Copper Eye Shadow

GET THE LOOK: Apricot-copper lids give light eyes more pop. But nothing makes a brown-eyed girl sizzle like deep cooper eye makeup. Sweep pale beige shadow from lashlines to crease. Apply copper in the creases, and add a touch right under your brow bones to highlight your bone structure.

INSIDER TRICK: Adding a darker shade into the crease of your lids give the eyes more dimension. To get deeper into the crease, lightly press a tapered shadow brush along the area from corner to corner.

The Oscars had 40 million viewers. This could be the first year that non-American actors won the major acting awards. Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor award and Tilda Swinton had the best supporting actress award. They are British. Marion Cotillard, from France, won the Best Actress. Javier Bardem, from Spain, won the Best Supporting Actor. Daniel Day-Lewis did a big show of receiving his award from Dame Helen Mirren. He got down on one knee and pretended that he was being knighted. Tilda Swinton appeared shocked at her win and could not assemble a speech in her head well. Marion Cotillard wept tears of joy when she won. It was an emotional night for the winners, presenters and everyone else who attended or watched the Oscars.

Victoria Beckham 'worst-dressed celebrity'

2008-02-05T17:08:00.001-08:00

As seen on Bestofbeckham.com's Blog

Victoria Beckham, who markets sunglasses and jeans under her own designer label, has been judged the world’s worst-dressed celebrity by a leading fashion guru.
Acid-tongued Richard Blackwell, who was designing dresses for the rich and famous when he started the list in 1960, attacked entertainment’s biggest stars in his compilation of fashion disasters for 2007.

It is the second time Mrs Beckham has made an appearance in the list’s number one slot.

In 1998 she featured along with her Spice Girl band mates who were derided by Mr Blackwell as "the only spices on the planet that have no taste."

And the 85-year-old LA-based designer still had plenty of venom to heap on the mother-of-three this year.

He said: "Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em."

Other stars listed for their fashion disasters included singers Amy Winehouse, Fergie, Kelly Clarkson and Jessica Simpson, Bond girl Eva Green and actress Lindsay Lohan.
Missing from the list was Britney Spears, who has made it many times before.

"I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her," Blackwell said.

His best-dressed list for 2007, which is not ranked, included Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes, Katherine Heigl and Prince William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton.

Richard Blackwell started his own clothing line, The House of Blackwell, in the 1950s and dressed actresses Jayne Mansfield and Jane Russell as well as first lady Nancy Reagan, among other famous names.

He was an important designer and during the 1960s he became the first in history to present his line on a television broadcast; and the first to make his line available for plus-size women.

The emergence of casual-wear in the 1980s brought an end to his fashion-line.

He is now best known as a fashion journalist and for producing his annual best and worst dressed lists every January.

The top 10 roll-call of fashion dishonours is:
1. Victoria Beckham
2. Amy Winehouse
3. Mary Kate Olsen
4. Fergie
5. Kelly Clarkson
6. Eva Green
7. Avril Lavigne
8. Jessica Simpson
9. Lindsay Lohan
10. Alison Arngrim

Dressing for Dating

Dating Tips .. Dress style.

You might have not ever thought about your "dating dress style" but this is 21st century and you need to keep pace with what the world is doing. What is your "dating dressing style" will have a impact on your date.

Remember the taste or nature of your date is very important while you decide that what is appropriate. If your date is serious type, you probably don't want "over power" them too soon. But maybe you do :) First, color and colorfulness is one aspect.

Take pink for instance. For girls pink goes naturally and is associated with "wholesome". While men wearing pink could send different messages (e.g, secure in masculinity, flair for color, daring, etc).

Another color for the dating can be red. Red is the color signifying action, power, passion, romance, sexuality, etc. Again, style of clothing and shoes matters when mixed with color. A woman wearing a fitted low cut red dress in heals is a different message than red turtleneck shirt with a slacks and black blazer.

As mentioned above, style of your clothes on your date matters. We all know sexy, conservative and successful. We also know notice many other things too :). Don't contradict your appear. Too often I hear woman say "he kept looking at my cleavage" and he was rather aggressive for a first date. In some cases maybe that low cut dress or baby-doll shirt was more YOUR fault. If you send a sexual vibe sometimes that is what you get back.

