A Salute to Vivienne Westwood by Fashionista Stacy Cohen

It has often been said that fashion is one of the clearest cultural indicators of the times in which we live, and this Diva can't agree more:

Westwood Thom Browne's quirky, high-water twist on Brooks Brothers'American classics has international conservative sets all agog and aghast, renaming that ubiquitous Golden Sheep, more appropriately, Black Sheep; Roberto Cavalli's stunning Fall line, rather than being over-the-top luxurious, marries that landmark luxury to a hefty dose of sexy restraint and discretion, for a decidedly 1940s edge. But arguably, no designer ever has come close to the glorious cultural mockery that defines the work of the remarkably, consistently groundbreaking (and often fabulously shocking) Vivienne Westwood. Of course, I was just a wee young thing when she hit the scene in the 1970s as designer to the punk stars, but, in touch with my inner fashion diva even as a child, I watched her ... closely!

Elle MacPherson Panties - SO sexy my man ripped them off of me.

This month Glam.com has a campaign running for Elle MacPherson Intimates.  Glam offered to send me a couple of Elle's designer label panties to test drive and I gladly accepted.

The entire line is hella sexy! So sexy in fact that when my new Elle panties arrived I thought I'd try em' out on my guy. On my honor, I swear it's the 100% truth... he hardly got a glimpse before literally tearing them off of me.

I'm buying more because I want him to do it again.

How To Look Slimmer Instantly

by: Susan Lockhart

DressDid you know that the clothing styles you choose can have a major impact on your apparent weight? Choosing the right clothes for your body shape and makes all the difference. Here are 10 simple tricks you can use to look slimmer almost instantly!

You can lose approximately 3-5 lbs (1-2kgs) with each point listed below. Choose a maximum of 5 points per outfit:

1. Vertical Lines

A vertical design line that causes the eye to run uninterrupted up and down the body has an incredible power to make you appear slimmer and taller. Vertical stripes in particular are great at making you appear slimmer, but be careful with the stripes you choose. The wider the stripe and the further apart they are spaced, the less impact they have. Thin to medium stripes placed close together have the most impact.

2. Stand Up Straight

Simple good posture will always make you appear slimmer. Standing correctly makes your clothes hang properly and elongates the body. This can take practice but it is a great habit to get into, both for your appearance and your health.

Ruby Tuesday - Little Red Gems

Ruby Jewelry Proves To Be A ‘precious’ Find For July Babies

by Melanie Spark

RubiesThe ruby, which symbolizes contentment, is a precious gemstone that also serves as the birthstone for the month of July. By definition, a ruby is a precious gem that consists of corundum in color varieties varying from deep crimson to purple to pale rose. When it comes to gemstones, there are both semi-precious and precious. As one might imagine, the list of precious gemstones is a small one and consists only of ruby, sapphire, emerald and diamond. Because the ruby is one of the more rare gems in existence, it is also one of the more expensive. For this reason, many jewelry lovers turn toward the synthetic ruby in order to enjoy the look without spending a fortune.

When it comes to gemstone jewelry, clarity is important. Rubies, like all gems, tend to have inclusions. Genuine rubies are highly prized, especially when they are found to be clear and in the deeper shades of red. Synthetic rubies are one alternative that allows women to enjoy the look of a flawless ruby. Since having first been developed in 1837, the process of creating synthetic rubies has improved greatly and has allowed for a recreation that features both the physical and chemical properties of a genuine ruby.

Briefs And Thongs – We All Need Them!


by Amanda Cotterill
We all wear them in some form or fashion. Some of us prefer sexy thongs, others prefer bikinis, and still others want full coverage briefs. But the truth remains that almost all women wear underwear. For most of us, our underwear reveals something about us and our preferences.

If you are looking to step out of your lingerie comfort zone, your panties are a great place to start. A new pair of panties is fun and inexpensive way to add some spice to your day. No matter what normally occupies the panty drawer in your bedroom, there is a new option available for you. Today’s lingerie is made from very soft and comfortable fabric and you don’t have to be concerned about itchy lace or stiff elastic.

If you are normally a bikini wearer, try a string bikini. String bikinis are a more comfortable option for today’s fashionable skinny jeans. With less fabric on the side you will much less likely to have unsightly panty lines. Obviously, alone string bikinis are a more sexy and revealing panty than bikinis. The advantage is you still have all the coverage you look for in a regular bikini.

Many women prefer thongs to deal with panty lines in their clothing. As fashions become more tailored and slim fitting, panty lines become much more obvious. The always sexy thong is the perfect solution. Again, this is where the fabrics of today are a great gift to women of today. Womens thongs are no longer uncomfortable and restricting but very comfortable.

When shopping for thongs, determine the style that you prefer. Some are constructed with a small triangle of fabric that sits below the small of your back. Others known as g-strings don’t have that little bit of fabric, the elastic simply rides around your hip or just below and between your buttocks. Both styles give the clean no panty line in form fitting styles. For wearing with the ultra low rise style of jeans, some thongs have small charms or jewels attached to the back fabric panel to peek a boo above the jean line. This is fun little accent for weekend or evening wear.

But maybe you have always worn briefs. There is no shame in this. The beauty of underwear is that there are sexy options in every panty style. Sexy panties are available everywhere from your local discount store to high end lingerie boutiques. A very comfortable and sexy panty choices is the seamless, cotton lycra stretch blends. If you want to minimize the appearance of panty lines and still have more coverage, these are the panties for you. They are available in every imaginable color and with or without details like soft lace. Neutral skin tones are perfect to pair with light colored clothing. But with jeans, get a few sexy panties in colors that are vivid and fun. No one has to know if you don’t want them to.

When purchasing swimsuits, keep in mind the various panty styles. Your cut of the bottom of the swimsuit will depend upon whether if it is one or two pieces. Two piece swimsuits can have bottoms from full coverage brief styles to thongs and g-strings. Determine how you are going to use your suit before choosing your bottom style. For beach wear, all styles work well. However, for swimming as exercise or diving, you will likely want a little more coverage.

Briefly in review (pun intended), you can have a lot of fun with your underwear. It is a great way to add a sense of adventure to your lingerie drawer and easy on your pocketbook.

Punk Hairstyles From Rebel Culture To Fashion Statement

by mwbarrows
Punkhair3Punk hairstyles - those bizarre, colorful things that you see in high streets, villages and black-painted teenage bedrooms! I'm not a punk and have never been one, but I have always been fascinated by the whole punk look and ideology - probably because I was a teenager at the very time that punk exploded, kicking, screaming, swearing and spitting, into popular culture.

Punk took off as a mainstream fashion and music trend during the mid-1970s, largely due to the efforts of high profile English fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood and the crown princes of punk - The Sex Pistols. The Pistols were managed at the time by Malcolm McLaren, who was Westwood's partner (personally and professionally) and the crazy mixture of these 3 forces gave rise to what would become a global phenomenon.
