variety of bodybuilding moves to benefit their clients and help them flourish in meeting and exceeding their fitness goals.

I recently became the designated driver for a “girl’s night out.” I didn’t mind being the sober driver at all, but what did bother me was when these damsels became inebriated and thought it would be amusing to apply lipstick to my new seat covers. Arrggghhh! Later, of course, these ladies felt bad, but not bad enough to pay for replacement seat covers. Luckily, my car was equipped with corduroy covers that were able to be washed. So I took these vehicle chair protectors into my home and was relieved to see they exited the washing machine in pristine condition. All the evidence of a wild night had vanished.
