MCQUEEN IS DEAD. LONG LIVE MCQUEEN
by: ElizabethCochran
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 epiphany. [...]

The New Mustang – Retro Meets Retro
On January 22, 2010 at 6:00 am
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 definitely been [...]
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 I had [...]
The Ladies Room: Your Glittering Lady Business
On January 18, 2010 at 9:04 am
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” is the [...]

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 accident. [...]

The Ladies Room: Sex Laws
On October 23, 2009 at 10:01 am
The following is politically incorrect: I think a guy should pay. Society has decided that women should pay half, open our own doors and…whatever other depressing resolutions that came after the 1950’s. But no one asked me if I wanted any of this. Expectations have changed and gender roles are blending.
It must be stopped.
I consider [...]

Everyone loves baseball caps. From displaying your favorite team to quirky graphics, baseball caps are a fun outlet for self expression. Northern California based business Hellatight is making a lot of noise in the industry with its various takes on the omnipresent fitted cap.
What began as a small business that catered to a clientele of fitted baseball cap [...]
Fur Real!

Fall has finally set in, and its crisp kiss has touched everyone here in New York. These days are prefect for a light jacket or sweater and scarf combination whichever you prefer. Now that fall has made its presence known the promise of winter is right around the corner, and it brings with it the freezing cold [...]
A Hairy Situation
On October 14, 2009 at 11:07 am
I had the pleasure of having an in-depth conversation with a close friend of mine regarding, of all things, hair. Not so much the texture of, rather styles as they relate to age. The overall base of the decision was grounded in which styles of hair were age appropriate, or was it on a case by case [...]

A consistent and proper facial cleansing regime is required for healthy and vibrant skin. Long gone are the days of hard soap and hot water. Just drinking the recommended daily consumption of water is not enough either. To combat today’s hash environment, and UV damaging effects, a proper skin cleansing and moisturizing ritual is not only [...]
Real Men Never Wear…
On October 5, 2009 at 4:30 am
Sometimes I am sadly reminded of how young and behind the curve America the great is. While bra burnings and domestic rights are current events here in America they are social topics of the past for other countries. While no country is perfect, and all have their own issues to face, I have to wonder when will [...]
