Philip Sparks in Forbes – Many people told Philip that they saw it first on I want – I got.

Blog Fight – Carlie Wong decided she just had to tell me how wrong my opinion is on a subjective subject, namely her Spring 2009 collection. Apparently, I should be looking to David Livingston for my fashion choices as he is all knowing. Nothing personal against David but there is only one man I trust with my fashion. However, Carlie’s attack was personal and well you can read it and see how it spiraled.

Ôscillation, Mascara by Lancôme. Thank you, thank you, thank you Adrian for this connection.
