With the reopening of the Elizabeth Arden flagship store on Thursday, the company is retailing its famous Eight-Hour Cream for US$5 for Friday and this weekend at that one location.

Some odds and ends from the last few weeks on the site that we might not have mentioned at ‘Insider’: Levi’s broadcasts in colour: the autumn–winter 2008 denim range; Sugarluxe’s high gloss: Chandra Michaels, the artist behind hot luxury brand Sugarluxe, held a trunk show at Austin’s beautiful Blanton Museum of Art; Talking Man to Man: for men [...]

I’ve been doing a bit of clearing out of old CD- and DVD-ROMs here at head office and among them was a shoot from 2005 by photographer Janet Liu. Obviously, as it was unpublished, she retains copyright in this image and I’m putting it up only for critiquing purposes—and to give Janet a small promotional [...]

I haven’t been following this story, but I received a Digg about it today from my friend Igor Polyakov. American expat blogger Phil Schwarzmann, living in Finland, is being sued by Iranian expat and newspaper publisher Alexis Kouros over trivialities, it seems. I am getting this strictly from Schwarzmann’s side so I have not read [...]

Former President Bill Clinton has been singing his wife’s praises all over the State of Texas, but some feminists, myself included, are sceptical of his motives. When our 42nd president visited the University of Texas at Austin Wednesday, February 27 (which was Chelsea’s birthday) he drew a crowd of around 6,000 people, according local news [...]
Tue, 04 Mar 2008 01:15:08 +0000 - Angelina Jolie writes eyewitness account from Iraq
Late last week, Angelina Jolie, UNHCR ambassadrice and actress, wrote an open letter published in The Washington Post, reporting her observations in Iraq. I am always keen to hear first-hand reports rather than things filtered through some editorial agenda. This publication is no exception: I make it no secret that we support environmental causes—and have [...]

Supermodel Kate Moss has lost her top spot as Tatler’s best-dressed woman, it was reported today. Agyness Deyn, British Model of the Year, has taken her place. The magazine stated, ‘Whether she’s sipping chai at the Russian Tea Rooms in Primrose Hill or kicking back at Henry Holland’s studio, she’s fash-fabulous … Rockin.’ Moss manages a [...]

Did Atonement win the Academy Award? Or did the crime thriller No Country for Old Men swipe the Oscar? We now have all the answers from February 24 when this year’s winners were revealed. While we were all hoping our favourites would win the industry’s most sought-after awards, that wasn’t always the case. By the [...]
Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:51:29 +0000 - Tying up loose ends: StarNow judging; forged New York letter
We had to make our final decisions for the StarNow Australian Model Search 2008 today. We had a shortlist thanks to the voters who went in to StarNow, and chose from those models rather than the full pool. It was an interesting bunch and I do know the choices made by Lucire editor Laura Ming-Wong and [...]
Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:37:26 +0000 - University of Texas reaches out after broadcasters, Texas Democrats brush off students
National media have been very clear. The Democratic candidates need Texas to secure their party’s nomination. Both parties have gone to the media proclaiming their massive efforts to reach young voters. The Democratic Party needed something big to grab attention (and voters) for the Texas primaries and both the Clinton and Obama campaigns had big [...]

Katoucha Niane, the model who graced Yves Saint Laurent’s campaigns in the late 1980s, has been confirmed as the body recovered Thursday in the Seine. She had been reported missing on February 1. French police officers are treating her death as accidental: it was believed that she returned to her houseboat drunk and fell in [...]
Sat, 01 Mar 2008 11:29:21 +0000 - Fellow publishers, do you go through this?
I can’t believe it: yet another stylist’s letter making the rounds in NYC that we have no knowledge of. Again, I won’t name the stylist, but if you are going to go around with a letter that bears my name and signature, I’ll give you one bit of advice: get the postal code right. Copying [...]
Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:36:28 +0000 - Checking the StarNow Australian Model Search entrants
I’ve logged in to the StarNow site to see who has added their names and portfolios to the Australian Model Search that the agency is running. I am happy to note that there are more ladies over 30, plus a handful over 45. To those ladies, I say: good on you. There is no age [...]
Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:41:40 +0000 - Being a harsh judge helps in Miss New Zealand
I see Miss World 1975 Wilnelia Merced—Mrs Bruce Forsyth now—was mentioned on our blog, which takes us into the world of pageantry once again (OK, bad segue). It’s the season for it and I am unofficially told that I will be judging Miss Universe New Zealand again. Last year’s pageant was an eye-opener and this year I [...]
