... (Sarah) Palin on Style Doggone it, I really hate to give Sarah Palin ink. No matter how much you try to tszuj her up in designer clothes, that beauty pageant up-do and trying to be elegant but dated scholarly look just ain’t rocking it for me. Yes, I did see the old school photos of her with the pitbull porn star brown lipliner too… wink, wink. Face it, I don’t think there is that much fashion in a darn sportsman (that’s pc for hunting, my friends) mall. You can try to style her up, but, there ‘ya go… Politics and Stuart Smalley catchphrases aside, Mrs. Palin is a bit pale in the innovative style department. Therefore, when her folksy

I’ve been seeing a lot of amazing hair accessories lately that put hats to shame. And what is great about them is that you suddenly have a covetable head of hair with little effort! Let's look to Project Runway's Kenley Collins for inspiration. Kenley has been sporting fabulous oversized feather hair accessories that keep her looking Betty Paige retro yet chic. The hair accessory trend started this summer when it was all about the thin braided hippie head wrap. You know you’ve seen it on everyone from Ashlee Simpson to your co-worker, and while that look is cute and ultra easy to pull off, its time for a change. Right now in Los Angeles, the ultimate fall-back comfy casual outfit

No, the powers that be were not amused. The Bruno character is an over-the-top Austrian fashionista who found his way backstage and then on the catwalk before he was ousted by security. According to The Huffington Post, Cohen did not have ID with him at the time of the scuffle. Oh, well, bet it’s as funny as a bear in the back of an ice cream truck, and we mean that

Life is Beautiful… NYC Graffiti to Inspire

"Life is Beautiful" East Village graffiti in the style of Andy Warhol. Larry King and Michael Jackson with Marilyn Monroe hair, and Alfred Hitchcock. Whenever I am away from NYC, no matter how amazing a place that my travels take me, I miss the grit, guts, and eclectic vibe that you can find when stepping outside your door.

Graffiti is
