She Shoots Dick Pics For A Living. Why Didn't You Think Of This? (NSFW)

And she's guaranteed tips.


Soraya Doolbaz excels at penis portraits (dick pics to most of you out there), and she gets up to $10,000 for limited edition prints.


In the New York Post video above, Doolbaz explains how she went from trading dick pics with girlfriends to dressing up schlongs in little doll outfits and shooting them as a so-called "Penis Fashion Photographer." Her work often features prominent figures such as "Donald The Dick Trump" and Kim Dong-un.










There's a few delicate details to work out during posing sessions, like getting the guy to be aroused ("Obviously the girl would fluff," she says matter of factly) but it all works out.


Doolbaz's work is reminiscent of the Tumblr "Things My Dick Does," which features an often-costumed real penis called "Little Dude" who loves adventures. But we're pretty sure the person behind "Things My Dick Does" hasn't been invited to exhibit at Art Basel like Doolbaz has.


She's also created quite a business.


"At first people asked if they could buy smaller prints for the bathroom," she told The Huffington Post. "Then women asked about bachelorette merchandise. I realized I could create a whole line of products and people could choose the character that spoke to them. And the dick dynasty was born."

The Afro-Caribbean-Inspired Dolls That Should've Existed A Long Time Ago

More and more brands like Naturally Perfect Dolls and Natural Girls United are filling a void by offering dolls with more Afrocentric features, allowing little black girls the ability to play with dolls that actually look like them.


Now we can add Malaville dolls to the growing list. Created by international model Mala Bryan, the dolls come in different shades of brown with a variety of hair curls, coils and textures. They also wear some fun African- and Caribbean-inspired outfits.

Bryan used to decorate dolls for kids in her hometown in St. Lucia. She said she was bothered, though, when the only dolls she could find were white. So several years later, in 2015, she took matters into her own hands.


"I made the decision to go ahead with the dolls because I could not find affordable kinky or curly haired black/brown dolls to add to my Barbie collection," Bryan told The Huffington Post via email. "There are lots of adult doll collectors that would reroot black Barbie dolls with more natural hair but they are usually quite expensive... I notice[d] that there was a high demand for them so that was one of the main things I noted."


She launched her first collection of four uniquely designed dolls named Maisha, Mala B, Malina and Mhina. She said it took her about seven months to design them all. Bryan has also created a world for the dolls to live in. When they aren't thriving in their imaginary careers, they're on world adventures with Bryan, as seen on her Instagram.

"I believe that diverse representation is extremely important because children tend to associate their dolls with their playmate," Bryan told HuffPost. She explained that children need to have dolls they can relate to, so ensuring the dolls have curly and kinky hair and different complexions was a priority when creating the line. 


Bryan plans to expand her Malaville to include more dolls with different facial features, skin tones and hair colors. She's also collaborating with some African and Caribbean fashion designers to create a Malaville clothing line. 


Overall, Bryan is pleased with how inclusive her dolls are for little black girls. 


"My dolls mean the world to me," she said. "Somehow they bring out a certain type of joy in me and that one of the things I'm hoping that they're able give lots of happiness and joy to those to get them."

Noelle Spinosa On Big Hairy Audacious Goals

2016-01-13-1452716674-9498544-noelle.jpg


Noelle Spinosa is a business leader, mom, and hair and make-up artist who has been making people beautiful for more than 25 years at her Noelle Salon. Her salon is the Boston area leader in hair extensions, hair color, and hair loss solutions, and she has made a name for herself not just by becoming the stylist to celebrities, but also by dedicating her time to finding hair solutions for those suffering from Trichotillomania, Alopecia, and other conditions resulting in thinning or hair loss. Noelle Salon has always been known for having all colors and textures of hair extensions in stock, but even more exciting is that Noelle is now branching out into her own line of hair extensions and hair care products in an effort to make it even easier for people to expose their beauty.

In a world where there are salons on every street corner, Noelle has built a massive beauty empire by cultivating a killer culture among her team members, differentiating her product offering, and through niche marketing. She's a dreamer, doer, and empire builder extraordinaire. Here are 4 lessons on how to achieve your B-HAGs, Big Hairy Audacious Goals in business and life, from Noelle Spinosa.

Those Who Need You the Most:
Noelle says that one of the keystones to her business success is that she has built a business by catering to the needs of clients who need her the most, people with hair loss. Many years ago, Noelle was one of the first salons to offer hair extensions. Originally she thought that her clientele would be women who wanted to have fuller, more luxurious hair. What she soon found was that her phone began ringing with two types of hair extension clients; women and transgender women who were seeking a longer or fuller look as well as people with thinning or extreme hair loss. Soon, Noelle was digging in and learning about the different types of hair loss and learning new ways in which she could help. It wasn't long before she was an expert in helping people with Trichotillomania or Alopecia regain their confidence, starting with a full head of hair. Noelle is passionate about this niche area of her business. Over the years, she has expanded and changed the hair extensions offered at her salon, always opting for real human hair that is weaved in such a way that nobody can tell that they are extensions. Still noticing that there was room for improvement in the offerings available for hair extensions, Noelle recently opted to design her own line of extensions which are available through her salon, including her patented design clip in hair extensions that are so secure that nothing causes them to slip out. Noelle says that achieving your big goals in life is so much easier when your goals align with the needs of the clients. She says that if you are willing to help clients solve hard problems, you set yourself up for success.

