The Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-05-18, Page 33Page 8 -Crossroads -May 18, 1983 THE SUPER BEAUTIES By COLETTE BOUCHE2 The 1980s is a wonderful time for fashion because just about every look you can think of is in! From the high chic of designers like Halston and de La Renta to the funky chic of Norma Karnali, no matter what your fashion tastes are, they can be easily satisfied. With this freedom of choice, however, comes one very important respon- sibility ... and that is to know yourself and your fig- MORGAN FAIRCHILD . . There are many styles that completely overpower me' `Nevers' can cancel future By DOROTHY St. JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: 1 am a woman in business, and have many wonderful op- portunities. I have just been asked to travel to a foreign country as-a-repreesentativ sr--- company. Bit 7 could never do anything like that. First, I could never travel that far as a woman alone. I could never gain the con- fidence to take on a new way of life. I could never communicate in a foreign country. I do my best for my company, but I can never be as capable as they think I am. - T.P. Dear T.P.: The word "never" can fill your life full of a lot of empty to- morrows. Of course, the pros and cons of circum- stances (in anything you do) weigh heavily, but never make never so much an automatic part of you that you cross out all effort to try. You are an intelligent woman, seen in the well- developed m's and n's. You are friendly and expres- sive, seen in your free for- ward slant, and you have a finesse with people that can scarcely be equaled, seen in the pronounced ta- pering of your words, espe- cially in m, n, and w. Your written strokes say that you like plenty of change and variety in your life, too. They even say that you like to travel, seen in the long lower loop on y a4 - it returns itself to the baso line of writing. til�liile - persistent worker, seen in the long, strong down - strokes, especially on that y, and the tied connecting strokes on f and s, your problem lies in the weak t crossings. You lack the strength of willpower to overcome obstacles and with your vivid imagina- tion, seen in the size of the lower loops, you have drawn 101 mental pictures of barriers and blocks. This lack of purpose hampers your ability to decide. Why not add up all the pluses and minuses of this offer your company has made to you. Whether you take it or not must be your decision with, perhaps, the direction of someone who has had a similar experi- ence. Your handwriting, how- ever, warns: Regardless of what you do, don't take on the habit of burying your personality positives be- neath a dead sea of never negatives. ure type well enough to find the styles that suit you best. For the glamorous and exciting MORGAN FAIR- CHILD (who practically made "bitchy" a household word with her brilliant portrayal of Constance on "Flamingo Road"), paying strict attention to the kinds of clothes she chooses is a golden rule. "Because I am so pet- ite," says Morgan "I really have to be careful about the clothes I choose be- cause there are many styles that just completely overpower me. "If you are a large woman I know that you can view someone who is petite as having no fashion problems, but this isn't so. Being little can oftentimes be as frustrating as being big in terms of the kinds of limitations you have on your clothing selection." To keep her size 4 figure stylishly clad Morgan finds that avoiding jewelry is a must. "I tend to avoid any heavy, chunky pieces of jewelry, or even just pieces that are 'fussy,' like brace- lets. They make me ner- vous," she confesses, "and they clutter up the look of my outfit. "The best look for a small figure are the classic styles," says Morgan "with -smooth -lines- and - clean ring-elkdonIlhildrz- Should jazz up ifie Tool with a lot of accessories. "A tall girl can carry those great big belts and lots of scarves or bows, but a small figure gets lost if the look is too ornate." Morgan also .suggests that the small figure stay away from flamboyant prints and loud designs if you are going to make your size really work for you and not against you. "I stick to small dainty prints mostly," she says, "and I do find solid colors work the best. Other than yellow, which brings out the yellow in my skin, I wear all the colors blondes are not supposed to be able to carry, like pastels as well as the vivid colors. In that regard, I have always ignored the prescribed do's and don'ts, and concentrat- ed on what I felt good in." Strangely enough Mor- gan's advice for petite fig- ures holds equally true for larger sizes as well. Too much of anything (jewelry, scarves, belts, bold prints, etc.) will overwhelm you, whether small or large in size. If you're small you get lost, and if you're large these items will emphasize your weight. "I think it's important, regardless of your size, to look for the clothes that suit you best not only in terms of your figure but in terms of your personality and your lifestyle," says Morgan. 'Finding things that you feel comfortable in is as important as find- ing things you look good in. "And, you can't choose your wardrobe based on what looks good on some- one else," she continues, "because no two figures areexactly alike even if they are the same size. "I guess the key to ,look- ing your best," she con- cludes "is to dominate the image. you create with your clothes and not the other way around. You are wearing the clothes, they aren't wearing you. I never want to be the kind of woman who walks into a room and is noticed for her dress and not for herself." SUPER BEAUTY HINT Whether you are tall or short, fat or skinny, there's one thing anyone can do to improve their looks ... and that is to stay on a pro- gram of sensible eating. and sensible exercise. And this is precisely the philos- ophy that made Elaine Powers the "First Woman of Fitness!" With the hun- dreds of salons all across the country, they put that philosophy to daily use as specialized programs teach women of all ages, shapes and sizes how to look and feel better than they ever thought possible. Long heralded as one of the forerunners in estab- lishing new and exciting stay -in -shape programs, Elaine has done it again! The new sensation is called POWERCISE and it was developed in conjunction with fitness expert Joanie Greggains, the director of fitness for the salon chain taught exclusively at the 33 volumes written by Prussian ruler Frederick the great of Prussia (1712-86), despised by his father as effeminate, became one of the greatest military geniuses of all time. A benevolent despot, he pro- moted important legal and social reforms. His writings, mostly in French, are collected in 33 volumes. He despised Ger- man cultural aspirations, championed religious toler- ance but disliked all relig- ions, composed passable flute concertos and other MIMIC and wrote mediocre poetry. isque Piano Baby By JAMES G.

"Although good for the heart and lungs, aerobics alone doesn't reduce inches from a woman's problem areas like hips and tummy," Greggains ex- plained. "Powercise does all the things a woman needs to stay fit and look good."

In addition, as a member of the Elaine Powers Fig- ure Salons you automati- cally reap the benefits of trained (and very compas- sionate!) service consul- tants who help you plan a weight loss program that suits your needs and your lifestyle.

Corn is a hungry feeder and beans supply the nitro- gen for its growth. Beans plus corn equals a complete meal. Squash meat gives carbohydrate and the seeds provide protein. The Indians have cultivat- ed corn for 7,000 years and developed varieties of vege- tables for every sort of cli- mate from Guatemala to the lower St. Slawrence River, including the six types of corn known to man - pop- corn, sweet, flour, flint, dent and pod.
