FiFi Awards the Fragrances of the Year

Last night, beauty editors, celebrities, and cosmetics executives gathered in New York to celebrate the FiFi awards. It's often called the Oscars of the fragrance industry, which says as much about its prestige as it does about who's honored. It's rare to see small perfumes win Fragrance of the Year; instead, the Fragrance Foundation gives awards to scents with broader distribution. (So in that case, it really is like the Oscars!)

The women's fragrances of the year are Daisy Marc Jacobs, Intimately Beckham Women, Prada Infusion d'Iris, and Christian Lacroix Rouge (created with Avon). Do you think these perfumes deserved the honors? I personally can't understand the wild popularity of Daisy Marc Jacobs - it just doesn't do anything for me - but it looks like this scent is just getting bigger and bigger.

Love It or Hate It? Wanita "D.Woods" Woodgette's Uneven Hair

Yesterday at the 36th Annual FIFI Awards, Danity Cane singer Wanita "D.Woods" Woodgette arrived wearing an unusual, uneven hairstyle. The front was short, brushed forward and slightly swept to the right side. The back extends to her décolletage and there were chunky, bright berry-colored highlights throughout. What's your take on this frou-frou hairstyle at the FiFis?