What you choose to wear includes more than clothing. Watches, pens and jewelry can also block getting to know someone. Wearing a Rolex or using a Monte Blanc can be fine -- it's the attitude you hold toward them: Is it important to you that your date notice them, or not?

As you stand in front of your closet deciding what to wear on your date here's a guiding principle you may find helpful: dress in an attractive but not attracting way. Not only does dressing in a manner that de-emphasizes your body, it conveys a confidence that you like who you really are and that there's more to you than meets the eye. And this type of confidence is attractive to others.

While physical attraction and often financial responsibility are important, they alone cannot sustain a lifelong marriage. And they are typically not reliable indicators regarding the potential for lasting love. So, it's key that you and your date get to know each other beyond the superficial before deciding to invest significant time with each other -- otherwise you risk temporarily falling for someone you later realize is not for you.

Celebrity Vacation Spots

Do you spend your days staring longingly at glossy shots of celebrities lounging poolside?

Well, it's not too hard to join them.

Travel experts say there are a lot of tropical destinations you can go to that aren't very expensive, but let you vacation like a movie star nonetheless.

Florianapolis, an island off the coast of Southern Brazil, is the next "it" destination for celebrities, and it's still affordable for the rest of us, according to Jason Harper, editor at concierge.com, the companion Web site to Conde Nast Traveler.

“It’s the kind of spot where a lot of supermodels end up going,” Harper said, adding that Gisele Bundchen and her current surfer beau Kelly Slater have frequented Floripa, as it’s more commonly called. “It’s a hot surfing spot, so a lot of those people hang at the local bars.”

Heidi Montag, it’s Against the Law to Even Look at Her

Apparently, even judges and law abiding citizens think even looking at Heidi Montag should be illegal.

During court proceedings in Rowan County, N.C., Judge Kevin Eddinger caught lawyer Todd Paris checking out a Maxim magazine with the topless Heidi Montag on its cover. The judge was so steamed about it, he threw the book (not the mag) at the attorney.

Salisbury Post reports,

"A Rowan County District Court judge held a local attorney in contempt Wednesday for reading a men’s magazine during a court session, according to a contempt order filed in the Rowan County Clerk of Court’s Office.

Judge Kevin Eddinger found Salisbury attorney Todd Paris in contempt after he saw him reading a Maxim magazine with “a female topless model” on the cover, according to the order. When Eddinger gave Paris a chance to respond he apologized and “stated in his view the magazine was not pornography, was available at local stores and that he did not intend contempt,” the order said.

Eddinger fined Paris $300, gave him a 15 day suspended jail sentence that remains in effect for a year and placed him on unsupervised probation, according to the order. In order to explain the disruption, the judge showed the cover to the courtroom, and to no surprise — the crowd erupted in laughter."

Miss Michigan Crowned Miss America

2008-01-27T08:19:00.000-08:00

LAS VEGAS - Miss Michigan Kirsten Haglund, a 19-year-old aspiring Broadway star, was crowned Miss America 2008 on Saturday in a live show billed as the unveiling of the 87-year-old pageant’s new, hipper look.

Haglund, of Farmington Hills, Mich., sang “Over the Rainbow” and walked a crowd-pleasing strut in a black and gold bikini to clinch the title. She beat Miss Indiana Nicole Elizabeth Rash, the first runner up, and Miss Washington Elyse Umemoto, the second runner up for the $50,000 scholarship and year of travel that comes with the crown.

Haglund, who studies music at the University of Cincinnati, grew up in a pageant family. Her mother is an active volunteer, and her grandmother Iora Hunt, competed for the crown as Miss Michigan 1944. Hunt joined Haglund at a news conference.

“The only words that come to my mind is that this is a dream come true, not just for me but for my family as well,” Haglund said. “I’m not just standing up here alone.”

Haglund, a cheery, classic blond, wore a revealing silver sequined dress and black bikini during the evening gown and swimsuit portions of the pageant. As her platform issue, she promised to advocate for awareness of eating disorders, an illness from which she has recovered.

The crowning at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip was aired for the first time on TLC. It capped a four-week reality series, “Miss America: Reality Check,” which followed the contestants as they were pushed to shed the dated look of Miss Americas past and adopt a more updated style.