Culture Matters: Noelle says that her success is powered by an amazing team of artists who care about each other, the salon, and the customers. She says that you cannot just pull a stylist off the street and assume they are going to work well within your environment. Noelle says that when she's interviewing candidates for her firm, she is looking for someone who cares about people and someone who is deeply passionate about their art. Talent is a minimum standard, says Noelle, and she says it's not enough to be successful at her salon. Noelle says that the customers who come into the salon are like a blank canvas and they are trusting the stylists and make-up artists with their outward beauty and their self-confidence, and so she will only hire people who understand the importance of what they've been entrusted with. I was in the salon getting my hair and make-up done as I interviewed Noelle, and what I noticed was a girlfriend like camaraderie among the clients and the artists. Women were chatting about life, business, challenges, struggles, and fears while the artists and stylists were listening, offering advice, and making them even more beautiful. The vibe of the salon felt anything but customer/service provider - it felt like a girl's night out.

2016-01-13-1452717561-1676723-noelle3.jpg


Go Old School: Noelle's mom and dad came to the United States from Italy. Growing up, Noelle always remembers her mom mixing ingredients together to make shampoo and hair conditioners. She noticed early on that that the women in the family all had long, thick hair, and so many years later Noelle decided to start mixing botanicals and exotic oils to duplicate what her mom had created years earlier at home. This resulted in Noelle launching her own line of hair care products, called Pure, including shampoo, conditioner, and hair growth elixir. Her products come in beautiful pink and black packaging, uniquely designed to make them easily recyclable and biodegradable.

2016-01-13-1452716934-9091331-noelle7.jpg

Invest In Your Passion 24/7: Noelle's final secret to success is that she's so passionate about her business that she is working in or on her business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When she's not in the salon working, she's working on her salon from somewhere else. She says that the first time getting hair extensions is like the first time getting plastic surgery, the client has tons of questions. Noelle makes herself available to answer questions and she's constantly educating her clients about hair, make-up, and beauty through her websites and blogs. I asked her if she ever gets tired of being on 24 hours a day and Noelle says she'd have it no other way. She's happiest when she is immersed in her business and she is in a state of pure joy when her salon gives a woman back her self-confidence, which is a regular occurrence at Noelle Salon.

At the end of the day, Noelle Spinosa says that her Big Hairy Audacious Goal in life is to make people beautiful, because beauty inspires confidence, and the massive empire she has built, Noelle Salon, is simply a byproduct of living her passion.

A Vogue Editor Names Her Favorite Beauty Experts

$

It is a rare, precious occurrence to be able to sit down with the former beauty editor of Vogue, and was one of my highlights of 2015. I don't get tongue-tied meeting Brad Pitt, but Sarah Brown, well, I have to admit being a little shy and awkward at first as we sat down for tea. Luckily she immediately put me at ease and the conversation naturally turned to beauty, skin care products, dermatologists, treatments, hair color, and the like. Naturally, I couldn't help but to ask her about her favorite New York City beauty addresses. Below, in her own words, Sarah Brown's NYC favorites, and her perfect beauty day. Enjoy!

Best hair addresses: cut, color, style, blow-dry

CUTS
Masterful, sunshiny Oscar Blandi has been cutting my hair forever and ever. When I met him, I had a shoulder-length nondescript cut. Now I have a signature. Tim Rogers, at the elegant Sharon Dorram at Sally Hershberger Salon on the Upper East Side, is another favorite. A super-charming Brit, he does a lot of magazine work, and looks like a young Yves Saint Laurent, to boot. Serge Normant--another powerhouse, especially great for long hair, and longtime stylist to Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker--recently opened a chic space in a Chelsea townhouse, with a wall grafittied by Donald Robertson. For more affordable cuts, with an infusion of East Village edge, the tiny atelier White Rose Collective is a model and fashion editor favorite. Teddi Crandford, trained by editorial hair wizard Guido Palau, and her team of stylists and makeup artists are my top recommendation for special events and weddings, as well.

COLOR
Kyle White, at Oscar Blandi, is the king of believable color. His super-bright, beautifully blended blonde has never let me down. For edgier color, I recommend Victoria Hunter (the model whisperer) at Whittmore House in the West Village, and Aura Friedman (a celeb favorite) at Sally Hershberger Downtown.

Best facial
Fantastic Georgia Louise, the reigning facialist to the city's A-List (models, celebrities, socialites and beauty industry insiders) just opened a beautiful new space on the Upper East Side. London-based Su Man is another guru (she applies Shiatsu massage technique to the face), who makes periodic guest appearances at the Carlyle Spa and Shen in Brooklyn. The Triad facial at Dr. David Colbert's New York Dermatology Group in the Flatiron District has been written about ten zillion times, probably because it really works. The treatment combines microdermabrasion, a light peel, and laser toning. The result is bright, smooth skin--great before an event.

Best dermatologist
I can't name just one, or two, or even three. A few of my favorites--who I trust for stories, and with my own skin--are: Patricia Wexler, Lisa Airan (bonus: her husband is the amazing plastic surgeon Trevor Born), Shereene Idriss, Ellen Marmur, Dennis Gross, and Elizabeth Hale.

