Hey readers, thanks for being such expert commentators. Your thoughts on Emma Stone's new color, the art of hand modeling, and the decline of African-American salons were most entertaining. Check out what you had to say this week. Emma Stone's shocking return to her blond roots got mixed reviews: "I definitely prefer red. Maybe partly because now people will stop telling me I look like her, but Read more
Hand model Ellen Sirot has long been a huge name in the commercial modeling business. So when Sunday Morning interviewed her, it was bound to be interesting. What I didn't expect, however, were posing lessons where Ellen teaches her interviewer how to make her hands "seductively snake-like" and admits that she views her hands as "elite athletes." Check out the video below for a peek into a Read more
Reflexology is a natural, alternative treatment that involves applying pressure and massage techniques to parts of the body (most often the feet and sometimes the hands). Not only does this type of therapy relieve stress, it also helps to boost circulation and improve body functions. (Psst: SJP is a fan.) In reflexology, specific parts of the feet or hands are massaged to correspond with Read more
We've shared snippets of our own Halloween-themed edible body parts, but Not Martha has us eating out of her hand with her latest creation. She's just fashioned a meat hand, made of meatloaf, smothered in ketchup, topped with cheese, and finished off with nails and wrist bone made of onion. It's served on a bed of brain matter. In my opinion, the result is eerie, yet not too gruesome to eat. Read more
Ah, a day in the life of a hand model. It's all about no cooking, no cleaning, or performing excessive actions in an effort to protect the hands. Or, in certain cases, it's all about standing in when the actress's hands aren't available. Doesn't sound too bad, does it? While, yes, it's true that these "parts models," as they're known as in the biz, take extra precautions to keep their hands Read more
Whether you're paranoid or not about your less-than-perfect pedicure or even manicure, for that matter, keep Milla Jovovich in mind. The multitalented model and actress never seems to have a bad hair, makeup, or anything else kind of day. But with all of the punching, gun-toting, and sword-carrying she's done in many of her action-packed films, her hands have taken a beating. As a result, Read more
There's an old saying that no matter how young your face looks, your hands will give your age away. Concerned about your hands not looking their best? Keep hydrated, wear sunscreen, and rely on antiaging creams to keep them looking supple, like Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Age Shield Hand Cream ($6.70), which has an SPF of 30; Sally Hansen Age Correct Retinol Hand Creme ($6.50), formulated with Read more
Do You Use Your Hands as Cooking Tools? Yes. Hands are a home cook's cheapest tool. No. I prefer to use tongs or other kitchen equipment. It depends on what I'm making. Read more
When running, most of us concentrate on our feet, breathing, moving forward, or just not slowing down and walking. On your next run, I ask you to consider your hands, since we all carry a lot of unnecessary tension in our forearms. When running, your hands should be relaxed, or rather cupped into a soft (with the emphasis on soft ) fist. When you hold a tight fist, you tense your forearm, and Read more
Have you ever been driving on a road slick with ice or rain and noticed that your had a death grip on the steering wheel with white knuckles and tense shoulders? That death grip doesn't translate into more control over the car. Same goes for how you use your hands when working out. You don't need to grip the weights as if you were trying to squeeze the life out of the dumbbell or hold the handles Read more
