LARGE CELEBRITY FRAMES - BIG SUNGLASSES WORN BY MOVIE STARS

"Have you seen those big sunglasses that everybody’s wearing?" I suppose each generation thinks they are the first to sport lenses that are so huge they could almost be called windshields or sunscreens instead of glasses. However, even I have to say that we haven’t seen designer shades this big in quite a few years.

Some fashion columns are making the statement that Jackie Kennedy Onassis was the last diva that wore glasses this large. She might have been the last super sophisticated lady that wore them, but the fashion has never really gone away. There are always those who feel more chic with their eyes and therefore their emotions shaded in mystery.

Jackie O was just one famous face that I can remember taking measure of the world from behind smoked glass lenses. There have been many who considered this a look worth pursuing such as Janis Joplin, Yoko Ono and others who were known to have classic beauty that didn’t need camouflage of any kind.

Speaking of camo, shades with saucer sized frames have long been the veil that hid the black eyes carried by the victims of abuse. Women that didn’t trust makeup to cover their shiners had little choice; style was not a consideration. For others, the decision to wear these monstrously large sunglasses is a daring fashion statement.

There are a few rules on how to choose the size and shape of your glasses if you want them to be large, but in charge.

• Never pick a frame that’s wider than your face or that is bounced up by your cheek when you smile
  
• Pick a shape that is in direct contrast to the shape of your face. Example: If your face is round as a full moon, try on some square or octangular frames
• Accept the fact that big sunglasses are not for everyone. Don’t be a slave to fashion to the point that you are running around looking like a child that’s stolen her mom’s glasses. It would be best to pick smaller sizes of the hot shapes and styles than to completely overpower a petite face with big sunglasses

LA LA LOUIS VUITTON FALL 2008

The spring flowers are not ready to peek through the ice and snow, but here we are fast forwarding to Fall 2008 runway fashions with the Louis Vuitton show.

Marc Jacobs is such a hottie that it's hard for a girl to keep her eyes glued to the models, but my efforts paid off as I spotted a wild pair of very high heel red wedges in what may or may not have been an exotic skin. The pattern on the shoes resembled eel skin, and I'm not even certain if they were Marc Jacobs shoes. They were quite a pair with a pale dusty blue color which was an unexpected but wild combination as stated by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Wedge heels and platforms seem to be the style that's coming our way. Not surprisingly, Marc Jacobs designed some classic styles that we saw a few decades ago being worn with platforms and wedge heels in a very interesting and modern style. Long jackets were given a very chic, French feel with crisp lines. The collars were what made a profound statement; very interesting flares and drape.

Get ready to slick your hair back into an upswept chignon or a tight bun. No need for elaborate hairstyles when fashions can do all the talking.

HOW TO APPLY EYELINER like AMY WINEHOUSE

Whenever a celebrity breaks out with bold, black eye makeup we are hit with loads of questions on how to apply eyeliner. The average lady might not want to wear such dramatic black eyeliner during the day or for that matter; every evening. But the principals of applying eyeliner are basically the same no matter whether you prefer wide eyeliner designs, smudged lines or a thin almost invisible look.

Many instructional videos are filled with helpful tips and techniques including more dramatic styles such as is preferred by many movie stars to highlight their eyes when on the stage as well as singing or rock stars like Amy Winehouse.

The use of eyeliner is not limited to girls, some male stars like the look of heavy black eyeliner on the top lid as well as under their bottom lashes. There may be as many men or more buying instructions on how to apply eyeliner as most moms don't think that their parenting duties extend to giving their boys lessons on the art of makeup application.

AMERICAN IDOL'S JASON CASTRO - DREDS or DREADS

When I quiz my friends on their opinions of the outfits, makeup and hairstyles of the previous night's American Idol episode, we usually agree on the winners and losers of the evening. Today was unusual in that on the issue of Jason Castro's dreadlock hairstyle the votes were split pretty much down the center.

Some of the girls who are much more trendy that I could ever dream to be and whom I expected to consider the appearance of dreds to be cutting edge and stylish were surprisingly opposed to this cute guy's fashion statement. One gal pal said if he'd cut the hair that he'd be her favorite hands down, and another said she'd rather see the return of the huge 70s style afro rather than Marley dreds.

Some of my more conservative (unofficial of course)voters who are sticklers for classic haircuts and tradition shocked me by slobbering all over themselves over the dreadlocks. Well, maybe not the dreadlocks themselves, but the handsome guy with the guitar who just happened to have them attached to his head.

No matter how you feel about his hairstyle, Jason Casto has charisma. He might not be as strong a singer as David Archuleta, but there's no denying that Jason has star appeal much the same as a young Bob Dylan. I know that Simon and Randy wanted to hear more vocals and less strumming, but I think the audience was loving the whole package...dreds and all.

IF "BITCH" IS THE NEW BLACK WILL EVERYBODY BE WEARING PANTSUITS?

