Rihanna & Gucci Team Up...

I may be a little late with this, but I just found out that Rihanna has been tapped by Gucci to star in their first ad campaign for the children's charity, Tattoo Heart.

In a statement released by the label:

"when we decided to dedicate a full ad campaign, more than just creating products, to really come out and show our commitment to UNICEF, I felt a musician and a beautiful woman was the perfect icon for this campaign"

Rihanna in turn stated:

"It's an honour to represent Gucci." ...."we've come a long way from Miss Bisou to Gucci"

It's crazy, but just a few yrs ago, when her and Teairra Marie stepped on the scene, I would've bet all my beauty products Rihanna wouldn't last. My exact thoughts were..."she's outta here". Damn was I wrong. From Miss Bisou in '06 to Gucci in '08...you've come a looong way baby!!!


The campaign will be out in December with Rih in limited edition Gucci products for UNICEF. 25% of sales will go towards the charity.

Kim K's Falsies...

Our favorite socialite, we love to hate, tried out MAC's false eyelashes (No. 35) recently. I love them. I always thought she wore false eyelashes, but according to her, she only wears them at night when partying or out to events, not during the day. Which brings me to my small dilemma.

I've always wanted to try them, but felt like I would look silly rockin' them on a daily basis. Night time, absolutely, but daytime, everyday? Like, how will I look when I just need to run to the store in jeans, t-shirt and flip flops?

Do you wear false eyelashes on a daily basis? Let's discuss...
