Some models have natural beauty and others require a cakeload of make up and hair work as evident in the before and after photographs of these Gucci models. It reminds me of the Rita Hayworth quote: "They go to bed with Gilda; they wake up with me." She also apparently changed the color of her hair eight different times for eight movies.
Trend observers have noticed an increasing number of men sporting leggings or "meggings" in the streets. Despite this look's popularity among star basketball players in the NBA, this blogger will wait for the next bus on this particular fashion line.
YMMV with some of the photos, but Velocouture is a Flickr pool of well dressed bicyclists, as well as some people wearing outfits that match their two-wheeled rides. As Kottke noted New York Times street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham also jumped on the velocouture trend as well.

10 of the world's most extreme diamond bling.
The Ocean Dream DiamondThe Ocean Dream may be small - a mere 5.51 carats - but it’s the only diamond in the world of its kind. No other diamond is known to naturally possess a blue-green hue like this one. The color is thought to have come from being exposed to natural radiation in Central Africa for thousands of years.
