Linda Evangelista Available says Page Six....



Supermodel Linda Evangelista has split with billionaire Hard Rock founder Peter Morton, sources tell Page Six.

The Canadian beauty, 45 -- who famously once declared that she and other supermodels "don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day" -- and Morton, 64, broke up at the end of the summer after a series of disagreements, we're told.

One family source said, "Peter is very settled in Malibu and loves LA, while Linda liked to spend time in Canada and with her friends in New York. Like all supermodels, she is high-maintenance and likes to be treated like a princess." Who doesn't?!

Tensions run high during L'Oreal commercial filming.......


Julianna Margulies


Rachel Weisz

"The trouble started Saturday morning when CBS star Margulies, who was named L'Oreal's brand ambassador last month, arrived to do a TV commercial at Studio 59, the photography and film studio next to Pier 59 on the West Side Highway.

After arriving on time, Margulies was forced to cool her heels for over two hours because Weisz's shoot was in progress but behind schedule. One source close to L'Oreal says the plan called for Weisz and Margulies to rotate through the makeup and production process in short order."

Someone should have known not to book two major stars on the same day!
But my guess is it was the only time they could coordinate both of the actresses busy schedules. Oh well, these things happen and I'm sure both diva's acted like the professionals they are and got their jobs done beautifully.

GaGa's Got A Cute Butt........


Lady Gaga took the stage with Yoko Ono on Saturday night, and the pop star gave the crowd much more to admire than the duo's famous faces.

VIKTOR&ROLF S/S 2011


Just a fresh face with a clear orange lip tells the makeup story for design duo Viktor and Rolf for next Spring/Summer. Simply smashing!

"Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren looked into shirts for Spring, manipulating it into many different versions – playing with proportions and adding in details like feather and lace. There is even a set of bridal wear in the finale shirt-style. Although the more exaggerated looks are not ready-to-wear, they certainly set a vision which tells the rest of the story and the simpler pieces are lust worthy as well. It is shows like Viktor & Rolf that truely puts Paris Fashion Week as one of the most artistic, creative and daring in fashion." www.RocktheTrend.com

Ain't Love Grand.......?



MIDDLETOWN, Conn. -- And they were happily ever married.

Supermodel Stephanie Seymour and her polo-playing husband made a shocking announcement this morning, calling off their bitter divorce and telling a Connecticut judge that they plan to stay married.

Seymour and her billionaire, paper-magnate husband Peter Brant walked into Middletown Superior Court hand-in-hand, much to the amazement of reporters, before facing a judge.

Instead of the start of a bitter divorce battle, the couple said they had called off the divorce and planned to stay together. Lovely.

Brant is a businessman and polo pony breeder. He tried hard to get custody of his child, claiming his ex-wife is addicted to drugs and alcohol and has repeatedly betrayed the urine tests to hide it. He also claimed his wife’s shopping habit costs $ 257,000 per month.

BLACK VELVET COLLECTION BY BOBBI BROWN


“Yes, sooty lids and goth lips look great on the runway—but how do you make them work for real life? By infusing plum, cherry and maple tones with black and giving them a translucent texture, I created shades that are strong, powerful and a little shocking—but also wearable and sophisticated.” – Bobbi Brown

My Makeup Design for Nico&Adrian Spring 2011


MEAT LADY GAGA


Posing on the September cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, the boundary-pushing singer wears nothing but pieces of raw meat strung together to create a dress-like design. The only thing redder than her shocking look is the color of her lipstick.

Gaga Goes Guy


MAN OF THE HOUR: Lady Gaga is flexing her gender-bending muscles in the upcoming issue of Vogue Hommes Japan, which hits stands next month. The pop star graces the cover of the magazine as “Jo Calderone”- a Sicilian mechanic who favors grease-stained t-shirts and cigarettes tucked behind the ear. Images of the Nick Knight Calderone shoot made the Internet rounds months ago, prompting plenty of speculation that it was really Gaga in disguise with a 1950s-style pompadour. Stylist Nicola Formichetti reignited the buzz Wednesday when he posted a few of the black and white images as mockup covers on his blog along with a brief q and a with the pop star in character. “I'd love to own my own car shop, I have a bunch of my own ‘muscle’ cars,” quipped Calderone.

August 25, 2010

Last night was just too amazing.....there were three events one after the other.

First was the premiere social party for MAKE UP FOREVER, for professional makeup artists only. They were promoting their latest range of lipsticks called ROUGE ARTIST INTENSE, which are amazing......50 highly pigmented shades (my favorite was a violet color #15 which I think I will use in my makeup design for one of the fashion shows coming up for Spring 2011) which were truly divine. The event was held at their charming little boutique on E.12 St. just off Fifth Ave.and the place was packed with so many beautiful artists trying out all the fabulous colors. Michael DeVilles of THE POWDER GROUP invited me and didn't he look dashing in his new black and silver facial hair.


I was featuring a new look myself having recently tinted my hair a lavender silver shade. I wore a deep silver gray silk suit with a matching gray vest embroidered with purple flowers and a cravat of iridescent violet. Hmmmmm there's something about that color.....can you tell? It must be in the air, along with the rain that night.


I couldn't stay very long though as the humidity was so intense plus I needed to get to the Leslie-Lohman gallery in Soho to attend photographer MIKE RUIZ photo exhibit "TRANSFORMATIONS". The camera crews and paparazzi were in full force as I arrived interviewing Mr.Ruiz in front of giant blowups like the beauty shot above. Mike is still the most handsome guy in town and so talented. But again the heat and humidity was so overwhelming from the lovely crowd of fashionistas I was forced back outside to find some cool air.

Just in time to give a kiss to 60s Icon Linda Morand of THE SUPER MODELS HALL OF FAME before jumping into a taxi to go off to Amanda Lepore's after party at the nightclub Carnival in the "BIG TOP" room which was over flowing with freaks, geeks, and Go-Go boys all to celebrate Mike Ruiz triumphant showing.

Finally after shaking my bootay to the retro disco hits it was time for me to go-go home.
