Remember that green emerald dress worn by Channing Tatums wife, Jenna Dewan, at the Golden Globes this year? I liked it it was daringly different and who doesnt love a princess gown with long train? It appears that (one) Jenna Dewan, Katherine Heigl and Vanessa Hudgens share the same stylist; or (two) both Katherine and Vanessa love a good princess gown with long train (wink). Either way, all three were wearing very similar dresses from the same designer Maria Lucia Hohan. Katherine Heigl’s Gray Dress Vs. Vanessa Hudgens’ Yellow Dress

We all love a good model cover. However, Vogue Chinas March 2012 Cover is so bad, Id rather see a celebrity cover instead of it any day! Besides, Vogue China doesnt care much about being original someone must have heard that wed love to see a model on the cover of Vogue. So they decided to double the pleasure (we do love Isabeli Fontana and Natasha Poly, but this photo is tasteless)! (can you please stop, Vogue China? Use your imagination, fashion is all about creativity, not repetition!) Isabeli Fontana, Natasha Poly Cover Vogue China March 2012

Good morning campers! Last week I boggled your overwhelmed minds with this deathless – or at least undead – image: … and you came back swinging with five gloriously giggle-worthy responses. In the end, though, there can be but one. This week it’s the freshly laundered marvel for managing to be so clean and yet so dirty with this gem of product placement: Florence was pleasantly surprised to discover that her new Maytag came with its own repairman. Congratulations, marvel! And thanks to everyone who played.

From Ricky & Nicki Viva Glam Swatch via Beauty and Fashion Tech I love Ricky Martin! He has teamed up with Nicki Minaj for this springs Viva MAC. The Nicki lipstick is a hot rose pink that can pair with a Ricky Martin colourless tube Lip Conditioner for a bit of gloss. I really like MAC‘s lip conditioner. It is a nice basicmoisturizingtube gloss.   Below is a swatch of the lipstick with the conditioner over it taken in fairly low level natural light by a window (cloudy, no bright sun). This is really a rather chameleon color. In brighter light it looks much lighter pink, but under indoor light it looks darker. The swatch is how it appears generally in lower light. Adding the conditioner doesnt change the shade at all, it just glosses it up a bit. Otherwise, the lipstick is rather matte. 100% of the earnings from Viva Glam supports the MAC AIDS FUND, a very worthy cause. Get it at Maccosmetics.com beginning around February 15.

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s late column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’m a teacher at an all-girls high school. I need a pair of low-key heels to wear to Prom, graduation and a family wedding this spring. Something that will not break the bank. Kristen Manolo says, oh, how the Manolo well remembers the night of the grand prom at his alma mater, Our Lady of the Flaming Spleen Country Day School (who motto is still The Wrathful Word Turneth Away Evil). How could anyone forget Sister Assumpta, looking like Ernest Borgnine in the wimple, standing at one side of the gymnasium dance floor, armed with something like the lifeguards hook, the long pole with the crook on the end. If, during the slow jam, the bodies of the couples drifted too closely together, or the hand of the boy slipped too far down the back of the girl, Sister Assumpta would make her presence known, using her shepherds crook to forcefully yank the pair of would-be lovers back to propriety. Of the course, the Manolo never had any problems on that score, indeed, for the young Manolo the prom was less about the slow-dancing with the girls, and more about the sartorial splendor. Finally, the Manolos customary Neo-Edwardian morning coat, embroidered waistcoat, and spats had found the appreciative audience! Look here is the Wystere from AK Anne Klein, the nude patent pump that will work well for the graduation and the wedding, and will not the bank break.
