seriously, the fact that THIS guy's biggest problem is that he can't find his zipper fast enough REVOLTS me.

newt gingrich opens up about his lady problems.

a quote from the article, referring to the break-up of his SECOND marriage.."He asked her to just tolerate the affair, an offer she refused."

but, he'll just say he hopes jesus will forgive him, and the sheep will follow suit. well played, fat man.

i guess that's what they call good old-fashioned christian values these days?

(i actually call it good old-fashioned hypocrisy. tomato tomahto, i guess...)

y'all can hate me for it, but i call them like i see them. if you don't like it, stop reading. maybe go do something productive, like knitting or stamp collecting.

style tip of the day...

ladies, ladies, ladies...PLEASE.

if you are going to be cheap and put in your extensions yourself, TRY TRY TRY just a little bit harder to match your actual hair color. and if you happened to pay someone to put those yellow threads into your head, for god's sake get back to that salon and demand your money back!!!!

;)

afraid of glitter nail polish?

DON'T BE!!!

i love love love my glitter nail polish...

(marge, ruby, harper, to name a few)

but i have people saying to me all the time,

"it's so hard to take off!"

i thank them (because i take that as a compliment!), then went looking for a few tricks of the trade.

deborah lippmann, backstage at narciso rodriguez, gives these steps to refinery29...

Step 1: Saturate cotton with acetone or polish remover (a remover with acetone works best).
Step 2: Place the cotton on the nail and wrap each finger in aluminum foil. Press down.
Step 3: Leave on for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Pull the foil off and your glitter polish will glide off, too!

haven't tried it yet (i'm rocking matte white today), but let me know if you do before me and how it works!!!

right, galliano? what do you think, carlos estevez?

"experience" is what we call it when we don't want to admit we did anything wrong...;)

(that would be charlie sheen, for those of you that don't know that's a stage name...)

a.

who should succeed galliano?

YSL's stefano pilati? givenchy's riccardo tisci?

who do you think will take over the reins at dior?

hopefully, someone who can drink a couple of glasses of wine and keep the old mouth shut!

Bookies Are Taking Bets on Who Will Succeed Galliano at Dior

(image via ny mag.)

dusty...you've been a bad bad boy!

"he has burglarized the neighborhood over 600 times!"

dusty the cat REALLY likes the neighbors' stuff.

and of course, because we live in a youtube world...it has been caught on video.

bad little kitty!

;)

and for the save face of the week...

i give you the house of dior.

kudos to Dior CEO Sidney Toledano, who took to the runway to make a statement before the show. "It has been deeply painful to see the Dior name associated with the disgraceful statements attributed to its designer, however brilliant he may be," he said. "Such statements are intolerable because of our collective duty to never forget the Holocaust and its victims, and because of the respect for human dignity that is owed to each person and to all peoples."

and for the finale of the first dior show in 15 years without their lamboyant designer taking the bow, the entire design team emerged, clad in white lab coats.

all in all, a classy way to handle a sticky situation. and the clothes and bags weren't bad, either!

a.

ps...how are they still saying the comments he "allegedly" made? there is video, and it's not like there are a ton of people walking around in the world looking like johnny galliano. hmm...just saying.

please don't wear your fishnets with open toe shoes!!!

i don't care who says it is cool, hip, or "in".

i can't believe i am going to say this, but stop trying to be grown up, and go back to your bohemian chic.

"This is really the worse problem I've encountered," says the concerned citizen. "There was a crack dealer next door to me and while that was terrible at least I could sleep in my house when I wanted to."

shame on you. you were just quoted saying that you would rather have a crackhead in the neighborhood than a LOCAL business that promotes the arts. no wonder our symphony goes bankrupt every season.

do your part people! support local arts!!!
