In a political twist to Coco Hilton, Time ranks the top 10 world leaders that need to get cuffed by the fashion police:

Members Only jackets? Adidas sportswear? Jackets inspired by country flags?
Don’t agree? They give you an opportunity to sort according to your preference.
Is this a nice, humorous aside or a path Time shouldn’t tread?

Many years ago around the time Marisa Tomei was nominated/won her Oscar, she was on a talk show discussing a dress malfunction that led her to Chanel and an almost out-of-body experience where they didn’t have a dress to accommodate and so they gathered as many beautiful silk scarves as they had and the magical fairy-seamtresses sat round her and whip-stitched a gown to her body on the spot.

I still remember the little needle and thread motions she made as she recounted the story of her up until then little secret, and the giddy excitement in her voice. It is in the same vein makeup artist Olaf Derlig shares what he used for the actress at Sundance Film Festival:
“I had an amazing result using Votre Vu today on Marisa Tomei. Getting Marisa ready right after she arrived from the airport going straight to her premiere it was very important to give her a nice fresh, glowey look and perfect skin appearance.”
Derlig used Wrinkle Eraser and Luxe Lips for the actress and called it a “must have product” when you need to look perfect.

There is nothing sadder than a manicurist with really rotten looking nails. Even if you do your own nails at home, there still comes a time when you’ve got some freshly painted digits you dig, that just end up messed up when reaching for the remover.
That’s why I am so excited to share this gem!

The Cotton Claw is sold through Sally Beauty and can be picked up in-store or online. It is a pen like device that grabs the cotton, making it easy to dip into nail polish remover and then run over fingernails.
The Cotton Claw

When used, you can avoid contact with remover soaked cotton. It is vastly superior to the “cotton between the pointer and middle finger” method (think slipping cotton, acetone soaked forearms). At well under $5 it is a total steal.
This was being used around the school and one doll of a classmate gave one to me for graduation. If you do nails and want yours to stay as nice looking as your clients, pick this up.

The women aren’t the only ones that need to look pretty. Adrien Brody trusted his looks to makeup artist Jessica Liparoto during Sundance, and she used Votre Vu:
“I had gifted Adrien Brody with the fabulous Votre Vu products…(his) skin type would reflect the ‘Attentive’ line. He’s very particular about what he puts on his face and tends to stick to what he knows.”
