Lady in Red: Jaw Dropping Red Shoes

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Dec 2006 04:22:03 -0800

I hope I have provided enough red goodies for you this week to help get you in the holiday-dressing mood. Here is the final installation to my Lady in Red series. I saved the best for last . . . jaw-dropping red shoes. The beauty of red shoes is you can throw on any old LBD and look stunning - hot shoes in this color are guaranteed scene stealers. Here are my designer and nondesigner choices. Oh, and if this isn't enough for you (addict!), I wrote about a few red shoes not too long ago.

Christian Louboutin Peep Toe Slingbacks, $710. Take my breath away . . .

Betsey Johnson Merri Shoes, $170. Didn't I say I was going to take you down the red-brick road?

Nine West Leany, on sale for $39.99 (originally $89). The jaw-dropping thing about these is that price!

More to drool over, read more

Zac Posen Suede & Patent Leather Pump ($425). The mix of suede and patent leather is like mixing wine and vodka - a dangerous combination!

ALDO Patent Peep Toe Pumps, $69.99. Va-va voom!

Moschino Ladybug Pumps, $398.95. This one's dedicated to GiggleSugar.

Stripper at a Baby Shower: Ga Ga or Gag?

babysugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:00:49 -0800

It seems everyone is going for broke when it comes to throwing the most original baby shower for their expectant friends. Baby shaped cakes, Gucci crib shoes and champagne fountains are just a few eccentric touches that puzzle me but the one that shocks me most? Strippers. A mother of two with her third on the way was recently feted by her close friends with an unusual soiree. Instead of playing baby games, a group of randy moms decided it would be more fun for the soon-to-be mother-of-three to open layette and booties if a stripper were involved. Dressed up like a mailman, he said he had a special package to deliver for the pregnant mama. When she let him in, he dropped his trousers leaving many of the shower attendees gasping for air. Some ladies egged him on with uproarious laughter and chanting while a few guests took to the kitchen to avoid the striptease. The mother was a good sport and took the surprise in stride.

What do you think about the idea of a stripper at a baby shower?

Celebaby Style: Suri Cruise Steps Out in Silver and Suede

babysugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:46 -0800

Suri Cruise is one hot tot that sets the bar when it comes to celebaby style. Her high heel wearing ways have made her the hot topic in many mommy groups of late but it was this outfit that caught my attention. A sign of a true fashionista, Suri's ensemble looks perfectly effortless. Methinks "Stylist" might make it onto the lil sass's resume faster than any other profession.

All bundled up and protected from the NYC weather, the lil lady wore silver liquid leggings and a posh set of kid-friendly Petite Maloles "Celia" purple suede flats before stepping out in the rain. While the $160 shoes may be a bit steep for most moms who know they will end up in a sandpit, they are less apt to cause a twisted ankle than a pair of pumps. Keeping the flash below, she tops it off with a simple hot pink dress and a conservative Juicy Couture sweater that screams sweet girl. And for those who worry about her ability to hold onto youth, just take a gander at her Disney princess umbrella; it doesn't look like Jasmine and Aurora are going anywhere anytime soon.

PopSugarUK — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

Lady Gaga's new release "Bad Romance" is quite catchy, and this video is definitely for those looking for a fashion fix. She has many a costume change in these five minutes including a heck of a shoe collection (I especially love her metallic Alexander McQueen's)! Watch below and let me know what you think of the song and the video - enjoy!

Buzz Interview With the Cast of Precious, Part 3: Gabourey Sidibe

BuzzSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:30:00 -0800

Precious begins rolling out in theaters this Friday, and we'll finally see if it lives up to its Oscar hype. One performance that the Academy will definitely be talking about comes from newcomer Gabby Sidibe, who carries the film as the title character.

Playing an abused, pregnant teen is the sort of responsibility and heavy subject matter that could make even pros crack under pressure - so how is she coping with her big screen debut? I've already showed you my interviews with Paula Patton and director Lee Daniels, but for this third installment in my Precious series, check out my chat with the actress who already has Oprah and the rest of Hollywood buzzing.

On landing the role: "When I got hired, I was pretty sure it was just a joke. I wasn't an actress - I was a receptionist before this. I was like, there's no way they're interested in me. Since then, I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, but this joke has gone pretty far!"
On how she handled the first-time pressure: "I was sure I would look like a complete novice, like I didn't belong there, or that I didn't fit in, but once I got there and saw all the people involved - grips, electric, camera operators - I thought, okay, there are a lot of people whose paychecks are on my back, so I can't spaz out. So immediately all of my nervousness fell away from me, and I had a job to do."

