The Barbie suite at the Palms Hotel

Well, I know where I want to spend my next vacation! The Palms Hotel is known for partying and it’s unique suites. To continue Barbie’s 50th Anniversary celebration, the Palms hotel has created the ultimate Barbie Suite. The 2,350 square foot suite can hold up to 50 of your friends and is filled with Barbie branding. There are three queen-sized beds, an extra-large Jacuzzi, two-way fireplace, and tons of classic Barbie items and Barbie artwork.
Ever dreamed of living in Barbie’s Malibu Dream House? If so, now is your chance! Barbie has moved some of her favorite things from her Malibu pad (home of Barbie’s 50th Birthday Bash) to The Palms so girls of all ages can experience the fantasy and fun of Barbie’s lifestyle.
Designed by famed "Happy Chic" interior designer Jonathan Adler, this suite is the ultimate bachelorette pad! Featuring custom details that celebrate Barbie's pink panache, such as skirted, corseted, lace-up “dress” chairs, a sunburst mirror made from 65 Barbie® dolls and custom wall coverings in Barbie’s signature patterns, this suite lets guests live it up in true Barbie style!
Now if only the Palms would open a Hello Kitty Suite.

Where the Wild things Are - Karen O!

Awe, this is an instant classic, I knew from the commercial! I was teary eyed from the beginning, I am not sure why it struck such a chord, but it did. I loved Max, the weird loner boy at the heart of the story. This is a story about a lonely kid whose parents adore him but are just way too busy for him. Sound familiar? So Max finds his own world in the mix of a bunch of monsters, p.s. I love Carol too, aka Tony Soprano!

By the way the sound track is amazing, especially with last week's release of "All Is Love," the first single from the film's soundtrack by Karen O and the Kids on both MySpace and iTunes.
And now, the soundtrack -- featuring Karen O's collaborations with Deerhunter's Bradford Cox, Yeah Yeah Yeahs bandmates Nick Zinner and Brian Chase, the Dead Weather's Dean Fertita, and many more ...

NYLON magazine offers FREE stuff!

If you not familiar with NYLON magazine and you are really into fashion, beauty, music and current pop culture, then I suggest you run immediately to your news stand and grab a copy. Once you get a copy, you will realize why I subscribe, it comes automatically without worry and generally subscribers get their copies first, so you will be the first one to know about all the cool stuff! They often have really cool peeps on the cover and reviews of new music, we all might want to know about. Medusa's Make-Up has even had a few appearances from time to time, if I don't mind to brag a little!

I just noticed that they are currently running a subscription special, either get a free t-shirt or get free makeup. Either one sounds great. (1) year is $19.95 (50% off) and I am not getting paid to tell you about it either! http://www.nylonmag.com/

Pumpkin Muffins!

OK, so I do not condone these, they are fattening, full of sugar etc. but I cannot resist the goodness of pumpkin flavored treats about this time of year. So today I walked to work. It's about a 20 minute walk, and half way there, I pass a dunkin donuts, I thought, I wonder if they are selling those delicious Pumpkin muffins... sure enough they were and with a hot cup of joe, I was ready to fill all those Halloween internet orders with highly pigmented eye dust and glitter! I wonder if I should walk to work tomorrow too?

Whiten Your Teeth the Natural Way

The secret to this inexpensive home whitening method is malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser, buffing away stains from coffee, red wine, and dark sodas. While it’s no replacement for a bleaching treatment at your dentist’s office, “this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your smile,” says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York. “Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth.”

You need:
1 ripe strawberry
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) Carrel says you can apply once a week.
