first we're going to begin with those infamous james comey memos based on his notes with encounters with president trump released to congress and obtained by abc news overnight. they reveal comments president trump allegedly made about vladimir putin and fired national security adviser michael flynn. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking all of this for us there in d.c. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: robin, good morning. that's right. those controversial comey memos now in the hands of congress and president trump is weighing in. overnight, abc news obtaining the memos former fbi director james comey wrote after those controversial encounters with the president. the memos turned over by the justice department to congressional investigators last night largely match comey's congressional testimony and what he said in an exclusive interview with abc news. after his first encounter with president-elect trump on january 7th of last year, comey wrote he seemed preoccupied with salacious accusations from unverified intelligence. the subject, prostitutes.

there were no prostitutes, there were never prostitutes, comey recalled trump saying. and comey telling george -- >> he interrupted. started talking about it. do i look like a guy who needs hookers? >> reporter: roughly after a month and another meeting with trump in the oval office comey wrote the president was again talking about prostitutes. he wrote, the hookers thing is nonsense but putin told him we have some of the most beautiful hookers in the world. comey noted trump didn't say when putin told him this but confirmed the conversation last night. >> he told you that he had had a personal conversation with president putin about hookers? >> yes. >> reporter: also released comey's memos regarding what trump allegedly said about fired national security adviser michael flynn. the memo confirmed comey wrote, trump allegedly said, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this thing go, to letting flynn go. he also revealed a new bit of detail. according to comey trump said flynn had serious judgment issues. overnight, trump tweeting that

comey's memos prove there was no collusion or obstruction of justice and that comey leaked classified information. comey supporters have said such statements are simply not true. >> and pierre, comey's former deputy director is now facing the potential of criminal charges? >> reporter: that's right, robin. the justice department's inspector general is asking the u.s. attorney's office here in d.c. to decide whether andrew mccabe who was recently fired should be prosecuted for misleading investigators. mccabe has denied those allegations, but now faces the prospect of a possible criminal investigation by the very agency he once led, robin. >> all right. thank you. two more developments in the russia investigation. for that let's bring in our chief white house correspondent jon karl. and, jon, after weeks of scrambling the president beefed up his legal team in a big way. >> reporter: he sure did, george. he is bringing in rudy giuliani. giuliani, of course, is the former mayor of new york, but he is also the former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. that is the very u.s. attorney's office that ordered the fbi raid

on michael cohen's office. here is what giuliani said about why he took the job. quote, i am doing it because i hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because i have a high regard for the president and for bob mueller. that's what he told "the washington post." he also revealed his advice that he has already given the president on how to deal with the special counsel saying, quote, my advice on mueller has been this, he should be allowed to do his job. he's entitled to do his job. now, george, the big question, of course, is whether or not the president will take that advice on how to deal with the special counsel. >> right, he's gotten that advice before. meantime, we also are learning more about the meeting the president had last week with the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, who is overseeing the russia investigation. >> reporter: yeah, now, this is according to a source close to the president. a source close to the president tells abc news that rosenstein told the president that he was not the target of the investigation that led to that raid on michael cohen's office.

the president's attorney's office. not a target. now, george, the justice department has had no comment on this. rosenstein has had no comment on that and, of course, not being a target now does not mean that he would not become a target of that investigation down the road. >> okay, jon, thanks. more from our chief legal analyst dan abrams and let's pick up right there, dan. how significant this revelation, if true, about rod rosenstein and the president? >> not particularly because there's no way that a judge would have signed off on a warrant to do that raid on michael cohen's office and his home, et cetera, based on information they were trying to get on donald trump. meaning, you don't go to a lawyer's office to get information on the client unless there's some evidence of a crime being committed between the two of them. so that's hardly surprising. the question becomes, is he a target of the larger investigation? even if he isn't as jonathan points out that can always change. >> i guess the other question is it depends on what they find in -- >> that can change everything. that can change everything but

there's still going to be attorney/client issues with regard to cohen and trump and nothing exchanged between the two could be used against them. >> these comey memos. the president up and tweeting on this this morning. last night the president said the comey memos just out show clear there is no collusion and to obstruction, also he leaked classified information. wow, will the witch-hunt continue? what's surprising here is the president is using -- basically now using the comey memos to back up his points. in the past he's called them a hoax and fake. >> that's right and if you take the comey memos at their word, they're devastating to president trump with regard to whether he's telling the truth. he wrote these at the time. let's remember when these memos were written. they were written at a time when james comey presumably wasn't worried about his job. and they detail conversations the president says never happened. you know, if these conversations did happen, and it sure looks like they did based on these contemporary memos, it means that the president's lying.

