Woman Mormon Missionary


Image by More Good Foundation
If you are a young man wondering whether you ought to fulfill a full-time mission, don’t approach that vital decision with your own wisdom alone. Seek the counsel of your parents, your bishop, or stake president. In your prayers ask to have the will of the Lord made known to you. I know that a mission will provide extraordinary blessings for you now and throughout your life. I urge you not to pray to know whether you should go; rather, ask the Lord to guide you in whatever may be necessary to become a worthy, empowered full-time missionary. You will never regret serving a mission, but you most probably will regret not serving if that is your choice.

Approaching from the right


Image by Ed Yourdon
I was across the street when I noticed this woman chatting on her cell phone, and was mostly interested to see if I could take her picture without having it blocked by the cars, buses, and scooters that kept zooming by. I didn’t even notice the woman approaching from the right; but in the next picture, cellphone-woman has disappeared, and rightside-woman has taken her place.

***********************
These photos were taken during a week in Rome, at the beginning of December 2008. I was participating in a computer conference, but had some free time at the beginning and end of the trip; unfortunately, the weather was not very cooperative, and my photography efforts were sometimes interrupted by rain…

Question by Sabastien G: Why do Japanese teenagers and younger women talk at a fake pitch and walk pigeon toed?
I’ve been to Japan twice now and it annoys me that Japanese women always talk with a high-pitch tone(which is not really their voice) and they walk pigeon toed. Is this their pop culture? I was so annoyed at a starbucks in Fukuoka, I had to move!

Manhattan-based Beehives & Buzzcuts announced today the opening of its childrens salon and event space in the Gramercy Park and Stuyvesant Town neighborhood.

The new salon and event space answers an unmet need in an area surging with strollers, schools and the pre-tween set, but sorely lacking in children-focused beauty establishments or spaces to hold birthday parties or attend classes.

Located at 365 First Avenue, between 21st and 22nd streets, Beehives and Buzzcuts is convenient to residents of Gramercy, Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, Murray Hill and the East Village, as well as accessible via major MTA subway and bus lines. The 2,500 square feet is a stroller and handicapped accessible street-level storefront, custom-designed by architectural firm Andrea Mason Design and renovated by contractor SMS Designs to serve a crowd expected to frequently roll and toddle through its front door.

The energetic and aesthetic space is built to appeal to young eyes and bodies, with zippy colors, a huge tree in the welcome area constructed by Daniel Balgley, custom-made kid-height chairs at the manicure stations, bright pink butterfly pedicure thrones and childrens choice of horse, airplane, old-fashioned car, or more grown-up child-sized salon chairs for hair styling, all in front of the right-sized mirrors and individual flat screens for attention-grabbing entertainment in case of haircut trepidation. Moms and Dads can also enjoy a haircut alongside their child in the adult-sized salon chair.

My First Haircut specials are available to those unaccustomed to hair meeting scissor, complete with certificates holding a picture of the new do, signed by the stylist and with a lock of hair affixed to commemorate the event.

Beehives & Buzzcuts also was developed with parents everyday needs in mind: the entrance area showcases a wide assortment of under-$ 30 toys well suited for gift giving, freeing up precious time from traipsing to geographically inconvenient and busy toy or department stores, especially as gift wrapping is available; a large wheel-in closet area will park strollers and outer garments; and a 480-square-foot event space with plenty of room to hold birthday parties for a childs entire class, a prep kitchen, separate bathroom with diaper changing table and flexibility for the upcoming family programming.

Founder Karolyn Massey, a 16-year veteran of corporate finance in advertising, media, and real estate, dreamed up Beehives and Buzzcuts when yearning to open an enterprise offering something needed but fun: I was the girl who got up from the dinner table to braid my sisters hair and have always loved hair and creating beauty. As an aunt with a niece and nephews, and now as a new mom, Id noticed the lack of children-focused beauty salons and easily accessible event spaces nearby for families in the Gramercy, Murray Hill, Stuyvesant Town and East Village area, says Massey. My biggest inspiration was my niece, Corinne. She is a girlie girl who loves pink and princesses and dress up. She loved coming with my sister and me to get our nails done, but she never fit in the chairs. Her feet never reached the water in the pedicure chairs and shed have to sit on her heels to see what the manicurist was doing. I knew if she had a hair/nail salon designed with her in mind that she fit into, shed be in heaven!

Massey is involved in every nuance of Beehives & Buzzcuts, from the materials used in the construction to the nail polish for manicures: She researched and stocked a childrens nail polish designed to be non-toxic, as wee fingers often find their way into tiny mouths for a nibble. Also in the works: programs for Beehives & Buzzcuts and its patrons to involve themselves and their hair in charitable acts.

ABOUT BEEHIVES & BUZZCUTS

Beehives & Buzzcuts opened in 2011 by a NYC mom who felt her neighborhood was lacking in a fun childrens salon and event space for parties and classes, as well as a quick and welcoming place to pick up cute childrens gifts. A veteran of corporate finance in Manhattan, founder Karolyn Massey conceived Beehives & Buzzcuts when seeking to strike out on her own and return to her roots of getting up from the dinner table as a girl to braid her sisters hair.

Then, about two weeks ago, our Granny passed away and I found myself back in S.C. for her burial. One day shortly after, with emotions still at an all-time high, my sister and I decided we would go kayaking where our Granny and Grandpa were born and raised. It would’ve been a great trip, except none of the weather forecasters had predicted the severe thunderstorms that ensued and we quickly found ourselves in need of alternative plans. What better to do than shop, right?

