Whether you're a guy trying to spruce up your look, or a girl searching for fashion ideas to pass on to your better half, looking to the celebs is a great way to get inspired (don't feel bad they always look so put-together, they have professionals helping them).

If you're a guy, you are likely a visual creature, so even though you might know that blazers look awesome, pulling them off is another story. Seeing exactly how a celeb like Jude Law pulls it together with an outfit can be exactly what you need to figure out how to do it yourself.

And if you're the girl trying to help inspire your dashing young man look a little more snazzy (or maybe he already has that covered and you're looking for a fashionable Christmas gift for him), this list will inspire you without breaking the bank (all of these looks are totally affordable -- you can check out the original article on AskMen for tips on where to find sleek blazers at great prices).

1. Andrew Garfield, The Social Network (2010) (click here to see where you can get the look)



Eduardo Saverin kills it in this three-piece suit, but it's really just the well-cut coat that counts. Wear it with a suit for that killer-instincts look, pair it with jeans for accessible-take-me-anywhere style or accent it with good browns for an intellectual aura.

2. Jude Law, Alfie (2004) (click here to see where you can get the look)



If you are only going to have one blazer, this is it. Classic navy, cut well and with great lines. Jude Law's Alfie had but the one and wore it like a second skin. Does the man become the blazer or the blazer become part of the man?

3. Daniel Craig, Skyfall (2012) (click here to see where you can get the look)



It's hard to argue with Bond's choice to pair this sport coat with a white shirt. His tie really makes it -- all classic Bond, for sure. But imagine, if you will, Daniel Craig wearing this with a black shirt and black skinny tie. Perfect coat for both sides of a man.

4. Leonardo DiCaprio, The Aviator (2004) (click here to see where you can get the look)



Though he strayed from the formula as a man, (if not rewrote the formula), Hughes' style was classic and exuded (somehow) the perfect amount of opulence. This two-button blazer is today's perfect amount of opulence -- given that accessibility is now an attribute.

5. Matt Damon, The Adjustment Bureau (2011) (click here to see where you can get the look)



David Norris: The accessible politician in triple-blue-threat wardrobe. Step away from all the blues, and you can take this door-opening jacket and make it your own. Naturally, it would pair well with khaki chinos, a black jeans/black tee combo and, of course, a good fedora.

6. Brad Pitt, Ocean's Twelve (2004) (click here to see where you can get the look)



What else would you want to be wearing if your car just blew up and you wanted to demonstrate that you aren't phased? A tux? Too much. Navy blazer? Out of your element. Checked sport coat? Perfect. This coat will send the message that you cannot be ruffled.

7. Steve McQueen, Bullitt (1968) (click here to see where you can get the look)



One could certainly still pair this olive plaid sport coat with a turtleneck, especially if you say very little and at least stand next to a 1968 Mustang GT. If that's not your thing, you can certainly rock it with all black underneath by night or earth tones by day.

8. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Inception (2010) (click here to see where you can get the look)



A navy plaid sports coat can convey a "dangerous genius" look. Or, at the very least, "willing to take risks and really smart." Be prepared to answer questions correctly and confidently when sporting this coat -- especially if you keep all the accents blue. Be that "go-to guy" with this one.

9. Michael Fassbender, The Counselor (2013) (click here to see where you can get the look)



The counselor's choice to wear this camel-hair sport coat is indisputable. The richness of the color combined with the weight and thickness of the fibers shows the wearer has impeccable judgment. Consider earth tones underneath.

10. Ben Affleck, Runner Runner (2013) (click here to see where you can get the look)



Bad guys and herringbone? Nope, it's not an expression. Handsome guys and herringbone? That's a little better, but still not an expression. This handsome herringbone sport coat can be used to intimidate with your style or impress with your character.

If this list has inspired you to get yourself a blazer (or buy one as a gift for your boyfriend), make sure to check out the original AskMen article for examples of great brands to achieve the look without breaking the bank.

Which color will dominate everything from runways to room walls come 2015? Well, it depends who you ask. According to Benjamin Moore, "a neutral that's natural" will dominate, as in the sage-meets-chartreuse hue called Guilford Green that the brand named its pick for 2015. Over at Pantone, color is trending toward more "nature-like neutrals," as well, Apartment Therapy reports. And while the folks at Sherwin-Williams also got the memo about designers' move toward the cooler and softer side of the color spectrum, its prediction is decidedly more... pink.

