Brad Pitt Grows Goatee Again

Brad Pitt appears to be growing his facial hair again. In July he showed off a full moustache, a beard and a bit of a soul patch.  Will he stick with the beard or is he going to revert back to his previous goatee?

In the past the handsome actor and long time life partner of Angelina Jolie caught lots of criticism for growing a ghastly goatee.

At one point in the recent past Brad debuted a horrendous misshapen goatee which was approximately 4 full inches when he appeared at the Invictus movie premiere in Los Angeles in December of 2009.

Male facial hair experts weighed in on his various goatees which they decided was intentionally being showcased in an un-groomed fashion.  Even worse was the fact that Brad’s beard was showing a lots of gray, not a good look for the superstar.

Barbers pointed out that Brad should always cover his gray goatee hairs so that his facial hair would look more polished, natural and well-groomed.  It was also suggested that his goatee be shaped along traditional goatee lines and trimming the excessive length.

Kirstie Alley lost a ton of weight on last season’s Dancing With The Stars.  Indeed, dancing is a great form of exercise.

If you want to blast fat, flatter your figure, get into some sick shape, or just add some fun to your exercise routine consider the following dance style options:

1.  Jazz – This is a great option if you want to blast off those last five pounds.  Jazz is a great calorie burner because you’re constantly kicking and pivoting.  In fact, jazz burns a lot more calories than many other forms of dance.  Jazz also involves a lot of strutting so you will be prepared to do the cat walk, which is a popular jazz dancing technique.

Prior to dancing, jazz dancers typically perform exercises in order to warm up and stretch muscles so as to prevent injuries. In addition, core strengthening exercises are often used for conditioning.

2.  Ballet – Ballet, whether traditional or contemporary which combines classical ballet and modern dance,  is a great way to get a longer, leaner body look. Since it’s a weight-bearing movement you’ve got to tighten your core to maintain balance.

It takes its technique and body control using abdominal strength from classical ballet, although it permits a greater range of movement that may not adhere to the strict body lines or turnout set forth by schools of ballet technique.  Ballet also provides a heightened sense of gracefulness and elegance.  And yes, it burns calories.

3.  Hip Hop – Besides burning calories this popular form of dance helps define your muscles.  This type of dancing includes lightening quick jumping and gyrating.  Your abs get cut because of all the bumping and grinding which flows from your stomach area.

4.  Belly Dancing – Shakira made this type of dancing very popular.  Just look at her whittled waist and her killer body and you will understand why.  Most of the movements in belly dancing involve isolating different parts of the body (hips, shoulders, chest, stomach etc.), which appear similar to the isolations used in jazz and ballet, but are often driven differently.

In much of belly dance there is a focus upon the core muscles of the body producing the movement rather than the external muscles of the body.  The side-to-side movements in belly dancing help to define and shape your waist.  Belly dancing also provides a heightened awareness of your body.

5.  Irish Dancing – This type of traditional dancing originated in Ireland became very popular in 1994 in the world-famous Riverdance show.  This type of dancing burns lots of calories because of it’s rapid leg and foot movement.  The body and arms are kept stationary.  This is a great type of workout for the legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

The other distinguishing feature of this type of dancing is that feet are flat on the floor dancing with a sliding /gliding style. Each part of the set dance (figure) is danced to a music tempo, mostly reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes and slides.  For a major workout take up Irish or similar style dancing.

Six Basic Lip Styles Guarantee Gorgeous Lip Jobs

Dr. Robert Gordon, a.k.a. Dr. Lips, has created the world’s first and only template for lip classification and augmentation.

As an experienced cosmetic dentist armed with specialized knowledge of the mouth and its surrounding areas, Dr. Gordon is on a mission to make botched lip jobs a thing of the past.

With the introduction of Dr. Gordon’s six lip styles, patients are kissing their plastic surgeons goodbye and anxiously seeking out doctors trained to Dr. Gordon’s specifications of lip classification and augmentation.

Vermillion Dollar Lips

Dr. Gordon’s organization, Vermillion Dollar Lips (VDL), provides quality training to physicians looking to provide their patients with lip and perioral augmentation using his classification system.

The template reveals the six basic lip styles, all of which are extremely area specific and exclusive to VDL trained doctors only.  Patients can choose from the Classic, Rubina, Cupid, Pearlique, Hollywood, and Angelic looks.

“Oftentimes physicians are over-injecting the lips,” explains Dr. Gordon.  “They inject an equal amount in the bottom and top lip and hope for the best.”

Dr. Gordon said “This is why we see so many botched procedures.  My classification system actually gives patients the look they desire by working with the individual’s needs, and providing a very detailed and exact augmentation of the lips.”

The Classic Lip Style

The lip styles range from the more modest mouth to a bolder pout.  The Classic is the most subtle – perfect for women who have lost volume as a result of aging.

The Rubina is a slightly fuller pout that can only be placed on a woman whose face shape matches the criteria.  For ladies looking for a more youthful kisser, the Cupid style is their match.

The Pearlique, Hollywood And Angelic

Finally, the Pearlique, Hollywood and Angelic styles are best for those who desire a fuller set of lips.

“I noticed a definitive void in the medical arena pertaining to lips and perioral aesthetics,” says Dr. Gordon.  “I used my experience in both art and science to create a classification system that would fill that void and allow women to reach their full aesthetic potential.”

Whether seeking a simple restoration of lost volume or chasing that Hollywood starlet’s pucker, women all over are seeking out VDL certified physicians for tips on their lips and are leaving with a smile.

As the first and only template for breathtaking lips, Dr. Gordon’s classification system is making botched lip jobs history.

About Dr. Lips

Dr. Robert Gordon, a.k.a. Dr. Lips, has revolutionized the cosmetic dental industry.  As the founder of Vermilion Dollar Lips, Dr. Gordon’s intense passion for lip and perioral augmentation has landed him at the forefront of his field, earning him the name, “Dr. Lips.”

Dr. Gordon is the world’s first doctor to create a standard template for lip classification,  and proclaims that not all lips are created equal.   For more information on Dr. Lips please visit www.robertgordondds.com or learn about Vermilion Dollar Lips, please visit www.yourvdl.com.
