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 [...]
Bombshell Blogger Friday Round Up: Reality TV Edition
What a week for Reality TV, or more specifically Jersey Shore. America's favorite guidos brought notoriously cheap Viacom to their knees, and MTV caved to their demand of $10,000 an episode for a second season. (And no, I still haven't seen it! But I'm working on that). Fascinatingly, Jersey Shore has already inspired the intellectual set to [...]
Bombshell Blogger Friday round-up: London Calling!
It's Friday! And we're jetting to Blighty! Well, OK, in our roundup. Here's what our Brit counterparts were blogging about this week. Jolie Nadine's London correspondent considers natural products -- specifically what they "won't" do. (Consider this a primer for our next toxic beauty post--there are points that I strongly disagree with. Can you [...]
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 [...]
NamasteMoFo!
Twice this week I have read about non-new agey yoga. This month's Yoga Journal is all about doing it to music, and today's NYTimes profiles LA yoga guru Vinnie Marino, who was lead to teaching yoga by Grace Slick and kicks off his class with Led Zeppelin (maybe they are so old, they now qualify as new age?). Vinnie trains the requisite [...]
Tabatha’s Salon Takeover takes on dirty, nasty salons and spas
I couldn’t sleep last night so I did a late-night viewing of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. I am not a reality TV kind of girl (gave up on them after the late Anna Nicole’s fabulously trashy show was canceled on E!). I had never watched Sheer Genious, so I was a total Tabatha virgin. It is not the best reality show I have ever seen, [...]
