Romo No-No

Ms.Informed — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:50:44 +0000

Allegedly, Jessica Simp’s current beau Tony Romo not only cheated on the pop star (and I use that term loosely) — but in her own bed! While Simpson was out of town, Romo invited people back to her house and then disappeared upstairs with a “stunning brunette” for the rest of the evening.

This news broke days after Simpson was critcized for packing on some el bees when she was seen at a Chili cook-off last weekend. A line of celebs have come to Simpson’s defense since then, including her sister Ashlee, Heidi Klum and….Kim Kardashion….a stunning…brunette…

Coincidence? Probably, lol.

Now, if she’s fat, what does that mean for the rest of us women? Although, sporting those mom-jeans was definitely a fashion faux-pau if I ever saw one.

The Wonders of PhotoShop

There’s no denying that David Beckham’s Emporio Armani underwear campaign that dropped this week is anything less than magnificent, but the Daily Mail among other sources are saying Becks had a little…”help” in some…”areas.” I guess Vicki B. can be the judge of that one. But for Becks’ sake, let’s remember that great things sometimes come in small packages.

(click for bigger images…no pun intended.)

And on this side of the pond, it was PhotoShop to the rescue again — but this time it was Justin Timberlake, and there was no super-sizing necessary. JT’s package had to be digitally altered for Mike Myer’s new flick “The Love Guru” because it was TOO BIG. Apparently bigger isn’t always better.

PSA from Ms. Informed

The dress, the shoes, the hair, the date, the limos…it’s PROM season.
And that got Ms. Informed thinking. I have 3 BEAUTIFUL prom dresses in my closet from my junior prom, my senior prom and a friend’s senior prom. Just hanging there. Collecting dust.
As much as I would love to say I still fit into them, I was about half my current size in highschool (oh to be young again), and will more than likely never wear those dresses again. So what do I do? Throw them out? Seems like such a waste.
I was trying to figure out what to do with these dresses when this morning on z100, Carolina Bermudez showcased an organization called BECCA’S CLOSET on her “ Rage Page.”

This organization and other like it accept your donated dresses and provide them to underpriviledged girls can go to THEIR proms.

Becca’s Closet has multiple locations in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

About a million other organizations like Becca’s Closet exist too, including The Princess Project, The Glass Slipper Project, Fairy Godmothers, Inc. (are we noticing a trend here?), and Catherine’s Closet, — just to name a few. Or you can google “donate prom dress” and your home state to find more locations and organizations near you!

‘07 Leaves Vicki B. Not So Posh

Ms.Informed — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:04:01 +0000

Victoria Beckham is one Spice that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, as far as her fashion sense that is. The anything-but-Posh superstar ranked #1 on Mr. Blackwell’s list of 2007’s top ten fashion victims. Beckham also made the list in 1998, at the height of the Spice Girls’ success.

Good thing she has that super-hott husband to make up for her bad taste!

The list in its entirety includes:

1. Victoria Beckham

2. Amy Winehouse

3. Mary Kate Olsen

4. Fergie

5. Kelly Clarkson

6. Eva Green

7. Avril Lavigne

8. Jessica Simpson

9. Lindsay Lohan

10. Alison Arngrim