>> the referral of andrew mccabe to the justice department prosecutors? >> i think that's a dangerous situation for andrew mccabe. this is a separate office. this is the department of justice handing it off to a u.s. attorney's office in washington, d.c. which in theory investigates this independently. they're going to look at it, determine do they think that the misleading leads to the level of a crime. andrew mccabe needs to be concerned. >> okay. dan abrams, thanks very much. over to michael. thank you, george. now to that other story breaking overnight, the grandmother accused of killing her husband and her look-alike going on the run is finally captured. abc's marcus moore is in texas where she was found. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: michael, good morning. they tracked her down to south padre island which is a popular spring break and summer vacation spot along the u.s./mexico border. this morning it is where lois riess' alleged run from authorities came to an end. she is the smiling, seemingly pleasant grandmother who has been the focus of a multistate manhunt for weeks. a source telling abc news a sharp-eyed manager at a

restaurant in south padre island, texas recognized lois reiss after she asked for a menu. marshals later finding her at a neighboring restaurant where she was having a drink, then in handcuffs without incident. >> right now she's being held in our facility and we're working with both the minnesota and florida detectives to best put the case together. >> reporter: riess was one of the most wanted fugitives in the country. police say the 56-year-old shot her husband david in their rural minnesota home back in march, then took off in their white cadillac escalade, soon after spotted at this iowa casino. u.s. marshals joining the search as riess allegedly drove to ft. myers, florida. authorities say that she befriended 59-year-old pamela hutchinson, a stranger bearing a similar appearance, before shooting her to death.

last seen on surveillance video taken just hours after the second alleged killing. investigators say this is riess with the car she's accused of stealing from one of her alleged victims and later here walking into a florida hotel right up to the check-in desk. this morning, it is unclear why she was in south texas, just 30 miles from the u.s./mexico border. and according to the marshals they believe she had been in the south padre area for the last several days staying at a motel 6. sources tell abc news that investigators believe she's been living off of a $2500 jackpot she won at a louisiana casino. michael. michael. >> thank you, marcus. looks like her luck ran out. robin? >> all right, michael. now to new details about that deadly engine explosion on a southwest flight. new video shows the panic on board. understandably so. as southwest faces more criticism this morning, is the airline taking too long to inspect its fleed? abc's linzie janis has more on that. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning. southwest is defending itself saying that although it opposed suggested regulations last year, it did take steps to improve safety. it comes as more cell phone video emerges from passengers

who feared for their lives. >> everybody, breathe. relax. >> reporter: this morning, newly released video showing the terrifying scene on board southwest flight 1380. this passenger wearing her oxygen mask recording as a flight attendant desperately tries to calm people down. >> everybody, breathe. we are almost there. >> reporter: the attendant yelling out the location of the defibrillator. >> it's in the front, the cabinet. >> reporter: as investigators study the plane's failed left engine that hurled debris cracking that window and killing passenger jennifer riordan, the faa says it's preparing to order more inspections on hundreds of heavily used 737s. the order would come one year after the engine's manufacturer recommended more frequent ultrasonic inspections of some fan blades after a similar incident in 2016 also on a southwest flight. but some u.s. carriers including southwest objected to the time

frame for completing the new engine inspections. southwest tells us it implemented its own inspection program last year and it's now accelerating those engine checks. >> in addition to our accelerated inspections, we're meeting with ge and boeing on a daily basis regarding the progress of the inspections and we'll continue to work with them throughout the investigation. >> reporter: and this morning, we're hearing from passengers on board flight 1380 who say they've received a check for $5,000 and a travel voucher for a thousand dollars from the airline. the airline is calling it a heartfelt gesture. robin. >> all right, linzie, thank you. michael. all right, robin. now to new details on that deadly ambush. two sheriff's deputies shot and killed while they were sitting at a restaurant in florida. the suspected shooter is also dead. abc's victor oquendo is there in trenton, florida, with more. victor, investigators are still searching for a motive.

