YouTube - Watch Susan Boyle - Britain’s Got Talent

My friend sent me this and like everyone else I was skeptical but also like everyone else - I WAS SO WRONG!! I think Susan Boyle is BEAUTIFUL!!! She literally made me cry and reminded me not to be so cynical and judge anyone based on looks…

I just watched it ‘again’ right now and I started to cry - again!!! So sweet.

A good BEAUTY LESSON for us all if I say so myself!

Good luck Susan, I’ll buy your CD and I haven’t bought a CD in years!!

If you’re looking for ways to do your part to help conserve our precious resources (in Los Angeles…water!), want to cut down on the amount of bath products you use, or want smooth hair and skin….LATimes.com recommends the Jonathan Beauty Water shower filter created by the good-looking yet whiny Jonathan Antin from Bravo’s reality show “Blow Out.”

“As you may have heard, California is in the midst of a drought. The Metropolitan Water District, the agency that supplies Southern California with its drinking water, recently said it may have to reduce water deliveries to the Los Angeles area by 15% to 25%. Now while this is disturbing news that threatens the region’s economy and very ecology, more critically, it spells trouble for your coiffure.”   EEEK!

Since there is nothing more important happening in the world (note the sarcasm folks) let’s discuss New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology is wondering whether they should make Brazilian waxes illegal? Ummm…WHY? It’s not like Jersey girls don’t already have enough beauty stereotypes to overcome but now they can’t zero their beaver?

Seems unjust if you ask me.

Celebrity Hair Spotlight

Kelly Clarkson hairstyles have ranged from small-town-simple to Hollywood glamour since she became Americas sweetheart after winning the first season of American Idol in 2002. She has been spotted sporting some of the trendiest hairstyles, including long voluminous locks reminiscent of fellow American Idol winner Katherine McPhee, the poof/pompadour of 2004 & 2005, and most recently the classic bob of 2007 & 2008. Although she has never been considered a hair-fashion trendsetter, her hairstyles have always been ones to take notice. Kelly has a round/square face so her hairstyles are generally designed with the objective of creating a more oval-shaped face. If you have a wide/round/square face shape, then these Kelly Clarkson hairstyles are sure to suit you well….

I actually think that Tori Spelling looks better all thin and what not. Let’s face facts her face is never going to be “beautiful” even with all the money and plastic surgery she still looks like a female version of her dad …soo….

Being thin suits her.

I’m just sayin….

I like her, and it’s not because we have the same name.

“Michelle Obama graces the cover of next month’s Vogue magazine, marking the second time a U.S. first lady has appeared on the front of one of the world’s leading fashion magazines. Obama, 45, who has been hailed by both U.S. retailers and the media as a new fashion icon, donned a magenta sheath dress for the cover photo. The dress was designed by Jason Wu, who also created her white inaugural ball gown. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz took the cover photo and several fashion shots featured inside the March edition of Vogue.”

Well I was popping around the web this morning, trying to find my daily fix of “celebrity-giggles” and bingo-bango! Found it! Here is the lead singer of “Tokio Hotel” being compared to a cartoon Dragon Ball Z, complete twins if you ask me.

But that’s not the part that totally made me go…”WTF!” …

 THAT’S A DUDE! - Bill Kaulitz to be exact. You can make fun of me if you want but I don’t really know much about the band “Tokio Hotel” and when I came across the image, I totally thought.. “Oh that’s funny, she does look like that cartoon..” - Oops!

Well all I have to say is that is the prettiest young man I have ever seen, reminds me of a young Boy George. (Yes, yes… I am that old.)
