Comment on Michael Jackson: Inner Beauty Lost by Griselle

You took the words out of my mouth. BRILLINT post but I also want to point out that MJ had Vitiligo and Lupus which contributed to his ghostly look, however, I will never understand why he went to such great lenghts to change his Beautiful African American features. This is what keeps me puzzled. I do believe he had Bosy Dismorphic disorder. I also agree with Sam that the LOATHSOME MEDIA is being HYGHLY hypcritcal. These are the very same people that gav him the despicable nickname of “wako jacko”. I felt sorry for him after the 1980s. What was he trying to desperately to escape? Why could he not see that he was Great just the way he was? why could he not love himself more? So many questions and no answers. I just hope that in death he finds the peace that eluded him in life.

Comment on Those Are Some Sexy Genes You’re Wearing… by Dan Levito

The question about DNA Dating that bothers me most is what happens to my genetically identity at the end of the day - especially when we are talking about such a dubious company like Genepartner.

There are a few things fishy about Genepartner:
- The so called “Swiss Institute for Behavioural Genetics” (www.sibeg.org) – where Genepartner’s research studies are supposed to be done – belongs to the former Marketing Manager of Genepartner Michael von Arx (e.g. check http://www.sibeg.org at http://whois.domaintools.com)?! However, if you google the institute it hardly doesn’t exist besides Geneparnter related sites. Moreover, Websheep (www.websheep.com), the company that programmed Genepartner’s website also programmed sibeg.

- Another thing that makes me suspicious: Nobody ever saw any data of Genepartner’s research studies (Check TimesOnline article from May 24, 2009, http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article6320458.ece?print=yes&randnum=1243339272285).

So, why should we hand our genetically identity out to such a dubious company?!

Care for skin should not only be done with skin care products. You want to care for skin by making sure that you eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Getting exercise on a regular basis and plenty of rest will also help in your quest for healthy skin. You just have to remember that it is imperative that you are committed to a skin care treatment because you won

Everyone is going to get older; this is just a fact of life that people all over need to deal with. As you get older you will start to get wrinkles and fine lines no matter what. You have to take care of your skin if you want to avoid wrinkles.

The passing of micheal jackson left me with parallel sentiments that you have clearly expressed in this article. I appreicate your point of view.

As a child i always felt that if my looks were praised by others i wouldnt of had such low self esteem so i honestly can not fathom the exent in which michal’s view of himself was depleted. Here he was a young man who was blessed with a talent and the ability to express himself as he was, without the harsh criticism of fans or onlookers, but he still found the need to destroy what did not need to be corrected, his natural born features.

I am puzzled, but mostly i weep for Mr. Jackson. I feel the world is being quite hipocritical and quite selfish in their mourning of his death. I am constanly hearing “We Miss Michael” and “We Loved Michael,” but within the past few years of his life I hadnt encountered that same type of appreciation for him, but questioning/disapproval of his actions and disreguard for his accomplishments.

All for Now,
Sam

Its all in the eye of the beholder dear, I always thought Clay Aiken was adorable and his fans did as well. Gay or straight, he is a doll.

Comment on Why Are We Still Spending on Beauty? by Jennifer

Here’s something to think about too – purchase skincare products directly from the manufacturer to help lower your health care spending during this recession period. One NY-based healthcare manufacturer, Geritrex, produces many generic comparables and generic equivalents of brand name skincare items. Their offerings are just as effective as name brand counterparts – such as Cetaphil®, Lac-Hydrin®, Alpha Keri® Moisture Rich Oil, Eucerin®, Aquaphor® and Lubriderm® - but are sold for a fraction for a price. Check out their Web site for more information – http://www.geritrex.com.