>> reporter: good morning, michael. the gilchrist county sheriff says he doesn't know why his deputies were targeted. we're right in front of the restaurant where this happened and you can actually still see the bullet holes in the window where the shooter fired through. the sheriff calling those deputies the best of the best. two florida deputies killed in an ambush while on duty. >> need to stage in area, officer down. >> reporter: sergeant noel ramirez and taylor lindsey were eating at this restaurant in trenton, florida when a gunman shot them through a window. >> after 26 years of doing this, nothing prepares you for senseless deaths. >> reporter: ramirez, a veteran deputy and loving father, 25-year-old lindsey, just beginning his career. >> they were men of integrity. they were the best of the best. >> reporter: officials say the shooter is 59-year-old john hubert highnote of bell, florida, found dead at the scene and believe he was the only assailant and while the sheriff bobby schultz says there is no

motive yet, he lashed out. >> what do you think happens when you demonize law enforcement to the extent that it's been demonized. >> reporter: president trump tweeting his support saying, my thoughts, prayers and condolences are with the families. florida governor rick scott also supporting the small community saying, it is a true evil for anyone to hurt a law enforcement officer and in florida, we have zero tolerance for violence, especially against the police. >> going to put that badge back on where it's supposed to be and strap on that gun again and get out there and do our jobs, because that's what sergeant ramirez and deputy lindsey would want us to do. >> reporter: and the suspect was found dead of a gunshot wound very close by. the florida department of law enforcement is now investigating, but, again, michael, there is still no motive here. >> all right, thank you, victor. our thoughts and prayers are with their families as well. robin. now to new developments in that starbucks incident. philadelphia's police commissioner and the mayor are now both apologizing after donte robinson and rashon nelson were

arrested. abc's linsey davis is here and has those details. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin. one week later the philadelphia police commissioner and mayor are both taking a page out of starbucks' pr book and issuing those apologies and the police commissioner isn't just saying he's sorry, he's also creating change. he says the department did not have a policy for these kinds of situations until now. [ chanting ] >> reporter: philadelphia city officials are now saying they're sorry. >> i fully acknowledge that i played a significant role in making it worse. >> reporter: the philadelphia police commissioner who initially said his officers didn't do anything wrong when they arrested these two black men in starbucks now says he made a mistake. >> i can appreciate in light of the starbucks policy and how well known it is to many, why these two men were appalled when they were asked to leave. for this reason, me, i apologize to them. >> reporter: and thursday night,

philadelphia's mayor also offered an apology to donte robinson and rashon nelson who say they had just arrived at starbucks for a business meeting when nelson asked to use the bathroom. he says the manager told him no unless he made a purchase. they told our robin roberts it was just two minutes later that the manager called police. >> so, when they do approach you, what do they say and how do you react? >> as soon as they approach us they just say we have to leave. >> reporter: robinson and nelson say this is a problem that goes far beyond what happened in that coffee shop. >> what do you want to see happen here? >> what i want is for a young man to not be traumatized by this and instead motivated, inspired. >> reporter: and now a north carolina man says a similar incident happened to him in a charlotte starbucks in 2016. lamarcus cook says he was asked to leave by security because they didn't believe he had made a purchase. he says he had made a purchase. he streamed part of the encounter on facebook live and has since hired an attorney. robin.

>> yeah, this story continues on and on and, again, we have to remember next month starbucks is going to have an afternoon of racial bias training. we'll see what happens. >> thousands of stores all across the country. new details about the celebration of barbara bush's life. the public will be able to pay their respects to the former first lady today from noon until midnight at st. martin's episcopal church in houston. tomorrow a private service will be held for 1500 guests. the bushes, clintons and obamas are all planning to attend. first lady melania trump will be there but president trump will not. i will anchor our full coverage tomorrow starting at 12:00 eastern right here on abc. want to go to rob tracking those wildfires in the southwest. >> hey, george, new fire broke out across eastern parts of colorado shutting down i-70. you see that area right there where they were doing some water drops. also a fire breaking out in central california in the canyons and valleys in between -- near the sequoia national forest with winds gusting there out of the north and look at this satellite picture. this is our new high resolution satellite that shows the detail

