This proposal took four months to craft and is one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. Chad’s girlfriend of four years, Vy, had always wanted him to write a song for her. Since he didn’t really sing it was a bit of a challenge to pull off. Watch and cry!
When you get tired of humans.
When you need to expand menu services.
Don’t be mad if you see your skin don’t fit. Mama always said to moisturize!
Gaga & Beyonce Video Debut: Telephone 9pm PST Or you can just watch it here, now 🙂
Beyonce looks delish with the gorgeous cat eyes, and Betty bangs.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Behind the scenes on Gaga’s video, Bad Romance, with director Francis Lawrence and cinematographer.
The meaning of the video? No, it wasn’t aliens that took her away. Just the Russian Mob King buying a slave. Smokin’

Everything is a little more relaxed down under, but even so, fashion, or lack thereof, is used to make a statement. In this case, Air New Zealand bares all but body paint to get passengers to do a double take and watch the safety videos.
The actors, all ANZ employees, sport an array of uniform types while hiding sensitive bits behind strategically placed lap belts, doors and inflatable life preservers. It’s a great example of a company using a humorous bit of shock value to get the tongues wagging and keep eyeballs glued to the screen.
Shame on YouTube blocking embedding of this video. You must see Susan Boyle – a 47 year old, unemployed woman from a “collection of villages” crush the stereotypes and competition. She is clearly full of gumption and mad pipes! She’ll be living her dream from here on out.It is incredible, here is a version from Daily Motion

I Dreamed a Dream (lyrics)from Les Miserables
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame.
And still
I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…
I had a dream my life would be
So different form this hell I’m living
so different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

2008 is the year for the animal kingdom and beauty. Working dogs are so passe. This time around we see the rise of the fish pedicure, and now the snake massage.
Located in Israel, Barak’s Snake Spa features a variety of the cold-blooded creatures, including Corn and King snake. Using their winding ways across belly, face and limbs, the snakes “knead” out tension – which may or may not have been created by the treatment itself.
It actually looks intriguing, especially when you see the little guys in action. 
If you don’t like doing it reptile style, Barak also offers the pitter-patter of rat & mice on the soles of feet. Wondering if one treatment feeds off of the other, if you get my drift…
We’ve been excited to have a few customers from the Wieden + Kennedy firm, which creates amazing ads. This one is no exception. I think everyone likes to reflect on life paths, how/when they intersect with others. Just a cool piece.
Thanks to badbanana for the original post.
Two thumbs up for one of the most creative angles ever taken in advertising!
We’re not one to promote a certain body type or image, but it is hard to deny the amazing transformation of Mimi. This girl is shining. Maybe it was flying in the trainer from St. Barts that gave that extra ‘oomph’ to her willpower? Kudos, girlfriend, for finding your extra-happy weight. Comes at a good time too…You just know breaking all of those Elvis records would have brought on a certain, late 70’s, poly jumpsuit comparison. No one can go there now! Now bring on the music.
If you recognize anyone from this video or this event in general, please contact us! Thanks 🙂

Billy b has been busy lately! If you’ve been keeping track you know, among many other things, he produced a series of looks for Bravo’s “Make Me A SuperModel” (including Holly’s winning look – which was on fire).
He’d also been working on a pilot for Bravo, which sadly didn’t get picked up. Focused more on his efforts to help his town in Aberdeen, MS save their history, it highlights Billy’s town facelift project. Following is an excerpt from Shannon Nelson’s interview with Billy last year and clip from the pilot:
To be honest, I was not looking for a show, but it was this show came to me.
billy b:I am from Aberdeen Mississippi, which is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. It is struggling like most small towns in America. At one time in the late 1800’s it was rich with cotton etc., which produced tons of gorgeous Victorian and Antebellum houses there. There are more than 250 structures on the National Register of Historic places in this town of 4000. Now there is no industry there and farmers are struggling and these houses were being lost due to neglect and no one having the money to keep them up. There is little opportunity for young people and these houses, which had once been passed down generation after generation, were being left behind, torn down or falling down. I began buying the houses to save them and a writer (Isabel Gonzales) was on a job with me and we chatted about what I was doing there. To make a long story short, she pitched it to The New York Times and my story was featured on the cover of the Home and Garden section. The television producers started calling and I signed a development deal with World Of Wonder productions, and Bravo loved the idea.
The show is about my life juggling doing makeup within New York and Hollywood for magazines, music videos and celebrities on the Red Carpet, but contrasted with my other life of saving these houses with my down home crew helping. It is just me, my 74 year old (pistol toting mom), my ex-con, good ole boy contractor Cecil and trust me the hilarity begins. Who knows if the show will even make it to television, but I am excited about how it might help my little hometown. I am excited about the possibility!
Shannon: Rebuilding your hometown is something you are passionate about, at what point did you decide that this was something you wanted to do and were you worried about how you would get it done?
billy b: I am SO passionate about it and it began a long time ago, actually. I had been living in NYC for years and would go home and see this place where I grew up dying. It made me sad. The houses are so beautiful and so incredibly inexpensive, so I just started buying them. I didn’t have a plan and still don’t LOL! I just do what I need to do as its needed and I worry about the rest later. I have saved about 20 houses and have 17 at the moment. It is a huge struggle, but a struggle I enjoy. It is another creative outlet for me other than doing makeup. Like the name of the show, “The Beauty Foundation,” there are a lot of similarities. I love the art of transformation and making something the best it can be. Whether it is a face or a house, I live for it.
Beautifully, he’s saving real estate and helping people at the same time. He’s Oprah on a smaller scale!

Are you besting the cold & sniffle season, or is the cold & sniffle season besting you? An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure! Here are some favorites to be proactive (or if it is too late, to nurse back to health):
Traditional Medicinals: The Season Herb Tea Sampler gives a great selection with Gypsy Cold Care, Organic Echinacea Plus, Throat Coat and Breathe Easy
Note: Echinacea should not be taken when you are in the middle of a cold as it will prolong it. It is used at the beginning to stop the illness from taking hold. Also, avoid using cow milk to blend with your tea at this time as cow milk increases mucous production
Airborne: Amazing preventative, especially when flying, great when you start to feel something coming on.
Manuka Honey: I buy a 25+ grade now available at Whole Foods, and raised my son on this with Rooibos tea. Manuka has wonderful properties for internal & external use, and a delicious, almost chewy texture. Sorry, this is not a vegan option!
Tea Tree steams: Nothing unplugs the nasal passages (and clears those pores) like a good steam. Run the humidifier!
Sleep, sleep, sleep: Your body needs zzzzzz to stay healthy. Make sure you are getting your beauty rest.