Behold, Sherwin-Williams' 2015 Color Of The Year: Coral Reef.





According to Sherwin-Williams, Coral Reef is "the perfect mélange of pink, orange and red... reminiscent of vintage floral patterns and inspired by the trend for green urban spaces." And it's been on the color trend radar before. A similar hue called Burnt Sienna made Pantone's earthy '70s palette -- a grouping of colors brought on by the recession and the country's environmental movement -- while Sunkist Coral topped color expert Diana Hathaway Timmons' 2015 colors-to -watch list earlier this year. The hue's likeness to spring peonies makes it an instant HuffPost Home fave.

By guest blogger Renee James, humorist and blogger

Let me go on record here: I don't understand the point of the Hollaback video.

In case you've been on Neptune for the past week or two, here's the story. An actress, Shoshana B. Roberts, took a casual 10-hour stroll through New York City neighborhoods while a video producer, Rob Bliss, accompanied her. Using a small portable camera strapped to his back, he surreptitiously filmed her as walked in front of her while she held two microphones in her hands. In order to create a neutral and unassuming appearance, Ms. Roberts dressed casually, in jeans and a black crewneck T-shirt.

The resulting two-minute or so compilation tape, produced by a viral-video marketing agency, revealed the following: Men noticed Shoshana. The team recorded some 100 "catcalls," and the edited piece highlights this "street harassment." An organization called Hollaback is working to bring an end to this for women everywhere.*

I've watched the compilation several times. Before I go any further, I admit that whatever catcalling I may have been personally subjected to--which feels minimal and immaterial--is long in my rearview mirror. Then again, I didn't work in a large metropolitan area as a young woman and walk the streets daily to go about my life. And since I'm not an attractive actress in my 20s in Manhattan, I have no idea what women like Shoshana hear in public every day. But if this tape represents that experience and widespread "harassment," I'm very confused.

My only reference is the compiled evidence, documenting this "pervasive issue affecting women around the world." Out of the 100 catcalls, the tape includes approximately 30 encounters, and features the following verbal assaults:

"How are you this morning?

"Have a nice evening.

"What's up, Miss?

"Have a nice evening, darlin'.

"What's up, beautiful? Have a good day."

Note: Joey Tribbiani (Friends) is alive and well in New York. Several of the men who spoke to Shoshana offered his familiar catchphrase, "How you doin'?" by way of introduction. (In the unenlightened '90s, we used to think this was amusing.)

Slight variations included:

"What's up, girl? How you doin'?

"How you doin' today?

"How you doin'...good?"

Shoshana was also subjected to these:

"Hello, good morning. God bless you; have a good day, alright?

"God bless.

"Hi, beautiful.

"What's up, beautiful? Have a good day."

Were there some greetings that were more aggressive, more sexually charged? Yes. Several men said "Damn!" or "Damn, girl!" Or "Hey, baby." Or "Nice!" "Sweetie!" There were two creepy guys, as well, who walked beside Shoshana for a few minutes, one silently and one who attempted to talk with her but got no response.

I can only assume the video offers a representative sampling of her day. If that's true, out of the 100 or so, 2 percent of the guys were stalker-ish, although, given the public setting, not overtly threatening her harm. A little scary and uncomfortable, for sure, and in a more remote area, they would be frightening. (Then again, if a man is intent on overpowering a woman, he will, regardless of the setting. Ask Carlesha Freeland-Gaither.) But these two don't represent the majority by a long shot. Call me naive, but many of the men were what we used to call "friendly." Sure, friendly and maybe a little desperate, since it's unlikely the next woman (or the next or the next) who hears that "How you doin'?" line will stop and chat.

Help me understand this. If a man--a stranger--says, "How are you this morning?" or "Have a nice evening" to a woman--a stranger--on the street, we're to interpret this as sexual harassment? What if he says, "God bless you--have a good day, alright?" Still harassment?

