				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Dentist-Again-SerafinoSays.com_.jpg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4757" title="Dentist Again? SerafinoSays.com" alt="" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Dentist-Again-SerafinoSays.com_.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></a></p> <p>If there is one appointment we dread more than our &#8220;lady&#8221; doctor it is the dentist office.  The entire experience is a sensory depressant.  Beginning with the haunting shrill of the drill we hear sitting in the waiting room, to the musty dark wood paneling on the office walls from 1972, to the dogeared <em>Highlights</em> magazine that regrettably activates our memory to your very first drill &amp; fill cavity experience.</p> <p>My question is when you finally muster up the courage to book an appointment, where do you turn for advice?  Do we randomly Google a local dentistry office, flip through old magazines hoping to find an article on &#8220;Happy Teeth&#8221;, or poll your friends flashing the best pearly whites?  Or do we just throw caution to the wind and walk into our local dentist office squeezed between a bodega and an OTB office?</p> <p>When you think about it you only have &#8220;one smile.&#8221;  Ya&#8217; might just want to pass on the previous options and turn to a most credible source for information; the dentist&#8217;s dentist, celebrity dentist Dr. Jeff Bartlett at<a href="http://www.dreamsmilecenter.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> DreamSmileCenter.</span></a>  <span style="color: #ff0000;">SerafinoSays</span> asked Dr. Barlett for a advice on how to find the right dentist trained in today&#8217;s latest procedures, utilizes state of the art technology&#8230; and of course has a current selection of magazines other then <em>Highlights</em>!</p> <div><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mail.jpeg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-4750" title="mail" alt="" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mail-124x150.jpg" width="218" height="263" /></a></div> <div></div> <div><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mail-1.jpeg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-4751" title="mail-1" alt="" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mail-1-150x115.jpg" width="150" height="115" /></a></div> <div></div> <div> <p>When we first arrived at Dr. Bartlett&#8217;s office, we were pleasantly surprised (actually shocked) to see a beautiful decor that included hip music in the background, current VOGUE magazine on a neat coffee table, entertaining and educational videos quietly running on flat screens, and&#8230; wait for it&#8230;. several foot massage machines in the waiting room.  Judy, the receptionist/assistant greeted us with her gorgeous pearly white smile.  She kindly asked us to fill out a few forms, patiently answered all of our questions, offered us a beverage, then suggested we call her for any additional questions.</p> <p>We sat for a few minutes when Judy informed us that Gloria, the dental hygienist, would be with me shortly.  Within seconds, Gloria appeared with another pearly white smile and contagious demenour.  (For a short second, I forgot I was at the dentist office.)  At first glance the room looked like something out of a futuristic movie.  The chair was a soft white leather with heated cushions facing a monster flat screen TV, a ipod docking station, and hanging on the side of the tray was a brand new set of BOSE Cancellation Head Phones.  I must admit, the head phones must have been a decoy from all the sharp metal tools sitting on the tray but that didn&#8217;t seem to matter anymore.</p> <p>While I sat comfortably in the reclined chair listening to Adele on the head sets, watching dolphins frolic in the ocean on the flat screen, Gloria attended to her due diligence on my teeth.  By the end of Gloria&#8217;s exploratory probing in my mouth and some X-Rays, she and my molars had become best friends.</p> <p>Gloria asked me to sit tightly as Dr. Bartlett would be with my shortly.  Still captivated by the dolphins swimming on the 50&#8243; monitor, I was somewhat taken aback when a very handsome man suddenly appeared sitting on the stool next to my chair.  Dr. Bartlett reached to shake my hand to introduced himself and then asked how was my visit so far.  His sincerity caught me by surprise and I barely uttered, &#8220;I&#8217;m OK thank you.&#8221;  If only I could blame my giddy answer on the Lidocaine.</p> <p>Dr. Barltett was the first dentist that ever explained completely what he was going to look for before he even picked up a tool.  He walked me through step-by-step what he was looking for and what he was seeing.  Afterward Dr. Barltett assessed the situation and we discussed necessary, as well as recommended, procedures to make my mouth a happy and healthy one.  For the very first time in a dentist chair, I was confident and comfortable to move forward on what needed to be done.</p> <p>I was definitely a patient for life!  The dentist office was no longer a place of fear, but a place where I knew I would &#8220;literally&#8221; find myself smiling.</p> <p>For all the reasons listed above and several more, it was obvious to me that Dr. Bartlett was the perfect choice to offer a Top 10 List of what to look for when searching for a dentist.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Dr. Bartlett&#8217;s TOP TEN &#8220;MUST HAVES&#8221; when searching for a Dentist :</strong></span></p> </div> <ol> <li><strong>One-hour Tooth Whitening</strong> &#8211; Is a one hour teeth lasering that is performed in the dental office.</li> <li><strong><a title="Invisalign" href="http://www.invisalign.com/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Invisalign</a></strong> &#8211;

