Arguably, today’s most famous pin-up girl/burlesque dancer, Dita is also a picture of glamour and even sophistication.

She is a prime example for those of you who want to be a perfect lady during the day and a little naughty in the bedroom.

Wearing something sexy under your usual work clothing may just give you that extra something you need in your next business meeting to close the deal. Just knowing that you still “have it’ sometimes means more than actually even doing anything with “it”.

Visit Dita’s web site to get some ideas as well as to possibly buy some much needed lingerie.

It’s about time we all gave drugstore brands a chance, and even my good friend “S” the luxury cosmetic brand snob has found something he loves in L’Oreal H.I.P. Shadows the other day… but I have something better….
Lash Blast Mascara by Cover Girl has hit the cosmetic scene and they have the beautiful and sophisticated Drew Barrymore as their spokeswoman. Lash Blast takes volume to the next level with a bigger brush with tons of bristles that will separate, lengthen and volumize each application. There is no clumping because the brush doesn’t dump product on the lash, it stays on the brush and as you apply you can build the volume you are looking for. This is truly the false lash look that you and every girl needs! Lash Blast will come in four colors and retail for only $7.49 a tube, this is a no-brainer! You just have to try it!

Barrymore actually served as the co-creative director for the ad campaign and she looks absolutely glamorous! Barrymore recently stated in WWD, “I love it. The product, the message, it has always said, ‘Be true to yourself,’ instead of fitting into a mold. It’s about being the best version of what you are. That’s important, especially with beauty and women.”

She also said, “Lovely, long, spidery, beautiful lashes are alluring and sexy, like a finger extending out drawing someone in.”

Count and Countess D’Ornano

Its time that we ladies wake up and realize that these celebs and models do not look like that 24/7 and if they do they are only the super popular ones that can afford to have a staff on hand to keep them beautiful at all times.

If I hear one more beautiful teenage girl beating themselves up because they don’t look like a supermodel or why cant they have the face of a certain celebrity I am going to go nuts! What you aren’t realizing is that the those celebs don’t look like that either! It takes a team, and when I say team, I mean team, of people at their call to create the image you see in print.

Makeup artists and photographers will agree, we work wonders on a lot of people to make them appear the way you see them, that is what we do! We are artists!!! We give you a perfect “painting” of these faces, and trust me, sometimes it takes a long time to get that face looking like what you see in print!

Check out TMZ.com for a quick peek at some of your favorite celebrities looking pretty scary. Oh wait, SCARY is what they look on a daily basis, before the makeup, lighting, fashion, and hairstylist get them in their chairs!

Seriously girls, don’t beat yourself up! You are all gorgeous and have a unique beauty to share with the world. Just be you, a confident woman, and your beauty will shine on all day long, without the expense of an entourage of professionals. Smile, be happy, and do something nice for someone, especially yourself! I’ll leave you with this short clip on how it’s all done in the industry.
