			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <strong>Telegraph.co.uk</strong>, <strong>McDonald&#8217;s uniforms in the UK were given a fashion makeover by designer Bruce Oldfield</strong>.  Oldfield is famous for dressing <strong>Hollywood actresses, European aristocracy &amp; British royalty</strong>.</p>

<p>An old uniform is worn by the lady on the far right.  <strong>What do you think about the new uniforms?</strong>  I love that the guys will have to wear a suit &amp; tie. :)  <strong>Nothing like a man with an accent in a suit.</strong>  <strong>Should good ol&#8217; Bruce come over to do a makeover for the U.S. uniforms?</strong>  I also love that Bruce is wearing &#8220;Chucks&#8221; (Taylors) with his suit. <img src='http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span><strong>HerRoom.com is hosting their<em> 2nd Annual Undie Awards</em> which helps raise  money for cervical cancer education.</strong>  I&#8217;m sure many of us know someone who has fallen victim to cancer, so please take a minute of your time to <strong>simply vote for your favorite brand of underwear to help this cause.</strong>  Every time someone votes <strong>Her Room will donate $0.25 to the NCCPEC</strong> (National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign)  Go to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.theundies.com/" title="HerRoom - The Undies">TheUndies.com</a> to vote.  </span></span></p>
<p><span><span></span></span><span><span>                                            <img width="270" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Mark%20Calvin%20Klein.jpg" alt="Mark Calvin Klein" height="381" /></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><strong>This year men can also vote for their favorite brand!</strong>  So, send this to your boyfriend, father, brothers, pals, etc.  I don&#8217;t want to influence your vote or anything, but I had to put this old picture of the <strong>Calvin Klein ad with Mark Wahlberg</strong> for your viewing pleasure.  After all, he is in his undies isn&#8217;t he?  <img src='http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p><span><span></span></span><span><span>After you&#8217;ve completed your vote you will be able to get a <strong>10% off coupon code from HerRoom!</strong>  Sounds good to me!  (I&#8217;m thinking the men who vote will get the same offer from HisRoom.com&#8230;.?)  One reason I think this voting is awesome in general is that fact that it creates more competition within the &#8220;underwear&#8221; industry so they will strive harder to produce the best and most comfortable underwear for us all!</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seemed like this year&#8217;s <strong>Academy Awards</strong> was more appreciated due to the word that it may not go on because of the writer&#8217;s strike. Even though the weather was not favorable, the women of Hollywood still looked stunning as usual. Well&#8230;.almost all of them. <strong>Here are some of my favorite ladies in their gowns last night</strong>:</p>
<p><img align="absMiddle" width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/amy_adams.jpg" alt="Amy Adams" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Amy Adams</strong> looked beautiful in her emerald colored gown that complimented here beautiful red hair. I love her interesting &amp; unique gold purse! It has a cool shape &amp; is very vintage looking.</p>
<p><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Laura%20Linney.jpg" alt="Laura Linney" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Laura Linney</strong> wore a lovely black classic dress, but what made the outfit was her beautiful jewelry.</p>
<p><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Keri%20Russel.jpg" alt="Kei Russel" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Keri Russell</strong> always looks put together even with her wild curly hair, which was pulled back nicely so we could pay attention to her stunning gown.</p>
<p><strong><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Jessica%20Alba.jpg" alt="Jessica Alba" height="400" /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Jessica Alba</strong> wore an eggplant colored dress which was loose fitting in the middle to leave room for her baby bump.</p>
<p><strong><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Diablo%20Cody.jpg" alt="Diablo Cody" height="400" /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Diablo Cody</strong> looked unique in her leopard patterned gown. I like that she didn&#8217;t try to conform &amp; wear a typical gown. That just isn&#8217;t her. She makes it work &amp; was glowing on the red carpet.</p>
