How to Shop for a Husband

How-To-Shop-for-a-husband

According to Fashion Week Daily, tomorrow from 6 to 9 p.m., there’ll be a book launch celebration in NYC.

It’s linked to “How to Shop for a Husband,” written by Janice Lieberman, who you may see on NBC’s “Today”  as a consumer correspondent from time to time.

Of course the title grabbed me and I had to check it out.

According to publishers Macmillan,

Janice Lieberman brings her vast shopping expertise as well as her personal knowledge of the dating marketplace together to tell you how to shop for the most important “purchase” of your life—your spouse.How to Shop for a Husband uses smart shopping principles to formulate rules that will help women select a spouse and “close the deal.” This savvy shopper’s guide provides a checklist all women can use in their hunt for the ultimate bargain, and also highlights potential pitfalls.

If you’re at all interested in learning how to shop for a husband, you may also want to preview the book and take a read of the first chapter.

Lifetime Launches Souped-Up Project Runway Site

LIFETIME PROJECT RUNWAY SHOW SITE

Lifetime sure is making a big fuss about “Project Runway” being added to its lineup.

Today the network company announced the launch of the show’s web site, which according to them, engages fans in an interactive way.

In addition, the site brings five features, some of which (I have to admit) outshine what was offered on Bravotv.com.

  • HOME VISITS: The Project Runway designers provide tours of where they live, work and create – be it their own home, a room at their parents’ house or their car.
  • CLOSET TOURS: See the outfits that inspire the designers, what they will bring to wear on season six and garments they’ve designed in the past.
  • FASHION TIPS: Learn each designer’s go-to fashion tip – from flip-flops to lingerie.
  • CASTING SESSION: Find out how each designer got on the show – what designs they showed the judges and how they reacted when they were given the good news.
  • HOME VIDEO: Watch the self-made video the 16 designers submitted to Project Runway’s producers as part of their applications for the show.

In addition, Lifetime is heralding the launch of the “Project Runway Designer Portfolio” which is supposed to spotlight the designers’ works and allow Runway fans  to “immerse themselves in each designer’s pre-Runway portfolio and inspirations.”

Celebs Brighten Up Harry Potter Premiere Red Carpet

I’ve been browsing the web checking out pics from the New York premiere of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York.

As expected, some celebs showed up in shimmery, formal ensembles, typical of red carpet fashion.

But Ashanti and Vanessa Williams got my attention with their arrival looks — cool and laid back with a splash of bright color just right for summer.

I like.
