Dear Alice,
On this, the eve of Madonna's birthday, all i want to talk about is reinvention.
We all know that Madonna is the queen of reinvention, but what we all might not know is one tiny change can make a LASTING impression.
A change of hair color, a new clique to hang out with, losing an accent...(ahem)
When a battered wife leaves her husband and dates a younger man...she has reinvented her image.
When a scrawny teenager enters the gym and pumps iron and emerges an Abercrombie model...he has reinvented his image.
When the ugly duckling ditches her glasses for contact lenses and drops 50 pounds...she has now become the beautiful swan. Alice dahling, she has reinvented!!!
Granted those are all physical, and those are the easiest to change. But an aesthetic reinvention, must be accompanied by a mental reinvention.
You can't change the label and keep the same old product. Think a bit differently, act a bit differently. Process things a bit differently. You'd be surprised at how the world looks standing from another angle.
and if it doesn't work out, you can always go back to your old self, but you owe it to yourself to experience new things, new people, new ideas.
Look at Madonna, she's changed more times than a chameleon. Do you remember the Asian years, complete with Red leather Kimono? Or take Queen Latifah, eventually she went from Jersey round-the-way girl, to Jazz crooner and Oscar nominee.
and its not just celebrities, December 31, 2002 an average bloke went to sleep, and on January 1, 2003, The Horsemen incarnate awakened. Suits, ties, watches, shoes, parties...dahling, I was reinvented.
So, go ahead, take that yoga class, get those hair extensions, redecorate that living room, date that younger man, move to that new town, wear that black mini skirt...
you owe it to herself, and I've got your back, and so does Madonna.
Reinvention Tea...now that tastes, oh so good.
Until Next time Alice,
Love,
Teddy

Well I guess I will be heading for some reinvention in the Fall when I get this weave. I can't wait. Sometimes you get tired of looking at the same person in the mirror.
