  • Project Runway Season 4: Episode 7 Rundown
    I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard about this week’s challenge for a couple of reasons: A. It brought back memories from my senior prom (wearing stilettos for the first time, having overly coiffed hair and way too much make-up on) and B. the Catholic school, St. John Vianney, where they found this week’s models, is located in the small, fairly affluent, central...

  • Project Runway Season 4: Episode 6 Rundown
    After 2 long weeks of Project Runway repeats –marathon style – we finally got a new ep to give us somethin’ “sweet” to talk about in the new year! Instead of going to Mood for supplies, the contestants were ushered to the Time Square Hershey’s store where they grabbed Twizzlers, Hershey bars, Peanut Butter Cups and anything else they could get their hands...

  • Project Runway Season 4: Episode 5 Rundown
    This week’s show was all about the unexpected. The challenge itself was interesting! Each designer had to revamp old garments for everyday women who’d lost a lot of weight. A great task, considering it’s easier to make clothes look good on a walking mannequin….but when you have an average woman with curves on your hands, a more thoughtful approach is required. In...

  • Review: Prescriptives False Eyelashes Plush Mascara
    With Bambi-like eyes being all the rage, we’ve been going to great lengths (literally) to extend, thicken, and curl our lashes. Eyelash extensions, fake glue-ons, and even eyelash perms have become popular as of late. If you’re like me, you love fake lashes when you’re looking to go glam on a special occasion, but for everyday, you probably like something...

  • Project Runway Season 4: Episode 3 Rundown
    What a disaster! I was not the least bit impressed with the designs that were sent down the runway on Wednesday night. The challenge was to create a look for Tiki Barber – retired football great and correspondent for the Today show - the winning design to be worn by Tiki on air. Understood, nearly all the designers were making menswear for the first time, but I was...

  • Victoria’s Secrets In-Flight Show: Fun and Frolics!
    So…I’ve arrived at the Hotel Roosevelt in L.A (where Victoria’s Secrets are putting us up for the night) after what has got to be the most surreal flight ever, only to see Paris Hilton in the lobby (even more surreal…by the way her skin is unbelievably flawless) and I am tired! Not too tired to dish though. The fun and frolicking kicked off in the departure...

  • Project Runway Season 4: Episode 2 Rundown
    The contestants squealed and burst into tears after learning that Miss Carrie Bradshaw herself, Sarah Jessica Parker, would introduce the next challenge and play guest judge. With a meager $15 budget in mind, the contestants were asked to sketch a two-piece casual sportswear look for SJP’s Bitten line, from which 7 designs would be presented on the runway. The coveted...