>> the significance of this? >> we want to have a disclaimer. some people do have a life-threatening allergy to the antibiotic penicillin. >> yes. >> that is not who this study and this information applies to. it applies to the other 90% of people. and i see these former children who were adults literally every day when i ask if they have any allergies and they say, yes, penicillin. the next question medically should be what is your reaction? because if you get a rash a couple of days after taking penicillin, that is not a serious or qualifying reaction. if you get a little g.i. upset, nausea, vomiting, not a life-threatening allergy, so what this study did is took about 100 children who were thought to have a low-risk allergy to penicillin, tested them. gave them penicillin, not a single one had an allergy reaction so talking about this concept of de-labeling a child when they get to their doctor or emergency room. >> there's a problem if you think you're allergic and you're not. >> big problem, okay, first of all we have to remember penicillin is the most widely

used antibiotic in the world. medical and financial aspects used to treat skin infections, upper respiratory infections, ear infections, sometimes urinary tract infections, pneumonia. if you can't get it we are forced to go to other antibiotics, cousins that tend to be more sophisticated and expensive. put you at higher risk for other complications. patients stay in the hospital longer when they come in saying i'm allergic to penicillin, and they have a higher risk of surgical site infections postoperatively. you need to know if you are allergic. if you are not, not only is it expensive financially, but it puts your health in jeopardy. >> one of the first questions you're asked. >> absolutely. we ask it all the time. >> how do you know if you are or not? >> here's what people should know. parents or adults, they should take their child to an allergist, get skin tested. it is easy to do and then if they're determined to not be allergic that labeling comes off. if they are determined to be allergic that's a completely different category but this is potentially life saving information.

>> you'll have more information. >> yes, ma'am. >> talk on our new website. >> "gma" all day. >> "gma" all day. all right, michael. all right, robin, say it ain't so. "scandal" is over, everybody. >> ah, i know. i know. >> such an emotional night for gladiators everywhere. the long awaited finale aired last night, and it did not disappoint. "nightline's" juju chang is here with all the reaction. >> reporter: well, you know, it's impossible to know how much popcorn and red wine was consumed, but i can tell you e the "scandal" finale was the number one trend on twitter as legions of gladiators bid farewell. after seven seasons it was all about sex, power and corruption and last night marked the end of an era. this photo in the iconic oval office set taken just after the final scene of "scandal" had just been shot. star kerry washington posting overnight. so many of the show's memorable scenes taking place right there in the office of the presidency.

>> you can do anything you dream. >> especially if you got your sister with you. >> reporter: last night's finale the most tweeted of the season as the show's stars say good-bye sharing these snapshots from their viewing party as they all watched the final episode together. after the show, shonda writing good-bye, gladiators, i will be forever grateful. here's to future sunny days. i sat down with the actors behind the groundbreaking role before the big finale. olivia pope has evolved so much in seven years. in what ways have you seen her evolved and what have you learned from all that? >> yeah, i think it's so funny because i think when i started playing olivia pope, we were very similar, more similar than we are today, right, because in the life of the show i've gotten married and had kids and started a production company and she has not gotten married and chosen not to have kids. we do share this entrepreneurial spirit and she's taught me a lot about courageously going after

your wins in life and not being told no. >> reporter: what did olivia pope win in the end? a place in history if these final moments are any clue. the very last shot of the series, a larger than life painting of olivia pope in red, white and blue, two young girls in the national portrait gallery looking up at it. we the people painted along the side. and that older girl right there looking at it, shonda rhimes' daughter, harper. >> isn't that cool she had her daughter in there. so cool. and, you know, we were saying that's clearly an homage to those young girls staring at michelle obama's official portrait, and on twitter people are speculating whether that means olivia pope becomes president. whether there is a series. shonda said she left things open. >> she seems to be back with fitz but fitz would not be president again. i think she becomes president. always a comeback. >> always thinking. >> always thinking, everybody. the end of an era. we look forward to a comeback of "scandal." i'm joking.

