Don’t be so sensitive Louis….It’s TECHNICALLY not one of your bags.

Nadia Plesner, a 26 year old artists, developed a campaign called “Simple Living” to raise money for victims of genocide in Darfur. Within this campaign she created a t-shirt with an image that depicts a Darfur genocide victim holding LV-inspired designer bag and a “Paris Hilton” inspired looking, Chihuahua. 100% of the profits of the t-shirt are going help the victims. Although the hand -bag is not specifically a Louis Vuitton bag, LV doesn’t care, to them it’s close enough. And is filling a lawsuit, claiming intellectual property. I don’t know who will win but I can tell you where to purchase Nadia’s shirts and posters and where to get update on her story.

Speaking of Cougars…….

I couldn’t really believe that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were that serious. We all know that the road toward romance for her has been a tough one. It has been confirmed that Mariah and Nick have tied the knot!!! And have tattooed each other’s name on their bodies. (Bad Luck!) They seem like a rather odd couple to me but who knows, it might work out. Pick up the People Magazine on stands now to get the full story and wedding Pics.

If I could be any animal, hands down, I would be a “Cougar”!

A “Cougar” is the sexy older woman who seduces younger men. Here’s to you Mrs. Robinson and Samantha from “Sex and the City” The Cougars are increasing in numbers these days. When I was younger I was totally against the idea of dating a younger man, but now in my mid twenties I am beginning to reconsider. It is becoming a more positive situation, viewing women usually their in 30s and 40s as financially stable, mentally independent and looking for a younger man to have fun with. Being a Cougar doesn’t sound so bad. Watch out, now! For someday, I too, may be on the PROWL!!

Take a look at these celebrity Cougars! GGGGGGGRRRRRRR!

Finally, we have a gray area.

The IT nail color of the season is not black and its not white. The color is ……Gray! No more of that harsh noir. Switch to something softer plus it matches the seasons neutral shades. Try O.P.I’s Moon Over Mumbai, it cost about $10 , make it one of your affordable splurges! But Don’t just take my word for it. Check out what stylepipe had to say.

Sunglasses are for outdoor use and daylight!!!

Do you wear sunglasses after dark? I hope not because it really ticks me off!! Another thing that hrows me over the edge is when people wear sunglasses indoors. Especially if you are a celebrity; people pay to see you so don’t make an indoor appearance under sunglasses!! That is rude and inconsiderate! Check out Katie and Tom whom were recently caught wearing shades in the dark.

Wierdos!!!

Mommy looks different.

“My Beautiful Mommy” written by plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer.

Over the past ten years the number of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures have sky rocketed. And I always wondered what parents told their children when going through these procedures. I would think that it must be scary for a child to see mommy going into the hospital. Another thing I wonder is how the kids must feel when they grow up looking nothing like their parents. Especially if both have gotten work done.

Although I don’t necessarily think that plastic surgery is the way to go, I am one to never say never. Who knows I might get some work done in my later years. I actually think this is a great idea as far as niche markets go. Some of the books creep me out and I feel they would be better if written by child psychologist instead of mostly plastic surgeons.

Watch your mouth! Don’t ever say you can’t wear Red Lipstick.

Red lipstick is classic and never goes out of style. It upsets me when I hear people say that they can’t pull off red lipstick. I’m here to tell you that, yes you can!!!!

Here are 10 tips to go by when going RED!

1. For day go lighter and sheer for evening go darker and bolder.

2. If you have thin lips avoid deep reds, they will make your lips look s smaller

3. Play with intense shades if you have a stronger complexion

4. Don’t pair red lipstick with super heavy eye make up, a little mascara and beige shadow will go a long way.

5. If you have found that you have purchased a shade that doesn’t work,
DON’T toss it. Play with it by topping it with different glosses

6. Bring it all together by smudging the a tiny bit of the lipstick on your cheeks and blending it with your fingers.

7. Precision is important, take your time with it. Don’t go trying to apply it in the back seat of a cab.

8. Don’t use a red lip liner to line your lips. It’s virtually impossible to find identical shades. Your best bet, if you must, is to find a liner closest to your natural lip color.

9. Apply a little concealer on the outside of your mouth to prevent bleeding.

10. Don’t get lipstick on your teeth. After applying put your finger in your mouth, purse your lips around it and slowly pull out. This removes any excess color.

Are we seeing double?

It always cracks me up when couples start looking like each other. It happens to the best of us and sometimes we don’t even realize it. Check these hot celeb couples looking alike. Demi & Ashton (Thanks US weekly)

Lady in Red….Tights, that is!

Tights usually make or try to make a comeback in the fall. This upcoming fall we will not be bored with your basic black. We are going RED! If your not ready to go red in full effect, you can wear the eye popping shades of red in moderation by combining them with subtle shades like browns and grays.  I love this trend because you don’t have to break the bank. Tights Can be found sometimes as  low as $6 at stores like Old Navy and Target.
