Thanks a lot, Piperlime. Boo.

Buzz... MAC Holiday 2008

mmm... scrumptious! The most delectable of holiday treats.

Buzz... Rachael Yamagata

Rachael... according to Rolling Stone (check out the videos at the bottom to see my friend, Matthew (blond, glasses), in the studio with her playing a variety of instruments.

I met Rachael earlier this year, and she loved my ensemble (white faux fur jacket, frilly green dress, silver sequin wedges) which is why she deserves props up on here. Plus, if you open any magazine these days, there's an article on her in it somewhere.

Also, Matthew just visited and he is the engineer on the album, so shameless plug for him as well...

putting the TREAT in treatment

After you get out of a week of intensive inpatient eating disorder treatment, you have to treat yourself. My choices? See below.

Is this the hot new way to prevent bike theft in Albany?

Buzz... Katie Holmes

OK, so she's married to Tom Cruise, and was on Dawson's Creek... but whatever- she's a crusader for the Short Hair Revolution and wide-leg jeans.

Buzz... Lip Laquer to Love

Though I'm not in love with the texture, I am obsessed with these colors.

Economy-friendly Foundation

I've spent many years and many paychecks on my search for the perfect foundation. Like many of us, duped by glossy advertisements (Chanel is my personal Achilles' Heel), I would flip through the pages of Vogue, dog-earring, note-taking... before finally springing into action and purchasing whatever product had so captured my attention.

The financially sound solution? Revlon ColorStay Makeup (Paula, author of, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, agrees). There are lines for both combination/oily and normal/dry skin. And what's more? It comes complete with SPF. $12.99 at drug stores, $10.39 at Target.

Note: I cannot vouch for any other Revlon product.
