If you’re like me, you’ve given up the ‘fake bake’ at the tanning salon, and are considering a Spray Tan.
Well, here’s a look into the life of a Spray Tanner..
Dealing with celeb tantrums, supermodel cellulite, and horn-dog men — it’s all in a day’s work for this woman. Brace yourself as she spills her candid, colorful stories. As told to J. Courtney Sullivan.
Read on:
Christie Brinkley and Alexa Ray Joel reportedly did some mother-daughter bonding earlier this month — over plastic surgery. Star magazine claims that Brinkley had a mini face-lift, while doctors performed a nose job on 24-year-old Alexa.
Brinkley hasn’t commented on her supposed procedure, but Alexa confirmed her surgery.
Here’s the latest from Christy Brinkley and her camp:
Christie Brinkley denied rumors that she had a facelift at the same time her daughter Alexa was in the hospital getting a nose job. Her rep told the New York Post, “Alexa had breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum and decided to correct the appearance of her nose at the same time. As far as Christie is concerned, she was at Lenox Hill to support her daughter, and throughout her career people have speculated that she’s done this or that, which she always chooses to take as a compliment.”
Everyone is looking to save money. Think of how much you spend on cosmetics…UGGH! I found this article on line, it lists a few products we can easily, go without!
All brides wear white, right? Except for in China or Vietnam, where they usually wear red. In ancient Rome, a man’s class was signified by the border color on his toga, and only nobility wore purple. Lucille Ball was known for her fiery red hair, and Marilyn Monroe was just Norma Jeane Baker until she swapped her brunet locks for platinum blond.
Some women are bold with color, others more tentative, but most agree that there’s nothing more chic or slimming than basic black. However, unrelenting black can get boring and drain your complexion of any color — especially during those long winter months.
Though we frequently hear that gray/brown/navy is the new black, it would seem that most women still embrace black as the perennial, practical and flattering favorite. Pantone Color Institute’s resident color expert, Leatrice Eiseman, says that while black will never go out of style, the challenge is making it look fresh and new. If you usually pair black pants with a black sweater, try adding a pop of color in the form of a fun scarf, several vintage brooches or even a sweater with bright detailing at the neck. If you’re stuck someplace snowy, liven up your winter coat with a punchy pair of colorful snow boots.
The color to watch for this year, according to the Pantone Institute, is turquoise. This soothing mix between blue and green symbolizes serenity, hope and optimism. In many cultures, turquoise is also seen as a protective color. In Greece and many countries in the Middle East, a bright blue eye worn as a charm is thought to protect one from the evil eye.
Turquoise is flattering to most hair colors and complexions, so if you have pieces of Native American-inspired jewelry with turquoise stones, now is the time to bring them back into heavy rotation. Or, to update basic blue jeans, try a bold cuff, a dangling pair of earrings or even layering several necklaces with varying sizes of turquoise beads.
You don’t have to make over your entire wardrobe, but adding key shots of color can make you look and feel less frumpy and more fashionable. Slowly adding color to your wardrobe can update even your most basic key pieces.
How do you know which colors flatter you most? Eiseman says that most people have a sense of what works for them. “If you try something on and your first reaction is negative, pay attention. Your comfort level is what matters — you need to feel good in it.” Eiseman also advises looking at other dark colors to make you appear slimmer. “Dark compresses size, so even purple, plums, aubergine or very dark brown still does the same thing for you that black does.”
Just in case you’re feeling a little insecure about adding some color, Eiseman reminds us that while it’s good to have style advice from experts, the bottom line is that you have to “balance it by how color makes you feel. Color is emotion.”
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly the latest celebrity to launch a signature fragrance. WWD.com reports that Aniston is expected to reveal a partnership with Falic Group, who is producing Eva Longoria Parker’s soon-to-debut signature scent.
Famous women with signature scents include Britney Spears, Sarah Jessica Parker and Reese Witherspoon.
Hmm, do I really want a scent that will attract guys that are gonna do me wrong?? Thanks Jen, but I can do THAT all by myself !
That’s Hollywood gloss for “Dead Celebrity”.Well, maybe you can…
A venture that uses the DNA from Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and other dead celebrities to mix up personality-driven fragrances is getting more than a whiff of publicity – but if you’re expecting a touch of “Marilyn” to make you smell like the real Marilyn, you have no nose for science.
MyDNAFragrance’s “Antiquity” line of perfumery appears to be the latest marketing gimmick driven by genetics, along the lines of DNA art, protein-coded music and (heh, heh) celebrity DNA samples.

MyDNAFragrance can do the same thing with your own DNA, as NBC’s TODAY Show pointed out last year.
One of the most interesting parts of the process has to do with the source of the celebrity DNA. It turns out that the analysis was done on historical hair samples held by the University Archives’ John Reznikoff, who also deals in collectible documents. Reznikoff is said to have the world’s largest collection of celebrity hair - including clippings from Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon and moonwalker Neil Armstrong.
Naomi Campbell dons a sable fur coat for a new Dennis Basso ad campaign.
Funny, I seem to remember Ms Campbell posing nude in a “No Fur” ad for PETA. Guess a lot can change in 15 years, like your principles.
