red light special


"I like 'em attentive and I like 'em in control"

Girl are you ready to glow in the dark?


A fragrance industry veteran, J.Lo's is releasing her 18th scent since debuting Glow in 2002 - in case you are keeping count.

Glowing, a scent that she describes as an "evolution" of her first fragrance. According to Women's Wear Daily, Glowing is a floral woody amber that has notes of bergamot, mandarin and cypress along with sandalwood, vanilla and cashmere musk, amongst other tantalizing oils.

And what better way to promote the perfume than with a sexy ad. Naturally, Jen strips naked and poses with a... glowing orb thing. No perfume bottle. Just a glowing ring-shaped thing...

The perfume, which comes in a bottle that literally glows, will launch in the United States this May and will be sold exclusively in Kohl's Department Stores.

Dutch Master Mani

Bang! Bang!



Amsterdam-based atelier Ted Noten has designed the "dior 001" gun that is part of a larger new series entitled "7 necessities for a women to feel like a woman through the eyes of a man."

This gun discreetly hides an antique hairpin, lipgloss, medicine (read: pill holder), a USB stick (with 'secret information') and a 100 gram sterling silver bar. Its made from a 3D printed nylon body with 18 carat gold details executed through traditional goldsmithing methods. Solid.

The other products in the "7 necessities" series include sunglasses, a bag, bionic arm piece, shawl and more.

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger....


Red Carpet Manicure is launching their new luxe, limited-edition nail polish, Amor 24, in celebs' Grammy gift bags this weekend.

Red Carpet Manicure has blended fine gold dust with matching pigment into their gel base formula to create a "dripping in gold" look.

The development and production process took three months to get right. Over an ounce of 24K gold dust was used to create the limited-edition polish which will retail for $5,000 a bottle.

While Adele and Lady Gaga are getting the golden treatment in the gifting suite, I'll be at home painting my nails...with polish I bought for $9.99 :)

Darling its better, Down where its wetter



The Katy Perry was transformed into a mermaid for new ad for ghd's Air hairdryer, shot by photographer David LaChapelle.

Ok....stay with me here....why does a mermaid need a HAIR DRYER??? Absurdity aside, I love the photo.

Katy is no stranger to both wacky and glamorous looks and Disney movies so its no shock that is keeping the mermaid costume as an option for next Halloween.

Katy shot the ad back in July when "planking" was still happening and tweeted a photo of herself, planking in full costume. She tweeted, "PROPER planking FTW! #itswhatArielwoulddo."

Imma Merk It

Vajazzling is so 2011... 2012 is all about fox fur and festive feathers????

Former Real Housewife of New York and owner of Completely Bare spas, Cindy Barshop, is hocking fox fur (and neon feather) bikini treatments (merkins) to women in Manhattan.

Spa Week went behind the scenes at Cindy's spa to see just what goes into the new and controversial Foxy Bikini and Carnivale Bikini. Try not to vom :)


After a wax (or a laser treatment), the technician glues the fur or feathers onto your crotch....yep, that's right. After a trim, a few extra touches, and $225, your nether regions become transformed.

Think this sounds fab? Well, PETA doesn't. They’ve already denounced the treatment as frivolous and cruel to animals.

Fresh haircut, clean shave with the razor


Schick's new Hydro Silk razor is blowing my mind...at least as much as a razor possibly can.

Hydro Silk is Schick's first five-bladed razor for women, and each blade is mounted individually for better movement around curvy parts, making it harder to nick your knees and ankles.

I think that coolest part is that the razor fights irritation and dry skin with a water-activated serum that sits in tiny reservoirs. So, you moisturize as you shave. Whoa.

Keep an eye on Hydro Silk's Facebook page, where I heard you can score free samples from time to time.

Fairy Dance Secret Wish Crystal Star Rose Unicorn



The ads for Anna Sui's newest scent Fairy Dance are bursting with pink and peach and sparkles and flowers and, yeah, it's a Barbie wonderland.

Fairy Dance Secret Wish, which will be out in February, contains notes of raspberry, mango and pink pepper, intense rose flowers. The new perfume is part of Sui's "Magic Rose Fairy" campaign, which greets you when you click on the "Fragrance" section of her website with a panflute melody and a fairy icon that flits around following your mouse cursor.
