Her Famed Good Looks

Vogue, Februar 2007

Seit den 70ern sammelt Anne Montiminy Modemagazine. Damit auch andere etwas von ihrer Liebe für Models haben, gründete die Kanadierin 2002 HerFamedGoodLooks, ein digitales Archiv, indem sie die von ihr gescannten Cover, Ads und Editorials einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich macht.

Dabei möchte sie nicht nur allen anderen Modebegeisterten, die ihre Vorliebe für Photographien von schönen Models teilen, eine Freude machen, sondern auch den Lauf der Zeit festhalten: “Models and Magazines need to be archived for easy reference and to observe how people dressed an lived in decades past”, verriet sie der Dazed & Confused.

Julia Stegner hat den längeren...

...Körper, ich die längeren Beine. Kathrin an der Kamera und ich (eine Frage durfte ich auch stellen!) neben dem Aushängeschild der Mercedes Benz Fashionweek Berlin auf dem Dach des Hotel de Rome. Was fragt man eigentlich ein Model? Viel hätte ich Julia Stegner fragen können (ich bin nämlich ein Fan!), aber Fräulein Stegner das Mercedes Model? Groß bist Du, ja... zwei Zentimeter mehr haste. "Abspacken" kannste wohl auch. Sympatisch, ja, das bist Du! Vielleicht reden wir mal irgendwann in enstpanntere Atmosphäre!
Gedrecht haben wir das für Two for Fashion und die Les Mads haben hier das gleiche Setting nur andere Fragen. Ach ja, ich hatte eine selbstabgeschnittene Jeans Hotpant, ein weißes COS Shirt und einen ZARA Blazer an, getauscht hätte ich gern mit Julia S.! Übrigens sieht das immer so aus, wen FäschnBlogger auf der Berlin Fashionweek abhängen - naja, ab heute vielleicht...

Das Modelbusiness ist ein Arschloch!

Das ist keine Neuigkeit. Selbst Karl Lagerfeld sagte noch gestern bei Johannes B. Kerner, das Jobs in der Modebranche Berufe sind, "die auf Ungerechtigkeit basieren. Das ist etwas, das jedem logischen Konzept entgeht." Solange man das weiß, wenn man sich auf das schlitterige Parkett begibt, ist das in Ordnung, aber was, wenn nicht...? Was ist, wenn kleine osteuropäische Mädchen zu Massen unter falschen Versprechungen aus den Armen ihrer sorgenden Mütter gerissen werden und in den nimmersatten, fauligen Rachen der Industrie geworfen werden? Jung, unwissend, naiv mit gespreizten Beinen in aufreizenden Posen pornografische Modebilder produzieren? Wird #zensursula künftig auch die Modebranche treffen? Minderjährige in den Händen perverser Fotografen hart an der Grenze zur Pädophilie? "Ab Größe 42 ist das keine Mode mehr, da zieht man sich an. Im Grunde muss es 34 sein", sagte Herr Lagerfeld noch kürzlich. Weitere Zitate aus dem Interview hier.

Jedenfalls hat das Ex-Model Sara Ziff einen Film zum Thema gemacht. Es werden Fragen angesprochen wie "Sind die Models zu jung?", "Sind die Models zu dünn?", "Sind die Models alle superreich?" etc. allesamt Fragen, die einen eben so interessieren, wenn man sich ein wenig mit der Modelbranche befasst. Gesehen habe ich das gute Stück (noch) nicht. Viele Ausschnitte aus dem Werk gibt es aber bei Pedestrian.tv zu sehen.

Die Schiffer...

...ist im Grunde so, wie man es sich von einem deutschen Model erwartet. Vielleicht ist sie deshalb bis heute die All-Time-Favourite, die Muse, die Göttliche, der Exportschlager. Ich mochte Nadja Auermann immer lieber, was nichts an der Tatsache ändert, dass Claudia zu meiner Kindheit und Jugend gehört wie Pommes zu Schnitzel. Schön sie mal wieder öfter zu sehen. So z.B. in der Beilage des aktuellen Fantastic Man Heftes, das zeigt, dass zu jedem Fantastic Man eben auch eine Fantastic Woman gehört und sei es nur als schmückendes Beiwerk.








Der Rest hier.
We love you Clodia!

