Fashion Talk

"Amazing!" With a gasp of approval, Tilda Swinton places her delicate hands on Ihe Chanel gold feather neckpiece that will eventually adorn her perfectly proportioned, alabaster frame at the BlnckBook cover shoot. "It's very regal." she proclaims. "1 just love it."

Avant-garde goddess. An icon of indie cinema. To some, the most beautiful woman on the planet. And, on this morning in Paris, fashion model. Just in from Milan, where she's currently shooting the romantic drama to sono lainore, Swinton is exhausted from a late night of filming, but quickly becomes energized by the array of colors, cuts and styles of the fashion choices before her. Slowly examining racks of clothes that have been assembled for her 5'11" frame and her own exacting aesthetic by her longtime stylist Jerry Stafford, she focuses on metallics. such as a black pleated Alberta l:erretti gown with gold medallions affixed to its three-quarters cap sleeves. "It feels like a piece of nomadic tribal wear," she offers, before stepping in front of the camera.

Its a 10-hour day. far longer than most celebrity shoots. Swinton is dedicating her considerable creative energies to this project and wants to get il right. 'Ihe photographer's suggestion that she relax and play around with the back of her skirt causes a Heeling moment ol Iriction. "This is relaxed for me," she offers, posturing steady-on. "All the girly stuff is not relaxed for me. It's hard work." Seeing images of herself.

transmitting unruffled strength on the digital monitor, she comments, "'that I can do. I can give you that. It's all that girly stuff 1 can't do." Similarly, when the photographer says she looks a bit too much like a boy in one of the pictures, several hours into the shoot, she leans in and, as if letting him in on a secret, stage whispers: "That's kind of who I am."

The anecdote still tickles her the next morning when we meet for breakfast at the Hotel Lotti, a few minutes stroll away from the Louvre. Wearing a jersey by Martin Margiela and Ihe same turquoise skirl by Yves Saint Laurent that she had on the prior day (all Ihe better to travel light), Swinton comes across as being at ease in her own skin and with her looks, an impression that she's quick to clarify. "Comfortable is not the way I would put il. Resigned is probably the right word." she says, pouring packet after packet of sugar into her coffee. "A minimal amount of experimentation wenl on in my teenage years. There was only so much 1 could do with the way 1 look. I was never big into wearing mascara or blue eyeliner. It's very easy for me to look like a Goth, where very little goes a very long way. It feels more natural for me to wear a tux than a ball gown—lhat is a kind of transvestism for me. 1 never had an aspiration to look like a doll, which is fortunate."

But she did design her own clothes as a teenager growing up in one of the most aristocratic families of Scotland, a heritage she's seemed. Source (Balck Book Magazine)

Fashion Magazines: Are They Worth the Buy?

Are you looking to improve your appearance or at least your sense of fashion? If you are, there is a good chance that you may be interested in buying fashion magazines. Fashion magazines are often stocked full of beauty tips, as well as fashion advice and tips. That why a large number of individuals buy fashion magazines each month, occasionally even on a weekly basis. But, the question is, should you?

When it comes to determining whether or not you should buy fashion magazines, there are a number of important factors that you may want to take into consideration. For instance, are you on a budget? Although fashion magazines are pretty affordable, the cost of them can add up over time. If you are on a budget or regularly find yourself having money troubles, you may want to think about saving your money. In fact, you should know that many of the fashion tips and trends found in well-known fashion magazines are likely to be quite costly; therefore, it can actually end up quite expensive to keep up with the latest fashion trends.

Another important factor that you should take into consideration, when trying to determine whether or not you should buy fashion magazines, is if you have the internet. Do you have internet access? If you do, did you know that you may be able to find a large number of online fashion magazines? What is nice about these online magazines is that the information found in them is often similar to what is found in printed magazines. Also, you should know that most of the information you get is free to access. Some online fashion magazines or websites ask you to pay a small fee, but not always.

Something else that you may want to take into consideration is the type of fashion that you are interested in learning more about. There are all different types of fashions. For instance, there are modern fashion trends, 80s fashion trends, gothic fashion trends, and so forth. Unfortunately, most printed fashion magazines only focus on one or two types of fashions and they are often the ones that are most popular at the moment. If you are looking for fashion tips, advice, and information on trends from other eras, aside from today, you may actually not find what you are looking for in a fashion magazine. To determine if so, you may want to think about at least skimming through a fashion magazine before buying it.

Another one of the many factors that you may want to take into consideration, when trying to determine if fashion magazines are really worth your money is your use of them. While a large number of magazine buyers actually read and sometimes even save the magazines that they buy, others out there just toss their recently purchased magazines aside. As previously mentioned, fashion magazines are actually affordably priced, but the cost of them can add up over time. For that reason, you may want to examine how much use you will get out of the magazine. If you really, truly think that you will use the fashion magazine that you want to purchase then go ahead and buy it. If you are only buying a fashion magazine just because, you may want to rethink your decision to do so. You can save yourself money by finding the same information online.

