...what may be the niftiest put-on since early Warhol, attention-getting women are using Pop (or Mom) art to decorate their fingernails (see color). Linda Lovelace trips with stripes and sparkles. Tina Sinatra goes for checks and chevrons in black, blue, purple and yellow. Nancy Reagan displays-what else?-conservative decor, usually pale shades of pink that blend with her complexion. Popular nail orders are for half-moons, hearts, houses, bumblebees, ladybugs and lilies. One Revlonutionary in Los Angeles celebrates Bicentennial themes; other tastes range from pets to presidential preferences. At Mr. Michaels, a Manhattan manicurist...

...Japanese community need have no qualms about placing their parents in Los Angeles' Keiro (which translates as Home for Respected Elders), a 184-bed facility that bespeaks the Oriental tradition that old age should be a time of ease. Keiro's appeal ranges from chaste Japanese decor to good food served from a gleaming stainless-steel kitchen. The home also has a largely bilingual staff that is genuinely interested in the welfare of its patients, and a program that includes everything from physical rehabilitation to concerts on traditional Japanese instruments...
