Backstage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

For the past couple weeks I have been living among angels, wings, and supermodels. I am happy. Let me finish that sentence… I am happy to report that supermodels are human. They wear nothing but teeny lingerie on the runway for the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows and photoshoots, and look amazing doing so. In case…

Naomi Campbell Holds the Key? (VIDEO)

In a twist of irony, Naomi Campbell is making war crimes allegations against former Liberian President, Charles Taylor, yet doesn’t want to talk about it. In an interview with ABC News, she stormed out, knocking over a camera, just for good measure. “Even prosecutors in the Hague for the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone…

I See London, I See France…

Well, it’s only Round One of the French Open and already some of us are embarrassed to be Americans over here. Whistles and whispers circulated through the stands at Court Suzanne Lenglen, with the fashion malfunction of Venus Williams. That’s right, I said fashion malfunction… This is no unintended wardrobe malfunction. Nope, this is a…

Parcbench’s Guide to the Kentucky Derby 2010

It’s Kentucky Derby time again. Held on the first Saturday in May, the one and a quarter mile Thoroughbred contest is the most prestigious horse race in the world.

MCQUEEN IS DEAD. LONG LIVE MCQUEEN

My assignment was to write about the recent New York Fall 2010 ready-to-wear fashion shows. It may seem strange to title a piece about New York Fashion Week with a reference to Scottish designer Alexander McQueen, but his suicide on opening day (February 11) cast a pall over the entire event. His death was an…

The New Mustang – Retro Meets Retro

Ford’s beautiful retro Mustang debuted in 2005. They did such a good job replicating the original’s look (even with stifling government regulations in the way), that I still do a double take when I see one drive by. Four years later, it begged the question, “What next?” The updated styling of the retro Mustang has…

Underpants Bomber Special Guest at Michelle Obama Surprise Birthday Party

from The Endive… First Lady Michelle Obama got more than she bargained for when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, better known as the Underpants Bomber, showed up as the guest of honor at her surprise birthday party. “This is all, well, it’s a misunderstanding,” said President Barack Obama, who spent days arranging the party, “I really thought…

The Ladies Room: Your Glittering Lady Business

Remember those crystal tattoos that were outrageously popular a few years back? Ever want one on your muffin? Jennifer Love Hewitt glamed out her bajingo and isn’t afraid to talk about it. In fact, she included an entire chapter about it in her book. Yes, she has a relationship book. (Dramatic pause for laughter.) “Vagazzling”…

Spotted: MO lost her manners, Capitol Offense!

Where do I start? Looks like Girl President forgot part of her dress. The White House spends so much time looking into the future. Maybe if Lady O had a proper calendar, she’d realize we’re well past the time for bold prints and bright colors. A vivid, oversized floral print cocktail dress isn’t simply an…
