BEST FACE FORWARD
Losing a house and two home-health businesses to Hurricane Katrina would be enough to fray the good looks of any woman, even one as incandescent as former Zulu Queen Lisa Crinel.
Her appearance was hardly a paramount concern in the storm's immediate aftermath. Crinel, 43, found herself sleeping on floors and commuting between Baton Rouge, LaPlace and Sugar Land, Texas, to rebuild the businesses that 150 nurses and physical therapists, now down to 30, had depended on for a living. She finally decided last winter, after months of exhausting work, that the time had come to indulge herself.
"My family has seen me fix and help so many other people. It became time for me to start fixing Lisa," Crinel said.