Since the java hadn&#8217;t fully kicked-in it did not occur to me that the Tony Award Nominees were recently announced.</p> <p>Once I finally realized what was happening I inhaled my grits, guzzled my java and bolted out of the diner to congratulate my newly nominated friend&#8230;&#8230; But STOP!</p> <p>I suddenly received a frantic text from Nat to hang-tight at the diner since Laura was in the midst of being bombarded with emails, texts, and calls from every form of media.  They all wanted their chance to interview Laura and capture the Broadway starlet&#8217;s reaction to her 2nd nomination.  While the Oscars may attract a larger national viewing audience, Broadway&#8217;s own Tony Awards is an enormous event in the Big Apple and among theater fans worldwide.</p> <p>Following Nat&#8217;s advice I headed back to my usual booth and sat on pins and needles.  This was only the beginning of the media madness that Laura, and all Tony Award nominees will have to endure over the next few weeks leading up the the 2013 Tony Awards broadcast.</p> <p>As you can see by our diner inspired Tony Nomination Brunch picture, we shared hugs and crazy giddy excitement.  My besties enjoyed a scrumptious omelet and I sipped away at another cup of java as we wholeheartedly shared in Laura&#8217;s astonishing news.</p> <p>Laura, I am so excited for you and can&#8217;t wait to see you on <a href="http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/news/articles/2013-03-13/201303131363142069857.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>June 9th 2013</strong></span></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-30-at-8.57.31-PM.png" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9768" title="Laura Osnes Cinderella - SerafinoSays.com" alt="Laura Osnes Cinderalla" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-30-at-8.57.31-PM.png" width="414" height="413" /></a></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Can&#8217;t get enough of Laura&#8230;&#8230;</strong></span></p> <p>Want to share in the fun when I saw Cinderella? <a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/cinderella-on-broadway/" target="_blank" rel="dofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Click Here</strong></span></a></p> <p>Want to see how I styled Laura&#8217;s hair for her first Tony Nomination?<a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/tony-awards-2012-red-carpet-moment/" target="_blank" rel="dofollow"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> Click Here</span></strong></a></p> <p>Want to see a few more fun moments with Laura? <strong><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/laura-osnes-2012-tony-nominee/" target="_blank" rel="dofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Click Here</span></a></strong></p> <div class="pib-hover-container pib-hover-container-aligncenter" style="clear: both;"><img class="aligncenter pib-hover-img" title="serafinosays.com SMALL" alt="" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/logo-small.jpg" width="75" height="64" /></div> <h5 style="text-align: center;">“True beauty isn’t about perfection.

Slowly, but just as surely as your hair begins to dry, butterflies build in the pit of your stomach.  Now, if you have been down this road before then I have a sneaking suspicion you know what comes next.  Strangely similar to a National Geographic documentary on African wildlife, your hair takes on the properties of a chameleon as it mysteriously changes color.  It’s about now that you are saying to yourself, “At what part during my consultation with my colorist did I say I wanted to be a brunette.”</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Paul-Smith-Final-Hi-Res.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1164" title="Highlights and Lowlights Hair" alt="" src="http://serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Paul-Smith-Final-Hi-Res-240x300.jpg" width="240" height="300" /></a></p> <p>This is when <span style="color: #ff0000;">SerafinoSays</span> turns to its big gun <a href="http://www.kaaral.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Celebrity Colorist Paul Smith.</span></a></p> <p>Paul suggests the purpose of highlights or lowlights in the hair is to add texture and dimension to a person’s hair color.</p> <p>When you finally decide you are ready for highlights or low lights, here are a few suggestions that will make the process a little smoother when meeting with your colorist.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">SerafinoSays</span> Guide to Getting Highlights and Lowlights Hair:</strong></span></p> <p>1.  Call and make an appointment with your colorist.</p> <p>2. Be assured that your colorist and you are on the “same page” by bringing in a “page” (tear sheet) from a magazine showing the color you desire.  Since it is literally impossible to describe a specific color, you want this form of guarantee that everyone involved in the process definitively knows what you want.</p> <p>3.  Your colorist has a few choices on the technique to highlight your hair.  Most are acceptable, some are not.  Acceptable techniques include; foils to apply the color, Bailage (a free hand painting technique), or frosting (a rubber cap is applied then small strands of hair are pulled through the cap to highlight).  Run for your hair’s life if your colorist attempts to put a frosting cap on your head.  Frosting is an antiquated technique that is a reflection on the salon capabilities.</p> <p>4.  Usually your colorist will move on to another client while your color is being processed.  During this time enjoy reading a magazine, listen to music, zone out or just enjoy a cup of a favorite beverage.  When the timer rings make sure your colorist is near to check your color, or immediately notify an assistant that your time has expired.  Bleach is a potent chemical that will continue to lighten your hair until removed.