Hot Women American Perspective

Blog page changes: Go to the bottom of the page to see the new family portrait. And at the bottom of the left bar are some videos of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince trailers.

OK, here are the pictures you have been waiting for. I *knew* I heard the sound of glass breaking when I ran down the hallway. I looked all over the house, but didn't find this until later in the evening. There might have been a crack in the concrete leading to the pool stairs before, but it is now wider and offset in a small stair-step. There are numerous other hairline cracks in the concrete patio as well, that either appeared or widened. And this corner lifter up further. I will have to call a company to smooth it down so the kids don't stub their toes. This is the exact point they jump off from when jumping into the deep area in the middle of the pool.

Sorry, no pictures today. I didn't feel like taking any. Too fresh, too nervous. But here is what happened. Around 11:30am I was organizing my closet upstairs when the shaking started. Little shaking at first, but I decided to start running to the baby's room in case it got bigger. It DID. As I rounded the corner in the bedroom the house started banging and moving side to side hard. I have educated myself about earthquakes, so when I saw the bedroom door flapping closed and open as I approached it, I was not surprised. I grabbed it mid-swing and ran through. I turned left and sprinted down the hall to the baby's room. The problem was, that the upstairs hall is more of a balcony. There is a full rail the length of it and it hangs over the hard tile of the downstairs entryway. The house was really moving as I ran and the hall looked bent as it moved. As I ran I heard a crashing to my right when the chandelier over the staircase swung into the wall 3 feet away fro

I just ordered a money belt online for my daughter today. She leaves in mid August to go to Rome for 4 months for her semester abroad. She will be studying classical Roman stuff and the Italian language. Since I can't be there to control the situation and keep her safe, I'm getting her the money belt. Hopefully being careful with her money and passport will help. It is hard for me as a mom to put on my happy smile and send her across the world on her own, but I know that she is up to the challenge. So I looked for a cartoon to show how nervous I am, but I came across this one that made me laugh instead. Cartoon by Dave Walker .

Renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the celebrities in various fairytale guises in a promotion for Walt Disney's theme parks. Recruited by Disney to promote Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign, Leibovitz persuaded her famous friends to dress up as classic Disney characters.

I decided to start the long-procrastinated task of assembling the family photo album yesterday. What shocked me was how easy and cheap it was. Remember the old days when all our pictures had to be sent to the photo place and we paid $8 for the whole roll but only got maybe 4 good pictures? Those days are GONE! And I thought things were better with digital pictures, but I became disappointed with the ink jet photo prints. Sticky, runny pictures that didn't look right. My good friend and neighbor, L, came to the rescue again. She told me she emails her pictures to Costco or Walmart for prints. I went onto the Costco website and decided to do a set of test pictures. I got 25 free prints for just signing up. And I uploaded 60 pics to print, which, going from the present back in time took me to around January 2007. I dug up a blank photo album and put the pictures in from back to front. Then last night I sent another 80-something pictures for printing, bringing me back to la

Leading model Eva Padberg and the new Mercedes sports coupé CLC share top billing in the key visual for the second Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, which takes place from January 27 - 31, 2008. The new CLC will be unveiled to the public for the first time at the fashion event. The purpose of the key visual is twofold: It will be used as a motif on adverts, posters and event materials promoting the Berlin event, and at the same time will generate interest and a sense of anticipation in advance of the world premiere of the new CLC, because the photo reveals only part of the sport coupé. Most of the body is hidden by the vivid yellow fabric of the evening gown worn by Eva Padberg. The CLC will then be revealed in all its beauty on January 27, 2008 at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin 2008.

