Bombshell Blogger Friday Round Up: Delia Ephron sounds off on plastic moms
It's Friday! This week FLEW by--what about you? I am afraid I didn't find a whole lot of bombshells this week out in beauty blog land, so I only have one post to share. Over at the Huffington Post, Delia Ephron has a pretty interesting read about the messages adolescent girls are getting from moms that have plastic surgery. She uses Heidi [...]
I Want My Kell-TV: Kell On Earth Premieres on Bravo
Depending on the source, Kelly Cutrone, founder of fashion PR firm People's Revolution and reality TV star, is either the uber bitch of the Aughts, or a hard working, no-nonsense, say-it-like-you-mean-it professional. But everyone seems to agree that she could use a little makeup. TV viewers first met Cutrone on the MTV series The Hills, where [...]
Two titans of fashion say we are all porkey, even Barbie
Today in misogynistic prickery, via Jezebel, we have two titans of women's fashion who really should be boycotted (if they were at all affordable in the first place). According to Australia's News.com.au, pompous gasbag Karl Lagerfeld told an Aussie magazine, "No one wants to see curvy women... You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips [...]
The agony of da feet
I come from a Big Foot family--even the diminutive kin have some pretty huge hoofers. So my size 8 soles were always a small source of pride. When I was little, my mother would hold my foot in her hands and marvel at their smallness. Then I got pregnant. After spending my 20s in high heels (sneakers and flats were not part of my fashion forward [...]
Stalking Hadley: Hadley Freeman comes to New York
I have been so busy these days, what with working the day job, trying to lay down my spa concept (someday I will share, but not yet) and toxic kindergarten, I have not kept up on the comings and goings of my muse Hadley Freeman. And she's been in NY for fashion week! And I missed her! Here's a rundown: Hadley reports that Madonna and Gwenie's [...]
Cintra Wilson fails. Obese mannequins prevail.
Cintra Wilson took her Critical Shopper column in the NY Times to the new Herald Square J.C. Penney yesterday. And it confirms that she is an asshole. I don't have a problem with her hating on the clothes--as the Times' resident "critical shopper," she is well within her right to take a gander and not like the options. Though I have to ask, is [...]
Rockin the tartan
With 80s beauty on my mind since this post, I looked up the Queen of Punk Fashion, Vivienne Westwood, who recently had her Red Label Fall 09 ready to wear show in London, to see what she was up to. And there is no better time to discuss Westwood than the kick off of Tartan Week here in NYC. Her Fall 09 collection was a "school girl" theme, with [...]
A moment on the lips…
You know what makes me really excited? Finding new uses for beauty items that are meant for something else. So I just stumbled on this piece from Sunday's NY Times about François Nars' makeup for the Marc Jacobs Fall 09 show. (Diclosure, I love Nars' makeup. Fuller disclosure, I have a friend who works there.) His inspiration was the 80s punk [...]
Hadley Freeman is a rock star
I love Hadley Freeman, the Deputy Fashion Editor for The Guardian and (shockingly) a contributing editor to British Vogue. Hadley has zero-tolerance for the usual fashion shenanigans and she’s vocal about it! Her dispatches from London’s Fashion Week are, in a word, brilliant. Check out her coverage of Paul Smith's runway show , where she [...]
