Ladies: Wearing Red Equals Sexual Attraction


We know you caught wind of a recent study that focused on the power of red. Now, let's figure it out.

The immediate advice was this: If you want to be sexy, try red.

Apparently, many women in Hollywood and those in politics, already understand the effect this hot hue has on the male libido. Helen Mirren knows. As does Kate Beckinsale. Anne Hathaway. And even Alaska Governor Sarah Palin often wore a red jacket to campaign stops for Republican Presidential nominee John McCain. And whenever Barbara Walters hits a Broadway show, she dons a bright red jacket.

So, ladies: Code Red!!!!


What's so powerful about the color red for women??!!

According to a number of experiments on college students, psychologists learned that red has a strong influence on sexual attraction. In other words, the shade acts a 'primal mating signal.' Oh my!

When men were shown photos of women wearing red shirts or photos of women with red backgrounds, men went gaga! And they were even more than happy to spend more $$$$ on the women.

The study shows that the men were not aware of the effect that red had on them, and they did not rate these women as more kind, intelligent, or likable. But somehow or another, the men just knew they were hot for the ladies in hot, sizzling red.


The authors of this experiment also noted "preliminary evidence that a display of red on a man indeed increases his attractiveness to women." However, women did not score other women in red as more attractive.

So, the science here, is that the color signals a man/woman mating thing.

Red is always appropriate for the holidays. Why not add a little, and conduct your own sexy experiment.

How Nicole Kidman Tames Her Long Curly Hair

There are lots of pretty girls with curls in Hollywood. Debra Messing. Keri Russell. Andie McDowell. Minnie Driver. And of course, the elegant Aussie, Nicole Kidman.

We think curls are beautiful, but there are women who will tell you, that trying to tame a big mass of curls, and sometimes frizz, is a major undertaking. And don't even mention the humidity. Don't go there.

We did a little digging, and found 2 brands Nicole Kidman uses when she wants to create a sleek hairstyle. But do take note, this major movie star also embraces her curls. She switches up the hairdos often, and even goes from her natural light red hair to a blonde mass of locks.

1. Phyto Hair Care line. "PHYTO is a complete and comprehensive line of hair care products that employs the synergy of plants to treat a variety of hair types and conditions. PHYTO uses the most effective active ingredients available in the botanical world to maintain healthy-looking hair and reveal its natural beauty."

Try the Phytodéfrisant Relaxing Botanical Balm Professional, Size 5.9oz, $32.
You can check out the Phyto hair care line at http://www.beautysak.com/.























2. Bio Ionic Hair Care Products. Kerry Warn, Australia's own celebrity hair stylist (takes care of Nicole Kidman's locks), uses and recommends the Bio Ionic products to his clients.

"These products use the Trinity FX charge to shatter water molecule clusters by up to 10 times their size and keep them apart, allowing the properties to penetrate deep into the hair shaft." You end up with straight, silky, smooth hair.

Visit http://www.kabuki.com/, to see the line of Bio Ionic hair styling items.

Victoria's Bras Have A Nasty Little Secret? Formaldehyde?!


Pictured above is a Victoria's Secret model wearing an Angels Secret Embrace bra.

You can see why the underwear label is extremely popular. Their bras make extremely sexy cleavage.

But VS is in some hot water these days. A possible class action lawsuit could be on their doorstep for the holidays. It seems like their bras are being called 'dangerous.' Is Victoria's hiding a nasty little secret tucked away in the material of their bras?

Remember biology lab class dissecting frogs? Remember the horrible odor of formaldehyde?

That's the chemical that's alleged to have been found in two of their popular bra collections:
Angels Secret Embrace
Very Sexy Extreme Push-Up

And apparently, a number of women have stepped forward to say the bras are causing health problems. Itching. Swelling. Hives. And even rashes that 'lead to scarring.'

A 37-year-old woman, Roberta Ritter, is leading the charge after purchasing two of the bras last January----- a black satin Angels Secret Embrace and a pink satin Very Sexy push-up model -- for $42 apiece from the Victoria's Secret store at the Parmatown Mall in Ohio. Roberta made the talk show circuit with an appearance today on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'

Roberta claims it all began with an itch in her bosom. It continued for several days. The itch turned into a rash. And the rash turned into ugly, red hot welts. Very painful.

"I flipped out," Ritter said. "I knew it had to be the bra. I had perfectly shaped burns where the cups were."

A dermatologist told her the cause was likely formaldehyde. The chemical is often used as a preservative in fabrics to help retain their shapes. Hmmm. We never knew that. Did you?

Victoria's Secret is standing by their sexy cleavage-raising bras and issued this statement:
"We are sorry that a handful of people have had an issue and we want to help them determine the cause. While some people claim that formaldehyde is involved, we want to be clear that we do not use formaldehyde in these products."

Victoria's Secret says it will continue to sell the bras while the lawsuit is pending.

Ladies, until we settle this problem, wear your VS bra at your own risk.

New Holiday Gift-Giving Ideas For Him And Her



We know. No one wants to be rushed, but look----it's already November 8th. The holidays are upon us, and yes, times are tough and tight.

But we all, hopefully, embody the spirit of giving and celebration. So here are just a couple of ideas for your favorite hims and hers.

Fragrance. We each have our own distinct favorite cologne or perfume. And when the holidays roll upon us, well, we often think of beautiful, yummy-smelling fragrances.

You can't give a perfume to just anybody. Scent is individual. It's best to know that person when you want to give them the gift of scent. Some women, for example, are adventurous, in the fact that they love trying new fragrances. Others are almost 'married' to the same cologne, year after year. And some, wouldn't want you to even copy their scent within walking distance. In other words, "Girlfriend, don't wear my scent. That's my perfume."

Nordstorm's fine department stores are already showing off what's new in the fragrance aisle.

And here are two we think make some nice holiday gift-giving ideas for him and her:

Ralph Lauren. Timeless and classic. Ralph Lauren Men Holiday Coffret (49.50, 0.05 oz. each). Check out these handsome mini bottles of Double Black, Explorer, Polo, Polo Sport, and Polo Blue.

Valentino. Elegance and style. Valentino 'Rock 'n Rose' Holiday Gift Set ($68, 2 items). Eau de Parfum Spray 1.6 oz. and Body Lotion 3.4 oz. The 'Rock 'n Rose' fragrance is created as 'a perfect balance between edgy modernity and Valentino's elegance and tradition.'
