How do you mix punk rock and glamour? Since the theme for this year’s Met Gala—Punk: Chaos to Couture—was announced, the fashion world’s most celebrated faces and benefactors have been pondering this one. Some failed to get it (Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum and Kate Upton, we’re looking at you) but others hit it out of [...]

Manly Monday – Blokes trying to get a bit of color is a thing!
If you’ve ever watched an episode of the Kardashians, you’ll know the effect one (Lord) Scott Disick has on the show. He’s ridiculous, self-absorbed, immature, and exactly what you want to watch on reality TV. Forget the rest of the crew, this man can and does pull a crowd, and his latest exploits have got [...]
Short Hair IS Sexy
Karlie Kloss, a Victoria’s Secret Angel, took the clippers to her hair just a few days before the ever-amazing annual runway show last year. She revealed a very blunt bob, but Victoria’s Secret decided to cover it up with mermaid-length extensions for the show. Now however, they’ve embraced the chin-grazing cut, never before seen on [...]
The 4 Best Celebrity Makeunders
The word “makeover” has been quite the buzzword here in the office lately, and while our staffers are getting done up, I’ve been pondering about how the opposite can have the same effect on a celebrity. In Hollywood, celebrity makeunders may not happen overnight but the transformations are amazing just the same. The recipe is [...]
MANLY MONDAY – The Art of Shaving at The Oscars
Last week, I was lucky enough to receive an invite to a brunch kicking off The Oscars weekend, thanks to the The Art of Shaving. Enviably located in the heart of Beverly Hills, The Art of Shaving is like no other barbershop, grooming parlor or salon I've ever seen. Granted, I did come with a [...]

With the world watching, first impressions are critical, with everyone dressed to perfection and dazzling for the paparazzi on the red carpet. It’s a time when stars shine their brightest by putting their [...]
The Quiff
The quiff is absolutely everywhere these days, enduring a resurgence that hasn’t been seen since its originating days back in the 1950′s. Elvis Presley, James Dean, and the Teddy Boy look all sported their own variations of the quiff, but the look today I feel incorporates all three, with influences from various generations. Lately in [...]
Fionagh Cush for TEMPTU and Beautiful Creatures
Spring’s biggest blockbuster Beautiful Creatures hit cinemas today, and leading the way behind the scenes was renowned Hollywood makeup artist Fionagh Cush. With years of experience working on some of Hollywood’s biggest sets, Cush knows a thing or two when it comes to makeup for the stars. On set in the extreme humid conditions of [...]
MANLY MONDAY: The Grammys
Recognizing outstanding achievement in the music industry, the Grammys have been the pinnacle for performers since it was first held in 1959. Now we all know “artists” can be quite, how should we put it, eccentric at times. Whether that be in their lyrics, on-stage performances, romantic choices, or just their day-to-day attire. Well last [...]
Beyoncé sets things straight
After what seems like the first hiccup in a Beyoncé routine since…ummm, well, ever in last month’s Inauguration performance, the stage was set at the Super Bowl last night for the irreplaceable songstress to put all those stupid little questions to bed. And she didn’t let us down, putting on a half-time performance that won’t [...]
