Is anyone else totally sending off an application for the Torrid competition? I just have to figure out how to get an 8x10 before Friday.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: No, don't get any kind of fancy 8 x 10! I guarantee what theywould most like to see are a couple natural, unposed, makeup-free shots in natural light. Wear something simple and form-fitting and look happy! Good luck.

ACK! First Miley on the cover of Elle, and now a Gossip girl on Bazaar? Oh people, bring back the models! Maybe an adult like Milla?

"Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity," Meester told the magazine. "Because what comes with age is so many wonderful things: wisdom, understanding."

I have to be honest, if I had the money I'd start botox now, I am 26. From what I have heard if you start young it can look natural.
Usually the people who advocate aging gracefully and all are incredibly attractive and aging gracefully. I need all the help I can get.
Although the comment does it make it sound like she is already using it but if you go the site she seems to just be saying people should be free to do what they want.

@Elaken: Darling, I am sure you are a beautiful young lady who doesn't need to inject things into your face. Please think twice about Botox. It is not as side effect free as many think. Avoid the sun, don't smoke, drink lots of water, and use good skin products and you will be lovely for years.

@Elaken: I'd second Badmutha's excellent advice. I've always thought that probably a wiser path to take is to use the thousands of dollars you might spend on cosmetic surgery and procedures and put it towards things that will make you feel good about yourself in other ways. Whether that's travelling to the mosques of Samarkand and the secret snow-covered mountain passes of the Himalayas, or buying a whole library full of good books to read, or a wardrobe of beautiful, magical clothing, or a gleaming sailboat, fast as a knife, or time well spent with a fantastic, life-affirming therapist, or whatever it is that floats your boat. It will make you more interesting, and it will never, ever let you down.
Go for life experiences over botox, friend. It's always the right choice.

That "Don't Shop" ad is one of the most out-of-touch, misguided, and poorly filmed things I've ever seen. And at 6 minutes, it's unbelievably self-indulgent. Are people really so clueless that they don't understand consumers are cutting back on shopping because they are a) losing their jobs and hard up for money or b) finally learning (or being forced) to live within their means? Plus, comparing shopping to voting is ridiculous.

Also, it sounds like it was filmed in my bathroom.

well i'm never, EVER going into an Ulta again because when i asked the salesperson if the store near me carried this truly awesome foundation i had bought at sephora in new york (oh how i wish i had the money for it now... wet n' wild, how you make my face break out) she scoffed at me and sniggered, "no, i believe you're going to have to keep going to QVC for that."

i'm like, excuse me!? first of all, what is wrong with you, i'm supposed to feel welcome and want to buy things, that's what retail is all about and second of all... WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH QVC?

I'm not really sure if Alicia actually meant what I think she does, but if she means that people shouldn't buy junk unless they actually need it, that's pretty cool. She's pretty environmentalisty; I like when people advocate minimalizing for the sake of the environment rather than just changing what it is one consumes and not how much.

They need to just open up a Real Housewives store. Nene can sell her shoes, Kim can sell her CDs, Sheree can sell her clothes, the entire NYC cast can sell their books, Bethenney will sell cupcakes, Jill will sell fabric, Vicki will sell insurance, Ramona and Lauri's daughter will sell skin care products, Ramona for an inexplicable reason will also sell crosses, that one guy will sell energy drinks and Danielle will sell herself.

It will be like a very very expensive Target.

Paris's museum is good but it's nothing on my personal favourite - Moscow has a museum of forgotten objects - that is a museum filled with things so obscure that no one knows what their purpose was these days - once someone can identify what they were used for they leave the museum.

Jennifer Lopez's new scent, "My Glow," was apparently inspired by motherhood.

Soooo it smells like milk vomit, strained carrots, and not showering for 3 days?

If you're buying a counterfeit pregnancy test you have a lot more issues than just an unplanned pregnancy!

@amowls: Don't they always say in the ads that ONLY salons can carry the real thing and the fancy-pants hair products at drugstores are not guaranteed/probably fake/will make you bald?

I always thought that was just them bullshitting you so you'd pay more at the salons.