Uninvited? Yes. Too aggressive and intrusive? Maybe. But here's the thing: It's not all men. It's not even most men. Shoshana probably passed thousands while being taped for 10 hours and heard from just over 100 of them, so it's fair to say only some men do this. And maybe it's only "offensive" when it comes from a stranger. Some of these very same comments from men she knows, the guy selling bagels, the one filling the fruit stand, the bus driver--men she encounters every day on her typical and regular route--would not be interpreted in a negative way.

So we've learned the following: Over the period of 10 hours in a city like New York, a young, attractive woman will be subjected to come-ons and unsolicited comments, from some men. She will also encounter a few strange guys who don't know how to meet women and therefore behave inappropriately.

And now we have it on tape to prove it.

*This is not a worldwide "problem," by the way. The New Zealand Herald tried to replicate the video, and just two men approached the woman: one to ask directions and one who tried to start a conversation with Nicola, the woman on tape.

Renee A. James works at Rodale Inc. and also wrote an award-winning op-ed column for The Morning Call, the Allentown, PA, newspaper, for almost 10 years. Her essays were included in the humor anthology, 101 Damnations: A Humorists' Tour of Personal Hells (Thomas Dunne Books, 2002), and are also found online at Jewish World Review and The Daily Caller. She invites you to Like her Facebook page, where she celebrates--and broods about--life on a regular basis, mostly as a voice in the crowd that shouts, "Really? You're kidding me, right?" (or wants to, anyway), and she welcomes your suggestions, comments, and feedback to the mix.

Solange Knowles wedded her long time love Alan Ferguson over the weekend. Of course, this cool chick didn't give us traditional blushing bride. The 28-year-old singer went for a modern and chic white gown with a cape. Her wedding portraits were also unconventional -- no cheesy, staged, tight group photo. It's very American Horror Story: The Knowles. While many appreciated Solange's hip wedding day style, her bridal hairdo was either largely criticized or disturbingly defended.

Major fashion websites, like Harper's Bazaar for instance, posted images of the newlywed on Facebook with the caption "Gorgeous." I clicked the comment section and found a full-on debate over why Solange decided to rock an afro for her big day. See my screen caps below.







Earlier I said that her hairdo was also "disturbingly defended." I call the defense disturbing because it is unsettling that we have to constantly go to great lengths to explain, support and justify the hair that naturally grows out of our head. I'm am over people calling natural hair "edgy" and "different." I'm abstract because I don't grow straight hair? I know natural hair is beautiful but I hate how much we have to stress how beautiful it is just to convince the world that we are secure with ourselves.

The commenter that suggested Solange to "brush her hair" is a result of challenged beauty standards. We've been forced to achieve European beauty goals for so long that it is basically a threat to achieve anything other. Another commenter, a white woman whose profile picture was her own bridal photo in which she dons a sleek updo, commented "Really?? Gorgeous??.." What she really meant to say is: How dare a black woman find strength, power and beauty without my culture's influence?

Those offended by black hair felt a sense of purpose after posting their hateful comments, no doubt. "Ugly" was a favorite word of choice among the haters, but nothing was uglier than the comments about 2-year-old, Blue Ivy.







You already know how this argument goes. There's a layered disturbance with this issue -- child bashing, prejudice, racism, self-hate and many other unfortunate elements. From adults suggesting that the child cut her hair (as if she grooms herself) to shaming Beyonce for wearing "beautiful weaves" while having her child look "mangled," it is a clear sign of what America's vision of beauty is. How dare anyone tell a person of color with thick coily hair to cut it down. You are suggesting that she cut down her self-esteem, her confidence, her blackness, her spirit. I have never seen or heard of anyone telling little Suri Cruise that her silky long hair needs trimming. While I don't know Beyonce's parenting style firsthand, I give it to her for never succumbing to this disgusting world of media. I admire her for defying the limited American beauty standard and raising her child to love her naturalness. I love how the more people judge baby Blue Ivy's hair, the bigger her afro gets!

To all the people against puffy, coily, curly, untamed, glorious afros: I'm sorry black hair makes you feel so uncomfortable. I'm sorry our hair defies gravity and stands tall. I'm sorry if you feel threatened and I'm sorry if you feel ashamed. Whether your distaste is a result of ignorance or self-hate, I feel sorry for you.