<p><strong><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Marion%20Cotillard.jpg" alt="Marion Cotillard" height="400" /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Marion Cotillard</strong> is no doubt gorgeous. I loved the top of her dress, but while looking at the entire dress I just kept thinking of <strong>&#8220;The Little Mermaid.&#8221;</strong> It looked more like a costume than a formal gown.</p>
<p><strong><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Cameron%20Diaz.jpg" alt="Cameron Diaz" height="400" /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cameron Diaz&#8217;s </strong>dress was gorgeous, but her hair didn&#8217;t compliment the style of her dress. Her hair style looked like she was taking a trip to the beach rather than an awards show.</p>
<p><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Katherine%20Heigl.jpg" alt="Katherine Heigl" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Katherine Heigl</strong> looked stunning as always. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen her looking sub-par.</p>
<p><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Ellen%20Page.jpg" alt="Ellen Page" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Ellen Page</strong> actually looked like her character Juno attended the Academy Awards mainly because of her her hair style, but she looked cute nonetheless. I do wish she would have worn something a bit more sassy. <img src='http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img width="300" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Miley%20Cyrus.jpg" alt="Miley Cyrus" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Miley Cyrus</strong> wore a red gown which was very appropriate for her age, but she looked like she was trying to be older &amp; sexy while posing on the red carpet as she puckered her lips to the cameras.</p>
<p>And, here&#8217;s a treat for all you ladies&#8230;<strong>my favorite men from last night looking handsome in their tuxedos</strong>:</p>
<p><img align="absMiddle" width="232" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Patrick%20Dempsey.jpg" alt="Patrick Dempsey" height="380" /><img width="232" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/George%20Clooney.jpg" alt="George Clooney" height="380" /></p>
<p><strong>Patrick Dempsey</strong> &amp;<strong> George Clooney</strong> with their LUCKY ladies. Fine wine&#8230;FINE wine.</p>
<p><img width="232" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Sean%20P%20Diddy%20Combs.jpg" alt="Sean P Diddy Combs" height="380" /><img align="absMiddle" width="232" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Johnny%20Dep.jpg" alt="Johnny Dep" height="380" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t always like <strong>Sean &#8216;P. Diddy&#8217; Combs</strong> as a person, but musically &amp; fashion-wise he always comes through. <strong>Johnny Depp</strong> always looked sexy &amp; mysterious.</p>
<p><img width="232" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Jason%20Baitmen.jpg" alt="Jason Batmen" height="380" /><img width="232" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Steve%20Carrell.jpg" alt="Steve Carrel" height="380" /></p>
<p><strong>Jason Bateman</strong> &amp; <strong>Steve Carell</strong> are two of my favorite men. They looked great.</p>
<p>Oh..and all their ladies looked nice too. <img src='http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t understand the allure of the Dempsey.  In truth, he&#8217;ll always just be <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092718/">Ronald Miller</a> to me.</p>

<p><strong>Online shopping has really improved my outlook on the holidays. </strong> Remember when you used to have to go to the mall and fight your way through the crowds to find something for everyone on your list? Well, who needs that?  Now, my shopping takes a few hours instead of days&#8230;and nobody gets hurt.</p>
<p>This year, one of my fave sites to make everybody I know squeal with delight is <a href="http://www.80stees.com">80sTees.com</a>.  They have lots and lots of funny and cute shirts&#8211;it&#8217;s one of those something-to-please-everyone places.  I mean, where else can you nab an &#8220;I Heart Jake Ryan&#8221; or a Monchhichi shirt? They also have fun 80s and non-80s movie, cartoon, tv shows, superheroes, and brand icon tees.  I think I might need the &#8220;Flux Capacitor&#8221; shirt to wear with my orange puffer vest. Ah, the irony.</p>
