Last night, our first lady Michelle Obama looked absolutely ravishing as she entered the Neighborhood Ball with our President. Her decision to highlight upcoming designers is what makes her such USA royalty. As all fashion lovers all over the world saw the huge masses of fashion designers that produced sketches for the first lady diva. I absolutely loved the one shouldered ensemble that she decked out with a flawless natural glowing face. Some questioned that she should have went with something more flattening to her natural curvaceous shape, but I think she looks stunning. Of course, I had my favorite picks that I also thought would flatter her a little bit better, but in the end she selected something totally out of the norm, and it worked. My two favorite selections are attached.

Knowles Sister Feria Campaign
So here we go again, folks start lining up to begin the hating of the Knowles sisters, because they have yet added another campaign under their Diva belts! Not only are they both bursting out hot videos from their hit banging CDs, but their bid for world domination has hit Loreal Paris. Many are familiar with big sis,Beyonce being a spokesman for the company for awhile now and has decided to turn it over to her baby sis, Ms. Sol-Angel herself, Solange. I look forward to seeing what else they'll have in store for us in 2009! Go head Knowles women!!!

Heavy Hit to Fashion Week
Wow, I cannot believe my eyes. Uber designers DKNY, Vera Wang and various other designers are seeking to do cheaper shows due to our government stricken economy woes. Unfortunately, some more vintage designers like Betsey Johnson and Carmen Marc Valvo, are withdrawing their complete fall lines from this Spring's Fashion Week in NYC Bryant Park. This will be the first time that either designer has missed a tent show in like...FOREVER! What on earth is going on? Is the recession, hitting us so hard that our high end designers cannot perform in their most outlandish behavior that they are used to? I wonder how the buzz is getting around, I mean when you have two of the world's hottest designers withdrawing from a worldwide event that leads to mass press and media outlets resulting in $$$$, what could have possibly went so wrong for them to shut out completely. I wonder if it's a part of some new plan to begin a different type of fashion show. Hmmmm...let's keep our eyes open for more fashion week alerts!!! I know Fashion Week is not so with Betsey. Although, I am anxious to see what's next for my girl, Monique Lhuillier!
Oh well,
Tootles!!!!

Hot off the Press
Tootles!
Make-Up Pimpin on a Budget with e.l.f.
If you didn't recognize that we're currently in a recession and that us beauty enthusiasts can't go out and continue to splurge on our valuable MAC, Estee Lauder, Dior, or Prescriptives designer brand cosmetics. Please don't fret as several top makeup artist and retail chains are combining talents and prices to suffice beauty lovers worldwide. Most have rose to the occasion and are slowly saving the day. However Eyes-Lips-Face (e.l.f.) have brought their lines in hopes of reaching the lower masses. I simply love this low cost supplier. They have a wonderful assortment of professional brushes and I'm so shocked at the price, mostly in Kroger's, Target, and some Wal-Mart in southern states every things priced at $1.oo. Yep, that's right a beauty product that doesn't immediately decompose or irritate your skin at a dollar. I can't and won't complain. Checkout their website for new additions and special gift sets at e.l.f.
If the dollar price line is a little too cheap for you, they also are introducing this new line of products called Studio. It features all of their professional brushes and makeup kits. I promise give them a try it is well worth your benjis.

Mac Lovers Say Konnichiwa & Sayōnara
As most Mac lovers know that bringing in the new year calls for some of our favorites in certain collections to be discontinued. So what that bad news, Mac is now quickly expediting its Kohl Powder Pencil in Orpheus, Raven, and Mystery off to the never land of limited editions. Well not to worry because there's a new item to pencil in all of your concerns, please check out Mac's Penultimate Liner. It's a new liner with a pen like tip that goes on really fine to perfect the pop in liner. Check out my girl Scandalous Beauty giving her take on it along with other Mac products doing a smoky eye with the liner.