Best dentist:
Marc Lowenberg. The man behind NY's most dazzling smiles. Marc even has a reflexologist on staff, who works on your feet while he works on your mouth.

Best eyelash extension place
I think lash extensions usually look like lash extensions, so I say...skip...and go for one-night-only strips and singles (Ardell, Make Up For Ever, MAC) for evenings out.

Best brow waxing place
For me, the key to the perfect brow is the perfect (vegetable dye) tint. On my blonde brows, it's transformative, thanks to Dede and Maral at the Warren Tricomi salon at the Plaza. (My ritual: Afterwards I go downstairs for a cup of strawberry frozen yogurt with pomegranate seeds on top at Yoart, or, if I'm feeling decadent, a slice of Lady M's green tea mille crepe). For bikini waxing, my go-tos are Bliss SoHo and Spruce & Bond.

Best makeup and makeover: where to purchase and which artists to ask for

I don't know how the Make Up For Ever boutique on East 12th Street has remained an under-the-radar secret for so long, but this makeup emporium (where editorial makeup artists can always be found stocking their kits) is my favorite place for special event makeup. They can do anything--from luminous no-makeup-makeup to over-the-top theatrical looks. I've gone to their pros before the Met Gala and have a standing appointment each year before Allison Sarofim's epic Halloween bash.

Do you recommend anyone who makes "beauty house calls"?
I am wary of many of the order-in beauty services because it can be difficult to gauge the quality of the work ahead of time, but I completely trust the New York-based StyleBookings.com, recently launched by editorial veterans Vincent Longo (legendary makeup artist, and the nicest man around) and hairstylist George Kyriakos. Viewing each artist's portfolio before making a selection helps ensure the one you choose will be a good match for the look and aesthetic you're after. For a price, you can even order Vincent... Vensette, which currently operates in New York, LA, San Francisco, and Miami, has made it as foolproof as possible with a menu of specific hair and makeup looks from which to order. They'll come to your office, your home; they'll even do a wedding party.
For massage, I love Roland Davis, who I met when he paid us a house call one weekend in the Hamptons. He is fantastic and, dare I say, affordable (stillpointmassage@hotmail.com).


Fitness and wellness: best fitness studio, best wellness coach, best gym

My favorites:
GYM:
Equinox (I've trained with Allison Kimmel, a dancer who also teaches barre classes at the 19th Street location, for years; I love Jeffrey Morris for private Pilates).
BOUTIQUE STUDIOS:
Chaise Fitness (locations in NYC and the Hamptons)--a method that combines Pilates and TRX. It's hard as hell and I love it.
If you're looking for legs (and arms) for days, plus the excuse to wear leg warmers and ballet slippers: Mary Helen Bower's Ballet Beautiful.
Punch Fitness Center: Boxing made really, really fun. Owner Adelino da Costa dances while he boxes. The music is amazing and the vibe keeps me smiling all day.
ClassPass is a great way to check out as many studios as you can drag your body to in a month--and it's a great gift.

A spa date with your mom: Spa Nalai at the Park Hyatt, Spa de La Mer at the Baccarat Hotel, the Carlyle spa.

A spa date with your love interest: Aire Ancient Baths (bring a swimsuit), Shibui Spa at the Greenwich Hotel (again, bring a swimsuit--for an après-Shiatsu dip in their gorgeous pool).

A spa date with yourself: Dangene at the Core Club. This is where you go if you want head-to-toe results. Dangene once microdermabrated my elbows and the bottoms of my feet. She means business.


Most surprising beauty find in NYC

If you can get past the décor (which is admittedly asking a lot), those corner massage places aren't actually that bad...in a pinch.
Also, at e.l.f cosmetics, you can buy on-trend makeup and skincare for the price of a cup of coffee--less, actually. I'm talking about lip gloss for $2, inky eyeliner for $3, shadow palettes for $6.

Most overrated beauty find in NYC

If you enjoy it, and it makes you feel good, it's not overrated.

My ultimate NYC beauty day:
I'd make a quick apple ginger shot in the Breville, grab a chia pudding from Liquiteria around the corner, and dash uptown to a private morning boxing lesson with Adelino da Costa at Punch Fitness. Afterwards, I'd swing by Frédéric Malle's Editions de Parfum shop on Madison and pick up a refill of Lys Mediteranneé, my one and only perfume, and keep walking until I arrive at Dangene's spa at the Core Club for full-body microdermabrasion and a brightening peel. I'd have a tennis lesson at Midtown Tennis, after which I'd meet my mom for a pedicure at Jin Soon's Natural Hand & Foot Spa in the East Village. Jin's polish stays on forever (no chips, really), and they serve the best citrus tea with sugary bits of lemon rind at the bottom (anyone who's been there knows what I'm talking about). On the way home, I'd stop by Sunny's Florist, an extraordinary, tiny little shop (more like a stand, and open until 11 PM most nights) on the corner of East 6th Street and buy myself some fresh flowers--which in my book counts as beauty. I'd end the day with a candle-lit evening soak and massage at Aire Ancient Baths with my fiancé, David. We'd come home, make a fire, play backgammon, cook something delicious, and fall asleep early.

If You're Dating Online -- An iPhone Is The Best Insurance Against Meeting A Dude.

$
0
0
As you know, I am partial to iPhones, only because they sync with my computer and other devices.