On the award buzz: "It's weird, because I have no idea what it is to be a part of an Oscar-winning film or any kind of accolade-winning film, because this is my first go-around. So I just take every day as a gift! I'm thankful that anyone sees the film and feels something - and if the awards come, they come, or if they don't, they don't. But what I've done so far, I'm absolutely proud of myself."
On working with Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz: "It was insane. They're all people that I absolutely idolize. The first time Lenny Kravitz came on set, I was standing very, very still, and I knew he was around, and I couldn't wait for him to come upstairs. Then he did, and it was like, well, there is Lenny Kravitz. There was nothing to be scared about, because he was very cool. And Mariah, I met her the night before we started shooting. She was like the last to be hired, so we had done most of the movie. I kind of felt like a veteran - Mariah is stepping on to my turf. [laughs]"

On her next project: "It's a Sundance Lab Film [Yelling to the Sky], and it stars Zoe Kravitz. I play a girl who is really loud and obnoxious, the queen of the school. It's really fun because it's so far from Precious - I like playing the bad girl! And the film has a first-time director, Victoria Mahoney, who's a lady. The DP is a female, the camera operator is female, so it's all females. It's empowering in a weird way. I've never been all super feminist, but it's really cool."
On her new career: "It's so weird to have a 'Hollywood career.' I just want to do things that make me happy. There are so many people that I look up to as far as actresses go, but I just want to go as far as I can."

Love her! I'll be keeping a close eye on Gabby when the film opens, especially once award nominations start flowing in. Will you be checking out Precious?

Over the Top Platinum Babies Are Hitting WEtv

babysugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:38:27 -0700

Think Sweet Sixteen for fetuses. Mothers who are used to having everything their hearts desire now want to pass that diva quality onto their babes-to-be. WEtv's new show, Platinum Babies, focuses on expectant ladies who have hired Hot Moms Club co-founder Jessica Denay and other planning experts to deck out their nurseries and throw the poshest baby showers any mum has ever seen. At a time where many moms are pinching pennies, others are basking in Louis Vuitton diaper bags, Gucci crib shoes, infant diamond studded earrings and $40K customized rooms. It's a shock to the system for budget restricted mums like myself but it gave me some pretty good ideas for DIY projects at my own home. It might just become my Friday night guilty pleasure. Check out the clip and let me know if you'll be tuning in, too.

Desperate Housewives Rundown, "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:30:30 -0700

This week's episode of Desperate Housewives is all about judgment (though it's also a little bit about monkey attacks, but more on that later). The Bolen family continues with their shady behavior, while Julie is having some trouble adjusting to life on Wisteria Lane after her attack. Meanwhile, Gaby is accused of being a bad mom and Bree has a showdown with a motel housekeeper.

Ready to talk about it? Just read more.

Gaby: Gaby gets the comic relief once again this week as she tries to prove her mothering skills to the other snippy ladies at school. In order to regain their trust, she lures their children to Juanita's birthday party by pulling out all the stops. Of course things go awry when the trained monkey starts attacking the clown while Gaby is busy having drinks with Susan. In the end Carlos comforts her, but I have to admit - Gaby isn't exactly the greatest mom in the world. That said, Carlos isn't exactly a model parent either - where was he during his daughter's birthday party?

Susan: Susan and Katherine's rivalry reaches new heights this week, when the ladies have a mini-showdown at their neighborhood watch meeting. Susan is paranoid about Katherine coming on to Mike, and it culminates when Susan accidentally shoots Katherine through a window. Susan wouldn't be Susan without her usual clumsy antics, but couldn't she just ignore Katherine? Katherine seems so desperate, but Susan is kinda sinking to her level. Not to mention that calling Katherine a "loon" isn't exactly the best method of telling your friend that she probably needs to see a professional.

Angie: Most of Angie's problems take place without her even knowing it this week, as Danny gives the family gun to Julie for protection. Danny also confronts Dominic about his affair with Julie, and Dominic responds in a typically creepy manner, telling Danny to go ahead and spill to Angie. Angie keeps her distance for most of the episode, but then she plays a big factor in keeping Katherine crazy, to keep Katherine from turning in the Bolen family gun. I know Angie is a tough cookie, but somehow I feel like she may be the moral member of her family.

Lynette: Lynette's "twins" situation (both of 'em) is put on hold this week as she tries to help out her friend Mrs. McCluskey. First of all, McCluskey talking about her sex life - eeew. Lynette agrees to hire McCluskey's boyfriend Roy as the Scavo family handyman, but Roy won't stop going over Lynette's head and turning to Tom for ultimate decision-making. When Roy basically tells Lynette that she's emasculating her husband, Lynette loses it and fires him. But how sweet is Tom explaining to Roy that he lets Lynette have control so that she can feel safe? By far my favorite moment of the episode.

Bree: I thought Bree's storyline was kinda lame this week. The maid at the motel starts judging Bree's cheating ways, so of course Bree does all she can to defend herself. In the end, the housekeeper is just trying to warn Bree that she was once in her shoes, and that everything went awry. (Lesson to all: cheat on your husband and you'll end up a maid?) The maid does get one awesome one-liner: "Cheating's not a sin when you do it in pearls?"

What'd you think of this week's episode? Are Katherine and her crazy antics starting to bug you? Are you more creeped out by Dominick than ever? Let's dish in the comments!
