You don't have to be a Turkey!

Have you ever been called a turkey?  When I was growing up that usually meant you were goofy, ditzy or a dummy.  As I’ve grown older, however, I’ve found that there is a distinct physical resemblance between some humans and turkeys, which I refer to as SNS…

Saggy Neck Syndrome

I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve watched a woman walk the red carpet (for example) wearing a gorgeous dress with a fabulous hairdo looking absolutely stunning…stunning that is until they pan in for a close up and you get a gander at her saggy, wrinkled neck.  No matter how beautifully put together you are, if your neck is a saggin’ then your appearance is a draggin’.

So, if you’re dealing with SNS, or know someone who is, I’ve found several solutions for dealing with a turkey neck:

A surgical neck lift.   Several years ago as my neck began to drift slowly toward the floor, I toyed with the idea of neck surgery until a friend of mine had it done and tearfully shared her post-op horror story with me.  If you are contemplating this surgery then I urge you to do some research first.  I discovered a review (click here) gives you a hint at what you may be in for, and while not every face or neck lift ends up in a lawsuit, you should always weigh the pros and cons before going under the knife.

Cosmeresearch.  You’ll probably laugh when you first view this neck lift product, but give it a chance before throwing it out the window, because it actually works!  With this tiny little apparatus, you get an instant face and neck lift in minutes (no expensive creams or lotions) and all for under $50.  Click on the brunette pic below and get ready to be amazed at the transformation.

High Neck Fashion.  With a neck that began screaming, ‘Hide me!, I started doing research on line hoping to find clothing that was attractive, yet offered ‘turkey’ coverage.  What I discovered was that unless I was ready to walk down the aisle and ruin my life for the third time, or pack up and move to the Artic, the only high-necked fashion pieces I could find were bridal dresses and turtle neck sweaters.

A very wise man once told me that one of the secrets to success is to ‘find a need and meet it’, so while I can’t perform a facelift (actually, I did pierce my best friend’s ears in high school with a potato and a very large needle, so I might be willing to take a stab at it), but what I can do is offer you an exciting assortment of high neck dresses and swimwear that I’ve designed to make you feel beautiful and sexy, all the while hiding areas such as the neck, upper arms and tummy that don’t always withstand the test of time.

It’s my goal to continue to create exciting clothing for women of all ages, but especially for women in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s so that when the time comes and you’re sitting around the Thanksgiving table, you can proudly hold your head up high and smile self-confidently knowing there will only be one turkey at the table.
