Vogue Italia - Anti Eating Disorder

The editor of Italian Vogue, Franca Sozzani, has launched a campaign with the Association for Eating Disorders to highlight the dangers posed by pro anorexia blogs.

Sozanni wants to show that ‘fashion is ready to get on the frontline and struggle against the disorder.’ There is an online petition she wants Vogue readers to sign (the website has over 1 million hits a month) in an effort to shut down pro ana websites.

Sozzani says ‘Fashion has been always blamed as one of the culprits of anorexia, and our commitment is the proof that fashion is ready to get on the frontline and struggle against the disorder.’

It’s an interesting argument. On the one hand you have pro active editors like Franca Sozzani of Italian Vogue who launched this campaign and has argued for, and put more colour in, fashion magazines. Then we have Alexandra Shulman of British Vogue who sent a letter to scores of designers in 2009 lambasting their use of such thin girls, saying it’s not what the majority of British Vogue readers want to see.

But flick through a copy of Italian or British Vogue – how many girls do you see that aren’t extremely thin? The latest UK Vogue has a spread with the stunning girl-du-jour Lindsey Wixon who is, at a stretch, a UK 6. Practice what you preach ladies!

Saks’ Unforgettable Evening Benefiting EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund Gala (ok,ok...it was actually an "event"... I just like using the word "gala") was held last night at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. It is quite obviously a great cause...

And this is quite obviously a FAB dress... Reese Witherspoon in Jason Wu:



WOW Mr.Wu... Reese Witherspoon rocked it, and rocked it well.



Honorable Mention:

Christina Applegate:

By now I am sure everyone has seen or heard about Rihanna's performance of Bob Marley classic "Redemption" on Oprah. Trust me, I am painfully aware that the appearance was purely about helping the grief stricken country of Haiti and not about fashion. However...I can't help it. I gotta say it. It was haute. Seriously. Haute. I love Viktor & Rolf...



The performance:


You know what isn't haute?! These boots.


Memo to C Breezy: I will not be able to remain impartial much longer if you insist on wearing boots like this. A lover's quarrel I can forgive. These boots I cannot. xoxo ~Glamour Whore

-Kevin Fenton, Director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS


Today is December 1st. Today is also World AIDS Day 2009. I cannot stress enough the importance of:
1)Being tested
2)ALWAYS practicing safe sex
3)Educating yourself about the disease

Educating yourself is seriously, vitally important. Do you have any idea how many humpaholics I know that are completely ignorant about STDs?! That is just plain dangerous... That being said, I am a MUA, a beauty-blogger, a Glamour Whore and a fashion junkie, I am by no means, qualified to teach anyone about any disease. That would be seriously irresponsible of me. I can however provide you with websites that can enlighten and educate.

Here are a few:

Listen up Glamettes, there is NOTHING glamorous about being UNPROTECTED. I would never assume or hope that the other person has protection. Nope. I carry my own. Now, there 2 fashionable ways to do this....

The first one is Just In Case Inc. You may remember an article I did about this fab company awhile back. If not I'll recap... Just In Case Inc produces the most glam condom cases. Yes. I said GLAM condom cases..."haute" humping accessories...I love it. They have pink cases, jeweled cases, red cases, metallic cases, plain cases, etc... No one will ever know what your carrying if you don't want them to. I blew my own cover when I excitedly told all my friends about it...lol. A few of their designs:

"Classic Bling"

Just In Case II


Metallic Just In Case


And my favorite
The Classic Conversation Gift Pack:


These and many more designs can be found here

The 2nd way to always be prepared is to be already wearing the condom...

I present "Condom Couture":


Ummmm.....my second suggestion was somewhat of a joke... I don't really expect you to wear something from www.boner.com ...lol. My actual suggestion is to pick out a chic and sleek condom case from JustInCaseInc.com , fill it up and you're good to "go".


Happy Humping.

~The Color Purple...Epilepsy Awareness Month~

“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.” -Tommy Lasorda

"Bambino Selvaggio" or in English "Wild Child" that is a perfect description of my lifelong friend Kimi. Free spirit and life of the party come to mind also when I fondly remember us in high school... We had so much fun it was ridiculous, and maybe a lil illegal. Life wasn't perfect, not by a long shot, but it was different. Back then our hearts broke when our parents wouldn't bend on our curfew time or the boy we "couldn't live without" didn't call. Today we have grown up problems... No longer is our greatest mission getting our parents to agree to 1am instead of 12 or how we're gonna get that outfit we'll die without from the mall. If you had asked me back then if I saw my wild child Kimi being a good mom I would answer "I don't know". Because we never really thought about stuff like that. After years of being out of contact and renewing our friendship via Facebook (I know, so cliche)I got my answer... YES!! She is an amazing mother. Involved, loving, protective, supportive, nurturing, and probably the coolest mom in town. And she kept her figure...sounds perfect right? Wrong. NOTHING is ever perfect. There is always a catch. How else would we learn and gain knowledge and strength? Perfection isn't real and real isn't perfect. That's the first lesson I ever learned in life...

Kimi and her husband Matt, a great husband and father, have 3 amazing children. All of them cool, talented, smart and gorgeous. 2 girls and 1 boy. Like a magazine cover of the perfect family...almost. Like I said, nothing is ever perfect. That being said, keep in mind that whatever trials and tribulations arise, any parent will tell you, they wouldn't change a thing about their children. But they will fight like hell for them.

In 2008 their son Zack, a great kid who battles the disease like a solider, was diagnosed with Epilepsy.

Knowing Kimi and how she loves the people she loves, especially her children and husband, with all of her heart I'm sure the 1st reaction was pure devastation. But in pure Kimi form, she got past that and went right into battle mode. She is relentless in her pursuit of a cure and zealous in her quest to raise awareness to a disease that affects so many yet receives so little attention. She attended a huge walk for a cure in Washington this past spring and the event got very little press. It made me wonder...why? Why are millions of "pink" products available thru the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness yet very few people even know that the color of Epilepsy Awareness Month is purple? I'm not saying that other diseases receive too much attention, my own Mother was taken from me when I was 5 from cancer and I'm grateful for the advancements that been made in the pursuit of a cure for that awful disease. I'm just saying that Epilepsy receives too little attention. So I'm here to do my part to help change that.

As I stated the color of Epilepsy Awareness is PURPLE. So, as a start I'm asking to try to wear the color purple, in anyone of it's various hues, at least a few times in the month of November and if you receive a compliment (and you will because purple is a striking color that almost everyone wears well) simply say "Thank you, I wore it to bring awareness/attention to the fight to find a cure for Epilepsy". And if any cosmetic companies or clothing/accessory designers are reading..."PLEASE CONSIDER CREATING A FAB PURPLE PIECE TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS AND DONATIONS".

You can learn more about epilepsy by visiting The Epilepsy Foundation or if you have a Facebook account you can join the group Kimi started to bring awareness, provide information and to serve as a supportive outlet for people affected by epilepsy "Zack Attack"

Some "purple" suggestions:

1) Eyeshadow:
Orglamix's "Fig"


2) Lipstick:
Limecrime's "Airbourne" Lipstick

3) Lipsy's Ric Rac Dress in Purple:

4) Can be as simple as a bouquet of purple flowers...


Also if you have a Twitter, Facebook, or a Myspace I created a "twibbon", a symbol that be applied to your default picture to show your support for "Zack Attack" or you can pick one simply to show show your support for Epilepsy Awareness.

Thank You for listening...
