Megan Fox rocked the red carpet at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards dressed in Armani Prive with a classic Hollywood do that perfectly sculpted her face and complemented her one-strap gown.
Inspired to create a classic look for Megan Fox with a glamorous vibe, hairstylist Andy Lecompte achieved the look using Phyto Haircare to create a beautiful side-swept wave.
HERE’S HOW:
Lecompte started by applying Phyto Professional Intense Volume Mousse prior to blow-drying. He then set her hair using a 3/4-inch barrel curling iron and then pin curls. Once he released the pin curls, Lecompte brushed out her hair and gave it a deep side part.
This time last year I was playing ping pong @ The Four Seasons in Kona, Hawaii. Sigh
For any regular Pretty Connected readers you’re probably aware of my love for ping pong and specifically the table tennis social club, SPiN New York (and their handsome owners). In fact I’m the first member of their club (I have a card that says ‘001’ and everything!). And as their biggest fan I’m passing on an invitation for an event they are hosting tomorrow night!
When: Wednesday, January 19th, 6:30PM Where: Museum of Natural History Milstein Hall of Ocean Life on the first floor. (Enter the Museum at 77th Street.)
As part of their crusade for endless ridiculousness (all in the name of ping pong) and places they aspire to play the sport consider yourself invited to come play with them at the American Museum of Natural History under the 94-foot Giant Blue Whale. It will be an evening focused on the science and skill of ping pong and to discover how the brain benefits from our favorite game.
Improve your skills with instruction by our SPiN Pros during free, open play and partake in a conversation with aficionados, including Susan Sarandon, puzzle master Will Shortz, Wendy A. Suzuki, Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at NYU, and a few ranking champions in a short discussion moderated by Melanie Stiassny, Curator of Ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History.
This event is free and open to the public with a cash bar. Click HERE to learn more.
JC: Reserva de la Familia, Tradicional Reposado, Tradicional Silver, PlatinoRene Valdez for Jose Cuervo
I am no Tequila expert –I learned that last month at a private Tequila tasting hosted by Rene Valdez, Jose Cuervo’s National Tequila Ambassador. Then again, I never claimed to be, I’m not one that savors the taste nor do I enjoy having it on the rocks. As far as I’m concerned, mix it with something fruity so I don’t have to taste it and if it doesn’t give me a hangover the next day then it’s good quality in my book. Needless to say I seized the opportunity to attend the tasting and get better acclimated with the alcohol and learn it’s rich history.
For starters I learned that Jose Cuervo is a real person — Jose Antonio de Cuervo to be exact! And the man invented the Tequila industry over 250 years ago, before Mexico was even Mexico. The original distillery, La Rojeña, where Cuervo produced the first ever agave spirit (modern day Tequila) still stands today. 50 years later, the Cuervo family obtained the first license to sell and distribute Tequila –hence the 1798 date on the bottle.
The most expensive bottle of Tequila
My favorite part is ten generations later, it’s still a family-owned and operated company! This month the Jose Cuervo family is introducing Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver ($24.99/750mL). A reminiscent version of the original Tequila created more than 200 years ago by Don Jose Antonio de Cuervo in celebration of their rich heritage. So if you’re a tequila fan add this piece of history to your collection.
And speaking of Tequila, on Christmas Eve, Ami Mesika of GM Diamonds was confirmed as the maker of Tequila LEI 925; the most expensive bottle of Tequila –literally. The bottle is priced at $3.5 Million dollars thanks to it’s design of 3.6kilo of platinum with 6,400 diamonds on it for a total weight of 415ct. Needless to say, it won the Guinness record for the most expensive bottle in the world.
Of all the things I’d think to put 6,400 diamonds on, this would probably never cross my mind. Whenever I read stories like this, I’m baffled.
66 Degrees North, the brand that has been keeping Icelanders warm since 1926 unveiled it’s Winter 2011 Collection last week at the Scandinavia House Volvo Hall.
Creating an Icelandic experience –between the setting of the venue and serving REYKA Vodka with traditional Icelandic hors d’oeuvres (even the room was on the chillier side), their models walked the runway wearing select pieces from the 66 Degrees North Winter 2011 Men’s and Women’s collection.
True to their roots, 66 Degrees North is a response to Iceland’s challenging weather conditions (they can experience four seasons in one day!). The winter collection features a range of warm insulated and stylish protective clothing, comprised of a variety of down and nylon jackets, warm wool sweaters and accessories with accents of faux fur linings.
“We don’t let bad weather stop us from experiencing life!” – Halldor G Eyjolfsson, CEO 66 North.
I wish I could say the same! These recent storms in NY make me want to curl up by the imaginary fireplace (I wish I had) and never leave home. Although many pieces from this collection would have me singing another tune.

After flipping through the Look Book, I’m adding Vik Women’s Hooded Sweater ($168) in Red to my wish list! I love it!
