Tyra Banks teaches you how to smile
If you're a top model, you apparently have 275 kinds of smiles on call, but for beginner models, Tyra "Smile With Your Eyes" Banks says you have to know seven. In a twisted turn of events, she proceeds to demonstrate said smiles and scares the shit out of me.

It's official: Supermodels are back...sort of
European ads for the Fall campaigns are foregoing celebrities and models du jour in favour of 90's Supes. The question is: Can they overthrow the celebrity saturation in North America? And will they last past this season? Still, it's fun to see the old faces return and not having to see Sasha P everywhere.
So far we have:
Eva Herzigova for Louis Vuitton
Naomi for YSL
Linda Evangelista for Prada
Claudia Schiffer for Salvatore Ferragamo
Kate Moss for Stella McCartney
Stephanie Seymour for Loewe
Christy Turlington for Escada
Claudia Schiffer for Chanel
Amber Valletta for DSquared
I want to see me some Cindy too!
¿ ME SUPERFICIAL ?
To see tonight the 1st episode before everyone at midnight (London Time), it means 1am in Paris, 7pm in NY, 4pm in LA, 8am in Tokyo or 9am in Sydney, befriend The Facehunter Show here.

Town Shoes likes to copy other designers
I stopped by Town Shoes on my lunch break and was surprised to see so many bags that were obvious copies of designer labels. Chanel and Prada "influenced" bags were everywhere. Not only where they ugly and cheap-looking, but they were overpriced. Bad Town Shoes!
Exhibit A:
Town shoes bag. It retails for almost $200 and is hideous in real life.
Prada Napa Stripes Multicolour Hobo. It retails for $1200 but is lusciously soft and gorgeous.
Exhibit B:
Town Shoes clutch. Ick. (Ignore that magnifying glass.)
Prada Bow clutch. Yummy.
Exhibit C:
Town Shoes shoulder bag. Hiss!
Chanel Coco Cabas. Yay!

The search for the perfect clutch
I feel ashamed that I am a self-professed bag-a-holic and I don't even own a clutch. I know, the horror! But I honestly can't find a use for one. I'm never walking on the red carpet at a movie premiere, so why do I need one? You may give me great suggestions like dinner, the movies, a wedding, a funeral, a fancy party. Ok I need something more hefty for all of these wonderful events that I never really attend (except for the movies and I need a massive bag to hide the food and drinks that I sneak in the theatre.)
For example, I'm bringing my Chanel classic flap (it's a medium which is pretty damn small but not as small as a clutch) to a wedding I'm attending in June, and it will hold my money, keys, tiny camera and an extra pair of underwear (yes, I'm expecting to get laid that night.) I don't think I could fit panties in a clutch. I also don't believe in this awful trend of carrying massive clutches that they might as well be bags. They are ugly and ridiculous.
And I never attend fancy parties.
So...why am I now thinking about getting one, besides the fact that every girl should own one just in case?
Well you never know when you will be invited to a movie premiere right? Or you may get the opportunity to attend a fabulous party (in which you aren't expecting to get laid so no stashing of underwear is necessary.)
So here are my choices of clutches that I would want to buy:
1. Cole Haan Genevieve Clutch
This one reminds me so much of Bottega Venetta, with the woven leather. But it's way cheaper. And I can be pretty cheap sometimes. It's very elegant and classic-looking, which is important because I wouldn't want a trendy piece for something I would be using forever.
2. Devi Kroell Gem embellished satin clutch
I like the crystals and how they aren't perfectly aligned. It's kind of funky but classy too.
3. VBH python box clutch
Normally I am not a fan of exotic skins, and I probably wouldn't buy this myself, but the colours alone make it an amazing accessory because it just pops out and would look amazing against an elegant muted evening dress.
4. Bottega Veneta Intrecciato pyramid clutch
Because it's BV and because you know the leather is going to be buttery soft. It's just understated elegance.
5. Louis Vuitton Limelight clutch
This actually fits a ton of stuff and is very soft and squishy.
6. Bottega Veneta Antilope Intrecciato Silk Knot clutch
It's timeless, it's beautiful.

My France/cute walking shoe
I'm going to France next week and I realized that every pair of shoes I own are totally unsuitable for the amount of walking I'm going to be doing. When I'm in Paris I know I'm going to be cheap and walk rather than take the metro. Unfortunately, I am too snobby to wear basic running shoes because I don't think they are "chic" enough. So I went on a quest to find really cute shoes that would be comfortable to walk a lot in.
Enter Cole Haan.
Last weekend I was persuaded to try on shit loads of shoes just for fun...of course that means that I would have to buy something. I nixed a pair of leopard print pumps (although I am definitely buying them later), I fell in love with a pair of patent leather black pumps but didn't think they would be suitable for walking for miles on cobblestones. And then I saw them. The cutest shoes that looked like I could run a marathon in. And they were flats. Not the usual flats that have no sole support, but had those cool Nike Air bubble things. The shoes are actually made with Nike Air "technology" on the sole to give your foot good walking support, and the rest of the shoe is a woven Cole Haan leather in silver. Even though I swore to myself I would never buy flats, I feel that I can be justified wearing these because they are so comfortable and are more of a running shoe/flat. In short, they are perfect for walking the streets of Paris!

The cast of 90210 wear awful clothes
The first thing I thought of when I saw this video promo of the new 90210 was "stripes...too many stripes."
I thought that this show would be like Gossip Girl: Filled with headbands, ridiculously large handbags, red tights and trendy dresses. Boy, was I ever wrong. Instead we are treated to jumpsuits, faux gold jewelry, pink and yellow 80's vests, and totally mismatched colours it makes your eyes hurt. I can just picture the stylists train of thought when trying to plan out the "look" of the characters: "Beverly Hills...Paris Hilton meets the 80s. Yes, my plan is complete! They will wear oddly-coloured vests. This show will be so fashion forward! Gossip Girl ain't got nothing on me y'all."
