  ”THE FIGHTER”: Mark Wahlberg shepherded this superb drama through the production process for years, but ironically, he was the only major cast principal not to score an Oscar nomination for the true story of Boston boxer-against-the-odds Micky Ward. Those up for the honors included Christian Bale as Ward’s fighter-turned-trainer half brother, Melissa Leo as their mother and Amy Adams as Ward’s tough-in-her-own-right girlfriend. Director David O. Russell not only draws superb performances from all of them, he also generates an indelible sense of the tale’s setting. DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; audio commentary by Russell. **** (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray)

A few months ago I signed up for a service called Shoe Dazzle.  It’s Kim Kardashian’s company that works kind of like a shoe-of-the-month club.  After taking a short fashion quiz, a virtual showroom is created for you that include both shoes and accessories.  The first week of every month new selections are placed in your showroom and you can decide whether or not to purchase anything or to abstain.  So far, I have yet to abstain.

Ask Tamara: My 15-Year-Old is Sexting!

Rina Risper05 mins

Dear Tamara:

 
I just found out a few days ago that my 15-year-old daughter has been “sexting” on her cell phone with a boy from her school. Up to this point I have never checked my daughter’s phone or gone through her text messages. I just trusted her to be responsible and do the right thing? And although I disagree with her “sexting,” I feel bad that I invaded her privacy. I want to talk to my daughter about her actions, but I don’t want to jeopardize my daughter’s trust and even worse become one of those snooping parents that constantly checks up on her child and only causes her child to become even more secretive.

TNCP Welcomes New Advice Column – Ask Tamara: I Found My Soulmate and It’s Not My Husband!

Rina Risper05 mins

Dear Tamara:

“Do you believe in soulmates and that there is one person that perfectly matches you completely?” I have been married for a few years and I just met a man that I believe is my true soulmate. We have so much in common and I believe we are destined to be together. Though I love my husband, this new man makes me feel alive. And it has nothing to do with sex. We just connect on a different and much deeper level. I don’t know what I should do about this.

Clueless Fashionista: Shopping Tips: Don’t buy or wear items just because they fit

Rina Risper05 mins

 

By  Ashia Sims
 
The other day I found a pair of pants that were from another time in my life.  It was a time when I was a few sizes smaller.  I was curious about them and how they managed to stay in my closet because I am very good at getting rid of clothes that don’t fit or compliment me.  Well I tried the pants on and they fit.  Surprise, Surprise.  Actually let me make a correction here.  The pants didn’t fit in the sense of how I like my clothes to fit but I was able to get them up and on me and even button them.
