MC Precious – Mariah Carey, Movie Heavyweight

You can take the pretty out of the girl, but can that equate to a movie with good reviews? It’s a formula that has worked for a number of beauties in the past, and Mariah Carey is betting the same for herself.

It is hard to believe that a year ago, this was the super svelte MC. Now Carey, 40, has packed on the pounds, the commoners hairdo and a dour look for her role as a social working in “Precious”, a biting tale about a young girl suffering emotional and physical abuse at home. The film has already won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and is showing at Cannes Film Festival. She may have finally found the vehicle to move her beyond the nightmare of “Glitter”. Precious opens this November.

She’s also been looking pretty happy with her young paramour. Maybe she can time the packing of the pounds and work on becoming MCpreggers with Nick.

Woody Allen wins $5M from American Apparel



That’s a whole lotta hot water AA keeps pouring on themselves. Sometimes the public just needs to be shocked by good products, service and marketing.

In the spring of 2007, my company American Apparel put up two billboards depicting an image of Woody Allen dressed as a Hasidic Jew, from the movie “Annie Hall,” one in New York City and the other in Los Angeles. They were up for less than a week, and when Mr. Allen’s representatives asked that we take them down, we did so immediately. Nonetheless, Mr. Allen subsequently filed a lawsuit against American Apparel, demanding $10 million for the unauthorized use of his image. Photo from American Apparel.

Warners Marilyn Monroe Silk Robe

FABric

Update: I have been getting a lot of hits on this post and wanted to clarify. I’ve been going through my boxes of old clothes (you know, the ones you like that you don’t want to get rid). I bought this robe new, many years ago, during this campaign. I laugh where they mention Marilyn Monroe was probably “most appealing to a woman over a certain age,” as there were many non-boomers into the line.

I actually never wore the robe because I wanted to keep it in good condition. It still has the original tags. I purchased it either at the defunct Emporium-Capwell or Macy*s. Too long ago to remember. I can’t believe how beautifully it has held up.
