I've decided to move my Friday Threesome (as in three usually unrelated things) to Thursday, as I'm fond of alliteration. Color me crazy ...
1. Feist tickets go on sale Friday!!! Fell in love with their "1,2,3,4" song they used on the iPod Nano commercial (or at least I think that was the product -- could've been Maxi pads for all I know). But I've since secured their latest CD and love it more than marmalade. A lot more, actually, as I'm not a marmalade fan. Anyway, it's at Cain's Monday, April 14, so get your skates on.
2. As long as I don't set the house or the cat's tail on fire, I love me some candles. One of my favorite candle makers, Slatkin & Co., has two new and oh-so romantic dancing tealight holders for VD (or, as Hallmark prefers it, Valentine's Day). Simply place a lit tealight inside each one, "and the flickering flames will cause magic," they tell me. I'm thinkin' "Xanadu," but I think they just mean magic of the candlelit, romance-inducing variety. Anyway, set them on the dining room table for a lovely dinner a deux, and hearts will beat more quickly. They're available in hot pink and silver, and frost and hot pink ($7.50 at Bath & Body Works stores nationwide).
3. Here are five facts about plastic surgery, courtesy of Dr. John A. Grossman, a board-certified Beverly Hills and Denver cosmetic doctor I interviewed last month:
1. There is no such thing as a scar-less surgery.
2. The most requested breast implant in California and Florida is greatly larger that the size requested in New York and Boston, Mass.
3. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery, males make up 9 percent of all cosmetic procedures. The most popular procedure done on males in 2006 was rhinoplasty (which I'm TOTALLY getting when I win the lottery or learn to date better).
4. Breast implants should be changed every 10 years.
5. (And this is the scary one) Your nose does not grow with age, it only stretches. Nice.
Peace, love and Spandex nostrils ... xoxo
