Can’t do Chanel no 5? Try Eau Premier! But next year! [The Scented Life: All about fragrance]

Can’t do Chanel no 5? Try Eau Premier! But next year! [The Scented Life: All about fragrance]
  Whether you love Chanel no 5, and revel in its classic blend of synthetic and natural, or just can’t do the aldehydes that made this such a groundbreaking formula, I urge you to try Chanel no 5 Eau Premier.  It’s a stripped down and softened version of the classic that’s reminiscent of the scent and will please devotees, but might win you over if you couldn’t deal with it.  The thing is, the bottles apparently had some sort of ‘issue’ and have been pulled from store shelves, but will be back perhaps mid-2008.  I sniffed it at Saks Fifth Avenue and think Jacques Polge has hit the mark.  If you  have a young relative who loves things that are glamorous and “grown up” this would be a perfect present.

The 5 Steps To Recovering From The “Modern Love” That Will Make You Hate Women [Group Hug!]

The 5 Steps To Recovering From The “Modern Love” That Will Make You Hate Women [Group Hug!]
Okay so by now at least half of you have read that Modern Love column in the New York Times of last Sunday by a woman who, ever since being date raped, hates women. It makes more sense than that! He was in a fraternity; she a sorority. He was partaking in some ritual whereby a frat guy takes a drunk girl to a ledge and fucks her in full view of his frat brothers; she was said drunk girl. But she was actually too drunk for the ritual to work and not be “rape,” and although no charges were filed, she didn’t even consider that etc. etc. he was exiled from his fraternity, and before long college altogether. And then, she was exiled from her sorority, in one of those evil gossip campaigns orchestrated by that sort of female groupthink that makes Lord of the Flies look tame, and oh my god the sorority sisters were so cruel they were like, evil movie sorority sisters… and now 20 years later she still can’t get close to women. She’s a femalesogynist. One of those girls who only makes friends with dudes! One of those women whose brain is constantly playing host to those rogue neurons whispering: “WOMEN. Why the fuck are they so complicated? Why the fuck are they so cruel sometimes? And competitive? And high-maintenence? Fuck women! I’m never hanging out with them again…”

So yeah, I wrestled with all this shit and figured that there were five stages of “WTF” you must endure to get to the answer.

This Year’s Uggs

Honestly, we don’t entirely get the new “high fashion” Uggs. We don’t know that we require our Uggs to be high fashion. We feel like this is sort of like putting a bow on something functional but unattractive, like a microwave. The microwave doesn’t need to be pretty to do its job. Above: the Ugg Stella, $270

Kate Hudson: There She Goes Again [Snarkstress]
Kate Hudson: There She Goes Again [Snarkstress]

At the risk of sounding redundant, dahlings, Kate Hudson’s got it going on. Here she is, looking totally fab. Again. Lately, this chick can do no wrong.

As you all know, I am currently smitten with furry coats (faux fur, of course) and this one rocks it out. Quick! Someone distract Kate’s “people” as I trespass into her closet and swipe all of her wraps (this is a joke, dahlings. Please do not call the authorities).
