I Want This!

This is awesome! Check out this fiber optic wallpaper... If you want it now though, you'll have to blow $231 on just ONE roll. There are several color options, but it looks like you're limited to flowers as far as the design goes. Here's to bringing wallpaper back! I think it would be too much for a large room, but really cool for a dining nook or small living space.

Simpson Needs to Go Easy On The Collagen

Why does Jessica Simpson INSIST on getting lip injections? She always looks terrible!

Does She Really Need Them?

Eva Longoria was recently snapped with her SPANX showing. She is the tinest woman-- what can those Spanx possibly be holding in??

I Want These... Right Now!!

So what if these boots came out earlier in the season? I want them RIGHT NOW! Do you know how hard it is to find boots these days? Especially for girls with more, shall I say, "athletic" calves??? I tried these on and they fit like a dream and are outrageously gorgeous with a suit or jeans... If you're on the market, RUN don't walk for these Tory Burch Motorcycle Boots- they are almost sold out across the country!

BUT- I have a connection. E-mail if you want these boots for 20% off!

Been There Before...

This clearly must be Katherine Heigl at the end of the night... drunk, snacking (on a BIG MAC, no less) and of course, barefoot. Pleasenotice the splotchy-ness all over her face- she must also be allergic to certain alcohols. Heigl is just lovin' it.

Price Upon Request

If you read enough fashion magazines, you'll surely come across pieces marked "Price Upon Request" on the same page as items happily informing you they are $250,000. I always assumed that meant the cost was so astronomical that you would go blind just seeing it. Apparently this is not always the case, as the NY Times investigated.

In fact, more than half the time the item in question just never went into production! "Two editors at different fashion publications, who would not speak publicly because they did not want to embarrass their employers, said “price upon request” was usually a misnomer. It has become a euphemism used to credit designs that were never produced for sale. It is appearing more commonly, they said, for a clear reason: less and less runway fashion is actually being produced."Lies, all lies! Though supposedly "'We say ‘price upon request’ when an item isn’t produced because the designer will make the item at cost, if they decide to, depending on interest.'"...which ultimately still means REALLY RIDICULOUSLY INSANELY expensive.

Interesting Skin Care...

This really can't be real... there is this "exciting" new skin treatment which promises to permanently revitalize aging skin with injection of healthy young skin cells. OK- that sounds ok-until you hear that those young skin cells come from babies' foreskins. Yes, newborn babies are circumcised and then the foreskins are sent to a lab and turned into anti-aging potion or whatever.

Developed by a biomedical company, "Vavelta" is a clear liquid, made from millions of microscopic new skin cells cultured from babies' foreskins, which is then injected into the skin to treat wrinkles, sun damage, and scars. The clinical trials, which took place in London using "material" from a US hospital, have just been completed and reportedly show the technique to be "astonishingly effective." This is maybe no less insane than paralyzing your face with poison four times a year- but it's certinaly a lot creepier.
