L’Oreal Paris Becomes Star Worthy as They Celebrate their 100th Birthday
L’Oreal Paris received a very special birthday present this past week when the Hollywood Chambers of Commerce presented them with a Friend of the Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

L’Oreal is giving the Walk of Fame a make over by helping to fund its restoration, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year.

Bad Hair Day for Chris Rock’s Good Hair
After Chris Rock’s five year old daughter, Lola asked him “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair”, the perplexed comedian set out on a journey around to world to document what black men and woman go through for beautiful hair. The result of Rock’s exploration into the multi-million dollar African American hair industry is birthed in Roadside Attractions and HBO Films’ Good Hair. Co-written and produced by Rock the film will debut in theaters this Friday, October 9th.
Unfortunately, Rock is having a bad hair day. According to Access Hollywood, Regina Kimbell is suing rock for copyright infringement, unfair competition and fraud (yikes!), claiming the documentary is very similar to her film, “My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage.” Kimbell is suing in the amount of at least $5 Million.
Hard Candy: They’re Back and Exclusive at Walmart
Exclusively at Walmart, the former prestige beauty brand, Hard Candy, resurfaces this week for the masses, priced at $5 – $10. An impressive price point considering they will launch with 261 items ranging from nail polish, bronzers, tinted moisturizers, to lip stains, lip glosses, and a variety of eyeliners, eyeshadows, mascaras, and more.
Founded in 1995 by Dineh Mohajer, Hard Candy is one of those brands that takes me back. That’s the year Clueless hit theatres and every female teen from that generation, become instantly obsessed with Alicia Silverstone. Well at least I did, so when she
Sham-gri La! Leila Shams Spring 2010 Collection
Last week, I had the pleasure of celebrating the launch of Leila Sham’s Spring 2010 Collection at her beautiful, drool-worthy apartment in Williamsburg. If I wasn’t so in love with the collection and consumed by my excitement of having the opportunity to own Style No. 20 Bicolor Sequin Dress (Color: Purple to Gold), I would say she missed her calling as an interior designer. Except having known Leila and how creative she is, it’s safe to say she has a lot of callings.
This dress is so amazing! You can actually brush the sequence down to reveal the purple side or up to see gold, creating whatever purple/gold combination desired!

Spin and the City
Susan Sarandon may have played a Queen in Exit the King, but off stage she remains on her thrown as the Queen of SPiN. Susan, alongside owners Bill Mack, Franck Raharinosy, Jonathan Bricklin, and Andrew Gordon welcomed guests to their 13,000 square feet table tennis social club this past Thursday to their grand opening hosted by Vanity Fair and Hermes.
The celebration and space was nothing short of pure magic. In fact it was out of control AMAZING. With a 30 ft bar and lounge that looks into the 23rd street subway station and 17 ping pong tables on Olympic caliber flooring, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen (and after 8yrs in NY, that’s rare).
The room was filled with members, celebrities, heartthrobs, models, nerds, hipsters, fashionistas, Olympians, legends, reporters, artists, bankers, – oh and Spider-Man. No matter your status, age, or playing ability, Spin offered an equal playing field and allowed us to be kids again. They gave us game time on their courts and served gourmet popcorn and grilled cheese compliments of their restaurant, Ducks.
Guests played dress up in Hermes scarves while waiting for their turn to be photographed. Not only did the full size pictures print out instantly, but it also allowed you to enter your email address to have the images sent to your account.
I clearly had a lot of fun with this feature.
Later on the party continued in their private Fred Perry room.
Victoria’s Secret to the Rescue!
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Week Suite at the Loft at the Byrant Park Hotel was a welcome respite for attendees taking a break from the tents and in need of some papering. Offering beverages and snacks, as well as manicures in their new fall shades, guests had a place to just hang out and relax in between shows.
