Braun watches are back and better than ever. Clean style, well-made, low-key... in short: fabulous. Minimalist timepiece heaven.
Sheen: Down One Goddess

Headline of the Day
Happy Easter!
Behold! A sweet Easter lamb cake from the Czech Republic.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say that cake looks a lot like Mary Poppins.
At any rate, Happy Easter to those who are into Easter.
Happy Birth...haaay, gurrrl!
Many fabulistas are reveling in that fact that these two share the same birthday:
Jean-Paul Gaultier (59)
Babs (69)
Good Friday? Not for Lindsay Lohan.
Yesterday was not good to Lindsay Lohan.
She was sentenced to 120 days in jail for probation violation. Yikes. She was also sentenced to 480 hours of community service. Double yikes. 360 of those hours will be completed at the Downtown Women's Center, so she can--hopefully--learn just how good she has it. The remaining 120 hours will be served at the L.A. County Morgue. Triple yikes.
Bad Friday, girl.
Ow.
At least 24 hardcore--er, devout, that is--Filipinos from the Pampanga and Bulacan provinces engaged in a graphic Good Friday crucifixion reenactment yesterday, going so far as to actually have nails driven into their hands and feet.
Orbi Birthday
It's Roy Orbison's 75th birthday. Thanks for the music, you fierce muthaf**ka. We miss you.

Happy birthday, awesome gentlemen.
Friday Fabü
I am obsessed with Jones Art Glass jewelry and home décor at Greymatter Glass Studio (2836 Vassar NE, 505.217.8535). For nearly a decade, lampworker/glassblower Rashan Omari Jones has handcrafted one-of-a-kind pieces that make incredible keepsakes and gifts. These are true conversation pieces. Whenever I wear my Jones Art Glass pendant, it garners comments.
Jones’ home décor collection includes decorative and functional wall hangings, paperweights and — my favorite — gorgeous perfume bottles. “Each one is a labor of love,” Jones said of the bottles in a recent interview. “I work almost exclusively with colors I see here in the desert Southwest: Sandia purples, mesa sandstone browns, rich bosque greens and vivid ‘Burque sky blues.”
Seksi side note: If you want to present the classiest gift at the bachelor/ette party, consider an item from Jones’ custom adult line, Aphrodite Glass, which, according to Jones, “Emphasizes pleasure and discretion in a city horribly lacking in both.”

Fab Alert!
If your best friend tells you hair coloring is bad for your hair, maybe she's not your best friend.
Or maybe she just doesn't know any better.
In any case, if you take her word for it, you're a loser.
Bwaaahahaha!
My Mother Met a Jaguar Today
My mother, Kathy Azar-Masica, works at the Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center of New Mexico. Today, one of the Rio Grande Zoo's residents, Manchas, a 13-year-old jaguar, was brought in for--ironically--a CAT scan to diagnose lower back problems.
Pretty cool, no? That's my dear mother in the last shot. Thanks for the awesome pics, Mom!
It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Super Gonorrhea!
Researchers warn that gonorrhea is increasingly developing resistance to all of the antibiotics we have to treat it in the U.S., according to a Yahoo! News report. This could cause the sexually-transmitted disease to develop into a (cue 'dun-dun-dun!' doom music)... superbug. This will, of course, make it very difficult to control the disease. Yikes.
For your viewing pleasure, here's über-hawt Dr. Savage (name = five stars) somewhat awkwardly explaining gonorrhea symptoms. Enjoy! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZIMx0NT16c]
Will Galliano Head Gianfranco Ferre?
According to New York Magazine, Rumors are circulating that John Galliano might be tapped as the new head designer at Gianfranco Ferre, as Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi were just dismissed from the company due to poor sales. This could get interesting, dahling.
Next Season of Jersey Shore Will Probably Suck
Why? Because the mayor is a jackass.
Soon, the cast of Jersey Shore will be in Florence, Italy, to film next season's show. Unfortunately, Mayor Matteo Renzi established some ridiculously-stringent rules that almost guarantee a sucky season.
"I will not allow them to use the Palazzo Vecchio or other historic buildings," Renzi said in an Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera, interview yesterday, "but I cannot ban them from using our city as a set."
Among his other rules:
No shooting in bars, clubs or any place that promotes the reckless consumption of alcohol.
The cast is prohibited from drinking in public on camera.
Florence may not be portrayed as a drinking town.
The cast must interact with authentic Italian people in authentic cultural settings -- thus avoiding the city's hordes of tourists and students.
WTF, mayor!?! We have zero interest in watching Snooki and Co. stroll lucidly along the viali, visit galleries and trattorias (sans vino, of course) and do whatever other boring-ass stuff that falls within your permissible guidelines.
Yawnsville! Take the show somewhere else, MTV. Wait, I have an idea: why don't you film it on the Jersey friggin' shore?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it... bitches.
I am feeling pretty tough. Channeling Sammi Sweetheart.
Iggy Birthday
He's 64 and more fabulous than ever.

Lung Resurrection
Good news: I'm quitting smoking cigarettes on Easter. Five stars. Though I'm not religious, it seems a good quit day. Symbolism, dahling.
"The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over, no matter what my circumstances." ~Robert Flatt
