Oh, look out! These boots might look like Uggs, but they're Bootie Pies ($128), a style of boot designed particularly for winter pedicures. The idea is to slip your pre-polished feet into the boots, then push the front flap down when it's time for lacquer application. Unlike pedicure socks, they'll keep you roasty-toasty during the cold months.
Both my thriftiness and aversion to Ugg-like footwear make me scratch my head at these things, and my sophomoric sense of humor thinks "Bootie Pie" sounds like a poopy dessert. But for pampered people in polar places, they might be pedicure perfection. Would you wear them?
Recession? What recession? Judging by the high-end prezzies available from luxury retailers, you wouldn't think that we're facing the worst economy in decades. (Perhaps in an alternate universe, we're not.) Thousand-dollar perfumes and creams may not be flying off the shelves, but that doesn't mean we can't have a look. For most of us, these items are eye-poppingly pricey — but if you happen to have a billionaire buddy who's itching to play Santa, it couldn't hurt to pass this link along...
Tonight, another cycle of Top Model comes to an end. I know you're wiping a tear, too. My money's on McKey for the winner, and while she seems talented enough, I'm rooting for Analeigh. Can't help it — she's just so sweet. If you were on the judging panel, who would you choose to begin an illustrious modeling career along the lines of former winners Saleisha, Naima, and Nicole?

Bubble baths are the ultimate luxury. All you need is some suds, water, and a glass of Riunite on Ice — and all is good with the world. Lately, I've been on a bubble bath kick and I'm looking for some new products. So, for last week's Beauty Mark It challenge, I asked you to share with us which bubble baths were extra foamy and which ones fell flat.
Thanks to all of you who reviewed and here are some of my favorites below:
Tngirly was apprehensive about purchasing Juniper Spruce Herbal Bath by Dresdner ($3.30): "Juniper? It did not make me think of a relaxing time — but once I poured it into the bath and I sunk in, I felt like I was bathing in the middle of a pine forest! It is a heavenly scent and leaves your skin feeling great once you are done."
MandyWH reviewed Origins Ginger Float ($26): "Origins Ginger Float bubble bath is totally luxurious and soothing — if you can hold back from eating the contents of the jar before you have a chance to dump it in your bath. Seriously, how do they make this smell so good?"
Angelica declared that Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Wish Softening Body Wash ($15) was "not heavenly for me!": "I used this at a friend's house and developed a decidedly heavenly rash. If you don't have sensitive skin and like the scent you might fare better, but it didn't go over well with my skin."
Thanksgiving may come early for our Upper East Siders, but that doesn't mean they missed out on any of the holiday's drama. From surprise guests to surprise endings, and things flipping and flopping each week, I can't get enough. Were you too mesmerized by the banter to peep the beauty? I bet you still had your eyes on their hair, nails, makeup, and more – so prove yourself and take this quiz!
So, uh, have you heard about a little movie called Twilight? At the film's premiere last night, star Kristen Stewart pulled off this offbeat style with ease.
Earlier, I gave you the straight-from-the-set scoop on makeup colors used on the actress during the filming of the movie. Now, I've got the lowdown on Stewart's red carpet look from last night. For the details, read more
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