With our trip canceled, we found ourselves riding around Mt. Pleasant with a ridiculously large two-person kayak on our roof and "nothing" to do. I mentioned thinking it would be nice to go back and check out this 1960′s “Endless Summer” type canary yellow station wagon we’d passed the day before, so we headed to the garage where it was parked. After perusing a wide array of vintage vehicles, we made out way to the garage and struck up a conversation with the mechanics. We inquired about some of the vintage vehicles and mentioned we’d found a red 1950’s red pick-up a few months back and asked if they’d ever seen one. They mentioned knowing of both a black and a white 1950′s truck, but no red one. As the conversation neared the ½ hour mark, one of the mechanics remembered he’d seen a red 1950’s pick-up parked at a law firm not far from the shop. As soon as he said this I thought (and my sister claims I said out loud), “That’s it!”.

After getting a few other places / people’s names who might know where to find a 1950’s pick-up, we took our chances and headed to see the truck the mechanic had mentioned seeing "a while back". We had nothing to lose by looking. As soon as we saw the vehicle and drove around the back-end, I knew it was the same one my sister had found three months prior. On the driver’s door window hung a sign advertising a slashed price and a phone number. After taking some photos and checking out the vehicle, my sister rang the listed number. We’d both just assumed the truck belonged to a man, so when a woman answered, she was surprised. After speaking for a few minutes, it became clear the voice at the other end was not going to “hand the phone over” (to a man). So, my sister asked, "Are you the owner?", to which the woman replied, "Yes!".

Needless to say, I think we were all a little surprised. The owner – Christine – explained she’d moved to Charleston from NYC to get into the bakery business and had bought the truck to "pick up men" – yes, that’s why she’d gotten it. At this juncture, my sister looked like she’d seen a ghost. There were several reasons for this "ook". One being, she’d been born in NY and two, her sister (that’d be me) currently lives there. Thirdly, she’d been trying to figure out how to transition out of a career in radio and was thinking of starting a baking business! I’m not kidding. When she asked Christine if owning the truck had indeed helped her meet any men, she said it hadn’t, but that the truck had been rented quite a few times for photo shoots and commercials. Gears in our heads quickly began turning. And Christine was so happy that women were calling about the truck because she specifically wanted to sell the truck to a female. She told us to go into the offices and get the keys to go for a spin.

She’d also mentioned the mechanic who’d worked on the truck was close by and told us where to find his garage. After going in and speaking with a lovely woman who had some problem locating the keys, we went back outside to wait. After a few minutes, the keys arrived and the girl mentioned if we could wait, that the mechanic who’d worked on the vehicle would be coming by to pick both she and her Mum in a few minutes. Huh? Why?!? Because the mechanic was her father! When we heard this, it was like a bolt of lightening had struck. How was it possible the mechanic we’d just been told about and whom we were going to go visit would be coming to us? Things were just getting too weird, so, of course, we waited. It seemed kizmit was taking over at this juncture.

It had been a while since I’d driven a standard, though it’s been my main transmission for the majority of my driving years, so I wasn’t too worried. And, my sister had learned how to drive a standard shift on a tractor on someone’s farm, so between the two of us, we thought we’d be okay. Not long after, the mechanic arrived. If seemed the truck hadn’t been started in a while, so he had to jump-start her and we all piled in. He took us to a nearby car park and we drove around back to an empty area. My sister decided to go first and we all had a really good laugh. Next, it was my turn and after the mechanic properly explained the H-gear pattern, I did an so-so job with the ½ ton, no power steering, no power breaks slant V6 badass – though this isn’t to say it wasn’t nerve-racking as hell! Not only was she extremely difficult to maneuver, but somehow driving her made one’s hands completely black and at some point, we’d all touched our faces and had black marks all over ourselves and our clothing. We looked like Al Jolsen in his black-face – except, in reverse!

After returning to the law firm, we said we’d be back in a few days. We spent a day trying to figure out how we could make getting this truck happen and returned to take (what we’d already named) “Big Red” to a few mechanics shops and restoration experts the following day. Before getting out on crowded main roads, we decided to get some more practice driving the truck and so, after some quick cleaning of the windows and interior, we headed back to that nearby car park.

It’s a good thing my sister had learned to drive on a tractor, because on this particular 97degree afternoon, “Big Red” was akin to driving around in a 1/2 ton tractor. Driving Red was roughly the equivalent to taking part in a triathlon in 105 degree temperatures. Because she’s so hard to drive, on one occasion, I had to grab the giant wheel and help my sister make a turn! Yes, it took two of us and we’re both over 5”10, with plenty of muscle. Oh how I was beginning to appreciate power steering!

Jerking in-and-out-of all three gears, my sister finally stalled Big Red for a second time – sending us to a halting stop. Sweating and dirty, she screamed out in frustration, “Oh my God, I can’t do this! We’re crazy! This is never going to work!”. Searching for the inspirational words an older sibling is supposed to have at the ready, I turned my head and spotted this white big rig parked just beside us and nearly fainted. For, it was a Cardinal line truck with no more than two cardinal emblems – one on the cab and one on the trailer – emblazoned upon it.

You see, our Grandfather, who had died when we were very small was a country boy (related to Swamp Fox – yeah!) and his favorite bird was the cardinal. We know anytime one crosses our paths, to pay close attention. Gasping, I directed her attention right toward the “cardinal spotting” and we both nearly lost it. Tears welled up in both our eyes. My sister then took a deep breath and said, “Did you see the pair of cardinals fly past us as we drove back here?”. I hadn’t and said so, but quickly grabbed my camera to capture the rig carrying the cardinal message from our Gran.

While neither said so, in that moment, I think we both knew we’d buy the 1955 Dodge- even before we took her to get checked out. Can’t go against the elders, right? We offered nearly half the original price and Christine accepted. So, if for any reason, you’re in need of a classic 1955 Dodge pick up truck in fire engine red, you know who to contact!
