Toadies album 'Feeler'

Dear Dallas,
One of our favorite bands from across town in Fort Worth, that's right I said it, Fort Worth.  I'll say it again too you know, Fort Worth.  Now I know we are all mad at them for getting the Super Bowl coverage and stuff and if you ask me it is odd that we are having the Super Bowl at Dallas Cowboys Stadium but coverage in Fort Worth but that does not mean we can't enjoy some of their perks.  One of those perks is all of our guilty pleasure the Toadies!  The Toadies just released a "new" studio album and I just reviewed it on the examiner.com for Dallas.  Check it out here!

Ok Dallas, stay shallow and um, I guess I will too!
Big Kiss!

First Family of Big D

Dear Dallas,
I was to introduce you to the first family of Big D!

I understand that our beauty is overwhelming, believe me I do.  But getting jealous will not help your insecurities.  For beautiful people, such as Dirky and I, procreation is mandatory.  Jesus wouldn't want it any other way.
You are welcome Dallas!  You are welcome!
Shallow as ever,
The Nowitzki's
Dirk, Alexandra, Dirk Jr. & Blanche

Smooth Solutions, Multiple DFW Locations

Dear Dallas,
If you keep up with my blogs (Dear Dallas & Alexandra's World), then you know that me and the heat are not friends.  One of the very few ways to stay as cool as possible, that doesn't require TXU Energy, is by dressing in light, fashionable clothes.  Most of the said clothes require that I shave everyday.  So not in my constitution Dallas!  I am waxer, always have been.  It was easy too because in my little neighborhood in LA I had a salon one block away and could wax all of my necessary areas for $50; easy right.  Not so much in Dallas.  I haven't found any small salons like that.  My sister suggested doing laser treatment with Smooth Solutions.  She said that everyone was really friendly and the process was really fast and easy to maintain.  So I did it, I booked an appointment at Smooth Solutions and let me tell you ladies and men for the matter (introduce yourself to manscaping), it was super easy and fast!  You could definitely pull this off during a lunch break and still grab something to eat!  It is a bit more expensive than waxing but really worth it.  And if modesty is your issue, I understand.  I found it really odd to have a woman down there and even odder that there was no chance of an orgasm but I will tell you what my sister told me, "Think of it this way, they have seen 15 hoo-ha's before they've seen yours..... that day!" 
So check out Smooth Solutions Dallas, they have multiple locations making it convenient for you lanscape your special areas!
Stay Shallow Dallas and so will I!
XOXO,
Alexandra

Just in Case!

Dear Dallas,
From the Mayo Clinic:
"Heat exhaustion is one of the heat-related syndromes, which range in severity from mild heat cramps to heat exhaustion to potentially life-threatening heatstroke.

Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion often begin suddenly, sometimes after excessive exercise, heavy perspiration, and inadequate fluid or salt intake. Signs and symptoms resemble those of shock and may include:
■Feeling faint or dizzy

■Nausea

■Heavy sweating

■Rapid, weak heartbeat

■Low blood pressure

■Cool, moist, pale skin

■Low-grade fever

■Heat cramps

■Headache

■Fatigue

■Dark-colored urine
If you suspect heat exhaustion:

■Get the person out of the sun and into a shady or air-conditioned location.

■Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet slightly.

■Loosen or remove the person's clothing.

■Have the person drink cool water or other nonalcoholic beverage without caffeine.

■Cool the person by spraying or sponging him or her with cool water and fanning.

■Monitor the person carefully. Heat exhaustion can quickly become heatstroke.

If fever greater than 102 F (38.9 C), fainting, confusion or seizures occur, call 911 or emergency medical help."
I was told we were not going to be in triple digits anymore this week, but you weather people always lie!  I am crying on the inside Dallas; how do you do it? You all should be given medals!
Anyways, I am still here just maintaining existence near the a/c!
XOXO,
Alexandra

Dear Clark, Uptown

Dear Dallas,
Recently I was hair raped; it was a very painful and emotional experience and I don't want to give too many details.  Needless to say, a person's hair is very important, other than your skin, your hair is the most important area of your head.  And when an unprofessional person takes advantage of that, pulling your hair up and hats/scarves become very important.
My sister, who is amazing, came to my rescue and offered to pay for my haircut and take me to her guy.  Her guy is Joshua Rossignol at the Dear Clark, hair salon in Uptown.  Josh is amazing, amazing, amazing.  I did not give him a lot to work with, as stated earlier, my hair was chopped and chopped and chopped.  He was able to pull a rabbit out of his hat and give me a doable hairstyle. 
Josh is someone I would recommend and more importantly, I booked another appointment with Josh as I was leaving the salon. 
Here is Dear Clark,'s information:

Stay shallow Dallas, and get your best hair at Dear Clark, and by Josh!
XOXO,
Alexandra
