Kanye West Crying ... It is a miracle or a hoax?
Though Jay may be hitting a little below the belt with the mom questions!

And Obama tells it like it is- this is why I love the Boss Man President, he's just so real!

Lips of an Angel

Newly Established Purple Lab debuts on the beauty scene

with lipgloss line Huge Lips Skinny Hips !



"Huge Lips, Skinny Hips is the answer to every girl's beauty dreams," says Purple Lab creator Karen Robinovitz (or creatrix as she has so aptly deemed herself). Made with ingredients like Vitamin B3, which stimulates blood flow to the surface of the lips, diminishing wrinkles and fine lines, and Hoodia Gordoni extract, a natural appetite suppressant found in South Africa, the lip gloss collection works wonders on your lips and your waistline!



Robinovitz, former Contributing Editor at both Marie Claire and Elle magazines, as well as published author (she wrote How to Become FAMOUS in Two Weeks or Less, released in 2003), has seen her fair share of beauty products. She set out, she says, to create "something [for] my lips that would plump them instead of my hips... I [wished] my lipgloss was an appetite suppresant," and after many hours in the lab, Huge Lips, Skinny Hips was born!

"It's the perfect secret weapon for surviving cocktail parties without succumbing to all the hors d'oeuvres," says Karen of her new appetite-suppressing lipgloss.

In inspiring flavors, including Love Your Thighs, a redish coral, and Worship Kate, a glittery mauve inspired by always glamorous Kate Moss, the glosses look and taste great, and the doe applicator and small packaging means you can be chic, and craving-free, on the go and for only $20 - Thanks Karen!

Try No Panty Lines over your favorite lipstick, or on it's own for a naturally plump look!

Don't Miss: Lychee Martini - while it may all be in my head, I have found that the sweet flavor of liquid lychees will make me forget about any carb or candy I may be craving! Just like a stick of Juicyfruit gum, the gloss will help you avoid that afternoon sugar search, except in this case you won't be caught chomping on gum during your class, cocktail party, or client meeting!

You can find Huge Lips, Skinny Hips at SCOOP NYC - collect all 6 for a variety of calorie-free flavors at your disposal!



Peace and Love,

Evil Woman

After looking at the major trends of strength, power, and fearlessness in the forefront of the fall fashion scene, it should come as no surprise that many of the looks from the major design houses seem to resemble the ensembles of some of our favorite villainesses - because what seems more powerful than a badass, no mercy, bitch in charge?

Catwoman

Alexander Wang hhhhhhh image via foxnews.com

With her skintight leather, and graceful agility, who wouldn't want to resemble this fierce feline female?

Carmen Sandiego

Even cartoon evil force Carmen Sandiego knew the power of red: the color of rage, passion, and the international hue signaling someone to stop in their tracks. Like the coats at Louis Vuitton for this fall, Carmen knew that a sturdy overcoat in an attention-grabbing color would demand admiration, fear, and respect simultaneously.


Louis Vuitton


Cruella DeVille

No one can deny that, even as she lost her marbles over a few puppies, Cruella DeVille made going mad look über-glamorous in sharp patterns, a simple muted color palette, fiery red lipstick, and plenty of luscious fur!

Alexander McQueen


Catherine Tramell

3.1 Phillip Lim

As Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone managed to make this layered look of a calm, tranquil, blank canvas into a sizzling white-hot powerhouse ensemble.


The Wicked Witch of the West

Say what you will about her complexion and her character, but what thing is for sure: the woman knew the importance of a black dress and messy hair - and how to use them to make green look powerful instead of pukey!


Louis Vuitton


Max Azria

Mrs. Baylock

As the nanny of the child incarnation of the devil himself, Mia Farrow played Damien's mysterious caretaker in The Omen: 666 clad, just like the models on the Chanel fall runway, in simple wool separates - keeping things sparse and minimalistic, just like the satanic nanny's own personality and killing style ...

Blair Waldorf


hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh image via tv.yahoo.com

Okay, so she may not exactly be a villain per say (remember how she poured her heart out to Chuck, and made all her friends band together to save Serena too many times?) but there is no argument that, when she wants to, Blair can be as wicked as they come! Just like the Rag and Bone fall collection, she manages to pull off power in a preppy skirt and collared shirt - but isn't that why we love her?


Rag and Bone

The Devil

Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Last, but certainly not least, is Elizabeth Hurley playing the devil herself, granting wishes in her signature color, in Bedazzled. There is no evil power greater than the devil's, and Vivienne Westwood Red Label took a page from that book, sending a head-to-toe red look down her fall runway, projecting power, strength, ferocity, and, because red is also the color of love and lust, a little sexiness too. She should thank Liz for the inspiration!

Well, hopefully this post will inspire you to do something courageous, and when you do, don't forget to pick an outfit to match your attitude!

Despite the villainess in me, Peace and Love,
