Biker Chicks
Imagine that the Super Bowl was being played in Japan next year or that the World Series was being hosted by Ireland. Imagine that a major sporting event was being temporarily transplanted to another country, and imagine all the planning, all the work, all the details that would need to be managed to pull off such an event. Now, imagine that the whole production was being organized by three women from a company in Doylestown. That’s essentially what’s happening. Robin Morton, Alice Armstrong, and Kristen Reiss are the three women of g4 Productions, a company that specializes in planning participatory sporting ...
Dragon Slayers
It is one of those near-perfect nights in late spring, when daylight stretches into evening. On the grassy slope along the riverbank, a group of women gather. They buckle themselves into red life vests, grab their paddles, clamber into the boat, and spend a few minutes debating whether or not to take their sunglasses for the waning sunlight.

And, Asian cultures have long considered feet a symbol of beauty and health, practicing... [Read more of this review]
Tanning Solutions
At the nail salon the other night, a friend asked me what would be the fastest way to lose five pounds. My response? Get a spray tan. With a confused look, she asked why a tan would help her look slimmer. I explained to her quite simply that dark colors recede and make the eye perceive things as smaller. Plus, that pasty, post-winter skin color... [Read more of this review]
Dear Lips, I’m here to plump you up.
“I guess what people want is to make their lips fuller, right?” That was my question to Susan Pilate of The Skin Studio in Yardley as part of my research for this article.