I find most phones are overpriced to begin with, and the iPhone actually takes worse pictures than most phones. But I've got to tell you something. If you are going to date online, you must have an iPhone.

I'm going to tell you why.

The biggest complaint I hear about online dating is, you spend the time, get excited about the possibility of a new person in your life, then you show up to meet them and you have zero chemistry with them.

The truth is, most online dates are duds. Period.

But I've found a foolproof way to avoid 'dud dates' altogether. It's like dating insurance.

I truly believe there is no reason to even meet somebody for a date until you've had a FaceTime conversation with them.

When you're online dating, most people never look like their picture. One of the rules of thumb of online dating that I tell you all the time is that if you're attracted to the ugliest version of a person on their profile, meaning if you're attracted to the worst picture, then you may be attracted to them in person.

Online dating is so much noise. It's thought out emails. It's timed emails, which drive me nuts. How many times when I was online dating would I write a beautiful email to a woman, an email that I knew she didn't get in her inbox on a regular basis.

Let's state the facts. I'm a writer. That's how I get paid. I'm good with words, and I'd write this great email, and they'd look at my picture not once, but ten times. Then three weeks later they'd write me back.

I'd think to myself, oh yeah, game plan, annoying game plan. Like you just saved my email in a certain area only to say I'm going to write him back in three weeks, because I don't want to be that excited.

Let me tell you why you need to FaceTime people.

I would consider FaceTime to be the first conversation you have, because you not only get to hear their voice, you get to see what they look like.

Most of the time when you meet somebody, you don't feel any energetic connection. The second you walk into the restaurant where you're about to drop $100, you want to make a run for the door.

Chemistry is all face-to-face, and that's the beauty of FaceTime. It's a face-to-face experience. That's why it's called FaceTime.

So if you're online dating, suggest a five minute FaceTime call. You'll get to see their mannerisms, the way they talk, the way they smile. You can get a feel for them as a person and look directly into their eyes.

It's only five minutes, and you'll know at the end of that FaceTime call if you really want to go out with them or not.

Steve Jobs is a smart man. Steve Jobs may be dead, but he gave me the best dating insurance in the world. FaceTime is great dating insurance.

It's a first date. Men will be into it too. Remember, a man's biggest fear of online dating is that you will show up and not look like your pictures.

Do you know what the number one fear women have about online dating? That their date is going is going to be a serial killer. Another reason to FaceTime. Chances are if he's creepy, you'll see it right away!

Without guys even realizing you're checking them out, feeling their energy, they're going to think it's a great idea that you FaceTime.

I strongly suggest you use that dating insurance. FaceTime before you meet.

It's a good thing you're not going to worry about what they look like, how they walk, or how they talk. You're going to learn their mannerisms right from the get-go.

That's what it's all about. Chemistry is all about face-to-face, no matter what we do in today's world of modern technology. Unless you meet somebody face-to-face, you're really not going to know whether you're attracted to them or not.

FaceTime, my friends. It's the best dating insurance you have.

9 Places You Never Thought To Apply Perfume

Spritz these hot spots from head to toe.
By Jessica Cruel, SELF

Wrists, ears, neck--that's the usual to-do list when your spritz on your favorite fragrance. However, there are some key places you're missing. Steven Claisse, senior perfumer at Takasago and creator of various Clean fragrances, tells SELF nine other hot spots to spray perfume to get a scent that lasts all day.

1. In Your Hair

You hair is actually one of the best places to spritz perfume because the strands hold fragrance well and leave a trail of scent as you move from place to place. "Fragrances latch onto hair fibers, therefore hair will carry the scent of the fragrance for a long period of time," says Caisse. But will the alcohol in perfume dry out your hair? "The alcohol in fragrance is similar to that in certain hair sprays which do tend to dry out the hair," explains Caisse. "To avoid any drying of the hair, the best way to apply fragrance to hair is to mist on a brush." There are also scents made specifically for hair like Sachajuan Protective Hair Perfume ($69) or Clean Hair Shine Mist With UV Protection ($24).

2. On the Top of Your Ears

"Behind the ear lobes is typical, but another less common spot is the tops of the ears as skin is not as dry," says Caisse. Oily skin actually holds scent better than dry skin. So make sure to moisturize before applying your scent.

3. Around Your Neck

Fragrance is a big no-no for those with sensitive skin. But you can wear fragrance without applying it directly to your body. Try wearing a necklace or bracelet infused with scent like Lisa Hoffman Tuscan Fig Necklace ($45) or By Kilian Lights & Reflections Ring ($250).

4. Inside the Elbows

The pulse points are areas on the body where the veins flow close to the skin. These spots emit heat, which helps fragrance develop faster. The typical places to spritz scent all fall under this category: the neck, wrists, cleavage. However, the inside of the elbows is also a hot spot to roll on perfume.

5. In Your Belly Button

Your navel is useful for more than just belly piercings. Dab a few drops of perfume on the spot if you're wearing a midriff-baring crop top or bikini. "Any area on your body that radiates heat will enhance a scent, and your belly button does just that," says Caisse.

7. Behind Your Knees

The soft area behind your knees is another one of those pulse points perfect for perfume. Throughout the day the scent will kick up as you cross your legs and move around, especially if you're wearing a dress. "Knees are great for summer since they're exposed," says Caisse. "The back of knees are warmer and softer and therefore capture a strong scent."