Ayzit Bostan in Berlin

Zur Berlin Fashionweek präsentierte Ayzit Bostan die Früchte ihrer Kooperation mit dem bayrischen niedersächsischen Taschenhersteller bree in einer Kombüse des Modezeltes am Bebelplatz. Weil sie dort nicht auch noch ihre eigene Kollektion zeigen wollte, entschied sie sich für einen etwas abgelegenen Präsentationsort, eine frisch geweißte Ladenfläche am Strausberger Platz. Bereits von draußen strahlte der Raum und trotz klinischer Kälte vermochten die zart im Ventilatorenstrom fliegenden Kleider, die ihre Entsprechungen in den Zeichnungen der Künstlerin Ika Künzel (Magazinjunkies bekannt durch ihre Illustrationen für die Mode Depesche) an den Wänden fanden, eine Oase der Ruhe im Modezirkustrubel zu schaffen:

FHM Hot Sexy Indonesian Models

FHM or For Him Magazine is an international monthly Men's Lifestyle magazine. The magazine began publication in 1985 in the United Kingdom under the name For Him and changed its title to FHM in 1994, although the full For Him Magazine continues to be printed on the spine of each issue. Founded by Chris Astridge, the magazine was a predominantly fashion-based publication distributed through high street men's fashion outlets. Circulation expanded to newsagents as a quarterly by the spring of 1987.[1] FHM was sold from EMAP to Bauer in December 2007.[2]

After the emergence of James Brown's Loaded magazine (regarded as the blueprint for the lad's mag genre), For Him firmed up its editorial approach to compete with the expanding market and introduced a sports supplement. It then went monthly and changed its name to FHM. It subsequently expanded internationally.

The magazine is printed on high quality glossy paper and the photography is of high technical quality.[1] FHM became one of the best-selling magazines in Britain during the mid to late 1990s, selling more than 700,000 copies per month by 1999[1]. Towards the end of the decade the lads' culture in which the magazine thrived began to die off and publishers turned to celebrity-oriented titles to boost overall sales.

Rachel Bilson hot Pics

Rachel Sarah Bilson (born August 25, 1981)[1] is an American actress. After growing up in a California show business family, she made her television debut in 2003 and subsequently became well-known for playing Summer Roberts on the prime time dramedy series The O.C. Bilson made her film debut in the 2006 film The Last Kiss and will star in the 2008 thriller Jumper.

Early life
Bilson was born in Los Angeles, California to a Jewish American father[2] (writer/director/producer Danny Bilson) and a Philadelphia-born Italian American mother,[3] Janice Stango, who is a sex therapist.[4] Her father comes from a showbusiness family, as her great-grandfather, George Bilson, was the head of the trailer department at RKO Pictures, while her great-grandmother, Hattie, was a screenwriter and her grandfather, Bruce Bilson, is a film director.[5] Bilson's parents divorced during her childhood, and in 1997, her father remarried Heather Medway, an actress and the mother of Bilson's half sister Hattie (born December 19, 2001).

Bilson has been noted as having a "self-destructive, rebellious period" during her teen years.[6] When she was thirteen, she and a group of her brother's friends[7] were involved in a car accident, a head-on collision with another car. As a result, Bilson was unconscious for a few days, had a scar above her right eye, and sometimes suffers from migraines and memory loss;[8] she has stated that the experience "changed" her,[7] encouraging her to "stop... getting into trouble"[5] and stopping her from "going down that road".[7] Bilson graduated from Walter Reed Middle School in 1996 and from Notre Dame High School in 1999. During her time at Notre Dame, she appeared in productions of Bye Bye Birdie, Once Upon a Mattress and The Crucible, and appeared on stage together with Katharine McPhee, who attended the same school and would later be a finalist on American Idol.[9]

Career
Bilson attended Grossmont College in San Diego, but dropped out after one year,[10] taking her father's advice to pursue a professional acting career[5] and making several appearances in commercials, including advertisements for Raisin Bran and Pepto-Bismol.[5] She made her screen acting debut in early 2003, appearing in episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, and in the short film, Unbroken. Bilson was subsequently cast in The O.C., which debuted in August of 2003. Her character, Summer Roberts, was initially intended to appear in only a few episodes, but became a series regular after a successful run, as Bilson's on-screen romance with Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) became a noted aspect of the series.[10]

Bilson with Adam Brody on The O.C.
As a result of the success of The O.C., Bilson has become well-known among teenage audiences. At the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, Bilson collected three awards - "Choice Hottie Female", "Choice TV Actress (Drama)" and "Best Onscreen TV Chemistry" (jointly won with Adam Brody).[11] In 2005, Maxim magazine named her sixth in their annual "Hot 100 List";[12] in 2006, the publication awarded her #14.[13] The UK edition of FHM Magazine named her 28th in the 2006 100 Sexiest Women in the World list,[14] while the US Edition Ranked her 77th in 2005.[15] Bilson was also named one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" in 2006 People magazine.[16]

