I’ll Have What She’s Having: Jane Fonda, Aspirational Ageless Beauty

If you are going to resemble someone, best be a beauty who sustains… I have the kind of face that people find some kindred association.

The celebrities seem to range far and wide and are more dependent on the age of the person who initiated the comparison rather than a direct relevance to me. It's been insisted that I resemble Terri Hatcher, Sigourney Weaver, Brittany Murphy, and Frances McDormand. When I permed my hair it was Marie Schnieder from her Last Tango in Paris days– boy, that image sticks in the mind of some men. There

Makeup Junkie: Limited edition cosmetics can be better than fantasizing about a one-night stand!

M.A.C. Cosmetics Sugarsweet Collection, back with a very available past love… Any woman who has ever fantasized about a steamy one night stand with a celebrity will understand my love of limited edition cosmetics. You know what I mean– you’re at a bar, you lock eyes with Brad Pitt (or George Clooney, or whoever the hottie du jour is), and immediately you know that this is it, your chance for one amazing evening with him– this chance will never ever come again– and you’ll probably never see him again afterwards. Now, stick with me here for a moment, as I compare this to my favorite lipstick. Last year, as part of their Heatherette Collection, MAC introduced Lollipop Lovin’. Now, I’m

Beauty Book Review: Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray…

A Novel Beauty Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray, a novel beauty book review In a seemingly flawless macrocosm of pretty good reads, Sapien bookcases vertically riddled with cutesy tomes from interns who gab too much or stay-at-homes who discover their latent editrix by a steady diet of watching fashion TV.

Badgley/Sneed Designs Gossip Girl jewelry What's utterly divine, rich with intrigue, terribly chic, and quite addictive? "Gossip Girl," of course! As well as its mama-lode of fabulous jewels.

Good-bye to a fashion era, Mr. Blackwell dies

Mr. Blackwell: 1922-2008   He was our favorite be-atch. We’ve been covering his Worst Dressed Fashion List with glee for years. While we may not have always agreed with Mr. Blackwell, we certainly enjoyed the chuckle.   Mr. Blackwell was the forerunner of the celebrity fashion zingers and without him paving the way, who knows, maybe Joan Rivers would be as sweet as a pageant girl in front of the judges. Here are some Blackwell bites from his Worst Dressed List over the years:   Donatella Versace: “Time to toss the peroxide once and for all . . . She resembles a flash-fried Venus, stuck in a Miami Strip Mall!” Camilla Parker-Bowles: “In feathered hats that were once the rage,