7. Down Your Calves

If you're wearing shorts or a leg-revealing dress, spritz fragrance along the inside of your thighs and calves. The friction between your legs as you walk will create warmth and reinvigorate the scent throughout the day.

8. On Your Ankles

Before you slip on your favorite pair of stiletto heels, give your feet a blast of perfume. "Your ankles are always in motion, so it helps project the fragrance wherever you go," says Caisse. "It continues the scent from head to toe."

9. On Your Clothes

Caisse recommends applying your scent on your body before putting on your clothes, so that the fragrance can absorb into your skin. However, spritzing your wool and cashmere clothes with fragrance can help achieve a longer lasting scent, too.

9 Photos Of Women Who Don't Care What They're 'Supposed' To Wear

$

A new body love campaign is redefining what looks "flattering" and what doesn't by letting every woman decide for herself.  


A new campaign called "#ImFlattered," created by body-positive clothing company SmartGlamour, featured photos of women holding signs with rude comments people have said to them about their bodies. Every woman proudly showcased her "flaws" in the photo series by wearing the exact outfit so many people have told them is not "flattering" on them. 


Owner, designer and creator of #ImFlattered, Mallorie Dunn, explained why she chose to debunk the term "flattering" in a blog on SmartGlamour. "Having 'flattering clothing' basically means 'that makes you look thin,'" Dunn wrote. "Here’s the truth, ladies -- your 'shape' does not need to 'look great.' And clothing does not need to 'do the work' for you. All clothing needs to do -- is clothe you."


In an additional blog post for SmartGlamour, Dunn described her creative process for the project. "I asked women... if there was ever a time (or times) when a stranger or loved one concluded they were the expert on their body and presentation -- and decided to voice it."


The campaign included women of all sizes, ethnicities and ages. SmartGlamour created all the outfits in the photo series specifically for each woman. 


"You do not owe your appearance, attractiveness, or thinness to anyone," Dunn wrote, adding in her second blog post: "The only person that matters in the question of whether or not you’re 'flattered' -- is you."

Over the past four days, London's coolest neighborhoods, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars have been swarmed with competitively stylish men dressed to the winter nines and groomed so well, you'd think they just stepped out of a spa rather than off an airplane. We're talking, of course, about London Collections: Men, the biannual start of the menswear runway shows that will wind through Milan and Paris before finishing off next month in NYC. It's a big challenge for any man to pack four days worth of envy-inspiring outfits, but leave it to a group of editors, buyers, and hangers-on well-versed in fashion week to get it just right. And the perfect example of this cream of the style crop killing it was the number of guys rocking a turtleneck under their suit or topcoat.

We've been telling you how cool, convenient, and yes, sexy turtlenecks are for a while now. A turtleneck is not only your best defense against the cold this winter, it's also super stylish. The following thirteen swagger-rich gentlemen seen on the streets of London prove this better than any runway show could.

And we didn't just see them in the wild. Designers went hard on turtlenecks too. In fact they showed up on almost every runway:

The point is, if you don't already have a turtleneck, go buy one. Now. Hell, even if you own a few, you should consider a one more--maybe in super thin merino wool or cashmere (it'll take up less room in your suitcase).

15 Fashionable Muslim Women To Follow On Instagram

$

When Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana Designers released its first collection of abayas and hijabs earlier this month, Forbes called it the company's "smartest move in years."


A growing number of Western fashion brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, and MANGO, are realizing that it's important to start catering to Muslim women. 


Some Muslim women welcome these moves as signs that the fashion world is taking their needs into consideration. Fashion blogger Hassanah El-Yacoubi wrote that D&G's new line should be lauded because it aligns the company against Islamophobia.


But others are not very enthusiastic about the collection. Dina Torkia, a popular British fashion designer and blogger, is wondering what the fuss is about.


"I feel like I should be happy, ecstatic even, perhaps eternally grateful? That’s what seems to be the general reaction to this news so far. But, I can’t help but feel incredibly underwhelmed, possibly even a tiny bit insulted by the collection," she wrote in a blog post.


Torkia goes on to write that the abayas that D&G released seem too similar to the lacey, embroidered, traditional clothing that many Muslim women have grown up with. The kind of thing she could pick up at her local abaya store. As a designer herself, she doesn't see the aesthetic in this collection as anything new.


Muslim women have been designing and styling their own unique fashions for years -- experimenting with colors, patterns, and fabrics in incredibly creative ways. 


Here are 15 women who were making waves in the Muslim fashion world long before D&G got in the game.

Why Elle.com's #BlackGirlMagic Article Totally Misses The Mark

$
0
0

While the world has been busy celebrating the awesomeness of #BlackGirlMagic, Elle.com decided it would rain on everyone’s parade by publishing an article entitled “Here’s My Problem With #BlackGirlMagic.” What’s even more upsetting is that the author, Linda Chavers, is a black woman. Ugh.


Chavers’ primary objection to the #BlackGirlMagic movement is that she believes it’s an extension of the "strong, black woman” ideology, which can sometimes dehumanize women of color. She believes that it pushes the message that black women are “something other than human,” that we are animals and incapable of having feelings.


Chavers cites her battle with the incurable illness MS as an example of not being “magic.” She also goes as far as saying that celebrating #BlackGirlMagic could cause society to think that black women are so superhuman or otherworldly that we can withstand rape and violent abuse.


