Day Dreaming about Dresses

Every New Years Eve I'm forced to hit the bottle after a stressful day of trying to determine what I should be wearing as the clock strikes midnight and my chariot turns into a pumpkin. It's possible you share my same dilemma too. Luckily you can skip the drunken uncertainty that is your wardrobe because I've chosen for you. Instead enjoy the drunken absurdity that is having to pay a cover charge anywhere you go tonight! CHEERS!

Peach? Belch!


Chris Benz is well on his way to making a hit in the beauty department this coming February. That's when his new lipstick for Lancôme lands in stores, a peachy hue named Chris & Tell that's been in the works and buzzed about for nearly six months , but that's also been totally unavailable!! Now wait lists are open at Saks Fifth Avenue and Lancôme boutiques for the $29 tube. The peachy color itself is sort of blah and looks like something you'd find in one of those spend $25 or more and receive a free gift bag at Macy's.
But you know I'll be on that wait list anyway. AH CB HOW I HEART THY!

Shaved heads - A brief history



Solange shocked the world by stepping out with her hair completely shaved off. This was the culmination of a slew of recent lady head-shavings: Cassie shaved half her head, Alice Dellal–style, in April; Rihanna shaved the bottom part of her head earlier in the year and Carmen Electra shaved half her head, Cassie-style, last month. And new to the list is my friend Thais, who quote,"wanted this cut since I was 5."
Of course, shaved heads are nothing new. But the recent events indicate this style is really having a moment. In the past, actresses like Natalie Portman have done it for roles in forgettable sci-fi films. Britney did it for, um, personal reasons.


And now enjoy these pictures of memorable shave heads of decades past:








Now the unvailing of Thais' fabulous do!

9




Ah one more reason to add to the list of reasons why I love Daniel Day-Lewis, Nine!
Federico Fellini's 8½ is on many a movie fan's top 10 list. And so naturally, it had to be remade—first as a Broadway musical and now as the all-singing, all-dancing Hollywood blockbuster,due out this month. Like the original, the new flick tells the story of a harried filmmaker's retreat into memory and fantasy as he juggles the competing demands of the women in his life.

Cheers and Good Evening all!

XOXOXO

Oh the weather outside is frightful

Snapped these pictures Friday during work to keep myself sane. I should have worn socks that day! I've never seen it rain this much in San Diego. It was so wet it almost looked like a real city. Stay dry kid's!

Etsy.com

Over the past weekend I went to Thread and met this really great jewelry vendor who had set up a booth at the show. I took her card and she promised I could find more of her designs on Etsy.com. So I typed it in my search engine and wandered through the site and haven't logged off since. I love Etsy because it helps up and coming designer's post and sell their stuff. Not only that but you can find some great vintage piece's. Check out what I found today!














Alexa Chung's MTV gig canceled


Say it ain't so! My favorite "it" girl and TV personality's show has been euthanized. The last episode is slated to air December 17th so mark you calenders! Look's like MTV will have a new time spot to air Jersey Shore reruns...yippy. NOT!

all i want for christmas is you

Sometime in the afternoon yesterday somewhere between that bum and the 7/11 on India. I was thinking to myself, "What do I want for Christmas?" THEN suddenly I opened my Vogue and found it. Iconic guerrilla graffiti artist teaming up with Keihl's to moisture my fingertips. This is the perfect gift this holiday because the bottles benefit nonprofit organization RxArt, I'm not sure who they are but I'm passing up the usual Lubriderm for this. Cheers!
