I was surfing one of my favourite British sites when I saw this feature comparing the Goddess of Italian fashion to the spoof character ‘Madga’ from the movie ‘Something About Mary’.
I know that Donatella loves her long-long-bleach-blond extensions and wigs and she loves her dark skin … both which (in my opinion) age her terribly.
I’ve only seen Donatella Versace dressed in one of her mega-expensive coutures and I’ve never seen her in a bikini until recently. The photos from Daily Mail are simply frightening.
I know Donatella is maybe not very fluent in English, but I refuse to believe that Italian magazines have not been pleading Italian women to reduce their sun exposure to avoid having that awful leather-like skin or worst skin cancer.

Got resolutions to lose weight and make this the best year of your life?
What are your New Year’s Resolutions and how do you intend on keeping them for the entire year?
Do you want to lose ten pounds in ten weeks? If that’s the case, you’ll only be successful once you’ve been able to understand what behaviors you need to adopt immediately that’ll lead to your desired weight.
Unless you have clear and precise goals that are well defined like:
* I will eat vegetables with every meal.
* I will cut out fast foods and keep it as a weekly “event” instead of a daily meal.

Happy New Year 2009: counting your blessings in difficult times
I think 2008 was such a difficult year for most people in a way that’s unparalleled in recent history.
It didn’t matter if you were directly affected by the subprime mortgages, earth quakes, job cuts, terrorist attacks, tumbling stocks or any other worldwide dramatic event, the mere fact of watching other people go through difficult times affects you.
I know that watching people losing their homes, jobs, life savings or retirement money has really made me reflect on my own good fortune. I think it’s so easy to focus on what we don’t have in times like these and forget what we do have.

Kumari’s is having a massive sale on jewellery, pashminas and cashmere sweaters!
***This post will make a lot of sense to anyone living in Toronto***
I know that we’re facing some difficult financial times and a lot of us have less disposable income or we’re simply not shopping as much. That said, I’ve noticed lately some really insane sales where prices are slashed so much, it seems they are giving the merchandise away.
This afternoon, I was at a pastry shop when I noticed a woman with three boxes of shoes. I quickly glance at the bag she was carrying and made my way to that shoe store. Now, I don’t need shoes and I had no intentions on buying shoes, but I do like to look.
The shoe store didn’t have anything to write home about because there is no way I’ll ever be caught walking in four inch heels. As I was making my way to another appointment, I noticed that Kumari’s (one of my favourite stores in city because it’s such a pretty store filled with items you find no where else), on Cumberland in Yorkville, was having a sale.
