Sudzz in the Hairshop

My new “month in the Bahamas” blonde-streaked hair has a decidedly “long hard summer drought in Oklahoma” straw feel. Ew. Naturally, I did what I do in times of desperation — I ran to trusted friend and hair pro Renee Seamount of Renee’s Hair Shop, and asked her for a recommendation. She quickly

Dads, grads and bags In the past, the Significant One and I have argued over the whole Father’s/Mother’s Day gift process, with him having told me, “You’re not my mother, therefore I don’t buy you a mother’s day gift, and I’m not your father, so you don’t buy me a gift.” To

Through March 2: "Wish You Were Here"

Through Feb. 5: "Almost, Maine"

I've never felt such contradictory reactions to a play as I did to Almost, Maine at Olympia Little Theatre. It's an anthology set in a fictional settlement on a cold winter's night, and I both loved and despised it. Depending on where you sit, it might be the best date

Old school

Funny thing happened along the way. Thanks to the evolution of popular music, a whole generation of current rockers became dated faster than at any previous point in history. These days, if it doesn't include a Pitbull sample, a Casio keyboard line or even the remote chance of "going viral,"

Dedicating her life to the Army

When LaQuita Moore joined the Army, she didn't know she'd be serving for life - first as a Soldier and now as an Army wife. "I may not have the same mission as my husband, but I serve, too," Moore said. "Wives have to support their Soldiers and be the backbone
