NAILING IT
THE STORY BEHIND M·A·C COSMETICS NAIL TREND F/W ‘09 BY JIN SOON
When M·A·C Cosmetics and renowned nail artist Jin Soon Choi came together, it was a true meeting of fashion-forward minds with trend-setting style. A permanent fixture backstage at Fashion Week and an editorial darling, Jin Soon has worked with renowned designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam, J.Mendel, Matthew Williamson, and Doo.Ri, as well as venerable photographers Steven Meisel, Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Craig McDean and Michael Thompson. She is also famous for making A-list celebrity hands and feet as flawless and glamorous as their faces.
After 20 years of working in the fashion and beauty industry, Jin Soon is one of the most influential nail stylists in the business. For her first-ever brand collaboration, she had a clear vision: highly pigmented, bold nail colours with a long-lasting, high-shine cream finish. With that direction, M·A·C Product Development experts set out to develop a F/W ‘09 trend-driven nail collection that would appeal to beauty and fashion addicts everywhere. The complete collection includes six rich, opaque shades with editorial flair and depth, as well as an Underlacquer and an Overlacquer, all formulated to strengthen and fortify nails.
Over the past few seasons, nails have become more influential, making a serious impact on the fashion runway, and are now viewed as an extension of hair and makeup styling. During the Fall/Winter ‘09 Collections, Doo.Ri, known for her beautiful, draped silhouettes, wanted to reflect the edgy look of her fall collection and chose Beyond Jealous (a blackened blue/green shade), to complete the models’ looks. Rocking-out the "of-the-moment" nail colour is just as important as wearing the "it" pant, jacket or stiletto. Nails have become an essential fashion accessory!
Nail Trend F/W ‘09 by Jin Soon Choi, visibly M·A·C in form and finish, will be coveted worldwide by fashionable women on a quest for beauty, style and self-expression. This is the perfect marriage between an iconic, cutting-edge makeup brand and a top celebrity nail stylist.

Hot Mess Monday - Mena Suvari


Here is Mena Suvari looking like a hot mess. This outfit really confuses me. She looks like she is wearing 3 scarves or something, very raggedy. Her tights are extremely tight, she really could have gone a size up. Her white top is unfortunately too short. I don't think she has the right body type to be rocking leggings and short shirts. I won't even say anything about that face...it's a shame. Poor girl.

Fabulous Friday - Audrina Patridge


Happy Friday everyone! This week I have picked Audrina to be the celeb for Fabulous Friday. I think she looks casual and chic in a basic white t-shirt and a pair of tye dyed Divine Rights of Denim jeans paired with platform peep toe pumps. Lovely - for a casual afternoon! I'm not sure if I like her hair dark or golden...thoughts?

The Makeup Artistry Maverick Collaborates With Three Renowned Artists: Make-Up Art Cosmetics

This season M·A·C celebrates the idea of the Artist in every shade and stripe…makeup as art form. M·A·C has selected three individuals who exemplify this idea through both the subjects they choose, and the wildly individual styles and colours used to convey them. Bold, heroic, big; giggly, playful, clever; dramatic, original, abstract: Fall ’09 as seen by Richard Phillips, Maira Kalman, and Marilyn Minter. Be inspired!

FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY RICHARD PHILLIPS, PAINTER
Using the expert skills of a photo-retoucher, Richard subjected his own painting to a M·A·C makeover with the new eye shadows, blushes and lipsticks. A collection of Eye Shadow quads, Lipsticks, Lipglass, and The Perfect Cheek Blush just leap off the canvas!

FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY MAIRA KALMAN, ILLUSTRATOR
Famous for her whimsical visual diaries, Maira Kalman performed a bit of magic with M·A·C's new Technakohl Eye Liners and Eye Shadows, instantly drafting a captivating look at a stranger.
FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY MARILYN MINTER, PHOTOGRAPHER
Minter’s erotic imagery zooms in on a succulently wet, red lip, a dappled, sequined eye, or a silverized stiletto splashing in the mud. Pigments in Push the Edge and Copper or Gold Glitter have the power to make anyone feel like they WILL be seen – and desired. That gift for sparkle is one reason Minter was a natural for the high-key glitter pigments in Make-Up

M·A·C Make-Up Art Cosmetics will be available for a limited time starting August 20, 2009.

Canada's Next Top Model - Addison Gill



Addison Gill, Canada’s true next top model, is your average 16 year old high school student from Caledonia a small place tucked away in Ontario, who has been lucky enough to walk some of the prestigious runways. Addison was discovered by Sutherland Models president Ann Sutherland. “I thought she was absolutely beautiful, the type of model who could shoot the biggest campaigns in the world” says Sutherland. Not only has Addison been strutting her stuff down the catwalk, she was also submitted to a model search for V Magazine, and despite a mouth full of braces, she was chosen as the winner. Shortly after her V Magazine shoot, Addison walked the runways of Milan, Paris and New York. She has been booked by Calvin Klein, Valentino and Gianfranco Ferre just to name a few. Addison is on her way to becoming a supermodel. She is explained to be both beauty and brains, with maturity well beyond her age. Could she possibly be the next Coco Rocha? She certainly has potential to be.

Here are some shots of Addison at work…















Go Addison! Make Canada proud!

Kim Kardashian as a Blonde





So, she really did it this time. I am going to blame it on her break up with Reggie Bush. It doesn't look awful, but she is better as a brunette. That dress looks extremely fug on her though...Hot Mess Monday times two today...
Kourtney looks great though!
What do you all think of Kim's new hair?

Hot Mess Monday - Heidi Montag


Why is Heidi Montag such an attention wh*re, you ask? Well, maybe it's because she has zero talent and has to strut around town looking like a disco barbie to get people to pay any attention to her. Here is Mrs. Spratt looking like a major moron at the G.I Joe Rise of the Cobra premiere in a sheer sequin top, short shorts (so classy) and Christian Louboutin booties. Usually, Louboutin can do no wrong in my eyes, but these booties make me want hurl. I'm not even going to say anything about her hair and make up because if I have to examine her again the sparkle from her sequins may destroy my eye sight.

Thanks for coming out, Montag. Try to dress with some class next time.

Happy Monday...