As you can see, there are a number of factors that you may want to take into consideration before buying a fashion magazine or a collection of them. Fashion magazines are a great way to learn about the latest fashions in today’s society, but there are other, cheaper ways that you can go about doing so as well. As outlined above, you can use the internet to find online fashion magazines or you can actually just turn your television on, as there are a number of popular, informational fashion shows that can be found on the air.

Modern Bedroom Furniture

Glossy Girls

Online fashion magazine won’t just get you looking good. It’ll all put a smile on your face: their catwalk pictures are full-screen, high quality and jam-packed with models.

Bikini Girls' Night Out

Glamorous frocks took a backseat at the Sports Illustrated 2008 Swimwear launch.

Instead, lasses like Bar Rafaeli showed off cleavage, killer pins and pouts galore.

Heck, we reckon there may just be a shortage of lip gloss in the model world now, with all the shiny lip-plumping that went on in front of the camera.

And this wasn't even the real swimwear shoot.

Rather, it was the press conference and party of the Sports Illustrated 2008 swimwear edition in New York City.

The edition features a total of 19 models, with model Marisa Miller adorning the magazine cover, shot in exotic locations ranging from the Cayman and Virgin Islands to Maui.

Reese Witherspoon is the most liked celebs

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Her latest movie "Rendition" flopped at box offices, but fans still love Reese Witherspoon.

The actress proved to be the most-liked celebrity among ten women who regularly found their way onto magazine covers and into gossip columns in 2007, according to a poll on Friday.

For its E-Score Celebrity survey, E-Poll Market Research asked more than 1,100 people ages 13 and older whom they found the most appealing, confident, glamorous, interesting and over-exposed, among other qualities.

Witherspoon, 30, who has been in the spotlight since winning an Oscar for playing country singer June Carter in "Walk the Line," topped the list with a personal appeal rating of 74 percent, followed by former "Friends" TV star Jennifer Aniston at 70 percent.

The Oscar winner has not had any major movie hits since "Walk the Line," but has been the focus of numerous headlines and stories this year due to her divorce from actor Ryan Phillippe and subsequent involvement with Jake Gyllenhaal, her co-star in "Rendition."

That movie, an espionage thriller, has proved to be a major disappointment at box offices taking in only $17 million so far in global ticket sales.

Meanwhile Angelina Jolie, who is now the companion of Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt, was the No. 3 most appealing celebrity at 53 percent.

Actress/singer Jennifer Lopez was behind her with a 52 percent rating, while Katie Holmes followed at 32 percent and behind her was former Spice Girl Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham in the No. 6 position with a rating of 28 percent.

Troubled celebrities of 2007 -- Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears -- who all have battled drug and alcohol abuse and run into legal problems, rounded out the list with Hilton the least-liked.
She had a low 9 percent appeal rating, and was deemed to be the most over-exposed. Only one notch above Hilton was pop singer Spears with 11 percent likeability and a 68 percent over-exposed rating to Hilton's 75 percent.

Gossip Tweens Girl's is very popular

Apparently the biggest following for the new series Gossip Girl isn't the CW network's target audience of 18- to 34-year old women...it's 12- to 17-year-old girls.

According to Media Life Magazine, Gossip Girl "was the top-rated new show among teens 12-17..."

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to know that the show is attracting positive attention, because that makes it all the more likely that the show will be picked up for a second season. But I'm surprised that it's not more popular with people my age (in the 18 to 34 age range). This show is so juicy, and has a lot of adult themes, so why isn't it attracting a more mature crowd?

That being said, I definitely understand why so many young teens would be attracted to it: it's very glamorous, the plot is always thick with emotion (which girls that age are brimming with!), and because it's about adult themes, it feels sophisticated and grown-up to watch. But it now scares me to recall that incredibly explicit (for TV, at least) sex scene from the premiere episode...I can't imagine a young girl watching that!

I wonder if this revelation as far as exactly who is watching will affect the show's writing and/or the show's sex and drug-use themes...

Custom writing services

Writing is one of those careers where you would either make it big or end up in poverty. The difficulties of finding a publisher to print and sell your novel or a magazine to take in your column cannot simply be described. Luckily, this image of a writer may already be a thing of the past, thanks to the recent technological advancements.

The question of the writing services status is rather arguable. It means that on the one hand it is fast and convenient to order custom essay, but on the other hand it prevents students from learning to observe and to make conclusions by themselves. Paying essay writers for using their work and thoughts may lead to learners' disability to establish proper quality of their professional activities in the future. But it helps to save time for more significant subjects and to organize the study process with a great benefit.

As long as writing custom is concerned, it is worth using to receive valuable thoughts on the needed subject and then learner will be able to make a good use of the obtained information. Though, in the majority of cases, students neglect the possibility of rewriting a custom essay and avoiding plagiarism in such way. It is certainly easier, but for the bright students who simply don't have enough ideas on the topic required suggested behavior would be a good approach to studying. Let's support this idea with the example of a position essay.

Custom essay of such type would require careful backing with statistical data, relevant citing etc. Learner can found this evidence by himself or herself, but he or she may be lacking in ability to present arguments to persuade public in favour of the chosen opinion. In this situation custom essay comes in handy, because it shows what the main advantages in the support are. But the position chosen can be different, and learner can disagree with custom writing services. So, another topic for the position essay may emerge.
