Endorsements and reviews for GLAMOUR, GIDGETS AND THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.


Here are the women that we Baby Boomers wanted to be, date, or go shoe shopping with in mid-century America. What a fabulous shindig Herbie J Pilato has thrown to celebrate these luscious legends! Glamour, Gidgets, and the Girl Next Door is a joy for any TV fan who was there when these classic shows were new, and a must-read for anyone who wasn’t.
Frank DeCaro, Sirius XM radio host and author of The Dead Celebrity Cookbook

This book is a marvelous feast of observations that celebrate the glorious days of Hollywood’s Gidgets and glamorous women that we should never forget. Herbie J Pilato is a brilliant author who preserves Hollywood history in a way that no other author has succeeded in doing.
Margaret Wendt, award-winning executive producer, director, and journalist

From Loni Anderson to the Lennon Sisters, Herbie J Pilato’s collection of small screen legends reminds us that America’s pop-culture icons have never fit neatly into one simple mold. Americans have always been drawn to beauty and glamour, but there is more to the timeless subjects of Glamour, Gidgets, and the Girl Next Door, and it is revealed more clearly with each turn of a page.
Terry Marks, president and CEO, Hooters of America

Fans of classic TV will surely treasure Herbie J Pilato’s insightful new collation of our favorite ‘girls’ from yesteryear. Herbie’s reflections and his collection of rarely seen photos will transport you back to simpler times and wonderful memories of these glamorous ladies.
David Van Deusen, editor/publisher of The Walnut Times, the Dick Van Dyke Show newsletter

Why is it that so many books written about the entertainment industry aren’t entertaining? Not so with Herbie J Pilato’s Glamour, Gidgets, and the Girl Next Door. He’s clearly enamored with the business and the actresses, and it’s a fun read. This isn’t one of those tell-all books, revealing private secrets that should’ve stayed untold—it’s a positive, fact-filled celebration of these women.
Treva Silverman, Emmy Award–winning story editor of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and That Girl

As soon as I began to read Herbie J Pilato’s Glamour, Gidgets and the Girl Next Door, a wide grin appeared on my face. It never disappeared. This book is a joyous account of the wonderful women from yesteryear’s television. I’m happy to say that I knew and worked with many of them. Anybody who watched their delightful shows appreciated their talent and beauty.
William Wellman, Jr., actor, author, and son of famed director William Wellman

Here's to Your Health!

Ok, Everyone -

It's time to stop eating like crap.

We want you want you off your meds as quickly as possibly (and under your doctor's guidance, of course) - and it all begins with your digestive health.

So, real quick - here's the way to go:

Eliminate ALL junk food, red meat, alcohol, and processed foods, as each of these things are poison to the body.

If it's boxed, canned, wrapped or bagged - don't eat it or drink it.

Instead, DUMP it!

And that means cereal - and mostly milk and all dairy; as milk is mucus-forming and clogs the arteries.

Organic fruits and vegetables are the way to begin your day...ultimately in freshly-juiced form...which means you have to purchase a juicer.  The Fusion Juicer, via Amazon.com, is a relatively inexpensive way to go best way to go.

Other than that, begin your day with BRAGG's Apple Cider Vinegar....just a dash of it in a glass of purified or distilled water.

And eat lots of beets and radishes, all of which purify the blood...as does the Apple Cider Vinegar. 

I know some of this information is jarring...and change doesn't happen over night.  Especially when you're used to eating and drinking one way, and then making a 360 turn.

But what I say here is the truth, especially about the milk (it does NOT do a body good!) and processed foods like crap cereal. 

If anything, at least drink Almond or Coconut Milk.

And eat lots of sauerkraut (it's a natural probiotic) - and stay away from fast food!

More later!

This Is Your A-Life

Nobility, dignity, commitment....

These are the traits of a sincere and superior humanity.

Add to them a sense of humor, a strong mind, and a loving-kind heart and you will have your purpose.

In the process, you become a super being, invincible to the cares of the world, blessed in the eyes of Heaven.

While others struggle, you soar.

While others seek and pine, you find.

Your path is of the higher road, less traveled; paved with good preventions that protect you from the dark...in which you never find yourself because you are the Light.
