Lip Gloss Favorites

The Imagine Test Panel sampled 35 brands of lipgloss! Thank you to all the companies that submitted glosses! We appreciate your generosity and had a blast trying them all.

Wife Swap Seeking Image Consultants

This Just Came In from ABC. If you apply, would you tell them you found the info here? Thanks and Great Luck! Here's the request from Wife Swap (in their words).

WIFE SWAP, ABC'S HIT PRIMETIME SHOW, SEEKING SUPERSTAR BEAUTIFUL FAMILIES!

Do you believe that a person's first impression is their only impression? Do you make your living by being an image consultant? Is how you look and present yourself the most important thing in your life? Then I want to talk to you!!!! ABC's Hit Show Wife Swap is now casting Image Consultants to swap famalies!

The premise of Wife Swap is that one parent from each household swaps places for a week to experience how another family lives. It's an experience for the whole family and opportunity to both learn and teach different family values.

Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two couples see themselves and their partners in a whole new light. The New York Post says, "It should be called 'Life Swap' because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families."
Potential families can live anywhere in the continental United States, but we ask that families applying for the show consist of two parents and have at least one child, age 7 or older, living at home.

To submit for the show please email a family photo and description to: gaby.wifeswap@gmail.com.

All families featured on the show receive a financial honorarium upon the airing of their episode!
Those who refer a family receive a referral fee. If you are a family unit (two parents and children between the ages of 7 and 17) who love an adventure, I would love to hear from you today! Also, please feel free to send this casting along to any families you feel would be appropriate! More information is available at: http://abc.go.com/primetime/wifeswap.