Solange Knowles hair is whaaaaaaack this isn't the 70's girlfriend get rid of that afro

— jess borders (@jessforyouu) November 17, 2014

Not even on her wedding day will Solange be the prettiest woman in the room. Meanwhile Bey got her fans blowing her hair perfectly.

— A N T H O N Y (@CauseimTillis) November 17, 2014

Solange looks so ugly with her nappy ass hair I hope she gets a weave

— Yasmin (@hoIybeyonce) November 17, 2014

Circling back to the topic at hand, Solange was a gorgeous bride with her gorgeous lipstick, her gorgeous dress, her gorgeous smile and her gorgeous afro. Whether or not Vogue, Marie Claire or Brides Magazine decide to list this type of glamour on their style list, doesn't matter. Get used to it America, women of color are finally embracing our own beauty. The fro won't go.

Raven-Symone has gone peach for the holidays.

The post has since received more than 300,000 likes on Facebook.

Symone isn't afraid to experiment with different hairstyles, like shaved sides and even a rainbow effect.

With nearly 16 million Instagram followers and over 9 million on Twitter, it's no surprise that when it came time to announce her "big news" this weekend, Kendall Jenner flexed her social media muscles to reveal what is without a doubt her biggest gig to date: becoming the new face of Estée Lauder!

The reality phenomenon turned A-list model finds herself in good company at the beauty behemoth, as she joins the likes of Joan Smalls, Liu Wen, Constance Jablonski, and Stephanie Seymour on the brand's roster of spokesmodels. According to a press release, she'll appear in print, TV, and digital advertising, as well as "play an active role in creating social media content that will live on Estée Lauder's channels as well as her own."

Of course, a quick glimpse of her Instagram feed provides all the evidence you need that she's primed and ready for the coveted role. In terms of young, arresting beauty, Kendall is the complete package: there's the flawless skin, the head of glossy dark hair, the plump pout-- not to mention the wide-set almond-shaped eyes that seem as if they were made to rock the perfect cat-eye. Seamlessly transitioning between a fresh face and a classic, bold red lip (and on occasion, a bleached brow), Kendall proves she's well suited to uphold the company's iconic color collection -- a task we expect she'll tackle one selfie at a time.

Here, in celebration of Kendall's exciting new gig, we're taking a look back at ten of her best beauty moments on Instagram. And head over to Estee Lauder now to check out her favorite beauty picks and a first look at her behind-the-scenes images!

I love the holidays. And I love tradition. Yes sometimes the idea of more green and red decorations and another stocking just doesn't get me very excited. And apparently, I am not alone. Over a glass of champagne recently, I had to pick the brains of decorator extraordinaire Tricia Huntley, one of my favorite DC interior style experts. To give you an idea of her non-traditionalist views of decorating, the walls of her bedroom are painted solid black. "After all, she says, bedrooms are made for two things. Sleeping is one of them. Black helps." I don't bother to inquire about the second thing.

Here are her definitely un-traditional, yet elegant and affordable holiday decorations.

AP: WHY ARE YOU SO IN LOVE WITH NON-TRADITIONAL DECORATIONS FOR THE HOLIDAYS?

TH: I am drawn to non-traditional holiday decorating because it's an opportunity to express myself in a more personal way. I like to inject my style and heritage into everything I do this season - whether it's decorating or gift giving - everything has my personal touch. My friends and family can see the care I take and know I am coming from a place of love.





AP: THE TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY COLORS ARE RED AND GREEN - WHAT OTHER COLORS SPEAK TO YOU IN TERMS OF HOLIDAY DECORATIONS?

TH: I love color and especially interesting color combinations. I usually find an image (or take a photo) and let that inspire my scheme. It can be anything that is compelling to me at the time - the bark of a tree, feathers on a bird, a vintage album cover, a trip to the local garden center, a fashion layout in Vogue ... ANYTHING! As long as you have a jumping off point and a concept, you can make anything work. If you're not overly creative or adventurous, try modifying the standard green and red Christmas look by choosing an acidic, yellow-green and a deep, inky red. It's just a tweak, but it will take your holiday look to a whole new level.