</p> <p>5.  If your colorist suggests a deep conditioning treatment after your shampoo then spring for the few extra bucks and treat yourself to the treatment.  Deep conditioning treatments not only feel good, most importantly, after highlights it adds back moisture and shine to the hair.</p> <p>6.  Blow drying after coloring is a MUST.  When the hair is wet, or even slightly damp, it is very difficult to see what the finished color will look like.  If your salon charges extra for a blow dry after color, and you already went beyond your budget with the deep conditioning, then there is another solution.  Have your colorist thoroughly blow dry a small section of hair for both the colorist and you to see how the color will look when the hair is completely dry.</p> <p>7.  When leaving the salon, make sure to go home with the appropriate products for color treated hair.</p> <p>Here are a few <span style="color: #ff0000;">SerafinoSays</span> favorite Products for color treated hair.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;field-keywords=kaaral%20purify%20colore%20shampoo&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;tag=isfr34az340b-20&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Kaaral Purify Colore Shampoo &amp;

text-decoration: underline;">on Broadway</span></span></span></a>?  The answer&#8230;Very Excited!  In a New York second we left our hubby&#8217;s in the dust for a girls night out on Broadway!</p> <p style="text-align: left;">We began our evening with a scrumptious dinner at Marseille-NYC.  Over a glass of vino we did lots of catching up on all things &#8220;girl talk.&#8221;  Once our check was paid we started our walk the few blocks over to the theater, but not before our pre-show ritual of stocking up on a package of Twizzlers and bottles of water.</p> <p><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/image.jpg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9654" alt="Kinky Boots On Broadway - Photog: Unkown - SerafinoSays.com" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/image.jpg" width="499" height="334" /></a></p> <p>Since I live in the theater district it makes walking past the ever-changing Broadway marquees unavoidable.  And since the theater district located in the heart of Times Square has become exhaustively congested I find myself less interested in the spectacular sights and sounds of Broadway and far more interested in how to navigate through the waves of people.  As a result I walk by theaters daily and rarely notice what play, musical and actors are coming to Broadway, or on their way out-the-door.  Tourists would categorize me as a &#8220;typical New Yorker, always in rush to get to where they are going,&#8221; but I beg to differ.  I like to think of it as &#8220;maneuvering a challenging labyrinth of tourists packing the sidewalks four-wide while endlessly snapping pictures of the lights on Broadway.&#8221;</p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/new-kinky-boots-hot.jpg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9659" alt="Kinky Boots On Broadway - SerafinoSays.com" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/new-kinky-boots-hot.jpg" width="500" height="246" /></a></strong></p> <p>I mention the above because when Jill handed me my tickets for Kinky Boots on Broadway I have to admit having blindly walked past the theater countless times without ever noticing the marquee.  Jill was kind enough to give me a 30- second download how the play was based on the Miramax motion picture &#8220;Kinky Boots&#8221;, from the book written by Harvey Fierstein, with music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper.</p> <p><strong>Side Note: </strong> I was giddy with excitement upon learning that Cyndi Lauper wrote the music and lyrics.  I worked with Cyndi a few years ago on an album cover and video shoot.  I fondly recall that day as being one of my favorite photo shoots of all time.  Cyndi was delightful and listening to  her belt out  Etta James&#8217; popular tune &#8220;At Last&#8221; was like listening to Etta herself.  Her voice is just that good.</p> <p>Sorry, I digressed!</p> <p><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/cn_image.size_.kinky-boots-broadway.jpg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9665" alt="Kinky Boots On Broadway - Photog: Unkown - SerafinoSays.com" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/cn_image.size_.kinky-boots-broadway.jpg" width="499" height="380" /></a></p> <p>If you are like me and unfamiliar with the book, movie or play then allow me to provide a brief overview; Kinky Boots is a story about a failing shoe factory that reinvents itself as a manufacturer of fetishwear for the cross-dressed gent.  It&#8217;s summed up best when Charlie Price, who is the last hope for the struggling Price &amp; Son shoe company, says &#8220;There must be a niche market for properly built-to-last women&#8217;s boots for women who are men.&#8221;  From this point Kinky Boots had me!  What followed was a perfectly balanced sequence of sharp script and brilliant songs.</p> <p>It made me laugh, it made me cry but most of all it left me feeling a little Kinky in my boots!</p> <p>Oh and for all you Cyndi Lauper fans &#8220;Girls Just Wanna Have Fun&#8221;&#8230;. at least Jill and I did! <img src='http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p><a href="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Sean-Williams.jpg" rel="dofollow"><img class="aligncenter" alt="Kinky Boots On Broadway - Photog: Sean Williams - SerafinoSays.com" src="http://www.serafinosays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Sean-Williams.jpg" width="476" height="536" /></a></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Kinky Boot Credits: (courtsey of the NY Times)</strong></span></p> <p>&#8220;Book by Harvey Fierstein;
