Bella Quiz: Quotes on Beauty

BellaSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 12:00:57 -0700

One of my favorite musings on beauty comes from Oscar Wilde, who wrote,

Beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.

(Oscar also practiced what he preached, wearing his hair long about a century before other men did.)

But we don't need to look at Victorian dandies alone for musings on beauty. Take this quiz to see if you can match a few pretty quotes with the people who made them!

Don't know about you, but I can never get enough quotes on beauty - especially when it comes to guessing which women are behind them. (It's not always who you'd think!) The last such quiz started out with some words from Oscar Wilde, and this time, I'll whet your appetite with a zinger from Lucille Ball.

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.

Five Reasons Jessica Simpson's Beauty Show Might Be Awesome

BellaSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:00:15 -0700

This week, we learned that Jessica Simpson is planning a new reality show. With a working title of The Price of Beauty, the show will follow Jess around the world as she explores body image and conceptions of beauty. Could it be that after the Mom Jeans debacle, she has body image on the brain? And could it be that TPOB will turn out to be must-see TV? For five ways this show could turn out to be amazing, read more.

There's a high likelihood of priceless quotes
Jessica probably will never have another Chicken of the Sea moment, but let's hope for some good "platymapus"-style moments. Let's face it, the girl can be funny - especially because she knows how to laugh at herself.

. . . but Jess is older and wiser, too
Six years have passed since she did Newlyweds, and she's matured a lot. If she can explore different cultures' beauty ideals with a curious mind, this show might have some substance along with the silliness.

She's gonna be a Gonzo girl
Reports say that Jessica will subject herself to "shocking" beauty treatments. She's already admitted to having had Restylane injections, so can we expect more needles, prodding, and poking? Witnessing a bird poop facial could be funny, but she has the opportunity to show the not-so-pretty side of primping, too. Either way, it should provide some compelling footage.

She's got a few things to say
Frankly, it seems like Jessica is tired of people discussing her weight. (Who wouldn't be?) After being criticized for being "fat" - which is a stretch, and even if she were fat, so what? - she's probably ready to take on our culture's obsession with thinness. If she challenges our often-narrow vision of what it means to be beautiful, that could be powerful television.

Role model, hello!
Lots of girls look up to Jessica, and if she's able to present a diverse view of what it means to be beautiful, they could wind up feeling good about not looking "perfect." And that could be the show's biggest success of all.

Are you curious to see how this show unfolds? Will you be checking it out with me?

Bella Donna: Claudette Colbert

BellaSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:01:48 -0800

As my grandma would say, Claudette Colbert was a smart lady. Not just smart for her keen business sense, but for her fashionable, ambitious personality, too. Born in France as Lily Chauchoin, Colbert came to America as a young girl. Always impeccable in appearance, Colbert once dreamed of becoming a fashion designer until stumbling into acting in her late teens.

The red-headed dynamo with versatile talent appeared in a few dramatic roles, but was most often cast in sophisticated or screwball-type comedies. One of my favorites? Her role as a runaway heiress in 1934's It Happened One Night, for which she won an Oscar.

Notorious for her requests to be filmed and photographed from the left side only, I've uncovered a few other interesting beauty facts about the cosmopolitan star:

The reason she wanted to be filmed from the left side was because of a bump on the right side of her nose from a childhood accident.
She was known for her trademark wavy bob with fluffy bangs. Noted stylist Sydney Guilaroff said, "I adored my long and enduring friendship with Claudette. I studied her lovely face and cut her hair very short. Then I gave her bangs. She kept the hairdo the rest of her life with small variations on it."

Learn more fun beauty facts and see pictures of Colbert, when you read more.

She was quoted in Lois P. Frankel's Kindling the Spirit as saying, "It matters more what's in a woman's face than what's on it."
She worked with legendary makeup artist Max Factor, who was responsible for creating Clara Bow's famous cupid's bow lips. For Colbert, he developed a shade specifically for her called Dark.
For a famous scene in the film The Sign of the Cross, Colbert apparently bathed in asses' milk. According to Colbert's 1996 obituary in the New York Times, Colbert confessed that the "asses' milk" was actually made from a powdered product called Klim. "I was in the pool all day." Colbert said, "The Klim was so warm my bangs came uncurled. When the electricians turned off all the hot lights for an hour it congealed and the Klim turned to cream cheese."