update in about 30 minutes and always on our news app and abc7news.c ♪ welcome back to "gma" on this friday morning and thank you guys for joining us this friday. we have a great audience with us here this morning. and some of our audience has been busy playing board games this morning. how long have you guys been at it? >> about an hour. >> about an hour. >> who is wining? >> i am. >> i am. >> well, you know what, that's what we're going to talk about. we'll talk about board games and if you're trying to wrap things up during a board game there's a new article in "the wall street journal" exposing the secret to ending an endless board game. we all know them. some people are making it endless and ending it by cheating. yeah, that's right. more people playing games as parents try to pull their kids away from technology which i like but as we all know they can

go on a little too long sometimes so adults admit they're taking matters into their own hands. one mom explaining, i'd say let's just play one game for bedtime but the game will go on and on so you have to do something. i am glad they didn't figure out their mom who is a lawyer of all things was a cheater. >> oh. >> oh, yeah. what kind of lesson would that be if you taught your kids to cheat to win the game. have you ever cheated to finish a board game that was running too long? >> what's cheating? >> you did. you did. you cheated, george. if you got to ask what that is you've done it. >> last time i was home in mississippi. amber and i decided when my niece was graduating we were baby-sitting her children and one of her youngest sons was playing a board game. i think he changed the rues because we didn't know the rules so i don't think he was cheating, i think he just modified the rues a little bit. >> you concede. say you girls won. >> we make excuses.

the kid cheated, robin. >> not my sweet ryan. he didn't do that. >> but i will admit i have done it. i have. i'm just tired. i'm ready to go to bed. >> with the twins. >> doesn't matter who it was with. [ laughter ] >> i'm telling you on. >> i'm telling on myself. >> can we agree it's not a mo mortal sin. >> some people say what are you teaching your kids? we got shelly over here. you know, she's playing monopoly at the table over there and you have one boy and three girl, shelly. you used to have family game nights on sunday but you would never cheat. >> no. we wouldn't. well, there's an age difference between -- eight years so the big kids would never let the little kids cheat so also life, you don't get to cheat at. you have to work hard and make smart choices and sometimes it's luck and sometimes it's not luck but you have to keep at it and that's the lesson i want all my children to know. >> good for you. >> that's a good one.

[ applause ] then we have cassie is at the same time as shelly and cassie, you kind of modified the game a little bit. >> i do. look, i have a 7-year-old and monopoly can take like eight hours if we play by the rules. so we just, you know, alter the money situation a little bit so it's more appropriate for time. >> more appropriate for time. >> i like that. [ applause ] well, thank you, guys and i know rolando is over there saying he's winning. you say you're winning. how many people can win when there are four people at the table and two people raise their hands. i don't get it. at the end of the day, george, you know, like you said, i don't think there's anything -- >> if you shorten things up. >> monopoly is a long game but i love it. >> it is. >> so nothing wrong with that. >> another question out to the crowd. what do you think of voice mail these days? >> ooh, wow. >> whoa. well, you guys are certainly not alone. debate has been trending on twitter whether or not they're

still develop haven't. i hope to ban voice mails. got nearly 4,000 likes. and one person agrees saying if it's important people should text or call again. another person said, oh, god, no, then i'd have to take phone calls rather than get the voice mail. i don't know. i don't think they should be banned. >> i don't -- i'm not very good about checking them but one of our executive producers, si money, can we have a shout -- she admitted to having 212 voice mails unopened. 212 she hasn't listened to and look how many she has in her in-box. >> you can delete those. >> i could delete those. [ applause ] >> but -- >> you don't always have to check. if you saw somebody's number coming in. >> that would give me anxiety. i would have anxiety. i feel like i'm missing something. people trying to reach me, 134,000 people are trying to reach me, simone. >> i know. but simone said it's usually her mother leaving the voice mail about, i'm sorry, i'm not supposed to tell this, simone, about recipes and things like that.

>> let's defend her. she reads the transcripts. >> she does read the transcripts. not just recipes but life advice. >> i'm bad at checking. i'm a texting and e-mailer. i'm not necessarily a phone talker. i don't like when i'm texting and then the person calls me. [ laughter ] i have -- >> why do people do that. >> i almost threw a fame out there. i love you, man, but you got to stop. >> i call my daughters and they don't take the phone call and text me instead. [ laughter ] >> that's frustrating. >> those are teenagers. >> i got something here. something that came along our producer's newsfeed. an incredible celebrity look-alike contest that's gone viral started by a principal and the teachers at the universal institute charter school in philadelphia. the contest is part of spirit week. it's intended to get the kids excited to go to school and to take part in the state's standardized testing and it works. both kids and the teachers got all dressed up as their favorite

