‘Pep your style

I’d rather watch the Maltese Falcon than the current day dregs of film

For those of us of a certain age, the Peanuts gang was a part of growing up. Charles Schulz struck gold when he developed his distinct child characters who reflected in their own ways the world of adults never seen in the strip.

Stage Alive hosts six shows each season

In my travels this summer I have noticed a lot of people with body piercings.

The day after I had the privilege of seeing Bruce Springsteen live in Richmond, the ringing in my ears still had not subsided. But I’m not complaining.

Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” features lots of big name actors and a solid soundtrack. But as Forrest Gump would say — that’s all I have to say about that. If only.

My husband and I gradually got hooked on “American Idol” this past year and as we watched the eliminations week after week we began to choose our favorites.

It’s just a feeling and America has been through it before. Unemployment, foreclosures, rising prices, stagnant hopes. So how (to re-word King Theseus) shall we beguile uncertain times if not with some delight?

What’s coming to local stages?

Everyone is trying to hide all that unattractive hair this season from the upper lip to your legs. Shaving can cause razor burn and only lasts a few weeks; waxing for some is painful and can cause redness for a few hours.

Who doesn’t want one of these cool little toys?

Hey, can’t I like bands with names like “I Wrestled a Bear Once” and “The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza”

First the good news. Wayside Theatre’s yearlong renovation is complete and not only does the new water fountain work and the bathrooms are bigger and roomier, the new seats are a thousand percent improvement. Ultra comfortable. (First row balcony is too close to the railing, but you can’t have everything) Congratulations and welcome back to the new digs.

Number of Rascal Flatts concerts: five. Years of observing their career: three. Finally getting to meet them… priceless!

“I don’t care which political party you belong to: Republican or Democrat – tonight you’re all members of the Paisley Party and we’re gonna have a good time,” exclaimed Brad Paisley as he took the stage July 13 at Nissan Pavilion.

This is the resignation notice left by Eric Watkevich a few days ago.

I often wonder if it is true that we are what we eat. Have you ever wondered why we eat what we do? Many factors influence what we eat: our religion; ethic background; the region we live in; growing season and many more.

History says Mongol warrior Genghis Khan conquered more land than anyone else. By the end of his life in 1227, he ruled everything between the Caspian Sea and Beijing.
But Genghis Khan wasn’t always at the top.

He plays, argues, rages when crossed, and demands incessant attention. This ridiculous little question mark of a man swears he’s dying and hangs upon the advice of his doctors, none of whom would know a trachea from a tractor. He’s “The Imaginary Invalid,” the great Moliere’s last play and the one that Moliere himself, sick with tuberculosis, played for Louis XIV on the fourth night and died just hours after the curtain.

This past year everything I’ve ever thought about old people has been turned on its head.

For some people jewelry is just something they wear and it doesn’t always have to match their clothes, but others make jewelry a fashion accessory.

Putting my Ninja skills to good use

Bermuda shorts are totally hot this season, so put away those booty shorts ladies. These knee-length shorts are very versatile for anywhere you plan to go.

Last night I dreamt I went to — Mandacrest??

Most people have a use for watching a screen, whether it’s a computer for e-mail, business applications, or home theater systems. There are so many options as to what type of screen you can use that it’s difficult to make a decision. But today, while including home theater and business applications together, we’re going to talk about projectors.
