I’ll Have What She’s Having: Madonna in menswear whites

Tailored, chic and an all white look you will want to try… I am not really a fan of photos of celebs taken when they are doing private things. But in Madonna’s case her life is like a breadcrumb trail in anticipation of her next great event. Seen leaving Saturday Kabbalah Services in New York this weekend, Madonna was spotted wearing an exceptional menswear look in traditional Kabbalah white. Too much of a fashionably good thing can be difficult to pull off. Both menswear can be tricky to wear without looking like a dragking and all white can be difficult to manage without looking like Nurse Ratchet, but Madonna knows how to get it right– timing and style should really

Men’s Style: Adrien Brody rocks the ‘Hairy Hipster’ look

Beards and greasy hair are taking over the downtown scene… Just last night while having dinner in SoHo, I counted seven men in deliberate need of a trim and, perhaps, a bottle of shampoo. The Hairy Hipster-cum-Geek-cum-Poet-cum-Anarchist look is on a fast rise from Williamsburg to NoLita to clear out of downtown New York. I admittedly have a cringe thing for extraneous ungroomed hair in any area, but come on guys, can you at least not look like you joined the army of the great unwashed??? How about an occasional beard trim to tidy up the edges, some hair wax to make your hair look piecey but not filthy, and a perfectly worn T-shirt– without the stains?? Huh, just asking.

Hula Hoop Mania: Hooping gets its sexy on

Travel Hoop by Hoopnotica, fun and portable fitness that is pretty sexy too! When Marisa Tomei said the best thing to achieve her super-hot stripper body for her role in “The Wrestler” was partly due to hula hooping, it was time to spill the beans as the resident hula hoop fanatic!

I can attest to its many benefits - I had the best abs of my life this summer much of which I do attribute to adding daily backyard hooping to my fitness regime. Hooping is also very meditative.

How to wear white in the winter

Winter Whites… Can you really wear a white dress in January? Hi! First off...LOVE YOU! Quick question-- it is currently the month of January, so the middle of the winter. Going along with the whole "don't wear white after Labor Day" thought, can you reallywear a white dress after Labor Day? I'm thinking about wearing a white dress with black buttons, a black belt, black tights, and black pumps. Is this okay? (Geismar, LA) Ah thanks, I love those who love me too (big wink)… LOL! White worn in the winter is more about its fabric rather than its shade, and, of course, the climate. It can be just the right color to transition you into spring or to brighten up