stars. let's see if you guys can guess who these people are, the look-alikes. this first one is an eighth grader alaia. she dressed up as -- can you see it? can you see, guys? can you see? >> tlc. >> oh. >> left eye. left eye. all right. tlc's left eye. even had the pose. >> okay. >> now we have a third grader. see, she looks just like her. a third grade teacher who got in on the ago. let's see if you can see what tiara was dressed -- come on. she's giving you a big clue there, whitney, yes, all right. [ applause ] we love you, whitney and take a look at second grader zaden. >> michael jackson. >> michael jackson, yes. very good. and then we have a third grader. [ laughter ] >> i love this. >> did you see "black panther"? yes, michael b. jordan's character.

yes. yes. >> very good. >> that's very good. >> that was a good one. wakanda forever. >> that was cool. >> as long as it gets the kids to take the testing it makes it more fung for them. then i think we're all for it. >> all for that. >> great job, you guys. great job. [ applause ] >> thank you, michael. coming up, the fashion doctor is in the house. changes to your wardrobe that could revolutionize the way you feel. change your clothes, change your outlook. >> all right. [ ap

in the commercial break, you know, we got great audience members and brought this -- a little michael strahan for him to sign. look and he signed his behind. that's so cute. lovely. >> that's the only clean spot to sign. >> i didn't want to say anything. but you know what, we are back with the dress doctor. she calls herself a fashion psychologist focused not only on how clothes make you look but the science behind how they make you feel. adrienne bankert is back with that. i've often said you got to change the way you feel -- have to change the way you look forward to change the way you feel. >> all of us know you got to dress your best, right? fashion is a huge part of your personal brand.

she offers styling from the inside out and says why you're dressing a certain way is far more important than the label. they say dress for success. but fashion psychologist dawny karen says we've got it wrong. >> a lot of times people are on autopilot and not aware their clothing affects how they feel. >> reporter: sometimes called the fashion shrink karen types her theory of fashion psychology at new york's fashion institute of technology. and in her counseling practice she uses talk therapy to understand how her clients feel about themselves, how they view the world and how believe the world sees them. >> the misconception fashion cannot be smart. fashion does not have it. >> reporter: karen says most outfits tall into one of three category, mood illustration dress or wearing how you feel at the moment, mood enhancement dress, using your outfit to enhance your mood or repetitious

wardrobe complex. wearing the same types of clothes every day. >> as a fwags psychologist i'm here to show you there's layers to why we wear what we wear. >> reporter: we decided to put her theories to the test on this woman, elianaa kissner who says she wants to look on the outside the way she still feels on the inside. >> before i was a mom i did a lot of tailored fitted things. in my experience being a mom it's a lot of flowy and soft and stretchy and drool-safe clothing. >> what's your ultimate goal. >> feel good about what i'm wearing even when i'm in the trenches taking care of my baby. >> reporter: after a quick analysis. >> there's this. >> this mom's outfit went from there to this. >> well, right now you're doing a little bit of mood illustration with the leggings and then you're doing mood enhancement with the top and the jazzy belt. how do you feel.

>> i feel great. i feel energized. >> so you're giving me a little premom and current mom and so from now on i want you to kind of balance the two. >> yay. thank you. [ applause ] >> you can tell she feels more confident already. you might already be dressed but for the future she says if you're wearing the same kinds of look every single day you're doing it for emotional support. the university of delaware and the london college of fashion offer similar courses, so certainly get out there and tacking the world in your great o outfit. >> what i often say you have to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel but i never thought the way you look can change that. >> the way you think about yourself on the inside certainly has an affect on what you do and choices you make on the outside. >> we'll have christie brinkley here with some secrets. a little bit later. now to rob. >> hey, robin. got a good-looking crowd out here from all over the country. jordan and kylie from ft.

lauderdale. has his gloves on and hat. bring it. it's chilly out here, guys, right? we're braving it. 38 degrees right now. go to central park, take in the sunshine. sheep meadow. up to 50 but windchills of 30 degrees and it's been that story for the last month and a half. we will get milder here from minneapolis to d.c. to new york city over the next three days. at least a more seasonable level into the lower 60s. sounds all ri good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. total sunshine today, a little hazy at times, and temperatures average, to if not, above average. my accuweather seven-day forecast. our warmest days are ahead of us this weekend.t? all right.? good-looking crowd here in new york city. lots more "gma" coming up after this commercial break. stay with us.

