Who would have dreamed we'd ever create such “beings”? Chances are if they're your own children, you don't even know them anymore THEY HAVE CHANGED! Sound familiar? Well of course they're changing! Unfortunately, many of us have forgotten what it was like to be a teenager. Complete black- out! Have you ever wondered why we erase such a “signifi- cant” period of our lives from memory? Oh, we don't omit everything, after all, there were the GOOD times too. And we ALWAYS remember those. Why is it we “conveniently” forget the frustration as a teenager of being treated like an “alien” or like we had some kind of disease. The feeling of futility deep in your gut every time you attempted to express YOUR view, and were labeled “too young to know” The agony of indecision. Many an intuitive soul is “lost” during these years simply because they are misunderstood. These are crucial years for building self- esteem and too often teenagers get “shot down” Well, I for one remember EXACTLY what it was like, although I've had to “drag” the recesses of my memory a little Those darn EMOTIONS! And being “at home" was so BOR- ING. No one “understood” me at all, except my DOG of course And, SCHOOL! Boy, I thought my life was in reverse during grade twelve. Yes, those are the years to crave that precious inde- pendence, while still needing direction. But why can't parents just be there when I ask, why do they have to INTERFERE in everything? Why don't they TRUST me? Dating! Are there any of us out there who didn't find this to be a life threatening, traumatic experience? Admit it, it was HORRIBLE, right? Unless of course you happen to look like Mel Gibson or Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, those were the worst. They Remembering a more turbulent time in life were always my best friends too, Don't get-me wrong, I had no resentments but not one of the male species ever looked at ME except to ask for advice on how to “score” with my friend. OOH! I hated that. And my girlfriend, bless her soul, would try to “steer” out of my way, but these guys were really sick. Reject them, and they wanted more! We girls weren't like that, we had some pride, after all, (or was that vanity?). And it's sure a good thing we grow out of these ill- nesses isn't it? Speaking of vanity, it is true that both sexes (there is still only two, isn’t there?) are infected with the little “bug”. I combed my hair SO often, I'm amazed it didn’t fall out, roots and all. I had a love/hate relationship with the full length mirror. (I still do, but with REASON now). I did not own a brassiere — thank heavens for jobs that required I wear them — or “‘let it all hang down” would be a daily occur- rence, (Remember, this was back in the good OLD days). My partner in life tells me it was tougher on the guys. True, maybe they DID fuss just as long in front of the mirror (could've fooled ME though) but us girls had to make ALL the “heavy” decisions. And what about the guys who smothered us in end- less flattery, then just when it got interesting — in walks'MARI- LYN. So much for THAT. There are many MARI- LYNS out there but let's face it, not matter how much we like to blame the male species for “exploiting” us, if we were totally secure within our own sexuality , would we harbour such resentments towards men? It’s certainly food for thought Envy, jealousy, even the fairest of us suffer these “bugs” in our personalities. As I look back, I realize just how motivated I was by peer pres- sure. I am now confident, feel- ing good, and more days than not I “love” the mirror. No darn it, I'm not perfect but I wouldn't want Marilyn's woes anyway. To all you teenagers out there, just be yourselves and believe in YOU. Follow your heart and gut feelings, have faith that all will be OK. It works every time Achieving the look that reflects the season Christmas is just around the corner and so are the parties and social functions which goes along with it Some of those parties are right after work. You don't want to go out dressed in clothes you've been weafing all day, but you don't have the time to change Here are a few suggestions that might be of some help. Let's say you're wearihg a black pant suit with a white blouse and flats. Simple jewelery and your hair is straight. Change your blouse and put on a camisole. Your choice of colour. Take off your flats and put on a pair of patent black leather high- heeled shoes, or simple black Dad, Dustin & Joel Happy Anniversary Happy Sth Birthda Ashley Kabanoff - Colleen Mark Tind! - love LUNCH COMBO - SINGLE BURGER WITH CHEESE. MEDIUM POP & FRIES i Roadside BASSISTANCE high-heeled shoes. If you're not a hair affecionato, just put your head down, spray a bit of hair- spray on and use your blowdryer. Flip your hair and pat it down if it's too fluffy. Then all you have to do is add some gold jewelery. Nothing too small or thin. Big jewelery. Intensify your makeup by adding more eye shadow, eye- liner and mascara. Apply a light dusting of blush, not too much. For your lips, a red lipstick or red-based lipstick is the way to go for that glamorous look. Remember that for makeup this season the emphasis is on the eyes and mouth, not the cheeks. If you're one of those daring extroverts ready to shock, instead of wearing a camisole under the jacket, you could wear a lacy black brazier and pearls instead of gold jewelery. And your hair could be slicked back and tied into a bun for that A Touch of Fashion European femme fatale look. Instead of wearing pants you could wear a skirt an inch or two above the knee. Do you sometimes wear a knit outfit to work? You don’t know how lucky you are. Knits are light weight and don’t wrinkle After wearing a knit outfit all day, it looks just as good in the evening as it did in the morning when you put it on. I've always found that gold or silver jewelry went best with knits. You can put barrettes in your hair or simply tie it into a french roll or bun. High heeled-shoes or flats also work well depending on the look you want to achieve. There are a multitude of things you can do to achieve the look you want. You don’t need any expertise with hair or makeup. You know yourself better than anyone and you know what looks good on you. And I know that each and everyone of you has an imagi- nation. So don't worry, you don't have go farther than your home to look wonderful Clothes encounters of the clean kind Some or all of the phosphates in some detergents have been replaced by enzymes. Enzymes biodegrade easily in our environ- they often contain small particles of plastic (to make them slippery and silky) as well as other chemi- cals. A better choice is to add a ment but they can cause p for hyper-allergic people or for asthmatics, so it is a good idea to avoid enzymes for these people Hyper-sensitive individuals should avoid the powdered deter- gents and use liquids to avoid breathing the fine dust of pow- dered detergents. Spray and wash: 2 tablespoons of household ammonia 1 tsp. liquid soap or detergent, 1 pint of warm water. Mix well, store in a spray bot- tle.
