Kidoodle: Easy Thanksgiving Centerpiece and a Little Stroll

Lil Community — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:00:08 -0800

This post comes from member Lauren in the Crafts and Fun Things to Do With Kids group.

A couple Thanksgivings ago, I celebrated with my neighbor's family and their two fantastic kids in Tahoe. The turkey was in the oven and I realized we didn't have a centerpiece for the table. I had found two empty large fish bowls/vases in the house. So their youngest and I went on a little walk with a paper bag in tow. On our short walk, we collected pine cones, pine needles, lichen, pieces of bark and just about anything else we could find. He used just about all of our found objects and made two perfect centerpieces.

What's Hot on the eBay For Celebs and Ballers

SavvySugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:30:51 -0800

We know where celebrities buy things, but have you ever wondered where they go to sell their belongings? While eBay is for the rest of us, those with crazy cash flow can now turn to the BillionaireXchange when they want to auction off items. The members only site won't let you in unless you have at least $2 million in liquid assets. The site launched just this month, yet A-Rod and Dwayne Wade have already posted possessions for sale. Check out what's on the millionaires' marketplace - you won't find any used J.Crew that's for sure.

Do Tell: If You Could Talk to Any Dead Celeb, Who Would It Be?

TresSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:30:00 -0700

Paranormal activity has just moved into the 21st century! A psychic in the UK is going to conduct the world's first online séance using Twitter. Ghosts + psychic + séance + Twitter = Twéance.

Psychic Jaynce Wallace wants you to tell her – via tweet - which celebrity you'd want her to reach out to. She will post this dead celebrity Q&A on Twitter.com/tweance Oct. 30 - just in time for Halloween! (Be sure to account for the UK time/ghost time differential.)

Although Twitter really only blew up about a year ago, a spokesman for Angels Fancy Dress in London, the folks who came up with the idea for the Tweance, wondered why it took so long to conduct séances on the site: "We were amazed to see no one had used Twitter for a séance before." Seriously, why so long?

If you could talk to any dead celebrity, who would it be? What would you ask?

Lindsay Lohan's leggings collection is doing so well, she has decided to take her biz online. 6216collection.com features an online store, where fans can purchase the brand's latest collection, as well as some exclusive online-only styles that Lindsay picked herself. What's more, the actress has taken up blogging. Check out Radar to learn about Lindsay's latest discoveries in fashion, music, movies, travel, books, food, and beauty. "Our hope is that Radar will inspire a bit of the 6126 lifestyle into the lives of all our customers because every woman deserves to feel glamorous," Lindsay said. Considering the brand's (and Lindsay's) muse is Marilyn Monroe, there will be no shortage of that.

Oh Snap! Big Giants at the Big Wall

TresSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:00:00 -0700

More than one million people gathered in Berlin last weekend to view giant puppets at the city's historical sites. The moving exhibit, put on by artists and technicians from the French troupe Royal de Luxe, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The "big giant" was from West Berlin, while the "little giant" was imagined to be his niece from East Berlin. The street show ended on Sunday, when the puppets symbolically returned tens of thousands of letters intercepted decades ago by East Germany's secret police. The show cost more than $2 million, but it seems like the creative commemoration of a painful recent history was well worth the price.

Rachel Zoe Tweets About Her New Nail Polish Obsession...and More!

BellaSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:00:12 -0700

The great thing about Twitter is that it gives us all a unique accessibility to celebrities. Take Dita Von Teese, for instance, who shared her favorite beauty items, from nail polish shades to lipstick to her bargain-buy foundation. Also known for her tweeting skills? Rachel Zoe, who brought us her warm-weathered nail polish pick in July. Since I'm a fan of the stylist's quirky personality and impeccable taste, I thought I'd give her Twitter page a look-see to discover what beauty items she's been using as of late - and just to make sure that she's not literally dying. To find out what bodycare items and nail polish shades she's been going bananas for, just read more.
