with reference to the skin lightening stuff in India, while I agree that a lot of that ties into the Indian caste system, but a huge part of is tied in strongly with the concept of 'brown englishmen' etc #brangelinajewelry
@rd2uk: I don't know, I saw skin lightening lotions all over Asia. I think it's just used to be a marker of wealth/beauty, like how it used to be cool to be overweight and pale in the US if you were wealthy and you weren't working all the time.
A side note, my friend was absolutely shocked when we first came across lightening cream, because she was so used to pale being undesirable. #brangelinajewelry
@Heidi Lengdorfer: totally agree with both of you, just saying that in the case of india colonization plays a huuuuge role in people wanting to be lighter skinned/speaking english/wearig western clothes etc. obv theres loads of other factors that play into all of this, such as those that ya'll have mentioned. #brangelinajewelry
I'm sorry but those are some butt-ugly necklaces Angelina. They look like that weird Lord of the Rings themed jewelry section in SkyMall magazines. #brangelinajewelry
Ladies of the world: Not everyone needs to be blonde. Really. Sometimes it makes you look about 74 yrs. older than you actually are, case in point Kat McPhee. She's a gorgeous girl, but the 'do she's rocking seems to have stolen a page from Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken's playbook. Not good.
Serena Williams looks like a goddess, literally. Dare I say that I don't think I've ever seen someone rock the Grecian look quite so fiercely. Get it girl. #glamourwomenoftheyear
The way Stella McCartney's shoes blend into the black carpet had me all lost and confused for a good thirty seconds. Dear god, what's going on? Her toes DISAPPEARED! #glamourwomenoftheyear
I have this theory that Steven Tyler shops at Chico's. My MIL would never wear all of the items together, but I'm pretty sure she owns many of the same things in ST's wardrobe. #glamourwomenoftheyear
I think Emme normally looks gorgeous, but this dress is hideous and is not doing her boobs any favors. Also, looks like she came straight from the shower, what's going on with her hair? #glamourwomenoftheyear
@Tippi Hedren: Agreed. Love her, but it looks like it was fashioned from the scraps of a velour tracksuit. Which is all kinds of wrong. #glamourwomenoftheyear
I love the Hi-Octane Orange of Serena William's dress, the random (but totally welcome) pops of color with Iman's outfit and Stella McCartney's dress. Yay! Color!!

All he needs is a pixie cut and he could be on the cover of their catalog. #glamourwomenoftheyear
