Fashion & beauty
(From Stephanie Becker, TODAY Producer)
You may have seen the story this morning) on "inter-facial" mixed marriages -- couples who aren’t on the same level of attractiveness -- as defined by Belinda Luscombe the Arts Editor at Time Magazine.

In our phone conversation she compared him to Brad Pitt, while rating herself a 6 ½. Personally, I think she's short-changing herself.
For the taped story we interviewed Belinda and talked to an expert on relationships, Dr. Drew Pinsky who confessed that he, too, married up on the attractiveness scale when he married a model 15 years ago. (Judge for yourself by the photo below.)

Yes, I've seen the photos of a bald Britney Spears and the reports she had bad hair extensions, but I figured worst-case scenario I'd end up with a short bob for the summer. However, my experience has truly been best-case scenario. My hair is much thicker, a little longer, and so much fun to style. I lost a lot of hair following the birth of my second baby and I feel like I have my hair back from my college days, even a little more than I ever had.
