Nominees Don't Have to Carry Bags
Eva Mendes sports a "Battletown Bag" from the karibag
collection. Karibags wrap around the waist and are designed to
hold cash, credit cards, IDs, and keys. They are made with the
finest materials: Austrian crystals, leather and silk. Each style
is named after a different city and the best part is they free
up your hands. That way you can shop, dance and go to cocktail
parties all without the hassle of holding a purse. Some designs
even have a cell phone pocket.
Karibags are available in select retail locations around the
world and on the Web. For a list of stores and for more information,

Have A
Swim In 30 Million Bucks
This bikini designed by Susan
Rosen is made up of over 150 carats of D Flawless diamonds, some
of the rarest in the world including a 51ct D Flawless Pear Shape,
a 30ct D Flawless Emerald Cut, a pair of 15ct D Flawless Rounds
and a pair of 8ct D Flawless Pear Shapes. All of the diamonds
are free of inclusions, or nature's birthmarks, making the sparkle
and brilliance unsurpassable. That, coupled with perfect D colored
stones, which are set in platinum, makes the bikini truly extraordinary.
Don't see that in your closet anytime soon? Don't worry: Nobody
would be looking at the diamonds anyway. |

Men At
Work
Spring '06's hottest fashion trend -- layering -- is making an
early debut this winter, as millions of Americans are turning
down their thermostats and piling on the clothes to keep toasty
while save money in the face of record snowfalls and high heating
oil and natural gas prices.
The designers at Dickies, the preferred on-the-job workwear brand
for Alaska road crews, Midwest farmers, Colorado ranchers for
84 years (as well as musicians, roadies, bike messengers, and
millions of other young men), say layering is nothing new to
those who work outdoors in the harshest climates.
"The goal is quickly add or shed clothing as temperatures
and activities fluctuate," says Jon Ragsdale, Vice President
of Marketing for the Williamson- Dickie Mfg. Company. "We've
been studying this for years, so that Dickies can keep workers
comfortable, protected and productive year round."
Which is how fashionistas can follow real life workers to winter
wardrobe success.
The trick is a close fitting base, such as a Dickies long sleeved
T, thermal shirt or their new Performance Underwear, followed
by a looser piece, like a basic work pant and long sleeve shirt,
thermal lined fleece hoodie or quilted vest.
Throw on some heavy duty outerwear like Dickies High Performance
Duck jackets, overalls or coveralls and you're ready to face
the chilly outdoors.

Spike
Up Your Eyewear
Oakley today announced the release
of its latest eyewear design called SPIKE, an invention that
blends the fashion of an Oakley original with the company's well-known
optical, performance features and 30-year legacy of eyewear innovation.
SPIKE features Oakley's High Definition Optics (HDO) for unsurpassed
optical clarity.
To offer all-day comfort, Oakley utilized its durable C-5 alloy
to create the lightweight SPIKE frame. Comfort is further optimized
with Unobtainium, a supple material that increases grip with
perspiration. The linear ear stems hold the lenses in precise
optical alignment while offering the comfort of Oakley's renowned
Three-Point Fit. Design accents include true metal icons.
Oakley's new SPIKE eyewear is available with several options.
The company's Iridium lens coating reduces glare while tuning
the transmission of light to optimize performance. Lenses with
gradient shading (varied darkness from top to bottom) are available.
Customers can also purchase SPIKE with Oakley polarization. Oakley
polarized lenses are created with a liquid infusion process to
eliminate the distortion and haze found in conventional polarized
lenses. For those who require corrective lenses, SPIKE is a prescription-ready
design.

Tips For 'Stupid Girls'
On April 4, 2006, the multiple Grammy winning, multi-platinum
selling LaFace recording artist known as Pink will unleash her
4th album, I'm Not Dead, and it is everything it should be: a
stylistic evolution; a stunning display of her craft as a vocalist
and songwriter and a very personal scrap book of everywhere she's
been and everywhere she's going. This is Pink in top form, as
brutally honest and as soulfully vocal as only she can be. This
album brims with Pink's signature funk, but I'm Not Dead reveals
her rock and roll side more than ever. It's undeniable proof
that Pink can belt the blues as well as she rocks the dance floor.
I'm Not Dead is also Pink's most confessional work to date. Whether
discussing heartbreak, childhood, doomed romance, fake friends
or the cult of celebrity, Pink states her mind with open-eyed
candor - and two tons of attitude.
Just... please don't go for those fashion tips, girls.