<p>They also carry sizes from small to 3XL, which is good because my family and friends come in all shapes and sizes.  Here are some of my top picks (they all range between $20-25):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.80stees.com/products/Top_Gun_Maverick_t-shirt.asp"><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/80stees-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.80stees.com/products/Baby-In-A-Corner-Dirty-Dancing-T-shirt.asp"><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/80stees-2.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.80stees.com/products/The-Office-Dunder-Paper-T-shirt.asp"><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/80stees-3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>And for me, you ask?  Well, I&#8217;ll be grabbing this &#8220;FRA-GEE-LAY&#8221; ornament for myself:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.80stees.com/products/Christmas-Story-Leg-Lamp-Ornament.asp"><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/leglamp.jpg" /></a> At $8.00 bucks, it&#8217;s a scandalous steal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right, I&#8217;m back again. I&#8217;m back with more hot celebrity men looking their finest.</p>
<p>I felt a little bad for just lumping the three hot men from <em>Oceans 13</em> in one picture at the end of <em><a href="http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/2007/08/21/hot-celebrity-men-in-fashion-first-edition/">Hot Celebrity Men in Fashion: First Edition</a></em>, not displaying their hotness individually, and not giving them praise to their full potential. So, I&#8217;ve found my favorite pictures on the web of Brad Pitt and Matt Damon looking stylish (Clooney will be in the next edition).</p>
<p>Brad Pitt: He is so good looking. The whole package is great. He has not received very much, but no bad press can down play his looks and charm. This picture, on the left, is an older picture of Brad. On the right, a picture of him at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival looking fresh and ready for summer in his light gray jacket.</p>
<p><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Brad1.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Brad3.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p>                                                     <a href="http://starpulse.com">Images: StarPulse.com</a></p>
<p>Matt Damon: I meet him before. <img src='http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <em>Yes</em>, I&#8217;m <em>bragging</em>, and so would you! He was the nicest and most down to earth guy. He was dressed in a HUGE black jacket with a beenie on his head. I think he was trying to look incognito, but low and behold, my friend spotted him. He was standing right behind me in line at Starbucks in Greenwich Village, NY. I didn&#8217;t even feel his &#8220;hotness vibes&#8221;. Shame on me. After he talked to us, I swear we were on cloud nine the rest of the day. Ah, memories. </p>
<p> <img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/mattdamon_narrowweb__300x464,2.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Matt2.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p>                                      Images: <a href="http://smh.com.au">smh.com.au</a> and <a href="http://starpulse.com">StarPulse.com</a></p>
<p>Jaime Fox hasn&#8217;t been in the spotlight too much these days.  However, he has always shown is great sense of style on the red carpet.  (Yes, I know, maybe it&#8217;s his <em>stylist </em>style and not neccessarily his syle, but, the point is that he rocks whatever he wears.)</p>
<p><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Jaime1.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Jaime2.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p><em>                               Images:  </em><a href="http://cdn.hfpa.org"><em>cdn.hfpa.org</em></a><em> and </em><a href="http://eur.i1.yimg.com"><em>eur.i1.yimg.com</em></a></p>
<p>Last, we have Ryan Reynolds:  he is <em>so </em>hot.  I&#8217;d rather he just wear blazers or jackets with no under shirts so he can show off his fantastic abs.  ;)  God bless him.  But, since he <em>must </em>cover up, he looks great in these two pictures below with his unbuttoned collared shirts showing a <em>little </em>skin. </p>
<p><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Ryan3.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Ryan1.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p>                        Images:  <a href="http://starpulse.com">StarPulse.com </a> and <a href="http://imstars.aufeminin.com">imstars.aufeminin.com</a></p>
<p>Ah, the older a man gets the hotter he looks. The more us women age, the lower we sag. So tragic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Ok, ladies.  Here is a special treat just for you on this fine Tuesday afternoon.  Our fashionista, Valentina, is under the weather today so I&#8217;ve taken over (Haha.  j/k, Val). </p>
