    Georgea Kovanis: Love the 'Mad Men' era, but leave old prejudices out of it

    It's easy to watch "Mad Men" -- the Emmy-winning AMC drama about Don Draper and the rest of the glib, hard-drinking, chain-smoking, politically incorrect executives at a 1960s advertising firm in New York -- and think how far we've come since then.

    Georgea Kovanis: Meet some of our readers' shops in metro Detroit

    A while back, I asked Free Press readers to share their favorite places to shop and do business. You came up with mechanics, a dentist, several stores and a really fabulous shoe repair place. I narrowed the picks to four, checked them out myself and then added a pick of my own. Ready to shop? Let's go! Recommended by: Betty Rajskub, 67, Trenton

    Georgea Kovanis: Why not a little lie?

    It's happens to all of us. Someone asks you a question you don't want to answer: Does my spray tan look natural? Do you like my new haircut? Do these jeans make my butt look big? And you're stuck. You can tell the truth: Of course they make your butt look big. They're mom jeans. What do you expect?!

    Georgea Kovanis: The color of spring is bright, juicy orange

    Whether you call it tangerine or clementine or cantaloupe, it's still orange. And orange, according to trend experts, is one of the big colors for the season. It's cheerful. It's fun. It's playful. And, like orange Faygo, it'll put a bit of fizz into your wardrobe. Another good thing about orange: It's a color that looks good on just about everyone.

    Georgea Kovanis: There's no rhyme or reason to use B-word

    As it is with hairstyles and makeup, clothing and colors -- this year's hot hue is Tangerine Tango -- words go in and out of fashion. We endured "groovy" and "phat" and "bad" when it really meant "good." Lately, I'm hearing "adorbs" a lot; "cray-cray," too.
