You know what’s cringey? When people refer to Kim Kardashian’s nuptials as “America’s royal wedding.” Um, no. Maybe the guest list and price tags were similar, but to me it was more of an over-the-top Trista and Ryan sort of affair. Times one thousand. Plus, call me cynical, but it’s just a little too convenient—konvenient—that Kim married a Kris. With a K. I’m anticipating the Kim & Kris TV spin-off already.
Anyway! Snark aside, who doesn’t love gawking at a celebrity wedding, I ask you? It’s been a great summer for that, starting with Will and Kate, of course, and then Kate Moss and Jamie Hince. Now we have Kim and her new hubby, Kris Humphries (who should really just change his name to Kardashian at this point and call it a day). They got hitched on Saturday… and I am reluctantly going to come out and say that I really love Kim’s look. So sue me. Do you? Let’s discuss. Keep reading »

Unfortunately, Christina isn’t the only celeb who has fallen victim to the Playboy mansion notion of beauty. (You know: makeup applied with a trowel; platinum blonde hair extensions, etc.) Keep reading »
I hate to follow one celebrity hair snarking session with another so soon after, HOWEVER—I’m more than a little distressed by this recent pic of Miss Moss sporting some ratty-looking, Lindsay Lohan-like hair extensions, along with a deep faux tan and a few inches of visible roots. And just when I was praising (and did a how-to on) the voluminous bouffant ‘do (at left, above) that she showed off at a Topshop event a few weeks ago! I guess THAT’s over, then.
But make no mistake—unless Kate’s suddenly lost her touch, she’s the closest we’ve got to an Official Arbiter of Cool. I just cringe that this particular look is what’s considered cool right now.
Sorry, but unless you’re a supermodel, dark roots and unbrushed hair will just make you look poorly groomed—not “on-trend.”