ROME ( Reuters Life!) - British designer Katharine Hamnett is relishing a comeback now that the fashion world has finally caught up with her campaigning notions about clothes. Hamnett stormed off the fashion stage four years ago after her pleas to use organic cotton fell on deaf ears. But the designer whose oversized T-shirts with slogans like "Choose Life" and "Use a Condom" were all the rage in the 1980s is enjoying a return now that "ethical fashion" is in vogue. "Years ago when I was talking about this I was a voice in the wilderness and now I have people come up to me and say 'Oh, you were right all along,"' Hamnett said in an interview at Rome fashion week, where she was promoting ethical fashion. Once a fixture on the London catwalk scene, Hamnett severed her contracts with licensees in 2004 to commit what she calls "commercial suicide" and went back to selling T-shirts when her social and environmental initiatives drew

Leggy Shoes Modeling

From fragility to sporty punky garments .right model on the right side is Sophie Ward , sister of super model Gemma Ward .

The only designer that does Boho right is Anna Sui. Anna Sui's was pure unadulterated fun, with models who smiled, had punky stripes in their hair and and wore outfits that somehow merged the 30s with the 70s. Sui concentrated on funky prints, great colour combos and mixing textures like chiffon and denim, silk and sequins, for a beautiful collection that put a modern spin on very retro shapes. Though hard to wear in reality, the high-waisted hotpants teamed with puff-sleeved blouses and layered tops were really cute, as were the signature printed dresses in diaphanous fabrics. Easy tailoring was gorgeous too, with great wide-leg high waisted trousers teamed with waistcoats and 3/4 sleeve jackets. puffed sleeves, bows and scarves kept the look feminine and not too Bugsy Malone. The shoes had a 70s vibe - high platforms and perspex chunky heels. [ debutanteclothing.com ]

Anya Rozova, who went by Anya Kop on the last season of America's Next Top Model, signed with Elite Model Management on Friday. She may have come in second on the show, behind Whitney Thompson, but she's scored a spot on the agency's development board. Booker Jose Covarrubias says the agency asked for her after the show ended. And she came to them with brown hair (her natural shade — she dyed it back from her ANTM blond, which she found too hard to maintain). Covarrubias told us Rozova's already done "some editorials" but was unable to give specifics. "She's getting great response," he added. Does this mean we might see her at Fashion Week? "Right now she's building her book. We're treating her as any other model. For Fashion Week we have no plans other than — she's based in New York, she's going to go out and see everyone." Each season Elite plucks non-winners from the ANTM cast. Rozova's former housemate and compet

“Tony cut my hair!” Eva Longoria, 33, tells Entertainment Tonight. “I had to cut my hair for the show because Gabrielle has short hair,” she says. “I wore a wig in the last episode, but I didn’t want to wear a wig this whole season, so I was like, ‘I’m going to cut it!’” She says her hairstylist Ken Paves forced Parker to make the first move. “He said, ‘Tony, you’re going to do the first cut, so she can’t be mad at me,’” she says. “Tony did the first snip. He did more and then he did more and then Kenny cleaned it up.” She also revealed how she is packing on the pounds the next season of Desperate Housewives. To make Gabrielle look like she has two kids, Longoria says she now eats “everything in sight! Pasta … pizza. “Tony and I went crazy this summer!” says Longoria, who also stopped working out. Her other secret for looking heavier? “I have butt pads, I have thigh pads, I have stomach pads!” Housewives creator Marc Cherry said at the Television Critics Association on Thursday that he

Barbara Walters has a new feud on her hands and this time it is with the Executive Producer of Ghost Whisperer according to The New York Post. James was on The View July 7th to promote his book Ghost Among Us and warned her during a commercial break that he sensed something wrong with her blood. “He said, ‘I need to talk to you . . . There’s something wrong with your blood.’ Then he said, ‘There’s also something wrong with your lower back.’ “He said it could be an infection.” The news prayed on her mind, even though “I’m skeptical and Mr. Van Praagh knows it,” she said. “I’m obsessing, the white blood cells, blah-blah,” so she went for some tests, she said on the show. “Well, today I got the report. I am absolutely normal!” she said. “I think it’s a dangerous thing to do!” she said of Van Praagh. Van Praagh was stunned and, he says, hurt when he saw the show. “I felt obliged to privately acknowledge to Barbara Walters that I was sensing an abnormality with

