Keep Your EPI Kit Handy, Duchess

(Honey, be careful where you put that stinger)

The Royals: they're just like us! Rubbing bee venom on they face to simulate that just stung feel so it swells and plumps up those saggy jowls.








Venom slinger to the stars, Deborah Mitchell claims "it tricks the skin’s surface into thinking it has been stung, increasing its blood flow, collagen and elasticity" and that's what keeps clients like Victoria Beckham, Michelle Pfeiffer and Those Incredible Minogue Sisters buzzing for more of her "bee sting facial"

Dannii Minogue (with Deb Mitchell) shows off her bee-stung lips... and cheeks and neck and....

And now, according to the UK Daily Mail Kate Middleton is getting sweet on the idea thanks to a direct referral from fellow client, Camilla Parker Bowles

(I kinda just love this picture of this B! Ha!)

Hmm... remember when DuWop was all the rage for that faked Lisa Rinna look? I'm pretty sure that was the results of bee venom too. perhaps it isn't all the cell phones that are killing off the bees: it's Lindsay Lohan and the Queen of England!!

Kate Middleton Should Sue

Umm... worse portrait of Kate Middleton ever! William didn't fare so well either, but jesus. And they could totally sue anyway for using their likeness to sell some beat down Lower East side champagne that's ambrosia to cherubs

(is that PINK champagne? double gross)

I looked it up and the 2000 vintage actually runs $75/bottle. You'd think they could afford at least Banksy or somethin'!

Battle of the Kate's Round 2

While you were busy eating veggie burgers and grilled asparagus all weekend, Miss Moss became a Mrs.

Moss married boyfriend of four years, Jamie Hince, the guitarist for The Kills. He wore a blue tux. 

And as planned she wore a custom gown by her long time friend, disgraced designer John Galliano

A gutsy move of loyalty but also style. Cuz for all his faults, Galliano can make some clothes. The dress is elegant and pretty on Kate. Very youthful and light. She's glowing. 

Moss is wearing Zelda Fitzgerald's engagement ring, whom the dress was also inspired by, according to Women's Wear Daily. A very odd first choice on the road to marital bliss, if you ask me. 

So now both Kates have married and both dresses have been seen. Which is your favorite? Middleton's long and lace or Moss' simple and political? 

Is Your McQueen Back from the Dry Cleaners?

Tonite's MET Ball honoring Alexander McQueen has people in a tizzy. Model Coco Rocha couldn't get her first pick to wear tonite

"I'm like... antlers, I can do it"

I hope she didn't settle for one of the "nice dainty dresses" that they had left.

One girl has already disappointed in McQueen this week.

Battle of the Kate's Round 1

Well, the battle of the British Kate's gettin' married has drawn first blood. Kate Middleton became royal this morning and she did so in a full lace look by British designer Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen

(Make 'dat money, girl!)

No surprise here. Fashion blogs have been buzzing for weeks that Sarah Burton would land the gig despite a bunch of designer red herrings released by the press in the recent weeks.

But what about the dress?

Anyone else think it's a bit mumsy for such a young girl? I know dress makers Long Island over are scrambling to knock it off already but will the modern American girl really want all that lace, covered arms and delicate English rose look?


And this is a McQueen look? With the MET previewing its McQueen respective in Vogue and online, just imagine the glamour she could have pulled out. Yes, she looks sweet and refined here, but she could have looked POW and you gotta pull out a TKO if you wanna beat Ms Moss, my dear.

Cuz you just know that B's gonna bring it come July.

To be continued....

British Kates Fight for Wedding of the Year

VS.

Move over Middleton, there's a new Kate in town, or at least at the bridal registry. Kate Moss announced that boyfriend of little over 3 years, Jamie Hince, proposed with a 1920's vintage engagement ring Tuesday night in bed. Jamie even asked Kate's parents for permission first

After an up and down relationship, Kate has been especially impressed with Jamie's growing paternal relationship with her daughter with ex boyfriend Jefferson Hack,
Lila Grace

Wow, who knew one half of a band named The Kills was such a big softy? The wedding is planned for July 2nd, 2011

Careful Kate Middleton, this promises to be the wedding of the year!

Oh, What Can You Do When She's Dressed in Black

In both my styling and retail career I have run into these unwritten, foreign to me, stodgy rules applying to weddings. I never knew you couldn't wear black to a wedding. 

Where do you get all these unspoken do's and don'ts, women? What's the modern day rationale behind banning black and why is everyone sniping at Princess to Be Kate Middleton for not caring about archaic codes of dress? It's 2011, let's move on from the days of Goody Proctor, shall we?

Meanwhile the Sagittarius in me wants to know where she got that hat with the little spear/arrow/feather thingy?
