(images from bylaurenluke.com. Palette shown: "My Smokey Classics") Curved Beauty Diva: Lauren Luke So I was traveling into my Local Sephora at the West Farms Mall in CT and stumbled across this beautiful compact that screamed femininity and beauty.

I find a perfectly positioned palette of classic colors for the specific look I choose, "My Smokey Classics. What's so great about this palette vs. all the others lined up in Sephora waiting for me to discover? It is complete. From eyes, to lip, cheeks and a primer. You are equipped with your complete look! For only $32.50 you have now purchased an easy to use, on the go cosmetic palette supplying everything you need to create those classic looks from: Smokey Classics, Luscious Greens, Sultry Blues, Vintage Glams and Fierce Violets.

VANITY FAIR "NEW HOLLYWOOD": FAIR?

Vanity Fair is making a strong statement on what "New Hollywood" is supposed to look like....Apparently we can not praise such talent like Zoe Saldana ( Avatar), Gabourey Sidibe( Precious) or Lea Michele( Glee). Are we forgetting that Hollywood is a mixture of all different ethnicity and silhouettes? Just when you think these young actresses have pathed the road ahead for others, Hollywood slaps you upside the face with reality. The result, Vanity Fairs NEW Hollywood Issue! You be the judge.............

Altering your size

( pictured above: the alteration of a plus size model; Whitney Thompson from Americas Next Top Model real size as a size 2/4 & 6/8) HOW EASY IT IS TO ALTER THE SIZE OF A MODEL!  Dr. Robyn J.A. Silverman, a internationally recognized voice for healthy body image, talks about how easy it is to make a model skinny. In today's world the average fit model is a size 0-4 and a plus size model a size 12-18, sometimes a size 10 is even considered "big." We all know that the average woman is not a size 2! And there is nothing wrong with being a size 2, but If we're going to display "healthy" images to our new generation of woman, why cant we portray an ad that has a size 2 and 12? Is our world ready for the "real" size of a woman, or will we always be stuck on fantasy?

DAKOTA FANNING A CHERRY BOMB?

(photographer:Ture lillegraven Entertainment Weekly/ L'Oreal Paris Lounge Sundance) DAKOTA NAILS CHERRY BOMB AT SUNDANCE This year at the Sundance film festival it was a collection of snow, movies and cherry bombs!! The Runaways, featuring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, portrays the life story of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in the all girl band The Runaways. Both performances deserve applause for there over the top sexual drug infested nature. It is noticeable both Stewart and Fanning transformed themselves into life like icons of Jett and Currie. However, for those of you who have watched Fanning grow up on screen, at times it was a little disturbing watching her youth be distorted by sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. You have to question if there was some debate over her taking this roll? Let's face it going from big screen darling to the girl that is telling you " hello world I am your wild girl" is a rough transition. Yet, looking at it from an artistic stand point, Fanning taking over the roll of Currie was a brave step for someone so wholesome. At the same time, Director Floria Sigismondi knows how to tease her audience just right, not allowing Fanning's character to take it too far, but still lingering in the hot spot of the 70's of promiscuity, narcotics and girl power!

BEYONCE'S NEW FRAGRANCE: HEAT

lady Gaga

LADY GAGA A FASHION ICON OR NIGHTMARE? Ok Curved Beauty Divas, lets talk fashion for a minute! As I was watching the Grammy's last night, there was a world wind of retro 80's futuristic glam going on within some of our leading ladies fashion choices. And than there was GAGA! Lady Gaga has defined her own place in the fashion handbook, as a collaborator of avant garde, extremists, garments you would only find wearing in your nightmares sort of fashion! However, should we applaud her for her out of the norm fashion or run? I have my own opinion, but I want to hear what all of you think first!!!!! I will state this, not only can the girl sing, but any woman who can hold her own on stage next to the Sir. Elton John is awarded with a Curved Beauty Award!!