An U.S. Appeals court has ruled in favor of CBS and over turned the $550,000 fine that was given to CBS Corporation for Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl half-time show according to Reuters. " The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said the U.S. Federal Communications Commission “arbitrarily and capriciously departed from its prior policy” that exempted fleeting broadcast material from actionable indecency violations. “Moreover, the FCC cannot impose liability on CBS for the acts of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, independent contractors hired for the limited purposes of the Halftime Show..,” wrote Chief Judge Anthony Scirica for the three-judge panel that heard the case." The U.S. Appeals court sided with CBS because the FCC has become way to powerful and uptight. We need to have some freedom of speech on TV and the FCC should not dictate what is vulgar obscene because the PTC complain in droves.

Nicollette Sheridan had dinner at Datana’s restaurant last night in West Hollywood, California. Nicollette looked stunning in a strapless aqua dress and was accompanied by a female companion. Blue really looks great on the Television star.

A guest tells us the event at Hiro was “so disorganized” that several people walked out because there were no seats. “It was a disaster,” said our spy. “When we complained, we were offered bottles of champagne to stay.” Another source said attendees were groping for freebies and stealing diamond-shaped Fabulosity perfume bottles. Simmons’ rep said, “There was no designated seating, there was a VIP area that was Kimora’s for executives. And no one paid for anything.”

WWD reports, co-star Whitney Port is the latest cast member seeking to capitalize on the show's popularity with young women, creating a contemporary label called Eve & A. Bitter rivals Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag, started apparel lines within the last year. Launching for fall with 20 pieces wholesaling from $50 to $220, Eve & A is intended to be sophisticated enough to go from the office to a cocktail party with its mix-and-match pieces in silk and wool. Heavy on black, the line features judicious pops of bright colors, including purple and Port's favorite hue of pink (that figures). "I wanted people to feel more daring," said Port to WWD, who came up with the label's moniker by combining her middle name with the first letter of co-creative director Adrienne Baravetto's first name. Brilliant!

Hollywood star Maggie Gyllenhaal had to limp down the red carpet in New York City, at Monday’s Batman premiere, after breaking her toe. Maggie,who stars opposite Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, suffered the fracture after slamming her foot against some furniture in her home. She blames the accident on her nerves ahead of the film’s big release, telling television talk show host David Letterman on Wednesday, “I’m like this indie actress, and I have this big movie, and all of a sudden I have a broken toe. I think it was because I was nervous about all this stuff. This big, huge movie all of a sudden, and I just walked across the room and I broke my toe.” But the star reveals she was too stunned to feel any pain from the break, saying: “I guess it hurt. My boyfriend (actor Peter Sarsgaard) was impressed with how broken it was.”

Her love life has been super messy in the past so you’d think Sienna Miller would take it slowly with her new bloke. But no, she’s about to move in with father-of-four Balthazar Getty - just a few weeks after dumping Rhys Ifans. Sienna has already become a familiar fixture among the plush furnishings of Balti’s LA mansion. And when the actor - who is heir to a mindboggling £25billion fortune - invited her to move in after a holiday in Italy, romantic Sienna already had her toothbrush ready. A source said: “Before they went on holiday Sienna was staying over at Balti’s place all the time. His wife and four children had moved out so they took full advantage. Sienna told a few friends that Balti had made some noises about moving in. Then during the holiday their feelings for each other got stronger. “She doesn’t really want to move into the family home because of all the history with his ex wife, so they are planning to buy somewhere new. But her friends are worried she’s rushing into it

Jessica looks adorable. I can’t imagine a more ridiculous pair of shoes to wear to a golf championship. Who wears platforms on a golf course? I have to say Jess is making a comeback lately, she looks incredible!