AP: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE UBIQUITOUS TREE - WHAT ABOUT A "NON-TREE" FOR THE REBELLIOUS OR ADVENTUROUS TYPE?

TH: For a designer holiday showcase last year, I created a Christmas vignette in a birdcage in lieu of decorating a tree. I found a lovely pale yellow, metal birdcage, draped it with garland and filled the interior with florist's moss, artificial birds, bark, branches and gifts I wrapped in marbleized paper. It was incredible.




AP: WHAT ABOUT THE MANTLE - ANY ALTERNATIVES TO STOCKINGS?

TH: A really clever yet simple stocking alternative is to hang handmade bags. It works especially well with a cottage or country theme. Buy hemp (or burlap, linen, cotton) bags and stamp them with your family's names, silhouettes or even numbers. It will add a homespun/organic feel without being stodgy.

AP: HOW DO YOU CREATE A MANTLE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE?

TH: If you don't have a mantle, you can always create a mantle-scape on a table. Drape a console with garland, add ribbon at the corners and top the table with candles and any other accoutrements you like - fruit, family photos, taxidermy ... again, anything that speaks to you and expresses who you are.

AP: CANDLES - WHEN IS TOO MANY TOO MUCH?

TH: I don't think you can have too many candles if you execute correctly. I believe in really going for it if you like the "more is more" look. I also believe in containing the madness. Rather than placing candles on every surface, pick one area - the center of your buffet, the mantle, your front steps - and pile the candles on. It's a look with impact without the chaos of clutter.

AP: LET'S TALK ABOUT LIVING ALONE - WHAT ABOUT THE TABLE? WHAT ABOUT PLACE SETTINGS OF ONE?

TH: I am a firm believer in creating a festive atmosphere in one's home for the holidays whether you are a family of five or a family of one (or a family of one+ in the case of some of us with canine kids). Assembly isn't a prerequisite for celebration. If you live alone and have a dining table, I would look it as an opportunity to create a special holiday vignette (or spectacle if you are brave) on the table - think Bergdorf Christmas window display. Steer away from setting the table in a traditional way; one placesetting will look lonely and multiples won't represent who you really are at this point in your life. Get creative and celebrate the awesomeness of one ... and be thankful you don't have to wash a dozen dishes after dinner!

AP: WHAT ABOUT "BAR SETTINGS" - ANYTHING TO KEEP IN YOUR COCKTAIL AREA IF YOU ARE MORE OF A MIXOLOGIST THAN A COOK - SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE ALL THE TIME?

TH: That would certainly describe my entertaining style. Winter and the holiday season is definitely a time for particular flavors and cocktails. In terms of spirits, "brown" liquors such as rum, bourbon, scotch and brandy are good selections for colder months. Warm cocktails are a nice touch as are flavors such as cranberry, peppermint and cinnamon. If you are a novice or need something easy to execute, a "Cherry Frost" is a breeze to make. It is composed of black cherry liqueur, brandy, crushed ice and sparkling white wine. Top it with a maraschino cherry and you have a festive, refreshing, impressive looking cocktail perfect for a party. If you don't have a bar setup, you should buy these basics:
- cocktail shaker
- jigger
- peeler
- juicer
- long cocktail spoon

AP: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOME NON-TRADITIONAL WREATHS!

TH: This is a tough one. So many wreaths are expected and "inside the box" and those that aren't can be a bit ridiculous. I have a wreath that is constructed of white wool felt balls in a variety of sizes. It's modern yet soft and works with the mid-century architecture of my home. I hang it from an interior closet door with fuschia satin ribbon. Anything is possible if you are crafty. Of course, many of us are not. If that's the case (insert raised hand here), look at Etsy. There are brilliantly creative people on this site who will DIFY (Do It For You). One shop I like in particular is TheSeptemberTree. Her cotton wreath and bubble burlap wreaths are gorgeous.

Jaden and Willow Smith are the children of movie stars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. They were named after their parents -- a fact that still manages to go unnoticed by some, we're told. They live in Calabasas, California, and recently spoke to T Magazine about ... Well, we can't tell you what they talked about. It didn't make any sense, but we'd like to think the things they spoke about to T Magazine interviewer Su Wu, are similar to their conversations with Kylie and Kendall Jenner (because we'd really like to imagine the Jenner girls talking about quantum physics or "duality consciousness").

