Rest Whilst Standing
By: Heather Latimer / Heather’s Self-Help Tips
You never dreamt that one day a worldwide
virus would cause you to visit your doctor’s
office or go shopping wearing a mask and rubber
gloves. Or that, upon reaching your destination, you’d be required to
stand in line – 6’ from the next person before being permitted to enter
those premises.
Medical authorities have always advised elderly persons to refrain
from staying in any fixed position for more than 8 minutes and, as you
know, standing for even a shorter period usually increases the aches,
pains, stiffness and fatigue that you possibly endure no matter what
you are doing.
Do you remember pictures in Butterick pattern books and elsewhere
where fashion models appeared? Those glamor girls customarily stood
with one foot pointing forward with the other foot diagonally behind it.
That pose not only slenderized the model’s hips but had a much
more practical purpose. That was to enable the model to stay still
whilst the photographer took a seemingly endless time adjusting his
camera, props and overhead lighting.
To maintain her position, the model bore down first on her left
buttock (the diagonal one) in order to “sit” on it. That was to take
weight off her right knee and calf and ease pressure on her right hip.
Next she reversed the procedures in order to rest her left leg and hip.
Be a copycat! You’ll relieve some of the pain and discomfort of long
term standing.

How it Began
By: Temma Hammond
Being part of the
entertainment
community all my
life from Hollywood to Las Vegas, I thought
it would be fun to share with readers a
little of my history.
My father was fifty-years old when I was born. He started in silent
movies and was the original stand in for Charlie Chaplin. When Charlie
couldn’t get to a personal appearance event, he would send my dad
because he looked exactly like Charlie.
As a result, I got to share in all the old stories of how Hollywood
became so famous.
Growing up, I watched my dad produce and direct motion pictures
in his own studio. He built his studio in Hollywood across from the
Chaplin Studios, which is still there.
Seeing how movies were made and how the actors changed with the
times was very educational and entertaining. My mother was a drama
coach and writer, and being an only child, it was like a three-person
team making our lives a 24/7 exciting family in show business.
Coming to Las Vegas in the early 1990s, I designed and built two
film studios with such wonderful clients as George Clooney, Jackie
Chan, Martin Scorsese, Whoopie Goldberg and many more. Now as
President and CEO of GoldenNetwork.TV, I’m focused on the fifty plus
community.
And working with The Vegas Voice to share stories is fantastic.
Entertainment is so important now and sharing experiences can be
extremely rewarding.
Hopefully, you who might want to share your stories with us. Contact