“Everything inside and outside of me is flesh and bone and a nervous system (with bad signaling). Nothing magical,” Chavers wrote.


It’s painfully clear that her stance is way too literal and that she totally missed the celebratory origins of the hashtag that stemmed from the hashtag #BlackGirlsAreMagic, started by CaShawn Thompson. 


"I say magic because everyone doesn't always get it," Thompson told The Huffington Post. "We seem mysterious and even otherworldly in some of our achievements and even our everyday ways -- but we know we are just human like everyone else. That's part of the magic."


Chavers' misguided stance also explains why Black Twitter took aim at the article shortly after it was published on Wednesday afternoon, and why video explainers like this are so helpful:





Elle.com is bearing the brunt of the backlash for giving Chavers the platform.


The article comes off the heels of Elle's latest issue featuring both Taraji P. Henson and Viola Davis. This recognition, which highlights how multidimensional these women are, is the epitome of black girl magic. Here are two women of color (not "superhuman" in any way) who overcame heavy opposition, including racism and sexism, to reach the highest points of their careers. To diminish their success by saying "black girl magic" is dehumanizing or demeaning is wrong.


Ultimately, black girl magic is not an act of erasure -- it is a widespread effort to embrace who we are and what we can do, and women like Henson, Davis and countless others are great representations of that. 


Black women should be able and allowed to celebrate our achievements without unfair criticism. We should strive for excellence and bask in our glory when our greatness is proven. After all, we face insurmountable odds and constant barriers, and when we break through them, it is, in many ways, magical.


When we claim black girl magic, we’re not claiming we’re magicians or mythical beings. We’re claiming that the things we’re able to accomplish while being black women are wondrous. We’re claiming that the odds we’ve defeated and, as a result, the success we’ve achieved are worthy of recognition. Black girl magic ushers in celebration and camaraderie in a way that unifies black women like nothing else.

The recent death of icon David Bowie got us thinking a lot about loss. While we certainly lost a musical talent on Sunday night, we also lost a fashion icon. Bowie and his wife of 24 years, Iman, were one extremely stylish power couple.


And they weren't the only ones. In fact, over the past few decades, Hollywood has seen quite a few sartorially inclined twosomes. 


We decided to do a roundup of the 19 most stylish couples of all time, so everyone can see for themselves that style is better in twos. From the oldies, like Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, to the newer duos we love, like Kim and Kanye and Ellen and Portia, these pairs have their style on lock. In no particular order:

The Pitti Uomo Diaries A/W 2016-17: The Woolmark Prize and Federico Curradi Feeds the Right Wolf

2016-01-14-1452760011-8656328-PittiGenerations_Immaginecampagna_PITTIUOMO.jpg


When a fashion designer includes a dried petal in his invitation and quotes a Cherokee proverb about man's struggle between good and evil, he's got me at "Hello".

Federico Curradi presented his debut namesake collection at this year's Pitti Uomo and talk about the perfect line to go with this chaotic world of ours at the moment! The setting, the old Dogana building, with a haunting soundtrack played by a long-haired DJ from a darkened corner, eerily bright lights shining on the young, fresh-faced, still as dead male models and special effects smoke pumped into the air. Orchids trapped in glass containers, barrels of dried oil spilling onto the ground, gas masks laying casually around the sets, this seemed like what the end of the world would look like. If fashion wasn't here to save the day.

Curradi's looks are in contrast easy, organic, loosely shaped, made with comfortable soft fabrics and understandable shades of mustard, brown, charcoal and burgundy. Even teal and light blue and sometimes all coexisting on the same sweater or in the same look. As long as men wear things that make them look and feel this luxurious, we may avoid destroying each other after all...

The Cherokee proverb that Curradi included in his invite needs to be reprinted:

There is a battle of two wolves inside us all.
One is evil.
It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, lies, inferiority and ego.
The other is good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.
The wolf that wins? The one you feed.


The Special Alternative Set part of Pitti Uomo is always a joy to behold. Blending performance art with fashion, in a theatrical way that needs to withstand the test of being outside, in the midst of a busy fair ground that gives the eye so much to behold, this season it kicked off with a wonder. T. Michael is a bespoke tailor and designer hailing originally from Ghana and now creating in Norway. He blends his impeccable sense of style with a personal mantra of comfort, being true to his culture(s) and beauty.

His latest collaboration is with renowned outerwear company Norwegian Rain and historic British brand Grenson for a line of truly waterproof shoes that could change the way men dress in inclement weather. As a former shoe model myself, I remember our technicians at Nine West were always looking for a way to waterproof shoes, ones that lasted more than half an hour in the rain and snow. It's a nearly impossible task but the Grenson X Norwegian Rain line boasts up to none other than 13 hours of soggy-socks-free fun, in their beautiful leather boots and shoes.

Though it's hardly high definition, check out this short video I posted on YouTube, featuring the models, T. Michael's soulful introduction, and the waterproofed shoes of course!



Woolmark is the global authority on Merino wool. Based in Australia, Woolmark is the proud owner of that wonderfully iconic stylized wool yarn logo that we find today on all Merino wool products. The history of Woolmark is long and legendary, but in brief, it is the result of a 1936 decision which imposed a small tax on wool producers in exchange for promotion and research. When in 1937 the International Wool Publicity and Research Secretariat was established in London, what we know today as Woolmark was born.

