Despite sexist ads, frat-boy associations and the fact that it is not pink, plenty of women drink beer. Portƒolio writer Lew Bryson suggests that marketers make 2008 the year they discover women. “When women appear [in beer ads], they’re either carrying a tray of beers or standing around looking beautiful,” writes Bryson. Yet “women make up a not-insignificant 25 percent of the beer market; they are supposedly the reason beer comes in six-packs rather than eight-packs–a sixer was presumed to be as much weight as a woman would feel comfortable carrying in one hand.” Take a minute to roll your eyes, then think about all the cowboys, construction workers, sports stars, rappers and Clydesdales in beer ads. Bryson would like to see that era come to a close, and his wish may come true: an ad commissioned by Anheuser-Busch could promote beer as the booze that will get you less trashed. In one spot, a woman wakes up in “Darrellville,” the bedroom of a hairy-chested man in a robe who says, “Come here and nibble me.” The tagline? “Minimize the surprise. Stick with beer.”
(The version for guys has a poor dude waking up in a the home of a “cat lady” who tries to decide which of her costumed kitties will be in their wedding.)

I’ve been trying to write this post for about a week now, but couldn’t come up with a way to talk about this product without sounding like a total loon. I actually found myself surprised at how well it worked, and my findings were corroborated by two others who are now hooked on it!
Meet Redken Body-Full Carbo-Bodifier Volumizing Foam. The name is a mouthful…I think it should just be called Wonder Foam, because that’s how I feel about it.

My office isn’t exactly a hotbed of fashionable inspiration as we are all restricted by that dubious dress code of ’smart casual’ (the most ridiculous of oxymorons if ever there was one….). However, I find inspiration at the oddest of times and when I strode in yesterday, five minutes late, and plonked my stuff down, the first thing I said in fash-girl mode was ‘Ashley, you are wearing THE blue of the season!’. Ashley (guy to the left) was taken aback and said with jest ‘Of course, that was my intention all along!’.
Yes, forget electric blue. Azure blue is the one to be looking out for. You heard it from Grazia and the like. Let’s just forget the ridiculous notion of different blues being rotated season by season because it is RIDICULOUS that electric is hot one minute and not the next. Let’s just put that aside because in fact, I am preferring Ashley’s azure blue here and have taken to it with great gusto. I want dresses, skirts and shoes in this exact same shade. I may even to reference this photo to ensure I get a good match for this blue. It’s a warmer hue of blue with some green mixed into it and it was also strangely a Walt Disney character. Please don’t think I’m advocating trading all your shades of blues for azure to be ‘bang on trend’ (groan….) but I’m pledging my allegiance to this blue for the moment…. because it’s nice to be reminded of always-hilarious desk buddy Ashley.

I must own half the world’s lip gloss, but I can’t resist adding just one more to my collection. And this one looks just plain yummy. And even better, there’s six shades to choose from… which I seldom do lol. I just pick them all so I don’t have to decide.
Available at Macy*s

The Little Mermaid is one of best Disney movies. Sure, it’s mildly demeaning to women, with a heroine who literally loses her voice and all, but you gotta love villianess Ursula the Sea Witch (Bitch). And also, the music rocks: Who amongst us does not know every single word to “Part of Your World”? [Me. -Ed.] Well, there’s now a Broadway musical adaptation of the film, and, if the critics are piling on. (Frankly, it’s a wonder they managed to write any reviews, considering they seemed to be banging their heads against their Playbills at the show’s opening last night). Their takes, after the jump.
Loved the shoes. Loathed the show .O.K., I exaggerate. I didn’t like the shoes all that much. But the wheel-heeled footwear known as merblades, which allow stage-bound dancers to simulate gliding underwater, provides the only remotely graceful elements in the musical blunderbuss called “Disney’s The Little Mermaid”…The whole enterprise is soaked in that sparkly garishness that only a very young child — or possibly a tackiness-worshiping drag queen — might find pretty….Come to think of it, the motto of this production…could be, “You can never go broke underestimating the taste of preschoolers.”

With a removable collar for extra warmness and sooth, you will always look nice with this all-around leather design. Originally, the bomber jacket was designed to keep American pilots warm during the 1920’s where airplanes are with open cockpits. Today, military pilots do not wear bomber jacket anymore, as nylon and Nomex replaced the leather jacket. But still, the fashion and style of the bomber jacket lives on.
The bomber jacket, which never goes out of style, is available at Macy’s for $174.99