The show was the latest in a series of attempts to find an audience with a younger demographic after more than a decade of declining ratings.

The 52 newly made-over aspiring beauty queens who sought the top tiara sported updated hairdos, sassy attitudes and red carpet-worthy fashion throughout the competition.

Usually tame by modern TV standards, the swimwear competition kicked it up a notch. Most contestants wore black bikinis, and some struck provocative poses and twirled as the audience howled. Contestants also wore blue jeans and added a bit of humor to the traditional opening number, the parade of states.

Haglund’s moves won howls from the audience. “I think for the audience, the swimwear and evening wear was much more entertaining, am I right?” Haglund said when asked about the show’s new look.

The changes included a chance for “Reality Check” viewers to text message votes for their favorite contestant. Miss Utah, Jill Stevens, an Army medic who served in Afghanistan, was named “America’s Choice.”

Stevens did not make to the final 10, but she took the disappointment with pluck. She dropped and gave the audience push ups before joining the other losers on a riser on the side.

Producers added a twist to the interview portion, as well. They asked people on the street to pose questions, and the results were edgier than usual. Contestents were asked about binge drinking, HIV and Britney Spears’ pregnant younger sister, Jamie Lynn.

“No I don’t think she should be fired,” Miss Indiana Nicole Elizabeth Rash said. “They’re still people, they’re still human beings. We all deserve second chances.”

The long-struggling pageant had promised a new look for this year’s beauty battle. “Entertainment Tonight” reporter Mark Steines was the master of ceremonies of the show. Clinton Kelly of TLC’s hit “What Not to Wear” also helped with the hosting duties. Kelly had instructed the girls on how to update their looks during the reality show.

The pageant sounded different, too. A deejay spun dance music from turntables set up on stage. Contestants danced and waved to the audience during commercials breaks. The losers were seated on risers on one side of the stage, while the parents of the finalists, in black tie, were seated on the other.

The show was the latest in a series of attempts to find a new audience after more than a decade of declining ratings. The fading institution was dropped from network television in 2004. It spent a two-year stint on Country Music Television before being picked up last summer by TLC, a cable channel reaching 93 million homes in the U.S.

TLC added the pageant to its reality-TV stable, and announced plans to reinvent the look of the show and find an “It girl” ready for modern celebrity.

In addition to the $50,000 scholarship, Haglund will embark on a year of promoting the pageant, her platform issue and the Children’s Miracle Network, a pageant partner.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Whether you have had cosmetic surgery, are considering cosmetic surgery, or just enjoy watching one of the many cosmetic surgery television shows, you probably know about the countless types of procedures offered today. However, what many people do not realize is that doctors must make special considerations when working on patients of different ethnicities.

In recent years, cosmetic surgery has become overwhelmingly popular across all races and ethnic groups. According to the American Society for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, since 1997, the overall number of cosmetic surgical procedures has increased by 544 percent, with Botox leading the way. Twenty percent of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States are on patients from darker racial ethnic groups. Hispanics represent the majority of that group followed by African Americans, Asians, and other minorities.

London, Jan 14 : Having spent a fortune on clothes for years, Victoria Beckham has finally cemented her place as a style icon - she will be soon seen on the cover of Vogue magazine's British edition.

"The cover will be on the April issue of Vogue and the magazine is planning to dedicate 12 pages to her.

Hot Looks For 2008

2008-01-06T19:30:00.000-08:00

(CBS) With 2007 all but over, you're probably thinking ahead to what you might be wearing in 2008.

On The Early Show Monday, Suze Yalof Schwartz,executive fashion editor-at-large of Glamour magazine, offered a sneak preview of next year's chic, "in" looks.

All the outfits Schwartz spotlighted can easily be incorporated in your existing wardrobe.

She didn't focus on prices as much outfits typifying trends.

Schwartz says the key to being a great shopper is to not only focus on the current season's trends, but the ones going forward.

The top trends she sees for the 2008 spring season include:

LOOK 1: MENSWEAR + SHINE

Mixing masculine and feminine isn't news, but stealing your boyfriend's blazer and throwing it over a sequin t-shirt dress is! Though this look certainly isn't office-appropriate, it definitely works.