Bilson's first film role was in The Last Kiss, a romantic comedy/drama also starring Zach Braff and Jacinda Barrett. In the film, which opened on September 15, 2006, Bilson plays a college student who seduces Braff's character. Bilson had long wanted to work with Braff, having admired the film Garden State, which he directed and starred in.[17] A body double was used for the film's sexual scene between Bilson and Braff's characters, as Bilson specified that she "feel[s] really strong[ly]" about not appearing in a nude scene.[18] One review of the film noted that Bilson played the role with "surprising depth",[19] although another critic described her role as "Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction as an airhead valley girl with a hot bod".[20]
Bilson has stated that she prefers acting in feature films to appearing on television, and that she would like the kind of roles "that Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson are offered".[10] She has specified that though she is "grateful" for the success of The O.C.,[21] she feels that the show "is over" and that she is "ready to move on" to film roles.[22] In September of 2006, unconfirmed reports surfaced that Bilson was linked to star in a film version of the comic book character Wonder Woman;[23] Bilson has stated that these reports were untrue.[24] These reports spawned solely from a Wonder Woman costume she wore in an episode of the The O.C.
In late 2006, Bilson was cast in the role of Millie in Doug Liman's thriller Jumper, as the replacement for actress Teresa Palmer; Bilson began filming the role in October of that year.[25] The film is scheduled for a February 2008 release.
Bilson was also featured on Stuffmagazine.com

Personal life
Bilson began dating her The O.C. co-star, Adam Brody, in 2003. In 2005, Brody gave Bilson a pit bull, Penny Lane, as a birthday present. The couple later adopted another dog, Thurmen Murmen. The two split in November 2006. She has been recently spotted with her Jumper co-star, Hayden Christensen. Rachel has been recognized by several media sources as being a "fashion junkie"[26][27][28] She has described herself as having a "vintage" sense of style, and noted Kate Moss and Diane Keaton as inspirations.[28] Bilson enjoys watching television game shows, especially Jeopardy!,[5] and has stated that if she were not acting, she would be a pre-school teacher.[28] Her favorite designers are, Stella McCartney and Chanel.
Bilson has turned down requests to appear semi-nude in magazines, specifying that she feels that her body "is sacred" and "not there for the whole world to see".[29]

Great Hair Beauty Secrets Revealed!

Here are some tips and secrets to be the perfect diva that you can try at home, without spending a fortune in the beauty parlors and wandering from beauty clinics and saloons. Remember, they are not to be passed on to your friends:

The hot tip to make your hair smell aromatic is to prepare your own hair perfume at home. Mix 6 tablespoons of powdered charcoal, 5 tablespoons of powdered myrrh and 1 tablespoon of powdered benzoin together and sieve it thoroughly. Add 2-3 drops of bergamot oil and 2-3 drops of sandalwood oil, 1 tablespoon of potassium nitrate and mucilage of tragacanth to the mixture until it acquires the consistency of a stiff paste. Heat the mixture over a water bath. Shape it into little cones and dry them. Whenever you wash your hair, light one of the cones while your hair is still damp and let them soak the smell of the cone.

A perfect way to get rid of dry, brittle, dull hair is to massage mayonnaise into your hair thoroughly, starting from the roots to the hair ends. Then pile your hair on top of your head and cover them fully with plastic food wrap. Wrap the pre-heated towel around it and keep it on for 10 minutes. This will help in deep-conditioning your hair. Now, replace the towel with another pre-heated towel and leave it on for 10 minutes too. Now remove all the wraps and shampoo your hair. This cholesterol treatment once a month for your hair is a boon that will keep it soft and shiny.

If you don't have time to shampoo your oily hair daily, you can try this out. Pour some cornstarch into a dish and dip a clean, large blush brush into it. Brush your scalp and hair roots thoroughly with the cornstarch and leave it on for 10 minutes to soak off the oil. Then brush away the cornstarch flakes, ridding your hair with all that unwanted greasiness.

Make a mixture by adding ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 gallon of distilled water and store it in the refrigerator. Once a fortnight, shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly and then pour 2 cups of the mixture over the scalp and let it saturate the hair. Rinse your hair with cold water to get rid of all the drab of hair styling products.