The interview was less about cohesive thought and more about random words strung together. Like when they were asked about their experiences with time:

WILLOW: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that’s how I know it doesn’t exist.

JADEN: It’s proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It’s relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in.

WILLOW: Because living.

Yeah, that happened. As did the following answer to the question of if they've become better at being more honest:

JADEN: Exactly. Because your mind has a duality to it. So when one thought goes into your mind, it’s not just one thought, it has to bounce off both hemispheres of the brain. When you’re thinking about something happy, you’re thinking about something sad. When you think about an apple, you also think about the opposite of an apple. It’s a tool for understanding mathematics and things with two separate realities.

You can head over to T Magazine and read everything 16-year-old Jaden and 14-year-old Willow had to say. We think your reaction will be something like this:

No matter how rock-solid you think your relationship is before tying the knot, nothing really prepares you for life as husband and wife like marriage itself.

That's why one man who is getting ready to propose reached out to the spouses of Reddit to get their firsthand advice on what to expect from married life and how to make it last. Below are 15 pieces of relationship wisdom from couples who know a thing or two about wedded bliss.

1. "The proposal and the wedding seem like such big deals before they happen, and you'll probably feel a tremendous amount of pressure to make sure everything goes perfectly. In hindsight, you realize that the details never mattered, just the results."

2. "Keep pursuing your spouse after you're married. Go on dates. Buy her flowers randomly. Hide a note somewhere that she won't find for a few days. Offer to do something that's usually her responsibility, just because. Let her know you love her -- not just by saying so, but also absolutely by saying so!"


3. "The best advice I was ever given: 'You will go through sh*t with anyone, but it's your choice who you go through it with.'"

4. "Keep in mind that marriage isn’t just about committing to the person they are now. It’s about committing to the person they’ll be five years from now, the one they’ll be in 10 years, 20, 50, etc. While the fundamental things about each of us stay the same, you’re both going to change a lot over the years. Stuff happens, good and bad. It changes you. But if you stick through it, it makes things even deeper and more amazing."

5. "You don't just marry the girl, you marry her whole family. Make sure you keep very good relations with the family if you want things to last."

6. "Go to bed angry. Let them know you love them, but you don't have to resolve every argument before sleeping. Usually you're tired and not making sense. When you wake up it'll take a few minutes to realize you're both wrong and the fight will be over."

7. "There's this new sense of 'realness' to it all after you're married. It's kind of hard to explain, but you're going to wake up some days and just look at your wife and say to yourself, 'Wow, she's going to be here every day for the rest of our lives.'"


8. "If you're looking for the perfect time, there won't be one. You have to get used to difficult times with her because those are the times that will really define your marriage. My wife and I have been through good and bad times, and if you work together, you can be stronger for it."

9. "You both must understand and agree that it is no longer 'My life, my money, my time, my career.' Everything is 'our.' You should discuss how decisions will impact both of you."

10. "Everyone will try to tell you how to act and what you guys should do. And while it's nice to have advice, remember that because every single person is different, so is every single relationship."

11. "Sticking by each other is so, so important. You need to know you have each other's backs."

12. "Learn to laugh stuff off. Living with someone else can be a challenge at times, and little stuff can begin to feel like big stuff. But you have a choice in how you react. You can decide whether some little thing that drives you crazy is a personal foible, or a ''Hill You Want To Die On Because If She Really Loved Me She Would Stop Doing It So It's Now A Metaphor For Everything That Is Wrong With Our Marriage.' Truth is, some people just don't change the toilet paper roll. It's not symbolic of anything. It's a quirk. Laugh."


13. "One of the most common questions in our marriage is 'What're you thinking and feeling?' Because it's better just to ask than spend three hours trying to figure it out."

14. "If you go into it expecting the other person to change their ways after marriage, then don't do it. You don't marry a messy slob and come home to a clean freak. If he's obsessed with video games, don't expect that he'll suddenly want to go to the farmers market and hiking on the weekends."

15. "Don't ever stop being kind to each other. Little things like saying 'please' and 'thank you', offering compliments, etc. really do make a big difference."

Historical Moustaches for Movember!