In 1954 the International Wool Secretariat (IWS) established a prize, to be awarded to designers who made the best use of wool, in a fashionable and inventive way. This year's prize, for the first time ever, and now renamed the International Woolmark Prize, was awarded in Florence during Pitti Uomo. Another great first for a great fashion fair.

At the beautiful Villa Favard, the home of the Polimoda Firenze, Woolmark's judges, which included Vogue's Suzy Menkes, Pitti Uomo's own Raffaello Napoleone, fashion designer Haider Ackermann and Woolmark's Stuart McCullough awarded the prize to Indian designer Suketdhir.

The fashion show included six collections by the prize finalists, Munsoo Kwon from South Korea, P. Johnson from Australia, Agi & Sam from the UK, Jonathan Christopher from Holland, Siki Im from the USA and Suketdhir. Among the standouts for me were Kwon's line inspired by morning fog, with wool treated in a way that it could fade from dark charcoal to white on the same jacket. An almost bleached effect.

2016-01-14-1452764438-2870558-Woolmarkbackstage012.jpg


The US designer Siki Im instead masterfully crossed a Russian intellectual with a Turkish poet in a beatnik cafe in NYC and came up with an all dark charcoal and black silhouette that included almost always a touch of red. Simply breathtaking.

In the words of Mr. McCullough himself about the competition and the designers, "I can't remember one that was closer than today's." All were winners in my book!

Pitti Uomo continues through January 15th, at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy.

Khloe Kardashian just made a case for catsuits in the sexiest way possible.


The 31-year-old took her "revenge body" out on the town in New York City Wednesday to promote her new show, "Kocktails with Khloe," which premieres Jan. 20.


And boy, did she not disappoint:



Dressed in a skintight patterned catsuit, which she pulled off as flawlessly as  Britney Spears in her glory days, Kardashian stopped outside the "Watch What Happens Live" studios to take photos with some fans  look insanely hot.


It's a bold choice, even for someone who frequently wears form-fitting clothing, but something about the fit, the accessories, the hair -- it just works.


Slay on, Khlo.

Khloe Kardashian loves a good sweat session. One glance at her Instagram feed is enough to tell you that.



A photo posted by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on




The reality TV star recently shed around 40 pounds by undergoing a major lifestyle change. She said a combination of a healthy diet, a new-found love for exercise and a healthy mindset is what helped her drop the weight. 


"I definitely think the physical and the mental go hand in hand," Kardashian told People Magazine in an exclusive interview. "I feel so good in the gym that it [affects] the rest of my day. It's a healthy addiction. It's like buying your sanity!"


She's absolutely right. Working out has countless positive affects on mental health and wellness. Physical activity can lower stress levels, boost happiness and decrease symptoms of depression.



A video posted by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on




Kardashian also told People what her standard meal plan looks like: She's a breakfast eater, and will usually start the morning with eggs and oatmeal. She also stocks her fridge with healthy snacks. 


"I want whatever is quick, so having healthy items available when I'm hungry, there's no excuse," she said.


Her diet certainly isn't as strict as Giselle Bündchen and Tom Brady's. Kardashian said she doesn't "deprive" herself, and will treat herself to handfuls of M&Ms and pizza when she craves it. Her philosophy is moderation: "I'll still have a piece of cake; I just won't have two of them!"

6 Wild Things Designers Predicted We'd Be Wearing In The 21st Century

Were the early '90s really that long ago?


If it doesn't feel like it, all you need to do is watch the above clip from a 1994 episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." That February, Oprah had asked top fashion designers to predict what people would be wearing in the year 2000. From Karl Lagerfeld to Yohji Yamamoto, six revered style pioneers shared their imaginative predictions for fashions of the new millennium.


Glow-in-the-dark coats


Donna Karan



"This is Donna Karan's vision of the future. It's a glow-in-the-dark coat that has pieces of glass in it to reflect light," Oprah said. "And even in the year 2000, Donna says, we're going to be wearing matching shoes."


Dresses made with parachute material


Jil Sander



"ELLE magazine says this ensemble by designer Jil Sander is made of the fabric of the future," Oprah said. "It's parachute material that you can wear just about every season."


Garments made of unusual materials, like straw


Issey Miyake



"No, it's not the Land of Oz. It's designer Issey Miyake, and he says in the year 2000, we'll be wearing clothes made out of material we never even imagined, like this outfit. It's made out of straw!" Oprah said.


Coats that filter air impurities


Yohji Yamamoto



"Thinking air pollution will continue to be a big problem in the future, Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto made this coat. It filters impurities from the air... [And], it looks like basic black is never going out of style," Oprah said.


Lovely lace outfits


Gianfranco Ferré



"Gianfranco Ferré says that this lace number is what we'll be wearing on our future evenings out on the town," Oprah said.


Clothes made from recycled materials


Karl Lagerfeld



"Mr. Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel says we need to preserve our planet. So, he used a recyclable rubber to make this dress," Oprah said. "Pretty snappy."

Men Spend More Time Grooming In The Morning Than Women, Says Study

$

Are you a guy who spends more time getting ready in the morning than the women in your life? You're not alone.


