Happy MicheleandKevynday
A very happy birthday to two über-fab friends who are very dear to me: Michele and Kevyn.

Love you both so much!!!

I Dream of BB
Last night, Meghan and I had an incredibly inspiring conversation with Brigitte "BB" Bellsong. The moral: Life is short. Live it like YOU want to. Go for it now.

Cheers, BB! Thanks for the chat. We are totally enamored.

Friday Fabü
What would this column be without its annual Halloween suggestions? Snoresville, that’s what. This year, I have some extra-fab ones for you. Pour something potent and revel in the ghoulishness of it all. Let’s do this.
My absolute top pick for this year: Princess Beatrice at the royal wedding. That fallopian nightmare of a Philip Treacy fascinator demands absolute ridicule this Halloween.
Cover a base with blush-colored fabric. Get a roll of wide, wired ribbon from the craft store. Buy an oval Styrofoam hoop and some blush-toned spray paint while you’re there. Paint the base, hoop and ribbon separately. Let all pieces dry completely before assembling. Grab a reference photo, a glue gun and some pins and—presto!—you’re a royal tragedy. Don’t forget to go heavy on the eye makeup.

Fab Alert!
Rizzoli have published a new Christian Louboutin book, which chronicles his life and shoes. Complete with a fabulous pop-up, gorgeous fold-out cover and striking photos of shoes galore, the book shares a wealth of info about the iconic designer.
BABYMETAL!!!!
Introducing BABYMETAL, an offshoot of Japanese pop idol group, Sakura Gakuin.
It's sticky-sweet, girly sing-song rap backed by crunchy, dark metal sounds... and I can't lie, it's fairly fabulous in a kitschy sort of way.
I especially enjoy the beginning of the video, when the girls rise from the pseudo-satanic circle.

Boring Birthday
That is all.

Happy Simonlebonday
Simon Le Bon is 53. Happy birthday, Simon.
I have no beef with Simon. Frankly, however, if it was my top choice for Duran Duran birthdays, then we'd be celebrating Johntaylorday.
Perhaps we can just pretend it's Johntaylorday, yes? Ready? Go!
HAPPY JOHNTAYLORDAAAAY!!!! Wooooo! Confetti! Cake! Fabulousness! We love you, John Taylor! Wooooo!
Sorry, Simon. Better luck next birthday, sir.

Happy Early Halloween
Thanks to Meghan for digging up this classic.
Happy early Halloween from Lady Gaga and Sonny Bono, a.k.a. the Browns.
Blehhhh! Spinal chills whenever I look at this!
The freakies at Bit Rebels conceptualized these creepy real skin stiletto heel implants.

Vegas Pics
As promised, the Vegas pics.
Viva Las Vegas! A fine time was had by all. Cheers to new and old connections!
Happy Mahaliaday
Today is a big deal, dahling...
It's Mahalia Jackson's 100th birthday.
I just got a little misty-eyed. Just thinking about her makes my soul feel better. Hallelujah!
Happy, happy birthday, Mahalia.

I'm a Barbie!
... at least in my niece's eyes.
Apparently, little Ella recently saw a pic of the new Faith Hill and Tim McGraw Barbies and announced that they look like my beloved husband and I.
Ella, you simply rule. We love you, girl.
Double Birthday Supreme!
Embrace the fall-on-the-floor fabulousness of today's two birthday icons.
