Honor Steals the Show, Milks Some Laughs Out of Jess & Cash

PopSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:00:00 -0700

The Alba-Warren family is already getting into the Halloween spirit! Yesterday the trio headed to a festive party, where Cash tweeted a pic of Honor asking his followers, "What do you all think of my little stink's costume?" Later, Honor was back in her regular adorable fashion to join Jessica for a trip to the pumpkin patch. The girls checked out some future jack-o'-lanterns, just like some of the other celebrity kids we've seen doing the same. With a week left to go until Halloween, if Honor doesn't want to repeat costumes on the big night - LilSugar has tons of ideas for the little cutie.

John Mayer Talks TwitPics and Decides to Get a Kindle 2

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:02:12 -0800

When PopSugar recently chatted with John Mayer about attending the Oscars with Jennifer Aniston, and he even opened up about his Twitter habits and his new found interest in TwitPic. Here's what he had to say about it:

"So the other night I was sitting up in bed because I couldn’t sleep. And I found out that if you go to a TwitPic, whatever one it is, and if you just start messing with the sequential order of the link, so if its like a1m2 go to a1m3, and it's someone else’s photograph. So we just started Twittering."

He even admitted to putting up a picture on TwitPic and claiming it was a friend:

"We were finding other peoples TwitPics. Look at TwitPic.com with a savvy eye, and you’ll see American life at its most amazing. You’ll see through a lens of people you’d never meet. This is my brother Doug. This is. . . I’m taking a bike ride with Eric Childs. It’s ridiculous. I’m trying to find a new frontier for Twitter. There’s an art form somewhere there, I don’t know what it is yet."

I love how John is becoming just as enamored with Twitter as Ashton. Yesterday John even posted a Tweet announcing that he's going to pick up a Kindle 2. "It takes something that costs 300 bucks to get me to read a 1.50 cent paper on it." I completely agree. I'm the one still hoping and wishing for a price drop.

Timeless Sibling Themes For Halloween: Daisy and Bee

LilSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:30:07 -0700

What's cuter than a child dressed up in costume? His or her sibling in a complementary one! Themed Halloweens were popular in my household growing up. We'd choose what we wanted to be and then my grandma and aunts would get to work making my mother's vision (she couldn't sew) come to fruition. In the 80s plastic costumes were the only ones available for purchase, but today lots of retailers sell affordable outfits for children to wear out trick-or-treating. After shuffling through some old photographs, I came across some pictures of timeless attire for fellow parents to use as inspiration - no trip to the fabric store or thimble required!

Celebrate the spooky holiday by dressing your babe in a sweeter than honey bee costume and the older tot as a darling daisy or her favorite flower. These getups are a salute to mother nature and will have fellow night owls buzzing!

I seem to be obsessed with trying to get "the perfect shot" on my camera. Thankfully for digital photography, I can take over 100 photos of the same thing until the photo looks just right. Did you know that we've started a Cool Capture group that celebrates fabulous pics taken by real cameras?

Cool Capture: Pink Rose of a Photo Taken by a Canon EOS SLR

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:20:18 -0700

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes the right camera is worth a thousand dollars . . . or at least a couple hundred. No matter how much you spent on your camera, or how sharp your shooting skills, cool captures are born when you start snapping. Our Cool Capture group celebrates fabulous pics taken by real cameras. The photo above was shot at Sugar HQ by Angelica. She says:

I took this photo while playing around with a Canon EOS SLR camera. I am not a skilled photographer by any means, but I was thrilled by the lighting. The rose buds look utterly radiant. Love this camera to pieces because it's easy to use and I am always proud of the photos.
