The Botox Bandit...


Here is the story we were talking about in Stupid News!



Genesis Medical Spa owner Scott Seidenstricker said he’s on the hunt for a “Botox Bandit.”The bandit he’s talking about received about $1,300 in Botox treatments at his Reno salon on March 13 and then skipped off without paying the bill. She told the technician she had an important call to make and would be back in one minute to go to her next appointment, Seidenstricker said.Instead, the woman walked to her car and drove off, Seidenstricker said.Botox is the brand name of a neurotoxin that is typically injected into a person’s face for cosmetic purposes so that frown lines and wrinkles are smoothed.The spa owner said he hopes the photos his technician took of the woman will help police identify her. “If it’s happening at Genesis, it’s happening somewhere else,” Seidenstricker said.He said his technicians take photos of clients before and after their treatments so they can see the difference the procedure makes. He said the “Botox Bandit” seemed very uncomfortable when she was told they were taking the photos. In some photos, she raised her head enough so her face was not clearly seen, he said.Seidenstricker said this was the third time in about a year a client left the salon without paying for pricey medical treatments.“I really don’t know where they get the idea to do this,” he said.Reno police fraud unit Sgt. Jeff Freelove said his detectives are investigating. He said there has been no other reports of “Botox Bandits” or others similar crimes at local salons and spas.Seidenstricker said the woman was seen driving off in a green four-door sedan, possibly a late 1990s Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, with California license plates.

The big tease!

So it's Saturday night and just got home from helping pick the movies for the upcoming BANFF Mountain Film Festival(at JA Nugget 4/1 & 4/2) and what a great festival its going to be. As soon as I pull into the driveway Mother Nature cuts loose with snow, wind, and cold! Wasn't it 65 degrees earlier this week. I had the windows to the house open and was able to let the hounds nap in front of a screen door....I love this time of year! It's like an extra treat to have a day like that...a day to put on shorts, take a walk, ride the bike, and of course fire up the grill. I celebrated Monday's weather by grilling up a slab of ribs. I call those days the big tease...because in Northern Nevada you know the weather can change at the drop of a hat. Enjoy the tease later this week with 60's again...Soon it will be 90+ every day and we will be begging for fall. Talk to you in the morning!

Favre retires!


For those that listen to the show...you know I am a die-hard Packer Fan! For 17 years I have lived for Sundays in fall with #4 Brett Favre and the Packers playing good American football. Times are changing and this morning he announced his retirement. I just spoke to my mother and she claims the whole state is in complete shock. It's not like you haven't had time to prepare for this day...it's been dangled like a carrot for the last 4-5 years.


There will never be another player like Brett Favre and I could not be more happier for him. He deserves retirement and everything that comes with it. I would have loved to see him play in one more Super Bowl...but that isn't in the cards. I'm just glad I had a chance to witness the road to the NFL Hall Of Fame. Talk to you in the morning.
