{iStyle} Designers Are A Girl’s Best Friend

By: Louise Whitehill, guest blogger

Friends are like shoes: so many gorgeous styles, vibrant colours and glorious heel sizes. Amongst the exotic are the old faithfuls: the Best Friend Forever, the Gay Best Friend, the Gobby One, the Charlotte (Sex and the City‘s prim, proper and polite character), the Hardcore Partier…but there is one particularly exclusive brand of friend that only the elite get access to – the designer friend.

Being an A-lister guarantees rubbing shoulders with the best and most talented designers [Read more...]

#MusicMonday – Alicia Keys “Sleeping With a Broken Heart”

It’s Miss Empire State of Mind in her element. Not her typical piano-esque music, but the beats are very Alicia and the song is composed/sung with lots of feeling.

I just love Alicia Keys’ “Sleeping With a Broken Heart.”

Look out for the painted flower tattoos on her back during the video. I’m not into tattoos, but these flowery designs are rather cute [Read more...]

During his performance on  Sunday November 22, 2009, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert sang his debut single, “For Your Entertainment.” The performance was loaded with Lambert thrusting his pelvis into the faces of dancers, kissing his male keyboardist, flicking his middle finger to the camera and singing some stuff that ABC felt the need to mute.

A few weeks ago, I blogged in {Rules of PR no. 27} about Adam Lambert getting too hot too soon post-American Idol, in light of his Details Magazine spread, and apparently I was the only one who agreed with myself…until the American Music Awards 2009.

Leashes, pelvic thrusts, BDSM gear and a trip down the stage… I called it weeks ago.

If there is anything that Adam Lambert’s performance proved, it is that he still can make an excellent headline!

But seriously, folks, like that Gloriana fiasco from the AMAs (Team Gloriana! That’s what I say, btw), are you surprised? Because I hate to break it to you, but I am not.

I’m not surprised because if you couldn’t see this coming from his watered down performances on American Idol, then you’ve been living under a rock.

I bet Jennifer Lopez is probably ridiculously happy that [Read more...]

2009 AMAs: GaGa’s Crotch-Thing, Rihanna’s White Worm & Glambert’s BDSM Moves

MTV did something right at the 2009 VMAs because it was entertaining and it’s a shame the American Music Awards are in dire need of a few lessons. The show was total garbage. I want those three hours of my life back.

I read an article this morning in the New York Times and I wondered if they were smoking the same junk the producers of the AMAs were.

Seriously?

They thought the show was great because Michael Jackson picked up four posthumous awards? Umm, hello, folks, Jeff Buckley is one of the few artists to have a number one hit song posthumously, so really, look for another unique angle to your story because that and J-Lo falling on her butt during “Louboutins” doesn’t make the show memorable or historical.

Proud to be an American, New York Times?

Really?

The show was an embarrassment [Read more...]

Health Lessons from Dr. Oz #wc09

Continuing with some lessons and recaps from the 2009 Women’s Conference in Long Beach, California, today’s post is dedicated to your health. The afternoon breakout session I attended, moderated by Dr. Mehmet Oz, was about leading a healthier life, so that your stress levels don’t affect your wellness or even kill you.

Hey All!

So I had the pleasure of attending the California Women’s Conference last week as an attendee and member of the press via the fantastic people at Lean Cuisine.

This week on the Pink Book will be dedicated to some of those lessons learned as well as some of the fun stuff too!

Before we get into any of that, some housekeeping:-

  • The official website http://www.californiawomen.org and the Twitter hash tag is #wc09
  • Click here for the Facebook page and here for the Twitter page.
  • My entire album is here and just like Twitter, in my blog ‘search’ or click the tag “wc09” for all the posts relating to the conference including highlights on the Minerva Award winners as well as insightful commentary from the panels and breakout sessions.

You can read my story below :)

With the exception of the ghost or animal, I would assume was living in the AC of my paranormal ocean liner hotel, The Queen Mary, I could safely say that my trip to California for the 2009 Women’s Conference was spectacular!

I’m full of glee as I write this and in complete awe of Maria Shriver for taking the initiative to put on such an event for not one, or two, but six years. From the speakers, to the people, to the exhibits – there was laughter, joy and yes, even a few tears.

I met two of my life’s inspirations in one place [Read more...]
