2003 MTV VMA's
I just finished watching the VMA's. Anyone else? I missed most of the show because...well frankly I have one word to describe this year's show: B-O-R-I-N-G! High lights (just a few): -The Opening with Madonna, Christina, Missy and (cough) Britn

Best way to store skincare and makeup

OK so my Prada bag needs Repair......Where can I go?
The lining on my Prada bag is becoming undone (yikes!) I'm in NYC so I called Art Bag. They tell me the tab will be $49 & Up (if only re-stitching is needed, the sky is the limit if re-lining is called for) and 3 weeks to get the job done. I don't

Shoes of the opposite sex--what styles/ fashions can't you stand?
I absolutely hate seeing men who wear tassled loafers. I'm really prejudiced about this. Although I like to see men well-dressed, I can forgive a lot. I have one friend whom I still like despite the fact that he owns a pair of these, but he's sort
