Former Model Liskula Cohen Sues Google

Email thisPosted Jan 8th 2009 at 5:24PM by Kyle Hepp

Liskula Cohen is far more famous for her forays into scandal than for being well-known in the modeling industry. At 36, she's been working for years but you best know her from 2008 when a doorman hit her in the face with a bottle of vodka. Now Liskula is making headlines by deciding to sue Google.

Google might be known for dominating the internet with it's mind-blowing search engines and algorithms and junk, but they're not usually known for their wonderful aesthetic sensibilities. Just look at their logo. Well, it seems that those days are over, and good riddance. Now, Google is offering users a way to bring some digital couture to their previously boring homepage.

You can class up your iGoogle homepage with background designs from names like Diane von Furstenberg, Dolce and Gabbana, Ron Wood (from the Rolling Stones), Jeff Koons, Phillipe Stark and Marc Ecko. Some of the layouts are better than others, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. We like the D&G leopard print.

Stylish tools to help fulfill your 2008 resolutions

There's a new year around the corner, folks, and that means it's time for new New Year's resolutions! What will you do in 2008? Finally get around to painting that extra room? Finish level three Italian? Find a better plastic surgeon? Well, I can't help you with those, but I certainly can give a few pointers on some of the more common resolutions that people make. If one must create a new and improved self, why not do it in style? So, you want to...

Be more organized: Sometimes the best way to organize is with good, old-fashioned pen and paper. Unfortunately, "paper" doesn't always mean "post-its", which tend to become part of the clutter it originally set out to sort out. One very stylish and sophisticated item that has done wonders for people all over the world is the Moleskine notebook. Moleskines come in a variety of sizes and types, from small to big to sketchbooks to address books. They're black and compact and, best of all, always lie completely flat when you open them up. No annoying curve in the middle! Also, there's a little pocket on the inside back cover for any loose notes. Sometimes having a pretty notebook is just enough of a motivation to get organized. Common Moleskine users are generally the artsy hipster types and are easily identifiable by their constant ravings about how much they love their notebooks.

Cybershopping is dangerous in more ways than one

I recently read an article in Wired News that discussed at length our increasingly online culture. The article focused mostly upon how technology has affected dating and other interpersonal relationships, but what I (of course) immediately began thinking about was how the Internet has affected shopping.

I have an almost sickeningly stereotypical storyline. I'm that girl who always loved clothes, had a limited clothing allowance while growing up, went to college with an "emergency" credit card, and singlehandedly bankrolled Arden B and Nordstrom's shoe department for a couple of years. Thankfully, the evil credit card companies have some ethical standards federal regulations and don't can't give astronomical credit limits to 18 year olds, or I would still be paying off those bills.

However, I cannot imagine the damage I could have done had I been given the kind of unlimited access to the information superhighway available to today's consumers. Upon typing "credit card for students" into Google, I get 7,520,000 results in 0.14 seconds. A search for "designer brand online shopping" yields 3,570,000 pages.

Yikes.
