WINTER 2002

Too Sexy! Beauty product gift ideas

Buy her make-up if you are a girl- if you are a guy do not buy her make up or beauty products (unless she asks you) if you don't want her to think you are gay or, to word it lightly, "feminine."

Check out Sephora if you don't want to go wrong on nice holiday presents. There are several gift options for you to choose.

DO NOT buy us Glow by J-Lo- please! we hate her enough the last thing we need to do is wear eau de skank.

DO NOT buy her fruity Bath and Body Works or Body Shop sprays. Please! We have enough of those stacked at the bottom of our closet somewhere!

Cover Girl! Clothes

Ok, here's the deal, do not buy a woman clothes unless you know her well. Even I never buy clothes for my mother just because we have very different taste. However, if you do want to go safe buy her something from the Limited, Express, The Gap or if you don't want to spend too much money on her, Old Navy.

DO NOT buy clothing if your girl is chunky, whatever her size is she will get really offended if you buy her something (that fits) but says extra-large on the tag.

On your left: Old Navy fleece- trust me, she will always wear it on those cold days, and think about you ($19.50)

 

Lingerie- A gift for yourself as well

I- Get her lingerie if you know her well enough and your relationship has gotten that far

II- When you buy it and you break up, do not expect to keep it

III- Make sure you know the girl well enough- if she is all religious do not expect her to wear a slutty maid outfit.

DO NOT expect your girl to look like the model who wears the lingerie or you'll be seriously disappointed.

On your right: Victoria's Secret Parah strappy backless bodysuit ($198)

 

Tres Chic- Jewelry

Yup, I know men want nothing to do with jewelry and such but do not think that jewelry only spells serious commitment; it doesn't necessarily have to be a diamond ring! If you want to get her jewelry (and show her you are willing to spend bucks on her but are not necessarily ready to marry her!!) why not go for a bracelet (charm bracelets are going really strong lately) or a pair of earrings?

DO NOT spend too much money on a chick you have barely been with, no matter how much you love her- believe it or not, she might see it as a turn off.

On your left: Tiffany's Engagement Ring ($970-$1.000.000)


Become a snow queen this winter

Even if it is cold it doesn't mean you should not take care of yourself and just cuddle up! Now you can look pretty even under 5 layers of sweaters and a cold nose. Check out these tips from Sephora that recommends us the ideal make-up to shine despite the bad weather.

For other great make-up colors this season check out:

Calvin Klein

Benefit

Lorac


Don't try this at home

First cardinal rule of a woman- do not wear pigtails if you are past the age of 14... please! Check out Jennifer Lopez, who usually has an impeccable look, walking around the Bronx (?) in a slutty pink coat with pigtails and pink lip-gloss. How old is she?

If you are especially OVER 30 and are starting to have wrinkles around your eyes please, don't dress up like a girl? You are not a girl!

And what's up with the length of the coat? You are shooting a video in the snow right? Isn't your fat ass cold as hell in that outfit? Of course we are talking of artificial snow in the video but girls, do not try this at home! If you go for the J-Lo look you will end up quite messed up- and sick.

 

SPRING 2002

Amazing and cheap bathing suits at Newport!

As always, here I am advertising (freely) Newport News and their spring/summer sale.  I just love their bathing suits because they are so cheap and pretty!

However, follow these important guidelines:

-Make sure you measure yourself because sizes at Newport may not be the same as your other stores'.

-Watch out when you read info about the material of the bathing suit... or anything else.  I remember once I received a top so hideous because it looked almost like plastic and so not like the picture.

-You can reach customer service at 1-800-759-3950

-Order a free catalog and make sure you buy soon because they are running lower prices before the spring season kicks in


Spring's top designer

Escada

How many times have you checked out the new lines from the top designers and saw you could never wear their clothes because you are not either a tootpick nor are you willing to go out wearing a skirt ONLY! Well, Escada has the prettiest, most down to earth dresses for the spring season and you too can check that out by going to their official site, which is packed with styles you should definitely consider having in your closet... and if you have no dough, why not look for an imitation? (shhh!)

What's the hype about this eye shadow?

I have seen this product on virtually every beauty and fashion magazine lately; it's featured in the InStyle website and you can buy it at Gloss.  If you do try it please e-mail me and let me know how it is!

 

WINTER 2001

What you need to have this spring!

No more rips- just slashes and fringes!

This spring get ready to notice almost every girl on the planet wearing cotton/polyester shirts slashed through either collarbone, stomach or even chest to show cleavage! Surely guys will love that look! Also very famous fringed clothing

Pictured above: Baby Phat Graffitti tie, $36

OTHER TOPS THAT MUST BE IN YOUR CLOSET:

-Peasant shirts

-Ruffle Tops


J-lo takes the next layer off

And she's practically naked in her "gift" to FHM magazine after they nominated her 'Sexiest Woman' after two consecutive years.  We say, well, whatever! Of course you will be even sexier now that your boobs are hanging out for everyone to see

PS: We wonder how her husband must feel!

PPS: She looks better without bangs!

Go to FHM...


Starlet rivalry- why cloning is the way to go

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like Jessica Simpson because of her voice but why does she have to try and look like the other teen stars?

When she came out with the video from 'Irresistible' she looks just like Britney, it's hard to tell them apart and now she dyes her hair brown like Mandy Moore?

I am very confused... and saddened that she does not have her own look to follow- and girl, you're my age... what's up with the heavy make up and the red jacket? You look like a mother!

AGUILERA TURNS TO COKE

No pun intended on the title! Actually, Christina Aguilera's new commercial for Coca Cola is designed to rival that of Pepsi's Britney Spears soft drink temptation.

The new commercial aired for the first time this past Tuesday during "Angel" on the WB.  On this commercial, Christina rightly rids of her Lady Marmelade fro and turns herself into a walking Coca Cola mascot, with school colors and everything.
