Hairdresser “Cuts Hair By Day and Crime By Night”
Watch out Beantown criminals! Boston Dawna, a hairdresser who made a nickname for herself by patrolling the streets of Venice, CA and making citizen’s arrests, is moving back to her hometown, according to the Los Angeles Times. Armed with a police scanner, a bike, and “handcuffs she buys in bulk from the Pleasure Chest sex [...]
’60s Hair and Makeup We Love
Christina Hendricks sure can fill out a trench coat. The curvy Mad Men star is following in Gisele’s footsteps as the face (and body) of London Fog’s Fall 2010 campaign. Both the brand and Hendricks’s beehive-inspired up do are a throwback to the 60s, which got us thinking about some of our favorite beauty holdovers [...]
What’s Up With the Blue Hair?
When a pop star performs in a crazy outfit and outrageous hair, it’s just part of their act. So when Katy Perry wore a lavender wig in her video for the song “California Gurls,” we didn’t consider it a serious beauty statement. Then we noticed Rihanna recently taking the stage with her short hair dyed [...]
Eco-Friendly Beauty Goes Mainstream!

Still, that baffled me—especially with this muggy summer we’ve been having. While I walk the oven-hot [...]
Do You Judge People’s Facebook Photos?
A friend recently confessed to delighting in the fact that a former high school rival looked 10 years older than their shared age. (Really delighting—like, looked through 100+ pictures.) This forced us to face an ugly truth: People Facebook stalk not only to see who’s still hot—but to see who is now NOT. For every, [...]
Makeup Designed for Muslims
We were intrigued when we learned of a Halal makeup range that launched in the UK last week called Samina Pure Makeup. Halal in this instance means makeup that’s free of animal and alcohol content and that wasn’t tested on animals. The founder of the brand, Samina Akhter, created it after finding a void in [...]
Summer Blockbuster Fragrances
Eat, Pray, Love made me want to eat the food (OK, I only made it through the Italy section) more than smell the scenery. But hearing about Fresh introducing three new fragrances tied to the movie Eat, Pray, Love got me thinking. (“Eat” is sweet, for Italy; “Pray” is spicy, for India; “Love” is floral, [...]

3 Cute Ways To Style Wet Hair
When Lady Gaga performed on the Today show in a cloud of rain, it got us thinking: hair can be hard to style in heat and humidity, but what about when it’s downright drenched from the ocean or random thunderstorms? We looked for the simplest and most stylish ways to style wet hair.
