Going Naked for Harper's BAZAAR!


Photoshop and make-up free is the way to go these days.

The May issue of Harper's BAZAAR features Kim Kardashian giving "The Naked Truth" about embracing your curves. This is awesome that celebrities are finally showing that beauty has flaws and can be bigger than a size 0.

Joy Bryant is also appearing nude in the spread.

The photos were taken by Amanda de Cadenet and none of the shots are said to be retouched.

What is your opinion on magazine's going photoshop free?

Fashion for Haiti Brings in the Big Bucks


We all know of the Fashion for Haiti t-shirts that went on sale during NY's Fashion Week to raise money for the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

Well the money added up very quickly, since the shirts sale for only $25. Diane von Furstenberg along with Tory Burch and Andrew Rosen (CEO of Theory) presented Bill Clinton with a $1 Million check from the proceeds of the t-shirts.

The proceeds will go toward helping rebuild Haiti.

Kudos to the Fashion Industry!!!

You can still purchase this shirt online and at many in-store retailers. KEEP DONATING!!!!
