The Wall Street Journal has a story headlined, “Very Bright Lipstick, All the Time.” In it, Elizabeth Holmes writes: “In the beauty world’s eternal cycle between eyes and lips, it’s lipstick’s moment.

Stacy Lomman’s Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod World
Gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman presented her Fall 2012 collection on February 16. The “Modern World” looks of this collection — her fourth — were inspired by ’60s Mod, especially Courrèges, who is a longtime fashion hero of Stacy’s.

I couldn’t decide…

The book covers Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, the…
Need a Laugh? Try Stewie and Peter From Family Guy.
This Family Guy clip is guaranteed to make me laugh no matter what kind of mood I’m in. It’s from an episode in which Peter (the dad) gets in touch with his feminine side. Stewie’s reaction to being breastfed is among my favorite Family Guy moments. It’s a very “2 Girls 1 Cup” response. Family…

I’ve been fascinated by celebrity-by-association Amber Rose since she and her blonde Sinead O’Connor hairdo popped up on various red carpets with ex-boyfriend Kanye West. I took notice late last year when she did a sex-ay commercial for Smirnoff‘s Whipped Cream and Fluffed Marshmallow vodkas. Amber Rose PLUS whipped-cream-flavor alcohol? Sign me up. I did…
“Monday, Monday, Ba-Da, Ba-Da-Da-Da”

But you can read the weekend posts if you like: March’s Jewel of the Month, plus thoughts about Spartacus. Better late than never: Valentine’s Day outfit post. And here’s a…
