Britain’s It Rock Star Daughters
When I think about Rock Stars all I see is amazing parties and lots of fun. But have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a rock star’s daughter? America’s version is Nicole Richie and Britain’s versions are the following beauties. Which of Britain’s It Rock Star Daughters is your favorite?
Peaches Geldof is the daughter of British rock star Bob Geldof and British television presenter and writer Paula Yates. Peaches seems to get tons of press in the UK for being a party girl. However, Peaches is not just all about good times. She writes a column for Nylon Magazine. In 2009 Peaches was signed to a six-figure modeling deal to become the face of the Miss Ultimo collection. She is also a DJ and a TV reporter. Peaches reminds me a lot of her mother who has passed away in 2000 with her beauty, charm, and journalism talent. You can even follow Peaches Geldof on Twitter.
Jennifer Lopez’ New Year’s Outfit
Jennifer Lopez showed up in a shimmering body suit to the Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square for News Year’s Eve on Thursday night December 31, 2009. I love her new single “Louboutins,”and I love Jennifer Lopez, but I’m not sure the catsuit was very flattering on JLO’s voluptuous figure. Where is Lady Gaga when we need her? But, it got me writing about it so ‘Jenny from the block’ must be doing something right.
What do you think guys, are you all about Jennifer Lopez’ New Year’s Outfit? Do you love?
FHI Heat Go Styling Irons
I’ve always been a fan of FHI Heat styling tools and have used the FHI Heat Platform SE 1 inch styling iron for a while now. I’m now also very much in love with the new 1 inch Go styling iron by FHI Heat (see image below). How can you not fall in love with it: it’s colorful, fashion-forward, and it gets my hair beautifully straight. Also it’s easily portable in travel bags.
The Go styling irons feature brightly-colored, scratch-resistant, ceramic coated plates covered with a high quantity of tourmaline crystals which results in a large negative ion count. Other features include: a beveled edge for curling, flipping and twisting hair; an extra-long 9-foot swivel cord; gentle far infrared heat and low EMF; and an advanced heater with adjustable temperature control that allows the temperature to range from 140 to 410 degrees F. The Go irons also feature a special dual voltage plug that will allow you to plug the irons into various types of outlets which operate on different voltages. The iron retails for $79.99 and comes in 5 colors: Teal, Red, Pink, Black and Purple.

Jonas Wedding
On December 19, 2009, Kevin Jonas and wife Danielle were married in a lavish ceremony at Oheka Castle in Huntington, NY. For their special day, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas deserved only the absolute best – thus, it made perfect sense for the bride and groom to enlist the help of the beauty experts at nuBest salon and spa in Manhasset, NY.
The renowned Long Island-based beauty destination created the hair and makeup looks for each member of the bridal party. Even the anti-bridezilla, Danielle gave her bridesmaids carte blanche when it came to their wedding day hairstyles. Each bridesmaid had an individual and unique look, but as a group they looked perfectly polished and cohesive.

Eva Mendes ELLE Russia Cover January 2010
Hearing Elle Russia takes me back to the place I was born, the Former Soviet Russian Republic Georgia. I sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if my parents never left Russia. Maybe my name would be something like Marta Shalvovna and not Marta Walsh LOL (which really happens to be my Russian middle name). Enough about me, let’s talk Eva Mendes. Eva is one of my favorite Hollywood beauties. She reminds me of Raquel Welch another natural and classic beauty. The question is: Do YOU love?
