Playing Patty-Cake (Curls) with Charles Baker Strahan

Filed under: Videos, Hair Cut and Style

The best summer tress trend? Perfectly "tousled" hair. You know, that carefree, of-course-I-woke-up-like-this, Gisele kinda curl that instills instant hatred unless, of course, your locks look like that too.

Well, Herbal Essences has created a whole line of products to help us mere mortals attain this look -- but we can't tell you about that until they release it in July (shh, you didn't hear it here!).

But what we can do is show you how Herbal Essences' Celebrity Hairstylist Charles Baker Strahan -- the man behind the luminous manes of Leighton Meester, Mariah Carey, Kristen Bell and Blake Lively -- creates the tousled look with what he calls "Patty-cake Curls," which he gamely demonstrates in our exclusive video, above. Just spritz in a spray gel or a hairspray with a flexible hold, grab your straightening iron and follow Charles' lead.

Very chic. Get ready for the haters.

Drag Queen Makeup Tutorial "Silencefiction - Lipstique featuring Fauxnique"

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style, Beauty Tips



We love a good faceful of makeup, and are in awe of the mad application skill demonstrated by drag queens. Anyone can hide a zit, but only a true master can cover up a beard and have the resulting "skin" look dewy.

Filed under: Beauty Tips


We all want full, luscious lips -- it's a given. And while we're not against all the fun products out there that promise to plump our pouts, we would also really like to have our lips look like that without cosmetics. And even if we didn't get our lips from the same gene pool as Angelina Jolie, there is a way to get fuller lips now -- with face yoga!

The Skinny Bitches Love Their Jeans

Filed under: Interviews, Green Fashion

skinny bitchWhether you agree with their lifestyle or not, the authors of the best-selling book, Skinny Bitch, have made a real impact. They've come out with a number of books promoting the benefits of becoming a vegan, and, most recently, they've released a couple of "Skinny Bitch Fitness" DVDs. We had a chance to sit down and talk to them, and while we touched on diet and fitness (of course), we also chatted about fashion.

Behind the Scences, Madonna's Spring '09 Louis Vuitton ad Campaign

Filed under: Style in the News



Now, you've already read our lament on Madonna's ads for Louis Vuitton. While we love us some British-sounding Madge just as much as the next person, the whole "I'm being controversial so let me show you my crotch in these ads" thing is pretty annoying, to say the least. Indeed, we were expecting a little something more from this collaboration but the behind-the-scenes video makes up for all of that. In the clip, Madonna and Marc Jacobs -- who is creative director at Louis Vuitton -- playfully bantering back and forth, telling each other how "hot" and "cool" they are. Enjoy the fabulous accessories and tinges of narcissism.

Hairspray and Tonic, Anyone? Non-Toxic Hairspray That WORKS

Filed under: Hair Care, Green Fashion



How many of you have ever gotten hairspray in your eye, or breathed too much of it in, and really suffered from it? We definitely have, on more occasions than we care to admit. But, we also have to say that we've been nervous about trying a non-toxic hairspray in case it just didn't work. However, after seeing this video from EcoStiletto, we're feeling considerably more confident. Check it out for yourself and let us know if, for one thing, you'd try it, and for another, if you'd drink it!

Hair Raising Star Styles

    Jada Pinkett Smith
    Please tell us this mullet chop job is for a movie. When Jada's hair is slightly grown out, shiny and sleek, its easy to see why she and her hunky hubby are considered one of Hollywood's most stylish couples.

    At her best, Katherine Heigl successfully channels Veronica Lake. But with too much product, her locks are dingy: No self-respecting bridesmaid would ever leave the house with hair that looks like it was inspired by "There's Something About Mary".

    Christina Aguilera
    Only Bo Derek could be a perfect "10" in cornrows. Her new mommy makeover included trading her Dirrty 'do for Marilyn Monroe-inspired platinum blonde waves

    Victoria Beckham
    Posh pioneered the blunt bob trend -- and it suits her no-nonsense fashion style perfectly. In this uptight up-do (r.), she looks like she's taking her reputation as an ice queen a little too seriously

    Paris Hilton
    Despite her privileged background, Paris has a hard time pulling off the sophisticated debutante look. A flirty asymmetrical bob works better for L.A.'s biggest party girl

    Katie Holmes
    Katie's tousled tresses make her look like she's playing dress-up. Her Posh-inspired bob and bangs are picture perfect Hollywood Wife.

    Mary-Kate Olsen
    She's known for her eccentric style, but Mary Kate's Marc Jacobs' headband is less modern fashion icon, more Jane Fonda (circa 1982).
    Tousled blonde tresses are better on a 22-year-old, no matter how many millions she's got

    Fergie
    Hey, Fergie -- Bret Michaels wants his look back. The star is far more Glamorous when she wears her honey hair wavy and free.

    Scarlett Johansson
    Scarlett's super-poufy beehive doesn't create much buzz. A more natural style (l.) suits the pretty young star.

    Alicia Keys
    Hey Alicia -- No One should be using the "Coneheads" for fashion inspiration! Keys' classic beauty shines in her natural curls.
