Jen Aniston Chops Off Trademark Locks After Babs Streisand Copies Her Long Do?!
OMG!! Jennifer Aniston, what have you done to your gorgeous signature locks??!!
It has taken us a couple of days to mull over this one. First, let's look at the hair facts:
1. Jen has recently turned 42-years-old.
2. The former 'Friends' star has been out promoting her new movie, 'Just Go with it.' And it was there in Spain, that we all caught sight of the new Jennifer Aniston do. The actress appeared on the TV show “El Hormiguero” Feb. 22, 2011 in Madrid for her new movie, with the new blonder, long bob.
This haircut looks similar to the one she got while married to Brad Pitt. And briefly after that shorter do, the golden couple had announced their divorce. Ouch!
Look at Ashlee Simpson. As soon as she rocked that cute, very blonde pixie cut, she and Pete Wentz announced their impending split.
So, what's that have to do with a new hairstyle?
In our humble opinion, plenty. Most women do NOT chop off their hair for little reason. When you're losing at least several inches, there is an explanation for it. Jennifer Love Hewitt had hers cut into a similar long bob, after breaking up with Jason Kennedy.
Then, a new and very different haircut means there is change of some kind on the horizon? Yes, we seem to think so. Maybe turning 42, has given the popular movie actress some new thoughts on where she wants her life to go, and so forth.
We also think that the mere sight of legendary singer Barbara Streisand performing at the recent Grammy Awards 2011, wearing a copy-cat long hair Jennifer Aniston do might have something to do with it.
Jennifer had done a photo lay-out several months ago in Harper's Bazaar, dressed to look like Barbara Streisand, whom she admires greatly. The photos were beautiful, and Jennifer Anistonreally resembled a young Barbara Streisand.
The famous singer was quite impressed with Jennifer and the wonderful photo tribute So much so, that Babs has been trying hard to look exactly like Jennifer Aniston these days. Just look at the photos of Babs trying to rock the golden trademark locks of the former 'Friends' beauty.
Are we on to something?
We're not crazy about Jennifer Aniston's new long, blonder bob. It just doesn't look right. The color is to bright, the style not as attractive for her strong jaw, and pretty-girl-next-door looks.
We're baffled. How about you?

Gwyneth And Jessica Flying With Long Feather Earrings Trend: How About You?
You either love these sexy, birds-of-a-feather chandeliers, or you really don't.
We happen to love them, but then again, we've never met a pair of chandeliers we didn't like.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Biel are just two of the lovely celebrities spotted flying with this earrings trend. Gwyneth rocked these hot pink feathers by New York City-based designer Wilfredo Rosario at the recent Grammy Awards show. These neon beauties featured white gold, diamonds, pink tourmaline and couture feather earrings from his Fall 2011 Collection. We thought at first, that Gwyneth merely had a few pink-colored extensions in her hair.
Jessica Biel wore a much quieter color of long feathers with her casual look. Very nice.
It's a Native American style, and we have always admired the beauty of the culture.
We fell in love with these super long feather earrings. Check out the photo below: These are gorgeous. Of course, you shouldn't wear them at the office, but these feather earrings definitely make a fashion statement. And these chandeliers are from the Faerie-Tails online shopping site.
The Faerie-Tails artisan Whisper Decor, hand crafted these in Chicago, and shares a portion of the proceeds with non-profit organizations. Gotta love that.
You can find many unique and attractive pairs of long feather earrings in boutiques and shopping websites. Why not get in on another hot trend in 2011!

Wet N Wild Debuts Very Inexpensive Eyelash-Enhancing Serum: Can Cheap Work?
Eyelash-enhancing serum for only $6.99?!
Hmmm. Can cheap work?
When it comes to beauty and skin care products, we have found through much trial and error, that, yes---cheap can work. And sometimes, very inexpensive makeup/skin care can out-perform a higher-priced challenger.
But, you will never know, unless you try it for yourself.
Let's look at Wet n Wild's new MegaLash Clinical Serum ($6.99, at drugstores). It claims to give you longer, thicker, fuller lashes in 4 weeks. No prescription. No side-effects. No great hit to your wallet.
All you have to do, is apply it on lashes 2x a day in the morning and at night.
So.....can this stuff really work? We're not sure, because we haven't purchased it yet. But if we were looking for some help in the eyelash department, we would definitely grab a tube. And if it didn't deliver results, well, we would only be out $6.99. Not a big deal. And if the Wet N Wild MegaLash Clinical Serum did give us longer, thicker, fuller lashes, then what a super beauty bargain that would be.

Another How-To book by Suzanne Somers?!
Yes, and this one is called Sexy Forever. We love the title, and the book tells you how to 'shed toxins and balance your hormones to fight fat after 40.
Hey, don't knock it, until you've read it. Sixty-something Suzanne Somers has had 10 books reach the NY Times bestseller list. So, the woman knows how to grab the attention of an audience.

The former actress-turned author has been promoting her new book on television shows like Today, where she claims 4 factors get in the way of weight loss after 40.
Suzanne says that there are toxic chemicals everywhere, and these are stored in our fat deposits. Imbalanced hormones, which occur as we get older, are also a factor, as well as stomach disturbances. The 4th factor comes down to food intolerances, because we aren't able to properly process these.
In the book, she tells you how to re-charge your metabolism and de-toxify your life. And don't forget the Sexy Forever shop. You can buy supplements, organic skin care products, appetite control patch, low glycemic sweetener, and more.

Will You Go Citrus This Spring With Flirty Orange Lipstick Trend?
We can almost smell the beauty of all things Spring. March is almost here, so let's take a look at one of the hot beauty trends for the warmer days of 2011.
Orange lipstick. And keep it matte, ladies. Even dusting a little translucent powder on top of the lipstick, does the trick. Check out one of the models wearing the striking shade at Marc Jacobs' show.
Don't knock it, until you've tried a shade or two. Makeup artists say that fun and flirty orange lips make your eyes pop and compliment every skin tone. We like that!
There are tons of orange lipsticks out there. Some are very bold, and others, a bit more demure. You don't have to spend $50 for a tube to get your citrus-fix. If you're not sure about liking orange lipstick, why not go cheap and try Milani's Mandarina. Very pretty. Very flattering tangerine. Quite opaque And just $4.99 a tube.
Like red, you have to dare to wear a shade of orange. We think it looks best with a clean face, or simple minimal makeup.
Let us know what you think of Spring's flirty orange lipstick.
