Betrayed: Schwarzenegger reveals to Shriver he had illegitimate child…with the help!

Oh Ah-nold!  The sad news of the Schwarenegger/Shriver split now comes with a twist.  The former Governor of California revealed to his wife that he had been having an affair with a longtime family staff member who had recently retired – and had fathered her child.

I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire,” she said, adding she received a severance payment and “left on good terms with them.” – LA Timess

Shriver moved out of the family Brentwood home after finding this out directly from her husband.  Schwarzenegger stated this happened over 10 years ago, and the woman has never stepped forward to reveal his secret, choosing to say the child was hers from a previous marriage.  What is his reason for airing dirty laundry now? 

Oddly enough, it appears Schwarzenegger sought office after he’d fathered this child.  He has supported the child all of these years, and that apparently didn’t slow him down either (remember the numerous “groping” complaints?)

He once claimed a key point to his success was “Marrying a Kennedy” but betraying one can’t be too good for your career either.

Update:  The mother is Mildred Baena (aka Patty) and the child is possibly as old as fourteen.  He absolutely looks like dad.

United Nude: Architectural Shoes for 2011

 

 Exclusive by Design, Not by Price

 Structure and detail was on the runway for 2011, and United Nude shoe design concepts fit perfectly into play here. 


Architect Rem D Koolhaas and shoemaker Galahad Clark created United Nude, and the line has shot off. New flagship stores are being created in Amsterdam, New York, Shanghai and London. The growth is due to the exciting blend of design and shapes, new constructions and materials “pushing boundaries of what is possible.”

In addition to the existing line, new styles and a mensline have been introduced. 

The United Nude Hollow is in the classical style dress shoe with leather moulded outsole and hollowed carbon fibre heel.  Gorgeous look that keeps it classical without going generic.

I wish I could show you them all here.

Some of my favorites include the Pin Buckle, Haiku, Abstract, Tangle Sandal, Ultra Loop and Mobius Slide.  try Endless.com for purchasing.

Princess Beatrice to Auction Philip Treacy Royal Wedding Hat

How sweet it is

Princess Bea’s pale pink Philip Treacy hat was the belle of the royal ball.  It has garnered so much attention that the elated Princess has decided to capitalize – for a good cause.  Princess Bea will auction her hat off on eBay (eBay!) with proceeds going to UNICEF and “children in crisis” charities.  There was no way she could possibly wear this again, so it is a fabulous idea to really give the press a run for its money. 

Would you bid?  Would you wear it?  I’ve always thought the hat looked like a frame for “Mirror Mirror” asking “Who’s the Fairest?” and I would find it amusing.

If you manage to get outbid on eBay, I spoke to Neiman Marcus Chicago and they still have a few Treacy hats in stock after the Derby pillage.  Last I looked they ranged from $700 to over $7000.  Give them a ring:

Neiman Marcus
737 N. Michigan Ave.
Chicago, IL
312-642-5900
 
**UPDATE  The hat sold for roughly $130, 580 USD

Hot trend: CND Sunshine at Your Fingertips

Looking for a little sunshine?  Oranges are one of the hottest colors of the season!  Even if we don’t have a lot of warmth in the skies just yet, you can get little rays of lights on your nails.  Try this gorgeous combination in CND’s color range with the layering technique:

  • Prep nail, use basecoat (I love CND Stickey)
  • Add two layers of CND Colours & Effects in Electric Orange
  • Add thin, even layer of CND Colours & Effects in Gold Pearl
  • Finish with Top Coat

The result is a soft, shimmery, tangerine-ish glow that is complimentary and a wide range of skin tones.  It makes you look tan, it looks radiant and rich, and it tones down a full-blown orange for those a little too timid to make a full step into the trend.

 You can also recreate this in CND Shellac using two coats of Tropix and one thin coat of Iced Coral for a look that will last at least two weeks.  Enjoy!
