I caught a glimpse of Raquel Welch on the Joy Behar Show earlier in the week on one of her many stops as she is out promoting her book Life beyond Cleavage.
Valerie Bertinelli was filling in for Behar, who was out for the day doing the Jay Leno show. Anyhow, I just couldn’t get over the fact that Raquel Welch is 70 years old, and how good looks for her age. Apparently, neither could Bertinelli who also doesn’t look her age, as she kept asking her what her secret was to aging so well.
Raquel Welch has always denied having any cosmetic surgery to maintain her looks and attributes her beauty to nothing more than a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. She once claimed she spent up to ten hours a day keeping herself in shape through a combination of yoga sessions, weight training, healthy eating and her make-up regime.
In her book she does claim she has always used frownies to smooth out her wrinkles. Naturally I looked them up and immediately ordered me some. I will work on the exercise later.
Raquel Welch is speaking out on her life as a sex symbol in her new autobiography/personal philosophy Raquel, Beyond the Cleavage.
During a recent interview with Oprah, Welch referred to several men she recognizes in her book, two of which are Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.Also in the book, Raquel shares her feelings on being a single mom while emerging as a Hollywood sex symbol in One Million B.C., and shares insight on owning one’s sexuality with age.
On ABC news, Welch talked about how she has been perceived and referred to as an object, a sexual object. She offers advice now knowing what she does, hoping to shed some light for women who empathize. Read More »
Do you know our BFF Lora Somoza? If not, you really are missing out.
Lora is known online, and all over Southern California, as “the naughty Dear Abby” and “the West Coast’s Carrie Bradshaw”.
But, most importantly, Lora is the author of one of our favorite books on sex advice for women: Bliss in The Bedroom. (She gave SweetSpot Labs products a delightful shout out on page 76. Thanks girl!)
From the moment you read the first paragraph of Bliss, you know that Lora is someone who lives out loud. She immediately makes you feel comfortable with her organic approach to sex–one that doesn’t leave room for shame or embarrassment.
During a recent phone interview, Lora admitted to being a rather unlikely “sexpert”. “It wasn’t as if I was sitting around, as a little girl, in a pink tutu thinking I wanted to be a sex expert when I grew up!” Indeed: Her book was born from a very adult journey of self-discovery–a shattering of myths and illusions that hold us women back from realizing a fun and fabulous sex life.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love was a New York Times bestseller and pleasure read across the nation. The memoir chronicles Gilbert’s adventures in 3 countries. Spanning a year, Gilbert travels in search of mental and emotional clarity, hoping to redefine and redirect her life path.
Like many other popular novels, the story has been transferred to the silver screen with a pretty dingy cast. (And by dingy I mean freakin fabulous.) Directed by Ryan Murphy, Julia Roberts leads the ensemble followed by hunks James Franco and Javier Bardem. The film’s expected release date is August 13, 2010.
LA Times writer Susan Carpenter notes the influential progression of Young Adult books in the mainstream. Specifically, Carpenter takes note of the adult public’s interest in literature about and for young adults.
Book series like Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Lightning Thief, and The Book Thief have become increasingly popular with many adults. It’s usual for librarians, parents, and teachers to have an active interest in what the youth is reading and liking. Nowadays, popular adventure, romance, and fantasy novels about teenagers intrigue just about everybody, attributing intelligent writing and exciting narratives as key ingredients everyone can appreciate.
I personally heard about Twilight from an older colleague who enthusiastically raved about its intense teen vampire drama. I then found out Cayla, (age 12) whom I baby-sit for, had read all 4 books in a matter of two months. In recollection, I can say the same happened with Harry Potter when I realized I had been reading it the same time my mother, boyfriend, and younger cousin were.
What does this all mean? Perhaps we as adults still want to connect with the youth of today, or maybe we have a lot more in common than we think?
Do you have a list of things that you want to see or do before it’s your time to go, like visiting a tropical destination or somewhere covered in snow? Is your strong desire to dive out of a plane, swim with the sharks, climb the pyramids of Egypt, or white water raft on the Colorado River?
I hadn’t thought much about my “bucket list” until I came across this book1,000 Places To See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz, and I have to say I was quite intrigued.
As I started to flip through the pages, I was amazed at all the beauty this world has to offer. Suddenly, my list started to change….and grow. Here are a few things I’ve added: Read More »