Can Hillary Clinton possibly appreciate all the "Bitch is the New Black" jokes going around? Does she even know that the statements are directed at her and depicting her as a power hungry, ball busting masculine sort of femme fatale in a designer skirt or pantsuit. Does she really care?

Probably not! She has not become so well positioned politically by being thin skinned and sweating the small stuff. If she will focus on the big picture of building this country back to the level of greatness in the world that it once enjoyed the same way she has tunnel visioned her way into the political spotlight....hang on people we're going up like a rocket.

But then again, this blog is not about the political arena. Leave running the country to experts. I have had ever so much fun observing Hillary's fashion metamorphosis over the years. Remember how people criticized the large blue hat that she wore so long ago for hubby's swearing in? Then people began harping on the pantsuits and what that might be telling us about the hierarchy of the Clinton household post Monica.

I couldn't help but notice that once Ms Clinton became a senator, her grooming seemed to suffer. One might hope that she had bigger fish to fry than spending time perfecting her hairstyle and practicing eye makeup tips. I hope that Hillary has a plan in place for all of her campaign promises and that she hires a really great personal shopper.

TIPPI HEDREN's French Twist Hairstyle - Star of Hitchcock's THE BIRDS Blonde Formal Updo

Few movie stars wear the updo as well as Tippi Hedren and a few other celebrities from the early 60s. Those were the days when people dressed up to go to the laundry. A trip to the grocery store was deserving of fresh lipstick and updo hairstyles. The French Twist hairstyle that she had when she starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds movie should be studied carefully by hairstylists of today who need French twist instructions. All artists should practice and perfect this style because it is a classic and there will always be a special occasion that calls for it. Wherever there is a red carpet, there will be French Twists and updos. Celebrity hairstyles may be tweaked and updated, but the basics are the same.

I'm not fond of the "wings" that stylists of the 50s and 60s put on each side of the starlet's foreheads, but the elegant view of the updo from the rear was nearly always flawless.

Curly as well as smooth upswept hairdos were very popular with platinum blond bombshells that often used clear combs to catch stray curls. Brown eyed brunettes were said to be poisoned with green eyed envy that black hair updos just didn't look half as sexy as their blonde counterparts.

There was no way for black hair to show the movement of the hairstyle until some raven haired beauty got wise and thought of frosting and streaking the dark hair to show off the artistry of her favorite beautician.

FORMAL EYE MAKEUP TIPS from TAYLOR SWIFT'S TEARS ON MY GUITAR VIDEO

Taylor Swift's eyes looked fabulous in the Tears on My Guitar music video. The appearance was very formal but almost gothic with the wayt that the liner was drawn. I knew that we needed some ideas and pointers, but I didn't have a clue on where to find resources and instructions for individual stars makeup colors. Then I found this free video giving eye make up tips so that our eyes can be just as pretty as Taylor Swift's!

The makeup artist appears to have hazel green cat eyes and the smokey, dramatic eye makeup simply looks stunning on her. Plus, she makes it look so darn easy! One of the tricks that I see her use that I've simply got to put into place is that she doesn't dab around with small brushes; she has giant fine, hair brushes and she isn't afraid to use them. The results look very professional, seamless and smooth.

ARE WE READY FOR GUCCI FALL 2008?

This video gives us a preview of what's going on in the world of Gucci. The discussion draws lots of discussion to Anita Pallenberg. Her large smokey eyes gives the rock and roll chick a fabulous, timeless look harking to days gone by and yet she looks stunningly cutting edge and modern. It's messy, unkempt in a difficult to achieve fashion. Eyes that took hours to design and perfect, but that have been out clubbing.

The long red hairstyle and fringed leather takes us back to the boho days of the late 60s or early 70s patchwork fashions. The commentators are throwing out names like Marianne Faithful and I'm reeling from the long, loose hairstyles that the models are sporting! You almost expect Grace Slick followed by the ghost of Janice Joplin to come sliding down the catwalk!

Is Natasha Sizow Bisexual?

From the news we read that there's a new student/teacher scandal. Why on earth would Natasha Sizow, a teacher, send photos of herself naked or nearly naked to both boy students as well as girl students? Is she mixed up about her sexuality or is she bisexual or does she believe in equal opportunity corruption of kids? I'm not sure what this latest sexual scandal is supposed to tell us.

Natasha Sizow allegedly used her cellphone's camera to take sexy, semi-nude or pics of herself in various stages of undress to two students who have been rumored to be both male and female. She has been reported to have turned herself into the authorities and has been booked with mugshots of her in this video.

What are the parents going to do about nasty teachers? Does anybody feel that the profession of teaching has become the goal of the sexually deviant because of opportunities to interact with teens and preteens? Are we turning our kids educations over to people who are deranged and thinking that they are still in high school?

How do you feel about this? Is it a teenage boys fantasy come true or a parent's nightmare?
