February 10th...National Bankruptcy Day

I know this is a hair blog. I am totally aware of that. However, today I feel the need to put something out there that may push readers away.

Soon, a United States law will go into affect that will have a profound impact on small business, including ALL on my sidebar. It is called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. It is a law that in essence, prohibits anyone from selling products to children under twelve without rigorous lead testing. This includes ANY products intended for use by a child. Small businesses, Etsy, E-bay, Craigslist, Freecycle, thrift stores, garage sales, even hand-me-downs are included in this measure.

I am disgusted. That means no more give-aways. I could be prosecuted if I give something to one of my readers. I would by law be required to provide a "chain" to where I received the item, and the person who donated the item as well. Can we say McCarthy?

All items that haven't been tested for lead by February 10th will be required to be thrown into a landfill. I am disgusted that the country I live in, who boasts of its many freedoms, would do something as heinous as this. So much for "going green".

I understand the need to test for lead, however the lead problems are from China. Not the beautiful heirloom doll house my dad made for me when I was a little girl. According to the law, instead of leaving it to my girls, we will have to toss it. You won't be able to give those hardly used clothes to Goodwill or your neice or neighbor. Clothing prices at retailers will go through the roof because of the sheer cost of testing each article of clothing. I was thinking today that it reminds me a lot of why our country established it's own union. Taxation without representation. The bottom line is what matters. Forcing people to buy retail instead of buying used. They can't tax clothing that has already been sold. No more boutique clothes. No more homemade puzzles. No more toys that Grandpa lovingly worked on for over a month.

What makes me even sicker is that OUR house passed it with no nays and only a few in the Senate. I have a pit in my stomach. I can only imagine who is in the back pockets of these lawmakers.

For living in a country that boasts being a democracy, it sure feels a lot like communism.

Jennifer Lopez and hubby put on a united front as they attended the inauguration ceremony of Luis Fortuno as the new governor of Puerto Rico at the Capitol Building in San Juan on Friday.

For weeks, rumours were swirling that Marc and J.Lo’s marriage was at the breaking point after they both appeared separately without their wedding rings.

But these hot-off-the-press shots showing the couple with Marc’s arm around Jen should quells all of the rumours.

Similarly, Madonna and Guy Ritchie showed up to the RocknRolla premiere together following months of reported marital problems. And we all know how well that turned out!

Jennifer Lopez & hubby Pretend Their Marriage Is OK


Desperate to avoid any bad press about their failing marriage so soon after their twins were born, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony take off to Puerto Rico for a ‘romantic vacation’.

JLo and Skeletor were seen having dinner with family and friends at Marmalade, a trendy, upscale restaurant in the old-town section of San Juan.


“Jennifer and Marc looked very happy, so it is hard for me to believe the rumors that their marriage is in trouble,” the eatery’s general manager, Trace Donaldson, tells E! News. “They were laughing and seemed to be having a great time.”


On Monday, the representative of Jennifer Lopez denied a report that had the seemingly cozy couple planning to announce their breakup right after Anthony’s Feb. 14 show at Madison Square Garden.


The representative said: “There is no merit to the article.”


Jennifer Lopez was spotted Dec. 26 boarding a private flight straight to Puerto Rico out of Van Nuys Airport.


On a positive note, Jennifer Lopez has a new fragrance, Sunkissed Glow coming out this year. The ads feature a sexy Jennifer Lopez in a bikini, photographed by Peter Lindbergh on the island Islamorada in Florida.


The new fragrance Sunkissed Glow is a flowery, fruity and sensual scent with notes of orange blossom, waterlilies and passion flowers. You will also smell the scent of ember, musk and cashmere wood.

The fragrance hits European stores in February 2009. No U.S. release date has been sent yet.
