Can a brunette ever go blonde without looking brassy?

March 1st, 2011 by Georgia Gloucester

FROM the flirty flicks of a “Rachel” to long, lustrous tresses, Jennifer Aniston’s hair is her crowning glory.

And with a new movie to promote and a hot, young co-star to upstage, Jen did the only thing a self-respecting diva could do she hit the bottle.

Sporting a wispy ash-blonde bob, Aniston has divided critics this week and raised the question: Can a brunette ever go blonde without looking brassy?

As a lifelong brunette, I too have wondered if blondes have more fun.

And finally I decided to find out. My mission is to achieve a classic blonde look that’s more flash than trash.

February 25th, 2011 by Chloe Charlton

Anietra Hamper owes the IRS some money after she tried to deduct a variety of expenses.

A former Central Ohio news anchor is learning the hard way that cotton thongs are not tax deductible.

Anietra Hamper landed in court after claiming a variety of beauty-related expenses on her tax return, including manicures, teeth whitening, gym fees, sportswear, bedding, cotton bikini underwear and thongs she insisted were necessary to do her job.

The 38-year-old spent quite a lot of cash on her appearance too, according to the lawsuit.

A collision.

Tonight I realized something about myself I use words too much.

I started working on this image of Samantha and I saw something that wasnt there.  I found a blank sheet of paper and a pen I accidentally stole from the bank and started sketching.  All angel wings.  Different styles, until on the third or fourth sketch I tried just wiggly lines.

Then the image spoke to me.  Ive been having several deep conversations with many people this week and in almost every one of them the topic has brushed on the work of unseen angels amongst us.

I sincerely believe there are angels amongst us.  Do you?

Heres to hoping we all have the courage to act on our personal discoveries.

Dedicated to one of my favorite models.  She knows.

After starting this blog post I noticed the similarity to one of Ryan Muirheads masterpieces.  Re-posted here without his permission.  (he can sue me if he wants but Id counter sue him for the $80 filter I bought from him that still hasnt been delivered.  EDIT: Ryan immediately wrote me claiming he brought me the filter, the matter is currently under investigation.

Sun poll: 4 in 10 Brits want cosmetic surgery

February 24th, 2011 by Georgia Gloucester

THE death of student Claudia Aderotimi after a botched buttock implant raised ugly questions about our obsession with beauty.

Last year Brits spent a staggering 2.3billion on cosmetic surgery.

One in five of us want to get our teeth whitened after seeing X Factor judge Cheryl Cole’s brightened smile.

And one in four of us would consider procedures such as liposuction, boob jobs or face lifts.

But we DON’T want to end up looking like silicon-enhanced Katie Price, according to a YouGov poll of 2,630 adults exclusively for The Sun.

Worryingly, 16 per cent of those questioned said they would go abroad for cut-price surgery.