SPORTCOAT -- Phillip Lim (wool/cashmere blend)
DRESS -- Banana Republic (sequins)
BAG -- Banana Republic
SHOES -- Stuart Weitzman

LOOK 2: RUFFLES + PINK

This look exemplifies the message of spring / summer 2008. The ruffled sleeve detail is a touch of 1940s glamour that feels modern in 2008. Add to it a high-waisted, above-the-knee skirt in the season's most important color -- pink!

TOP + SKIRT -- Khoon Hooi (silk blend)
BAG -- Hollywould for Target
SHOES -- Stuart Weitzman for ScoopNYC

LOOK 3: FLORAL ANY AND EVERYTHING + THE NEW PANT

Flowers never go away, but they can't be hotter than they are this season. The new shape pant is still straight, but cropped above the ankle. A pair of high heels gives a modern twist.

TOP -- DVF at Bloomingdale's (silk)
BAG -- Hollywould for Target
PANTS -- Theory at Bloomingdale's (wool and polyester)
SHOES -- Steven by Steve Madden

LOOK 4: ASSYMETRICAL TOPS + FULL SKIRTS

Give 'em the cold shoulder: This top is great paired with jeans and skirts, and will be a great transitional piece from winter to spring. A high-waist full skirt. touching just above the knee, is both the cut and length du jour.

TOP -- Banana Republic (cashmere)
BAG -- Rafe
SKIRT -- Club Monaco (silk and cotton)
SHOES -- closet

LOOK 5: THE ART--INSPIRED DRESS

Stefano Pilati created a movement when this dress appeared in his 2008 Cruise Collection, then magically appeared in spring collections all over the globe. Don't be surprised if you're walking through stores and feel like you're walking through an art museum; many of the season's pieces have been inspired by both modern and classic artists.

The Tie, Makes a come back!

2007-12-30T17:26:00.000-08:00

(CBS/Early Show) The latest breakout style in men's apparel is a trip back to the future.

It's -- the necktie.

For awhile, men were cutting ties with the necktie, and it slipped out of vogue.

But now, reports Seth Doane, it's hip to be retro.

Younger men, in particular, are taking to the growing trend, Doane says.

He observes that, while many politicians are going sans tie in an attempt to appeal to a younger audience, young men have been putting them back on. Ties are almost a cover-page uniform on magazine covers this week; they're on TV; and they're on the likes of J-T -- Justin Timberlake, among other celebs.

Says GQ Style Editor Adam Rapoport: "It's about attitude, it's about style, it's about flair. It's not about looking button-down."

David Beckham has an open attitude. His latest ad for Giorgio Armani shows his maximum exposure in a number of ways. Many writers have asked the open question. Is this ad for real? Were there any additional props or air brushing techniques?

Armani said that David Beckham was chosen because he represented modern masculinity. He liked David because he was an icon; being a sports super star, husband and father, all rolled into one package.

David’s spokesman was asked if the image had been enhanced and he unknowingly gave a clue when he said, “No comment.”

Beckham gets £20m to take his kit off

David Beckham has signed a £20 million deal to become the new global ambassador of fashion house Giorgio Armani.

The LA Galaxy star will front a new underwear campaign in a series of billboard and fashion magazine adverts from the start of next year.

The three-year deal, in which Beckham, 32, will receive an annual fee plus royalties, is unprecedented for any sportsman and will cement his status as the world's best paid footballer.

It is Beckham's first formal clothing contract and part of an overall strategy by his management company 19 Entertainment to maximise his earnings during the final few years of his playing career.

Britney Spears’ friends protected her from knowing that she made Maxim’s list for the top 5 unsexiest women. However, they had to tell Britney the truth when she wanted to gate crash Maxim’s party for the launch of a video game. Her camp did not want Britney to feel insulted if people approached her and discussed about this sensitive subject.

A source said that Britney almost broke down in tears when she was told the news. Apparently, Britney had a good opinion of Maxim because of her past experiences working for the magazine. She thought that Maxim loved her. She wanted to ask for an apology from Maxim.

Maxim has published another list. This list is about celebrities who smell or look like they have odors.