It is the halfway point of November and as you are out at the grocery store, perhaps doing a little early Thanksgiving shopping or just running errands, you become aware of the presence of many more moustaches than usual. At first you attribute it to the recent cold snap, but then you remember Movember and its awareness of men's health issues! The Minnesota Historical Society is highlighting some of the moustachioed men of the past in its photo collection. Perhaps these images can serve as inspiration for grooming as the end of the month nears? The gentlemen above sport matching moustaches that taper slightly in this 1918 photo.



This tintype, circa 1870, features a man in uniform. In addition to his well-groomed moustache, this image is notable for the hand-coloring on the tintype. Gold coloring was often added to jewelry, buttons, and trim, particularly with military uniforms.



This look, circa 1875, might have required starting earlier than November 1.



A bowler hat and cane shown in this circa 1890 photograph add a distinguished air to this gentleman's moustache.



This gentleman is also sporting a bowler hat, but other elements of his clothing are from that time period as well, particularly his detachable collar. His moustache adds to his imposing appearance.



Sometimes growing a moustache is too much of a time commitment. If that is the case, one can take a cue from these young men circa 1915 and apply a fake moustache in a fraction of the time.



This scene will be replicated in many places on December 1, hopefully with a mirror for safety's sake. This man, circa 1915, was bold enough to try in the bathtub without visual assistance.

If we were honest about drinking alcohol on a Friday night, we'd all probably admit that a) we don't like discussing craft beer as much as we pretend to and b) taking shots is the absolute worst.

But now, we've discovered a way for you to avoid those awkward facial contortions brought on by those painful moments after you take a shot and before your chaser makes everything better. Say hello to The Snapshotr, a dual-chamber shot glass designed to hold both a shot of alcohol and a chaser.



The Snapshotr was invented by Andrew Levin and Justin Altus, two friends that have known each other since they were two years old. The entrepreneurs first started developing the idea for the shot glass three years ago out of their sophomore dorms. In their Kickstarter video and emails with HuffPost Taste, Levin said that their design goal "was to have a chaser follow a shot as seamlessly as possible," plus the added bonus of using less plastic cups.

You would use The Snapshotr like this: the drinker would take the shot, give The Snapshotr a twist mid chug and the chaser would follow the alcohol. Check out the gifs below to see how it works, or watch this EDM video that explains the process:

Step 1: Pour in the chaser.


Step 2: Unlock.


Step 3: Lock to secure the filtering mechanism and chaser


Step 4: Pour in your shot


Step 5: Gulp the shot, twist to release the chaser and enjoy!


To add to the appeal, Levin and Altus boast that The Snapshotr is BPA-free, dishwasher safe and made of the virtually unbreakable Tritan plastic, which is the same material used in a Nalgene bottle. Of course, this isn't the first in shot glass innovations as, The Quaffer and Split Shooters have been around for some time.

The whole project has surpassed its $12,000 goal with 20 days left to go, and Levin and Altus are still on track to start selling their product in mid-December 2014.

Happy holidays to us, and be sure to always Snapshotr responsibly!

One performance artist is fighting back against the degradation of women's bodies -- one piece of lingerie at a time.

Actress and artist Diana Oh created a collection of 10 performance art pieces called My Lingerie Play which include her (and other women) standing in lingerie on their "soap boxes" to reclaim women's sexuality. "The problem isn't sexualization, the problem is the degradation that comes along with women expressing it," she says in the video.

In her performance pieces, Oh stands on top of a box in crowded areas in New York City such as Union Square and Time Square, and holds up different brown bags that describe the discrimination and violations women experience because our bodies are often seen as public property. Her examples include everything from catcalling to human trafficking.

"I'm choosing to create My Lingerie Play because people are threatened by the word 'lingerie' in a way that they aren't by the word 'underwear,'" Oh says in the video. "We must drop the slut shaming and dehumanizing, it feeds into unacceptable violence against women all over the world."




“The solution is not to tell women to cover up," Oh says. "The solution is not to tell women to keep chaste. The solution is not to tell women to stop being sexual beings.. The solution is to change the way we are talked about."

Check out Oh's first of 10 installations for My Lingerie Play below.

