Looking through the lens behind the camera. Capturing nanoseconds and tidbits of life. Savoring captured memories in time. Focusing my eyes away from the camera I realize, I am 20 pictures behind… Real life (also known as the big picture), is what I lose focus on while trying to capture a picture perfect moment in time.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

Bald Girls Do Lunch or “BGDL” is a wonderful non profit organization specifically created for women with Alopecia Areata- the autoimmune skin disease which stops the normal growth of hair on the scalp, brows, lashes and body. (I, too have had Alopecia and it was frightening mainly because there wasn’t much information about Alopecia), which is why I am thrilled that Bald Girls Do Lunch is increasing awareness in our communities as well as providing rich information to those that need it.

The following is a message from Thea Chassin, the founder of Bald Girls Do Lunch:

Calling all Lipstick Jungle fans!  Want to save the show?  YOU CAN!  All of you need to tell everyone – WATCH IT LIVE!  Do not Tivo/DVR it – watch it live!  Only two more episode’s left!!

Nearly a month after the news first broke that the series may be a goner, scores of you fans are still emailing in—daily—to ask about the show’s fate.

Well, E! just checked in with highly placed sources who work on the show, not to mention the fabulous Brooke Shields herself, and there is some good news…

“We’re still going,” Brooke tells us. “We’re still airing, we’re still on at 9 on Friday. I know that they’ve kept the sets up, and in all senses of the word, we’re still going.”

And according to a high-placed source who works on Lipstick: “I know that they have addressed the back nine…just as far as having Oliver Goldstick, our show runner, start to flesh those episodes out. So there is a game plan for our back nine.”

NBC insiders say that a decision on Lipstick’s fate will come soon, and naturally, will depend on how the ratings are swinging. The season started off with about 5 million viewers, then hovered around 3.5 million for a few weeks, but it has bounced back somewhat in the most recent airing (Dec. 12) with 3.8 million viewers.

A well-placed source close to the decision tells us LJ needs to pull in about a million more viewers during the final two episodes to be considered for reneweal.

Brooke tells us: “I think our biggest problem is that on DVR and TiVo, we’ve got such huge numbers, but then in the live [ratings], I guess advertisers aren’t happy with that that. So they have to figure out how to reconcile that.”

There currently are two more episodes left of Lipstick Jungle: Jan. 2 and Jan. 9 on NBC.

So you know what that means: Only two chances left to try and make a mark on the ratings by telling your friends, colleagues and your mailman to watch.

And you should also know that Brooke and the rest and the cast and crew are most assuredly touched by the fantastic support that has been shown so far.

“The amount of lipstick tubes that have come to the set—they have literally been coming in blocks,” Brooke says. “I was amazed by the outcry when they thought we were canceled. They started sending out lipsticks, so it’s out there, we have the audience. It’s just people have to watch it live, and then watch it on TiVo.”

You can send your letters of support and/or lipstick to:
