Remember the time...?
Ok, ok, I'm with many of you tired of the Michael Jackson news overload. But I couldn't help enjoy the legacy he left behind with his fashion. It's interesting that in all the pictures in Harper's Bazaar it is a white british blond female that is portraying Jackson's various looks.

Slide Show: Top Healthiest Brands
From Businessweek: August 3, 2009
Who Do Consumers Trust?
By Tara Kalwarski
A company's worth is rarely equal to the sum of its assets. In fact, most corporations hold intangible value. An important case in point: brand image. Research shows that brand power can account for as much as 10% of the change in a company's stock price—up or down. The past year has made all too clear that a company's image is no guarantee of future performance. The following publicly traded brands are the "healthiest" right now, as measured by ("YouGov's BrandIndex"), which tracks consumers' perceptions across six categories by polling 5,000 people each weekday. YouGov, a polling firm, scores each category from -100 to +100, then averages the grades for each company to come up with its BrandIndex score.

I will never forget you nameless man
A few weeks ago, during my beloved nephew's graduation I met a handsome man.
Many of us had traveled long ways to attend this graduation.
This handsome man was there with a family member and the quietest man I've met in a long time. We were all very excited to see each other that first night and I know we are all very talkative people. But not a peep out of him.
That evening my husband and I asked each other if we know anything about him? We both said we've heard he is an artist. Ok... So he may have been shy that first night and not said anything. Or to romanticize the situation he may be the water runs deep kinda soul and he is observing us so that we can figure in his next art work ? Whatever...
48 hours later and we still didn't know this person. Still no more than a hello and goodbye from him. It must have been painful to be so quiet among such lively and talkative people.
But then everything changed when we had to say our final goodbyes to travel our long distances back home. I went to him for a handshake and to wish him and his family a safe trip back home. His handshake was SO firm and he squeezed my hand so fiercely that I literally bent my knees and went "ahhh" in pain. But he didn't seem to notice. He smiled and was forever gone.
It is now three weeks later and my hand still hurts. I have to suddenly let go of things specially if I'm holding a pot. Had he not hurt me I would have long forgotten him by now... He may not have been talkative but he sure was an unforgettable pain...

Most Popular Nano Color
What is the most popular Nano color, I wonder. I am desperately in need of a Nano. My old white one died over a year ago and I miss it so.
Today I was at a Latin Fusion fitness session over at Lifetime Fitness and the most excellent Rochi was teaching the course. Man that was so much fun! Okay I know, I'm digressing!
The music in that session was so good (soooo darn good!!!!) that I wished I had my Nano back so I could do all those sexy moves on my own. Not being able to think of anything else - on my way home I mozied on over to Costco to check out the Nanos. The choice of the colors were tough! This isin't suppose to be tough! If they had had red, I would have taken one right away!
They were:
Blue
Pink
Purple (!)
Black
Silver ( I hear it's the most popular? Really???)
So go ahead! Take a poll right here! What is your fave, darlin'?
I couldn't make up my mind so I walked away empty handed. Isin't it crazy? How much will I care about the color in the end? I have no idea!!!!
