HOW FLIPPIN' CUTE!!!

For any given awards show, the attending celebs are typically invited to a gifting suite. You've heard of the latest, greatest tech toys, watches and other baubles, fine candies, etc. being lavished upon them in hopes that they will love the product and spontaneously mention it in a press clip-- or better yet, buy it by the caseload!!! Well this year at the Daytime Emmys, the swag bag included a card with a  promotional offer for these oh-so cute flip flops. Truthfully, it took a minute to get around to opening the bag and going thru the goodies, but once I saw these, I knew I just had to share.

A high school friend of mine started the most amazing non-profit organization. It's called Christmas 365, and through the organization, she and her husband  adopt and provide basic needs for as many families as they can support for 365 days (I believe this year they are helping 14 families). That's giving money, food, books, shoes, clothing, whatever for a whole year: CHRISTMAS 365!!!! A couple of weeks ago, she had a fundraiser for the organization which she called, "Christmas in July."  There were Christmas trees with white lights; a beautifully catered dinner; Lightfoot, a comedian who used to open for Frankie Beverly and Maze and has become a family friend (her husband, Larry Kimpel, is Frankie's bass player); and a DJ who was spinning some music we all know and to which we love to jam!!!

As we were steppin' to R. Kelly's. "Step in the Name of Love," I looked in the corner, and this is what I saw:

Christmas, and a whole bunch of hurtin' shoes we had taken off to get our groove on!!!!!!

Every once in a while something comes along that is truly revolutionary. Until today, I had never heard of a minx manicure or pedicure. Well, that's not exactly true. I purchased a Groupon for the service about six weeks ago, and that's when it came to my attention; I just used it today. But lest I get bogged down in the insignificant, let me get to my real point: MINX MANIS & PEDIS ARE A MUST!!! Initially, the pedicure process is the same. The ultimate difference is the "nail polish". I use quotes because it really isn't polish. They are sized sheets of color, almost like appliques, which, after warming them with a lamp, the nail tech applies to your nails. You can choose from solid colors or intricate designs. You can also take a page from my book and combine the two. But the best part is that there is NO drying time, the film is super shiny and it lasts four to five weeks. It just doesn't get any better!!!!!!!

And just FYI, if you want to investigate in the Los Angeles area, Extremedys performs this awesome service; in Chicago, try Big Girl Spa in Hyde Park.

ARE YOUR FEET SUMMER READY?

It's July and summer is in full swing. The parties are slammin', the dresses are short, the feet are saucy...  And there's nothing sexier than beautiful feet. Are yours ready???

DON'T FORGET THE BODY MAKEUP!!!!

For all the fabulosity- YES!!! I said FABULOSITY!!!!- that these shoes possess, what I really notice are the red bites and blotches on her legs. And for me, they completely distract my attention from the sandals, and put it exactly where it shouldn't be: on her uneven skin tone. I bring your attention to this just as a reminder that summer is quickly approaching, and as we bare our legs and arms in shorts and mini skirts, t-shirts and halter tops,  pay attention to little flaws like this which can be easily remedied with a little makeup. A smooth leg is a SEXY leg....

Choose a makeup that is transfer-resistant and waterproof so it will work for you whether you're at a party or on the beach. Make sure that it blends well with your skin color so that is undetectable, and doesn't sit on your skin like makeup. And finally, don't forget to cover your corns and rub marks on your feet that you get from your FAB stilettos!!!

2011 SPRING/ SUMMER SHOE REVIEW

This week, I thought I’d take the time to remind you of some of the hotness available in footware for Spring/Summer 2011. We first saw these last fall, but now that they’re in stores, it’s good to remember what’s here and now!!!

Political gaffes aside, John Galliano produced some sizzling shoes for Dior in his Spring/ Summer 2011 collection. The frolicking fun of the color, the slim sexiness of the heels make these shoes a standout this season. OH, HURT ME!!!!
