10 lbs Thinner, 10 Years Younger, 10 Times the Glam

Wanna look 10 pounds thinner, 10 years younger and 10 times more glamorous?

Apparently, there are two stylists who can help.

Ruth and Sara Levy have cooked up a new formula called, “The Fashion Code,” which they swear will work with anyone.

On Wednesday, the two fashion experts will launch the Code on “The Rachael Ray Show” – and on their new website, www.TheFashionCode.com .

“These days, there’s an instruction manual for everything – except how to dress,” says Sara. “Sure, there are tips and tricks for looking good, but nowhere is there an actual foolproof formula for dressing beautifully….until now.”

I’m gonna put this to the test when it launches. Stay tuned!

Fabulous Thought for Today

The women in videos and the stereotypes are just not the truth of who we are as a community. We already know that because we are living these lives every single day. It’s nice to have this reminder in the White House, but I would say we don’t need it…all you need to do is look around your own community and you will see this same family in churches and in schools. – Michelle Obama (Essence Magazine, May 2009 Issue)

The 80′s and 90′s are back!

And to prove the point, Reebok has launched the Reebok Classic Remix collection.

Trying to make the launch successful, they’ve tapped emerging hip-hop artists to re-interpret original, influential 80′s or 90′s songs.

The athletic brand is redistributing the songs exclusively with the purchase of styles from the Reebok Classic Remix collection.

Last month, the collection launched with Kidz In The Hall re-interpreting “I Got It Made” by Special Ed.

Next up is Kid Sister (Downtown Music) re-interpreting “I’ll House You” by Jungle Brothers.

Check out more from the Reebok Classic Remix collection.

The First Lady’s been covering magazine after magazine, but is it profiting the media outlets?

“Advertising Age” writers suggest this may not necessarily be so.

“Magazines Fuss Over First Lady, but Newsstand Sales Are Mixed,” noted the online marketing magazine, in a report published this week.

The writers also pointed to Ebony and Essence magazines, which docked higher sales with Mrs. Obama on the cover.

However, Vogue noted it was still to early to indicate how many copies their Michelle O.-covered issue sold.

Fabulous Thought for Today

I’m almost never impressed by a singular piece. For me it’s about the whole look, the art. I don’t want to wear something just because it’s pretty. – Lady Gaga
