I have been a bit bummed at the slow reporting on Fashion Week this season. I can’t figure out what aligning of planets or supernatural experience is causing such a weak show this year (hey guys, no pressure!). However, bits and pieces have been coming in, and one in particular brought back some great memories. Annie at Blogdorf Goodman did a little writeup on Threeasfour. The clothes, photos from style.com, are total knockouts. However, it was the blue mascara that got me swooning.
Blue mascara is my absolute favorite, and most fickle, and hard to find, item. It has been so many ages since I found a good, waterproof blue. I don’t mean navy (which in it’s own right is a tad scarce), but a beautiful, nearly electric blue. And it really does have to be in season so as not to frighten the unsuspecting. I feel renewed and refreshed to start my hunt again.
That, and my next dream would be for Max Factor to revive the blue-with-silver-flecks, thick eyeliner pencil that once ruled in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Anyone remember what I am talking about? Spacey, but gorgeous. A girl can dream.
Ah, it seems only yesterday when Solessence went to People Magazine’s “Los 50 Mas Bellos” party in NYC. The 50 Most Beautiful issue is their hottest selling and biggest issue of the year, and now they’ve found a way to bring their following into the magazine folds: elect a non-celeb for the 51st slot.
Although entries closed on February 3rd, over 5000 submitted their picture online, with plenty of reader feedback. From this, ten finalists will appear on Telemundo, with the winner chosen on February 28. From there, it will be a March reveal and a trip to NY for a makeover/photoshoot, participation at People Magazine’s 50 Mas Bello event, and a spot on a famed Telemundo soap opera.
What do you think of People’s idea to include a “civilian”?
Good luck to the finalists!
Congratulations to Leah Sarjoo and her lovely Nuku
The last time I saw Leah, she looked like this (3 years old):
I know there are better photos, and one in particular I remember, but at present I cannot locate them. C’est la vie. I will keep looking. Leah is the daughter of the Sarjous, the couple that founded Thembalethu Welfare Society in South Africa, the recipients for the Hummingbird Foundation. Hopefully we will be able to feature her more in the future regarding the fundraising activities of HummingbirdProject.org
It was a miserable, miserable drive down to Chicago and back, but it was all worth it – especially to find out she had just gotten engaged that morning. Leah is now engaged in her studies as well.
I just have one request for their first dance:
Sorry for the delay, but we needed to make sure parents were alerted before blogged. Sweet wishes to the lovely couple!
