August 27, 2007Dog Days of Summer
I'm not going to lie. I just spent the last hour writing a rather witty synopsis of my hot-and-humid summer beauty finds (I'm not talking about pressed-powder and blotting sheets; I mean the heavy artillery). Since my blogging service provider seems to have consumed the entry whole, leaving no trace but the screams in my head, you will have to take my word, albeit brief, for these winners.

August 20, 2007The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful
On Friday night, I attended Macy's Glamorama for the first time. The event raised $400,000 for Children's Cancer Research Fund.
