My wife and I ran the 5K (non-timed) this morning for the Susan G. Komen race for the cure.

GTL in the MIA!

Well, it’s in its second season, and it’s better than ever with fake nails popping off, extensions flying, and thick Guido accents all around. That’s right kids, we are smack dab in the middle of the second season, of the “acclaimed” (and I use that word loosely) season of Jersey Shore. Snooki, Jwoww, Sammi, Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinnie, The Situation have all returned! But instead of invading Seaside Heights for the second season, the gang has headed cross country to the beaches of Miami. That’s right kids, Miami!  

As we left them last season, Ronnie and Sam had called it quits, but it seems living in house together in the humid air of the MIA has sparked the overly tanned, half nude duo. For the first several episodes of the show, it was off again on again with Ronnie and Sam, fighting and breaking up more often than Heidi and Spencer.

But wait! Who’s that walking through the door? Is it the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island? I think it is! Yep, Angelina and her bitchy attitude have returned to bring enlightenment to the house, and by enlightenment I mean drama for sure.  She left in a huff last season, and so far this season, it doesn’t seem like her attitude towards her roommates is going to be much better. With tensions in the house as high as the girls stilettos, it seems as if this season is more drama filled than the previous. And with rumors of a third season back in NJ, the team is in for at least another 15 minutes of fame before we find Pauly D aerating the ground with his hair, and “The Situation” working at a Laundromat scrubbing the shirts on his abs.  

With the announcement of a possible third season of the series in the works, it brings about the reinvention of the gang. Pauly is seen on the red carpet wearing a suit, and Snooki has brought the hemline down, along with the bump in her hair. Jwoww has removed the highlights, and Sammi has a more “Sweetheart” look about her now.

The Jersey Shore hair style for the white carpet this past weekend was all about the straight look, with Jwoww, Sammi and Snooki all with the long, straight locks that shine for the cameras. This look is much better compared to the “Bump” style of last season, and brings the women of the “Shore” more in tune with the hair of the day.

Before the Emmys that the rest of us saw on Sunday night was the Creative Arts Emmys. The big winner for hair for a series was again the hottest show on television, MAD MEN. It was for the episode "souvenir". The head hairstylist is Lucia Mace. Congratulations to Lucia and the entire team!

They all do incredible work on that show. I had always thought of women from the Mad Men era as stiff and uptight. It did not look like a lot of fun to be a women during that time to me. However, Mad Men has totally changed my point of view. I have realized through the over all creative team on this show that this time period was a very sexy time for women. Women put a lot of time and effort into their hair, clothes, and their femininity. In fact it seems to me that women were running things a lot more then in a very behind the scenes way than we are now. I think it looks like a lot of fun! Imagine being "Joan" on the show. The guys may think that they are in charge but I don't think that's entirely true.

Really the women then are just like we are today. We all can run things from behind the scenes or from right up front. Whichever way is more fun to you. We all have our own beauty, naturally, and what we don't have or what we want to improve on we can. There are a million products to help our skin, nails, hair, there are always new clothes, all of this right at our fingertips. We all can create whatever look we would like, and we can also avoid the looks that we don't want. We all have it in us to be a "Joan" or a "Peggy" and to have all the fun that we want!