Shopping for denim doesn't have to be an exercise in exhaustion. Promise. A little like a push-up bra for your booty, the perfect pair of jeans can instantly lift and lengthen your appearance. Since classic blue jeans will never go out of style, its important to invest in ones that do your body good. With that in mind, I've gone ahead and done some of the legwork for you...literally!

Whether you have a curvy body, are pint sized, or have legs for days, my tips from my NBC style segment on Kerri-lee Mayland's show, will solve all your denim conundrums.

Body Type: Pint Sized
While a petite body type can wear almost any denim style, it's important to show off your pint sized curves the right way, and skinnies do just that. Be sure to select ones with a length that hits just at the ankle bone to highlight the smallest part of your leg and throw on a pair of stilettos for an elongating effect. The beauty of body-hugging skinnies not only lies in their versatility, but also because they instantly add femininity and definition to narrow hips. Be sure to choose a pair with nylon fill technology for comfort and durability as well as small pockets placed high on the butt to amp up your assets. If you're looking to broaden your horizons, a bootcut jean can create the illusion of curves in women with straighter body types, especially when chosen in a dark hue. 
My brand recommendation? James Jeans Couture Collection or Jbrand

Body Type: Lean Mean Machine
For girls who have toned, athletic bodies, your best bet is to both highlight and create curves while evening out your hard earned shape at the same time. With that in mind a mid-rise bootcut, or flared jean that are fitted around the thighs and more relaxed around the calves and ankles should be your go-to denim style. A deep denim wash will have a streamlining effect on your thighs, while the wider leg opening and longer hemline will create the illusion of more narrow calves and longer legs.
My brand recommendation? Jbrand, Citizens of Humanity or Seven for all Mankind

Body Type: Curves Ahead
Girls with beautiful curvy body types may want to select a style that will create a slimming effect while highlighting their shape. To show off your curves, the goal is to pick a pair that hugs your assets and flatters not-so-favorite features. Since faded jeans or light hues can thicken the look of your thighs, I recommend sticking to the uniformly dark wash which shaves inches off lower body, while the higher rise offsets fuller hips, and the waistband is cut to give shape to the waist. Be sure to choose a pair that have been constructed with rear pockets that are placed close together and angled inward slightly to make your bottom appear smaller.
My brand recommendation? Joes Jeans Curvy Bootcut

Body Type: Legs For Days
If you're lanky and lean, go ahead and show off your legs in a pair of high-rise jeans to accommodate your longer torso. If you're looking to balance yourself out, opt for low-rise jeans that will help give your shape the proportion you're looking for. Choose denim with a curved waistband to keep any belly bulk at bay, and strategically placed back pockets to add a bit of curve to your frame.
My brand recommendation? The Paige skyline skinny jean

Janice Dickinson Alleges That She Was 'Sexually Assaulted' By Bill Cosby

Iconic supermodel Janice Dickinson accused Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her in an interview broadcast on Tuesday. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Dickinson said that the alleged incident occurred when the two met to discuss a potential role for her on "The Cosby Show" back in 1982.

"He gave me wine and a pill. The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man," she said.

Dickinson had previously made the assault claims in her 2002 biography, but the tale went relatively unnoticed at the time. This is the first time that she has made public comment about the incident. The 59-year-old former model said she wanted to reveal her story to lend credit to the other women who have spoken out recently against Cosby.

"I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do, and it happened to me, and this is the true story," she said. "I believe all the other women."

Watch a clip from the ET interview above.

Dickinson is the latest in a series of women who have made sexual assault allegations against the 77-year-old comic.

On Sunday, publicist and journalist Joan Tarshis said that Cosby assaulted her twice when she was a young aspiring actress. Last week, artist Barbara Bowman published a powerful essay in the Washington Post detailing similar abuse. Cosby has been accused of sexual abuse for years, but has never been criminally charged. He settled a civil suit with one of his accusers in 2006.

NPR's Weekend Edition pressed Cosby about the rumors in an interview that aired Saturday, but he remained silent. On Sunday, the comedian's lawyer released a statement about the allegations:

Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives." - John P. Schmitt, lawyer for Bill Cosby

Cosby's rep and lawyer did not immediately return requests for comment about Dickinson's claims.
