Vanessa Williams on Aging and Fish Pedicures
You might have caught a glimpse of Vanessa Williams's sense of humor in the first installment of my interview with her, in which we discussed her use of Botox, along with her love of cars, Irish music, and baking carrot cakes.
Currently, in conjunction with the Dress For Success organization, Vanessa is making a few appearances for the Botox Cosmetic: Express Success Campaign, and in October, we'll be seeing her back on the air as the villainous Wilhelmina Slater on the much-loved Ugly Betty.

Even Fish-Face Is Mildly Alluring With This Gloss
This lip gloss has me questioning my commitment to Sparkle Motion. Shu Uemura Vinyl Unlimited ($20) is a rare breed of shimmer- and glitter-free lip gloss. Put simply, Vinyl Unlimited is to lip gloss as lucite heels are to footwear: Unashamedly, unavoidably sexy.

Something's Fishy About The Fish Pedicure
By now, you have likely heard about the fish pedicure being performed by a Virginia salon (since getting so much press, it is now being offered in other salons, including one in central Ohio).