According to Grooming Lounge, the site that conducted the survey with RealSelf.com, 41 percent of men surveyed spend 31 to 45 minutes getting ready in the bathroom every morning, whereas only 30 percent of women said they did.


Seventy-one percent of the 400 guys surveyed said they spend more than 30 minutes primping, versus 63 percent of the 750 women, yet women are among the group that still takes the longest time -- 11 percent said they spend more than an hour, whereas only 2 percent of men said they do.


(It should be noted that the study didn't analyze what, exactly, the men were doing in the bathroom, just that they were asked how much time they spent on a typical morning getting ready.)


Here's what else they found:


How We Treat Ourselves


When it comes to getting their hair done, 70 percent of men actually spend 1 to 3 hours a month getting groomed at a stylist or barber compared to 39 percent of women.


Women, however, are more likely to invest more money in their looks, the study found.


Twenty one percent of women spend more than three hours a month doing what the study called "personal care" -- going to the dentist or getting a manicure -- compared to only 7 percent of men.


Apparently guys need the guidance of the girls when it comes to self-preservation.

Essences Are The Beauty Product That'll Lock In Moisture To Your Skin

$

One of the least understood beauty trends from Asia is the use of facial essences. The product's very name causes us to screw up our faces and scratch our heads, wondering what exactly an essence is. 


According to Yoon-Soo Cindy Bae, an associate at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, essences are liquid beauty products used to hydrate your skin after you've cleansed and toned, and they help your skin absorb subsequent products you'll be applying, like serums and moisturizers. They typically contain active ingredients like antioxidants, vitamins and herbal extracts.


Though essences are starting to become more popular in the United States, they're commonly used in beauty routines throughout Asia. Vice President of Skin Biology and Bioactives at Estee Lauder Nadine Pernodet told Into The Gloss, "Asian women tend to have a thinner moisture barrier than Caucasian women and are therefore more prone to moisture loss. Essence helps create a stronger, more resistant skin foundation for longterm improvement to the look of skin."


No matter your ethnicity or skin type, after the age of 15 your lipids (the layers of skin that hold moisture) start to get a bit lower as you age, according to Ellen Marmur, a consulting dermatologist for Dove. "Thinking about how your environment is making your skin feel, adjusting your routine and replenishing that protective barrier of moisture is the way to go," she says.


Often confused with serums and toners, Bae defines the differences very clearly. She says, "Traditional 'American' toners help restore pH balance and remove any excess oil, makeup and debris after cleansing (when applied with cotton balls). Traditional 'Korean' toners aid with hydration and prep the skin for layering additional products like an essence (that's applied with the hands). Serums are thicker and tend to be more concentrated with ingredients that will aid in skin brightening, anti-aging or both."


An easy way Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, the co-founders of Korean beauty e-tailer Glow Recipe, are able to spot a true essence versus a treatment toner is by the packaging, texture and size. "Essences are fluid, but still thick enough to require being in a pump or dropper bottle," says Chang. "A toner will almost always be over 75ml and close to a liquid, enough to require a bottle with a narrow opening."


The duo likes to refer to essences as the "modern version" of a serum because they have lightweight and often watery textures that absorb in a flash.


Products should provide clear instructions on the packaging label for how to apply an essence, and those details may vary. Bae likes to gently pat on the product, but always advocates being gentle with your skin. 


However, just because an essence is formulated by a cosmetics company doesn't automatically make it right for your skincare needs. Bae advises identifying your specific concerns and trying a few different products for that indication. "It is important to like the smell, texture and feel of the product, because if you don't, you won't use the product," she says.


Remember that essences are cosmeceuticals, not prescriptions. Bae explains, "Although many products are clinically tested, in a perfect world, all cosmeceuticals, like prescription medications, would undergo clinical testing to demonstrate their efficacy, thereby substantiating their marketing claims."  


While Lee says there are no "set stone steps" in skincare, you should definitely pay close attention to how your skin feels and what appears to be working. Getting a professional evaluation by a dermatologist doesn't hurt, either.


Thinking of incorporating essences into your skincare regimen? Shop the picks below.

The Inspiration Behind Christina Hendricks' Red Hair Is Adorable

Christina Hendricks' red hair is one of her most beautiful, prominent features (with the exception of a much buzzed-about Nice 'N Easy hair dye commercial). 



Now, thanks to an interview with Glamour Magazine and its beauty website Lipstick.com for its February "Hair Flip" issue, we have a bit of insight into the inspiration (and the "cool" parenting) that resulted in her very first red dye job, a color she has now maintained over the past twenty years after experimenting with different hues.


“I was 10 years old the first time I colored my hair. I had a very cool mom! I really wanted red hair, so she thought it would be fun to put on a color rinse. When I was young, I was very much into Anne of Green Gables, and Anne had red hair. I also watched Gilligan’s Island, and of course I loved Ginger, and even though I Love Lucy was in black-and-white, I knew she was a redhead. There was just something about her … something sparkly!," she said.


Indeed, that sparkle carried over to Hendricks, who also revealed that when it comes to achieving her signature look, she has never relied on stylists."I’ve been doing my own color for ages. I’m not particularly fussy, and I definitely don’t like sitting in a salon for hours," she told the mag.


She's a fiery, red-headed woman after our own hearts. Head to Lipstick.com to see the entire story, or pick up a copy of Glamour, on newsstands now.
