Can I just say how much I love Bret Michaels!?!? I have to be honest, though. Before The Celebrity Apprentice aired, I had never even heard of Bret Michaels. My friends watched Rock of Love and would talk about how gorgeous they thought he was, but I didn’t know one thing about him.
I started watching The Celebrity Apprentice and quickly fell in love with Bret! His long, shiny blonde hair and his piercing eyes definitely draw me in to him. Quickly I realized that his is the “sweet bad boy.” He wears the rocker image, but you can tell what a great heart he has and how passionate he is about life and his charity, as he tries to raise money for diabetes research.
It was devastating to hear that Bret suffered a hemorrhage in the brain a couple of weeks ago, but he seemed to be making a quick recovery, even planning to go back on the road. Now, Bret has suffered a warning stroke, according to his doctors. As his fans can all attest, we know he will make a full recovery from this as well. Nothing can keep Bret down!
With the season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice airing LIVE this Sunday, we all hope that Bret will be able to attend. Clearly he wants to be there, but his doctors are fighting him on this issue. Holly Peete Robinson has done a great job, and her charity for autism is definitely well deserving of the money, how can we not pull for Bret to win this one? My pick and my money is going to Bret to win The Celebrity Apprentice, and not because of his health set backs, but because of his drive, his creativity, and his passion.
Bret…we all wish you well and will continue supporting you as you make a full recovery! Your fans at Top Trendsetter are glad you are continuing to sport your famous bandanas and sport your own style…nothing gets in your way!

The other day I ventured to Jump Jive & Wail Salon, in Frisco, TX. I decided it was time for a fun, summery hair style, and having been to the salon once before, I knew they could handle the task of my picky taste. Stephanie was my stylist and she was cute, trendy, sweet, and fun. She asked me what I was looking for in my “new ‘do” and then offered me a drink…not just water or a soft drink, but beer and wine are on the table at this trendy salon! (They sure know how to pamper a girl after a long day of work!) My highlights, lowlights, cut, & style took just short of three hours, although it didn’t seem near that long. I had my fair share of magazines to choose from, great conversation with everyone in the salon, and simply the joy of taking time for myself to relax and pamper.
You read about them in the magazines and you see them on TV. You love the new trends, but you just don’t know where to start. Many of you may have your own fashion sense and ideas…more power to you! Not everyone, though, has the inherent ability to make trendy statements, and that’s ok. Here are some surefire ways to make sure you stay trendy, no matter what your style…
On May 21, Texas’ Next Top Designer held a gala at LFT in Victory Park to introduce the top 10 finalists and announce the 2009 winner. Sew Sister, designed by Austin’s Megan Summerville, was announced as the winner and received a prize package worth $40,000 for her lingerie line.
We finally made our first trip to Las Vegas, and now we are going to try and go every year!
