Karina Smirnoff Spotted Out: Under the Dryer?
2008-08-21 00:03:00
"Dancing with the Stars" Karina Smirnoff  was spotted sitting under the dryer at B2V Salon in West Hollywood recently.  This pic is mad confusing to me.  #1, I wish somebody would snap a picture of me sitting under the dryer with a smock on, conditioner in my hair, no makeup on, and then try to put that picture on the Internet.  #2, why is she smiling about it?  Was this pic staged?  And #3, why would you stage a picture of yourself under the dryer with a smock on, conditioner in your hair and no makeup on? Why not stage a picture of yourself coming out of some trendy boutique looking thin and healthy, swinging your beautifully DONE hair like all the rest of them do it?! So many questions and not enough answers in this pic Karina. Seriously.

The Next Generation of Young Billionaires...
2008-08-20 23:33:00
http://hipcandy.blogspot.com/2008/08/next -generation-of-young-billionaires.htmlPot ential billionaires are getting younger as evidenced by Tyler Perry and Tiger Woods..When 32-year-old Tiger Woods returns to the links from a knee injury, he'll continue a financial rise that could crown him the first billionaire to make his money through sports. We predict it could happen as soon as 2011 because of Tiger's lucrative endorsement deals.The most recent Forbes Celebrity 100 list estimated that 38-year-old entertainer Tyler Perry banked $125 million last year. The talented Perry, who produces, directs and acts in his creations, earned more than Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise and Bon Jovi combined. Building a billion-dollar fortune in the entertainment business is extraordinarily rare but certainly not impossible, as evidenced by Steven Spielberg, worth an estimated $3 billion, and George Lucas, worth an estimated $3.9 billion.Read the rest of "Billionaires : The Next Generation " here.

Janet Jackson to Launch Lingerie Line...
2008-08-20 21:46:00
The R&B diva is taking a page from Jennifer Lopez's empire-expanding book and has announced plans to launch Pleasure Principle, her own line of lingerie, come November."People have come to me with other ideas, but lingerie is a passion for me, and just like music and acting, I can't do it unless I put 100 percent into it," Jackson said.Jackson's 14-design line of underpinnings, crafted mainly from satin and lace and heavy on feminine details, will be available in department stores and mass retailers this fall, with each piece priced at under $40."It makes you feel incredible and offers variety as diverse as the women who will wear it," Jackson said of the line, named after her 1987 hit.After making its U.S. debut this fall, the line will launch in Australia, Japan and Europe, with the Jackson-Schiavi team looking ahead to more collaborations in the future.Along with its focus on prettiness, however, the Pleasure Principle line has also taken some pains to ensure comfort."Ther...

Top Fashion Designers Create for Obama...
2008-08-20 18:14:00
The Barack Obama campaign, which has been actively courting the fashion industry, has coordinated some 20 or so designers who are creating official merchandise for the candidate's Web site (that's Tracy Reese's T-shirt design on the left which will retail for about $80). It is the first time, as far as Seventh Avenue long-timers can recall, that a quorum of the fashion industry has organized its financial resources and creative energy around a single presidential candidate.The mix, available online next month, ranges from T-shirts to tote bags and will lend a bit of runway panache to the Obama brand. The list of participating designers, which includes Derek Lam, Isaac Mizrahi, Tracy Reese, Charles Nolan and Diane von Furstenberg, covers the full spectrum of the market, from high-end to inexpensive. Other names have been bandied about but not confirmed: Beyoncé, Russell Simmons, Michael Bastian, Vera Wang.  The benefit to the candidate is a direct line to the "Project Runway" crow...

There Was No Fashion Camp When I Was Growing Up!
2008-08-20 05:49:00
I was in my 4th year of college working towards a marketing degree before I realized that I didn't want to be a business major.  My passion was fashion!  So I quit the university and jetted off to design school in L.A. Better late than never right?  So naturally, I think a "fashion camp" for young girls who are trying to figure things out for themselves is a great idea, especially if fashion is a strong and undeniable interest.

I know I haven't mentioned the Olympics in Berlin since my post on Team America wearing Ralph Lauren, but I've been watching it enough. Enough to know that Michael Phelps couldn't be stopped!  That and the female gymnasts from China did look a little young.  Anyhoo, peep the Nike ad below with Marvin Gaye singing the National Anthem, looking and sounding cooler than everybody, along with the U.S. Basketball Team (The "Redeem Team").  Nice.  Marvin Gaye is certainly in the category of being taken away from us way too soon...More on the legendary Marvin Gaye here.

Big Plans to BAN Size 0 Models Comes to an END.
2008-08-15 18:56:00
"Oh well!  The whole 'ban on skinny models' thing that we had planned isn't really working, sooo we're just gonna go ahead and scrap that whole idea..." That's basically what this article says in a nutshell.  Unbelievable.An initiative to banish "size zero" models from Britain's catwalks has been abandoned after other fashion capitals refused to follow London's lead.The planned requirement for models to obtain a doctor's certificate proving that they were in good health had stong government support. But it was feared that models would boycott London Fashion Week, and New York, Paris and Milan said that the measure was unworkable.Hilary Riva, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, will confirm that the scheme is being dropped in an open letter to the industry today.Ms Riva blamed impracticalities in implementing the health certificate plan, a feeling among models that it discriminated against them and a lack of support from industry bodies in the other fashion capita...

Meet Michelle Obama Dress Designer, Maria Pinto..
2008-08-15 15:18:00
Though she is not Mrs. Obama 's exclusive dressmaker, Ms. Pinto, a designer known for luxuriant evening wear, is a favorite of Mrs. Obama, who wore buzzed-about Pinto creations when her husband announced his candidacy and on the night of the notorious fist-bump before his speech claiming the Democratic nomination, among other occasions.....She met Mrs. Obama a few years ago through a friend. "Michelle came in just like everyone else and said: 'I need a few dresses. I need a suit for work,' " Ms. Pinto said.As Mrs. Obama?s fashion presence has risen, so has that of Ms. Pinto, a former Geoffrey Beene assistant. After 16 years in the business, she opened her first boutique Tuesday night in the arty West Loop, near downtown Chicago. Was the timing fortuitous?Ms. Pinto said the shop was in the works for at least a year. ?We?re not Balenciaga, we?re not Gucci,? she said, ?so it?s great that there are women that are free thinkers that come to us and help us establish the brand.?  [Source...