<p>I give you:  Hot Celebrity Men in Fashion.  Do you sometimes look at a hot celebrity man, and while gushing over him for obvious reasons, (nice body, great hair, nice smile with perfect teeth, nice personality) also, realize that you wish <em>your</em> man would dress this way?  I&#8217;m sure you have.  Some men have issues about looking too &#8220;metrosexual&#8221; and are afraid to explore new styles that will compliment their features or good assests.  So, until you convince your man to dress &#8220;better&#8221;, here are my favorite celebrity men looking fine in their &#8220;metrosexual&#8221; clothes.</p>
<p>Jeremy Piven:  On the left, if you watch <em><a href="http://www.smarter.com/entourage_the_complete_second_season---pd--ch-4--pi-243138.html">Entourage</a></em> you know that he is always looking sharp ready to represent Vinny Chase as Ari.  He is always ready for the red carpet (kind of making a Zoolander pose here, on the right).</p>
<p><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/293_piven_jeremy_101006.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Jeremy2.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p>                                    Images: <a href="http://eonline.com">EOnline.com</a> and <a href="http://newsday.com">NewsDay.com</a></p>
<p>David Beckham:  Always looks good.  Any crazy hairstyle, any style clothes, wearing <em>no</em> clothes. :)  His &#8220;ugly faces&#8221; are even cute.  The picture on the left was taken when he was out and about with Posh.  Super casual and super cute.  On the right, another picture with Posh where he is wearing an unbuttoned collared shirt with rosaries around his neck.  Normally, when anyone wears a rosary around their neck, I feel like it might somehow be sacrilegious.  But on Becks, I say, &#8220;<span>Hallelujah</span>&#8221; and &#8220;AMEN&#8221; to that.</p>
<p><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/beckham_in_nice_0.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Beckham3.jpg" height="465" /> </p>
<p>                                 Images: <a href="http://blogs.smarter.com/fashion/wp-admin/FrostFirePulse.com">FrostFirePulse.com </a>and <a href="http://techlogs.net">Techlogs.net</a></p>
<p>Now, lately I&#8217;ve had some mixed feelings about him, but Kanye West is always clean cut and well dressed.  He can even rock pinks and purples which most guys do not have the guts to even <em>try</em>.  On the left, I can really do without the chest chair, but the white jacket looks great on his skin tone.  On the left, performing with a light colored suit with a red scarf and handkerchief which styles it up a bit.</p>
<p> <img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/aa19408290324.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/060206_kanye_vmed_1p_widec.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p>                                                       Images: <a href="http://music.msn.com">MSN.com</a></p>
<p>Justin Timberlake:  Duh.  He is known for being a pretty boy and looks pretty darn good everywhere he goes.  He always looks like he is going to a photo shoot for GQ Magazine.  One the left, at the 2006 MTV VMAs with his vest and tie.  One the right, performing at the 2006 MTV VMAs.</p>
<p><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/t1.jpg" height="465" /><img width="284" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/25157925.jpg" height="465" /></p>
<p>                               Images:  <a href="http://tittertatter.com">Tittertatter.com</a> and <a href="http://newsday.com">NewsDay.com</a></p>
<p>Last, I give you a picture of the men of Oceans 11, 12, 13 (how ever many there are now).  Basically, men, if you can try to look like one of these guys, that would be great.</p>
<p><img width="500" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/oceans13.jpg" height="350" /></p>
<p>                                        Image:  <a href="http://movieweb.com">MovieWeb.com</a></p>
<p>So, men, I say to you:  You love when we get all dolled up with our high heels and make up,  so once in a while it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to attempt to be stylish.  Trust me,  your lady will thank you for it.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a great cause, of course, but designer Blake Mycoskie has aimed to create a shoe with lasting appeal, which is why TOMS come in lots of fun, punchy colors. <strong>And the recycled-rubber soles also sturdy as heck</strong>.  Celebs like Keira Knightly and Sienna Miller can&#8217;t get enough of them.</p>

<p>From what I gather, the Japanese company that makes these wacky sweatshirts was founded by an artist named Nigo in the early 90s.
