Rihanna for Glamour Magazine

By Leave a Comment

Rihanna has landed yet another cover and this time it is Glamour Magazine. In this issue she talks about her personal style (which we love), drama, and loving a dominating man. Check out a few excerpts and photos from the interview.

On Drama
“I hate drama. But at the same time, nothing bothers me more than when life’s perfect. And that’s the sick part. I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing…”



On her personal style
“Getting dressed, I want to pick the most bizarre pair of shorts so I can figure out how to make it look right, or work an outfit that will make people go, “What the hell is she wearing?”

On Dominant Men
“I play a very dominant role in my life, in every aspect of it. And I like to feel like a lady still, at some point. I feel like that’s the time when a guy really gets to be a man, and I get to be a woman. And if I’m being a man in the bedroom too, there’s nothing really in it for me.”

I love her hair in this shoot! The red is “LOUD” but she makes it look very glamorous!

Yes you read correctly “Heel Condoms.” Maybe you have seen them in Glamour Magazine or on MSN or Yahoo, but if you haven’t you are in for a treat.

In Other News: Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie

By 4 Comments

Kim Kardashian graces the cover of the February issue of Glamour Magazine this is a typical Kim K spread in my opinion. There’s really no “WOW Factor” here. She is a gorgeous woman, but let’s face it, media is over saturated with the Kardashians

Another socialite turned designer,Nicole Richie, graces the cover of Lucky Magazine. I absolutely LOVE this spread. It is so bright and full of life! Winter is so dreary, but Nicole shows us that there is light at the end of the tunnel and spring will be here before we know it! Peach, floral, turquoise, bright purple, polka dots, and bright red gives this spread life! Thank you Lucky Magazine and thank you Nicole Richie.

Cheap Date Ideas for New Year’s Eve

By 2 Comments

If you and your friends still have not solidified any plans for New Year’s Eve, here are a few suggestions from Glamour that will not break your pockets. As we all know, this is the one time of year when clubs and restaurants charge outrageous prices to bring in the new year at their establishment. I don’t think paying $100 per person to bring in the New Year is necessary. You can still have a great time and get ahead start on that savings plan for 2011. Here are the suggestions for a great New Year’s Eve date that won’t break the bank.

1. Invite a few friends over for a potluck. Your delicious smorgasbord will be way more wallet-friendly than dinner at a fancy pants restaurant. Plus, you’ll have plenty to snack on while waiting for the ball to drop.

2. Order delivery and watch your favorite movies on DVD. If you and your beau are hoping for a more intimate way to ring in the New Year, call up your favorite delivery spot. Remember to place your order super early (at least an hour before you’d like to eat), delivery times on big holidays can be pretty intense.

3. Have dinner at a diner or burger joint. If you’d really like to go out on Friday but don’t want to drop a ton of dough, head to a hole-in-the-wall spot you love. Your dinner bill will probably cost less than cover charge at a fancy club. And since most party-minded folks will go to dressy and expensive restaurants that require reservations, your no-frills dive shouldn’t be too crowded. If you’re feeling really festive you and your fellow could splurge and order a milkshake. With two straws.

4. Prepare a few fancy appetizers and drinks and have a romantic night in. Get in touch with your Iron Chef fantasies by whipping up your favorite culinary goodies.

5. Get your game on. Play one of your favorite board games together while sipping champagne. Slightly saucy Scrabble, anyone?

Glamour’s Cold-Weather Date Ideas

By 1 Comment

All of my friends and most of my co-workers know that I do not get along with Winter. I hate being cold and I hate being bundled up. A few years ago when I was on a trip my co-workers and I had this discussion on some great cold weather date ideas. I did not agree with the most of their ideas like window shopping, but Glamour Magazine composed a list of 7 cold-weather date ideas. These are not so bad. I’d actually consider most . Check out the list

Go for a stroll downtown
Bundle up, grab a big thermos of hot cocoa and walk around your downtown together. Check out festive decorations adorning the buildings and don’t forget to partake in a little bit of people watching.

Hit the slopes
Dust off your sleigh and go for a few fun runs down a hill at the local park. Or if you and your beau are a bit more adventurous, head to the slopes for an afternoon of snowboarding. Don’t forget to cuddle on the lifts.

Get cooking
Put your culinary heads together and come up with a meal perfect for cold weather. You and your boyfriend could make a hearty stew or chili or even a fancy roast. While you’re cooking, listen to your favorite music.

Go ice-skating
Visit a nearby ice-skating rink together. Even if your style is more about being nice-and-slow than it is about pulling off fancy tricks, you and your fellow are sure to have a fun time while gliding along together. Hello, couples’ skate!

Be a tourist in your own city
In many cities, winter is a wonderful time to visit the local tourist attractions. If winter is considered the off-season where you live, grab your guy by the hand and take some time to really enjoy what your city has to offer.

Make it a movie night
After dinner one night, stay in and make your favorite hot drinks. Then plop yourselves in front of the television and pop your favorite movie into the player to watch while cuddling. And if you’re lucky enough to have a fire place, light that baby up and enjoy the romantic glow.

Take in a local holiday parade or show
Brave the cold temperatures to cheer on the performers in your town’s annual holiday parade. Or if you’d like to stay indoors, research local community theater groups to see if any are putting on seasonal productions.
