Keeping the promise to his kids…Chuck let Charlie & Theresa shave his head BALD!! And then they painted it. WOWZA!! Check out the pics…

Hey! It’s Woo Woo. So I was at the hair salon this morning (getting the blonde put back in my hair!) and I was reading O Magazine. You know – Oprah Winfrey’s magazine. It was filled with awesome tidbits about Spring Fashion, the new beauty “Must Haves” and then there were over a dozen articles about love, marriage & relationships. This 1 article stuck out like a sore thumb because, the couple is MARRIED but live in separate houses. No – not separate cities. Same city – different house. Don’t believe me? CLICK HERE to read the article.

Chuck thought the jeans are wore to work today were not “appropriate”! HA! I totally dis-agree Chuck. These jeans are cute, comfy & TRENDY! They are all the rage in LA. I love these jeans…rips, bleach stains & holes included! They are called “Current/Elliot”. Here’s some pics of my jeans:

Here are 15 things that are never a good idea:

1. Underwear as outerwear. Camisoles or visible bra straps and lingerie scream “eek!” not “chic!”

2. Workout gear. Save your muscle shirts and spandex for the gym.

3. Soiled, stained or rumpled clothing. Neatness counts. Better to wear less expensive clothing that is immaculately cleaned and pressed than to sport designer grunge.

4. Shorts. Whether of the Bermuda or Daisy Duke variety, wearing shorts to work is just plain wrong.

5. Tattoos. Celebrities like Angelina Jolie have made tattoos seem almost mainstream, but many people are still put off by them. Best to keep yours under wraps or disguised with a heavy spray-on makeup made expressly to conceal tattoos.

6. Extreme hair color. Natural looking highlights are fine, but never dye your hair blue, magenta or other colors not found in nature.

7. Too much cologne. A strong scent is a turnoff to most people. Best to forgo fragrance and opt for the clean smell of soap.  

8. Long, fake or wild-colored nails. Keep your nails short and neat. Avoid nail decals, black polish or “Elvira” length nails.

9. Grungy beards. In general, most companies prefer clean-shaven men to, say, ZZ Top. If you just can’t part with your facial hair, at least keep it neatly trimmed. (And for gosh-sakes check in the mirror after eating that powder-sugared doughnut!)

10. Micro-miniskirts. Make sure there is no more than three or four inches between knee and hem. You want to be able to sit without giving a peep show.

11. Overly revealing attire. Too little is too much. Breasts, back and arms should be covered. Avoid overly snug fits by making sure there is at least one inch of room between body and fabric.

12. Athletic socks with street shoes. Men, the devil’s in the details. People notice these things!

13. Body piercings. Studies show that most people view body jewelry as unprofessional and that people with multiple piercings are less likely to be hired or promoted.

14. Bare midriff. Make sure there is at least one inch of room between body and fabric and that your shirt is long enough to conceal your midriff. Let your clothes show off your good taste — not your six-pack abs.

15. Low-rise pants. “Plumber’s crack” is not acceptable anywhere. Period. Finally, as a rule of thumb: If you have any doubt whether something you have on is appropriate — go back and change.

Sadie is not an actress. And no – it’s not the Oscars. Not yet. That’s in 3 weeks though…EEEK!

Sadie is the cutest little dog ever – well, 2nd to my Murphy – and last night she won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in NYC. Sadie is a Scottish Terrier, and the #1 Ranked dog in the World. WOW!

CLICK HERE for pics of the other dogs in the dog show.

PS – Whenever I hear talk of dog shows, I can’t help but think of that hysterical movie “Best in Show”. If you haven’t seen it, it is a MUST watch. Pick it up at Blockbuster, Red Box or Netflix it. But def watch it!

Thanks to all who came today! Here’s pics from our Open House.

Yep – were serious! Since just about every school in Hampton Roads is closed tomorrow (Tuesday), Chuck & I decided to invite everybody to the radio station. We’re serious! You can bring the kids, grandma, your neighbor’s kids, etc. We will start the tours at 2:15pm…so get here by 2pm. Or whenever. Really – it’s come one come all! We want to “educate” the kids since they won’t be in school. Here’s our address:

236 Clearfield Avenue Virginia Beach, VA 23462

We are a 1 story gray building – with 4 radio station signs on the front.

Bring your cameras & a smile – let’s have some fun while the kids are out of school. But please drive safe – and drive with caution. Roads are slick!!!

See you tomorrow!

Chuck & WooWoo