A possible cure for your impossible dandruff is vinegar. Massage it into your scalp and leave it to dry for a few minutes. Wash the hair thoroughly and repeat the process daily. Dandruff usually disappears within a few days.

The ancient Mayan women used avocados to keep their skin and hair healthy. Here is their infallible hair mask that you can use too - Mix ½ ripe avocado, 1 tbsp. olive oil, ½ small banana and 1 egg yolk together and massage it into your hair. Cover it with a plastic wrap and leave it on for one hour. Rinse the mask with warm water and then shampoo your hair thoroughly.

Say goodbye to your dandruff by dissolving 2 aspirins in your dandruff shampoo before washing your hair with it. Moisturize your hair with a good conditioner later.

Powder your greasy hair by putting it a little at the root of your hair before straying. For very oily hair, powder your hair heavily and keep it on for 15 minutes. Then wash the hair completely and condition lightly before making the desired style.

To bleach your hair naturally or just lighten their color, rub lemon juice on them and wander out for a walk in natural sunlight.

Make-up Tips for Teenagers

Mothers have been fretting over their teenaged girls ever-increasing cosmetic use and the threat to their skin. Now they should breathe easier for even teens can use cosmetics made especially for them. Teenagers should opt for more natural look and use light application of makeup only as their skin is still young and is naturally beautiful. Soft and subtle are the two keywords that teens should keep in mind while doing makeup. The colors that work best for them are the ones that are closest to their natural skin tone or add just a bit of color to their faces such as shades of pink, coral, neutral brown and gray.

Here are a few steps that any teenage girl can use to transform into a blooming beauty in a jiffy:

• Use a concealer pencil that matches you skin tone to cover any skin imperfections, acnes, skin blemishes, scars or dark circles.
  
• Use a toothbrush to brush brows into place.
  


• Use a soft gray eye pencil to fill in any gaps in the eyebrows.
  
• Use soft gray eyeliner to line the lashes and blend it well to the outside edge.
  


• Apply one coat of brown mascara but if you have naturally black eyelashes, you may also use black mascara too.
  
• If you have a warm skin undertone, use sheer application of peach blush but if you have a cool skin undertone, use soft pink shade. Blend it well using cotton ball.
  
• Use natural shade of lip color or just sheer gloss for a soft nude look and you are ready for the party, girl.

15 Ideas for the perfect officewear

Look for more tapered suits with generally relaxed silhouettes
Suit coats and blazers are still predominantly made of wool and other natural fabrics, with blends of stretch and body-hugging materials such as lycra and Tencel, in order to give them a more modern look and feel.

Don't hesitate to purchase solid pattern suits because they will always remain classics. Keep an eye out for pinstripe and windowpane patterns because they're all the rage this season.

• Pay attention to colour combination; we recommend fluorescent colours - purple, pink, fuchsia, and light greens.
  


• If you don't want to follow the existing colour code, stick to conservative colors. Great, versatile colours that always remain classics are medium to dark neutrals such as charcoal, black and navy, as well as earthy shades like rust and olive.
  


• Go for longer, leaner jacket with softer and less constructed shoulders. Jackets also sport a higher button stance, narrower notched lapels and flap pockets.
  


• Also, look for jackets, featuring minimal lining and patch pockets, which when, combined with sportier pants, give you a more relaxed appearance.
  


• Separates are also gaining popularity because of their extreme versatility. Separates aren't exactly complete suits, but rather the combination of a pair of dressy pants with a matching blazer, making for a sportier look. One can wear them occasionally to freshen their style and wardrobe, with a whole new casual yet elegant look.
  


• Wearing casual and dressy articles together is also gaining a lot of popularity at workplaces. Instead of wearing the more conventional tie and shirt, try pairing up your suits with fine-gauge knits.
  


• Stylish V-necks, crew necks and turtlenecks will all look great under a sassy suit.
  Although pleats seem to be making a slow comeback, slimmed-down, cuffless flat fronts are still the norm this season.
  


• Spread collar shirts are still highly fashionable, yet collars are now trimmer than they used to be in the past.
  


• "In" ties are skinnier than those we were accustomed to seeing for the past few years. Opt for shiny silks, as well as ties with a matte finish.
  


• This season's dressy shoes are wide and square at the tips, for both lace-ups and loafers.
  Rubber and wedge-shaped soles are also part of the newest trend in footwear for men -- a good thing, as these are more comfortable than traditional heels.