[ applause ] she has rocked the industry for almost five decades now. all morning long she's been making over three lucky women. own it, baby. making over three women in our audience and we'll see their transformations in just a moment. of course, we want to get sequins going here. how do you do it. >> it's no secret. i share everything in my book. you know. because i literally had to write a book about how i do this because every year the routine gets more and more and more. but i can tell you it starts with really good nutrition. i'm a lifelong vegetarian and i have a great dermatologist for the little tweak, you know. and but what's important that you can do every day is great skin care and that starts with spf. that's the most important tip i can tell you is to protect your skin from the sun and also

indoor you can have -- there's a lot of things indoor that age you as well? really. >> oh, absolutely. indoor infrared from microwave oven, cell phone, computers and you want to cream that can protect you interest that as well because that's being thoroughly modern. >> you have three tips. three top tips you would say. >> three top tips, i would say the spf, i would say don't go to sleep with your makeup on because the nighttime your body is repairing and restoring and refreshing. you want a scream that's going to help you, you know, have peptides that will help you build your collagen and elastin. it's all about that. >> make time for yourself. >> make time for yourself. i always say -- [ applause ] and i'm going to say four, attitude of gratitude. that is the key to everything. >> i know and you're grateful for everything. those beautiful children you have. >> oh. >> the business empire you have built. >> well, i'm trying. [ laughter ]

you know, i ask myself all the time, will it make somebody's life happier, easier, better then i'm on to something and i go for it. >> well, you went for it with three very lucky viewers. so shall we get them to. first is karen. let's see her before picture. okay, looking good. now, karen, come on out. let's see you now. oh. [ applause ] oh, you got it. oh. you're a new mom, right? >> new mom. >> you were saying you were having a little difficulty in sleeping and thought it was giving you bags. >> and no time. >> so what's the solution. >> well, so the solution to bags is very easy. under eye concealer. but the trick is -- the trick is a lot of people will cake the under eye concealer on underneath. it's best to start with a light foundation, that's going to warm up your skin tones and we use my foundation, it's really -- just the lightest most feathery and

then put a pop of blush on your cheeks because that's going to bring out some color. >> look at that. >> and then -- [ applause ] right. so we put a little pop of blush and then put your concealer on and unfortunately i forgot to bring the brush to the set because i like to start with a little brush right in the inner corner and then gently smooth it around in one direction brushing out. >> that looks good is there that will take care of it. >> good. great. all right. thank you. now let's see catalina before. all right. and now catalina. hello. [ applause ] catalina, she is single ready to mingle. and she wants to go from the office to a date so what does she do? >> i mean, all my girls are so

gorgeous and have such gorgeous skin but you know what, you want to keep it gorgeous so i say you always have to start with a great moisturizer that has spf and, you know, all of that and her skin is so lovely, as i say my foundation is very, very light and feathery but i put a little touch on my hand and for her skin, because you want to keep it light. you don't want to weigh it down. a lot of people will put too much and too much can actually cause you to see all of the wrinkles and everything. she doesn't have a wrinkle. but so i add a little drop of my oil, very natural essential oils and mix it together and i use a big brush which i forgot to bring on the set as well. we've been in a rush this morning. but then i would just put it very lightly around the face. blending the edges, always make sure you turn your face to the side to make sure that you don't have a line right there and -- >> looking beautiful.

>> voila. >> we want to get to the last one. renae this. is renae. renae before and look at grandma, come on out. renae. [ applause ] you're not a grandmother. so what did you do here. >> i mean, what did -- well, first of all what we started with, you know, eyebrows are the anchor of your face, right? and as we age, our eyebrows get a little bit thinner and very often the outer edge is gone. you've got to put that back on. i have a "the greatest showman" blond brow liner. you see here, and we just lightly went with the direction of the hairs and then we take the hairs right down and make sure that we complete that brow because that gives the whole thing a softer look. >> you see, simple as that. christie, thank you very much. our beautiful models.

wonderful. [ applause ] all i've got to say is we'll be right back. >> beautiful. [ applause ]
