Two More Reasons To Avoid Louis Vuitton Bags

Seriously.

Just like most of us, I like exquisitely made hand bags and own a couple. But I can't be the only one who thinks anything with such a huge flashy logo is nothing but tacky. Add to that the particular celebs who seem to favor these, and you get something that is never making it into my wish list.

They makes me want to go on an Etsy shopping spree.

There's Something About...

...Paris
While I don't like her dress and those lip injections should be illegal, I don't hate the way she looks here. Her hair is nice and the hat and jacket actually work somehow. Clearly, I need my head examined.


...Gwen
A much more likable celeb, who always seems to be having fun with her little boy. I love Gwen's retro touch and the whole outfit. And she can pull off a red lipstick better than anyone.

Lessons I've learned from celebrities: How not to wear a red lipstick

Neither your teeth nor a pink dress go well with bright red lipstick, as Natalie Portman (otherwise gorgeous) and Paris Hilton (not so much) had to learn the hard way.

'Tis the Season to Look Silly

It's the time of the year we get to see celebrities in their Halloween costumes (which mostly means Paris Hilton slutting things up all over L.A.). The following picture isn't actually from a Halloween party, despite Linda Evengelista's goth Big Bird dress and Marc Jacobs' blue hair. That's how they appeared last night at a Louis Vuitton event.

Nobody wants to read another thing about Paris Hilton, I know. But this is a beauty-related story, so you'll have to forgive me.

Twenty three days in county jail, a psychological breakdown and a spiritual awakening didn't seem to make Paris Hilton look half as bad as, say, Britney Spears on an average day. Actually, I thought that her almost makeup-free (she seems to be wearing lip and cheek color) look from Monday night was quite nice.

She, however, begs to differ. TMZ posted this story and pictures earlier. It looks like Paris is getting a professional makeover. Other than the fake lashes what I see in his see-through bag are several Benefit Cosmetics items and a tube of Maybelline Great Lash mascara (If that's not a huge endorsment, I don't know what is). There's a bottle of BeneTint (no wonder that it doesn't look right on me. Paris and I don't share the same skin tone) and a box of Hoola Bronzer.

I wonder what's in the train cases the guy is carrying.

This has nothing to do with beauty, fashion or things that smell good. Quite the opposite, actually. But, since everyone and their mostly-blind grandma are reading the gossip blogs and talking about Britney, here's my take on this:

If there is one thing that someone who is in the middle of a custody battle shouldn't be doing, is hanging out with Paris Hilton. At this point, even the judge has already seen more of Britney than he or she has ever wanted to, and it ain't pretty.

(For those who are just emerging from under their nicely-scented rocks, the links on the right to The Superficial and A Socialite's Life would give you enough material to stay amused for a couple of hours. I'm not taking responsibility to brain cells dying unexpectedly).

Maybe the nice people at Victoria's Secret should start a new campaign: Bring the Panties Back! The girl is doing them a great service.
