SNAPSHOT: Grunge Goddesses

THE SCOOP: For her Spring 2010 collection, Julie Haus drew inspiration from Charlie Chaplin and his film “The Circus.” The subtle, vintage-like collection provided the perfect backdrop for an undone, yet sexy look.Lucero conceptualized a look where all the focus was on the eyes. Lucero brought in a bit of spring to a predominately natural face with a heavy, purple eye. “Schleping in color highlights the natural shadows without looking overdone and gives a hint of a smoky eye,” she said. Lippmann continued the grunge appeal by selecting a dark, metal nail lacquer she created with rocker Pat Benatar. Blandi molded the models’ hair into a dirty-clean tussle that he felt was more “avante-garde” than the wet, sleek looks we’ve seen on other runways. Blandi played up the hair’s natural texture by mixing polishing creme and dry shampoo to round out the the subdued, yet sexy look.

GET THE LOOK – MAKEUP: All by Stila. Apply a minimal amount of Natural Finish Oil-Free Makeup and Perfecting Concealer where needed. Sweep lids with Eye Shadow in Bouquet as a base and then brush Eye Shadow in Pigalle on top. To create that rich, purple tone, use the Montemarte Eye Shadow Quad. Layer lashes with Major Lash Mascara in Black or Brown for a clumpy effect and smooth Perfecting Concealer onto lips with a simple balm to complete.

GET THE LOOK – HAIR: All by Oscar Blandi. Use Jasmine Protein Mist to prep the hair. Diffuse. Mix Seta Silk Polishing Creme and Pronto Dry Shampoo to create a strong, piecey look. And finish with Lacca Hairspray for volume and hold.

GET THE LOOK – NAILS: All by Lippmann Collection. File nails down to create a round tip. Apply one coat of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and allow time to dry before smudging on a second layer.

Ann Taylor Celebrates New Look; Rachel Bilson Talks Accessories

Break out the party hats -- Ann Taylor is one-year new!

Since this was as good a time as ever, the company threw a blowout bash to celebrate its fresh, kind-of-hip status.

With models sporting the Fall 2010 collection, the lobby of Manhattan's uber-cool Ace Hotel was transformed into a lounge filled with hipsters, stunning women, and a few hot celebs ("Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks, her actor husband Geoffrey Arend, and former "OC" star Rachel Bilson).

"I have a vision of the Ann Taylor woman going to Paris and being inspired and influenced by all these new buildings and the chicness of the Parisian women," the brand's head designer, Lisa Axelson, told StyleList.

"Being opened up to a new culture inspires you to think a little differently," which is not unlike the place Axelson is at with the Ann Taylor brand.

"We have one foot rooted soundly in our history, but we're starting to edge forward with fashion and modernism. I like the clash and tension in the building that's going on."

Taking a break from the film-festival circuit, where she's promoting indie flick "Waiting for Forever," Bilson drank in the fashion scene.

The actress was clad in chic fringed short-shorts with an Ann Taylor cardigan and assorted Ann Taylor accessories, including a crystal-studded belt (worn as a necklace).

"I'm a huge clothes person and I'm an even bigger accessories person," Bilson told StyleList. "The accessories are just amazing," she said, gesturing to her belt/necklace. "I'm very excited to start wearing them."

As the evening wore on, singer V.V. Brown took over the room and serenaded the crowd with her dulcet tones. It was not a bad place to be.

Meanwhile, read about how LL Bean is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a sleek new take on longstanding favorites.

vplh ‘Project Runway’ Recap – Maternity Wear Chall

14th April 2010 by admin

If nothing else, episode 2 of “Project Runway” Season 6 drove home the message that conceptual and bizarre don’t make for a winning combination. And, so far, the losers this season are more memorable than the winners.

Designers were charged with making a chic maternity look for actress/supermodel/guest judge Rebecca Romijn, who at the time of filming was very pregnant with twin girls. It was a challenge that baffled many of the remaining 15 designers — and yielded widely varying results.

On the heels of out-there Ari Fisher’s elimination last week, New Yorker Malvin Vien was briskly booted from the show for his mother-hen-and-egg outfit: a black silk organza tunic topped by a second yolk-colored one.

While the judges, including special guests Romijn and designer Monique Lhuillier, did admit he had a concept, Nina Garcia dubbed it, “bizarre” — definitely the kiss of death. Viewers were clued into Vien’s fate when the designer said that he was making “jodhpur-like chicken thighs.”

More surprising was that Mitchell Hall squeaked through yet again, landing in the bottom two for the second episode in a row. Heidi Klum warned him to step up his game. His design, a too-tight T-shirt topping badly constructed shapelessly short-shorts was “not acceptable.” “We were not impressed by you,” Klum declared.

Winner Shirin Askari turned out an elegant wine-colored jersey dress with sweet tucks around the waistline paired with a lovely Fifties-style charcoal coat. It was a look that judges deemed extremely wearable, pregnant or not.

Louise Black’s deep burgundy-red satin frock was stunning in its details — hand-dyed lace insert and lingerie-style couture touches — and was pronounced “very well executed.” Althea Harper’s evening-length, midnight blue jersey gown, with a flattering criss-crossed racing-stripe bodice was considered “perfect.” Both Romijn and guest judge/ designer Lhuillier heartily approved.

Back in the workroom, memorable moments included designers awkwardly grappling with massive belly-pillows; trying to attach them to the dress forms and models. And catty remarks were on the upswing, including when Qristyl Frazier quipped about Johnny Sakalis print bolero jacket: “Rebecca’s not going to wear that; she’s not even going to dust in that jacket.”

The competition gets stiffer and, amazingly, Mitchell mysteriously remains. See who goes next week!

Tune in Thursdays at 10pm ET/PT on Lifetime, then visit us for the recap.

Bdmz Ungültige Baugenehmigung- Baustopp für E.ON

06th April 2010 by admin

Im nordrhein-westf?lischen Datteln baut e.on ein riesiges Kraftwerk für 1,2 Milliarden Euro, weit über 1000 Menschen arbeiten jeden Tag an dem Mammutprojekt, das im Jahr 2011 in Betrieb genommen werden soll – so weit der Plan des Energiekonzerns. Doch jetzt droht die Katastrophe: Ein Baustopp steht an, m?glicherweise muss sogar alles wieder abgerissen werden.

Ungültige Baugenehmigung: Baustopp für E.ON-Kraftwerk

Immer lauter werden die Stimmen, die mehr Wettbewerb auf dem Strommarkt fordern, immer mehr Menschen kehren den gro?en Versorgern den Rücken und wechseln. Davon ist auch e.on betroffen, doch der Konzern hat im Moment noch ein ganz anderes Problem: In Nordrhein-Westfalen k?nnte ein bereits im Bau befindliches Kohlekraftwerk demn?chst wieder abgerissen werden – denn die Baugenehmigung fehlt.

Wie das Oberverwaltungsgericht Münster in der vergangenen Woche festgestellt hatte, seien Kühlturm und Kessel zu nah an einer Wohnsiedlung errichtet worden. Das Projekt versto?e gegen die nordrhein-westf?lische Landesplanung, und es l?ge keine gültige Baugenehmigung vor. Heute will der Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz (BUND) den sofortigen Baustopp beantragen. Wenn es ganz hart für e.on kommt, muss der Konzern die bereits fertigen Rohbauten abrei?en und das Grundstück renaturieren. Doch selbst wenn es nicht zum Abriss kommt, so wird sich zumindest die Inbetriebnahme deutlich verz?gern – sollte e.on vor Gericht gehen und dort Erfolg haben, wird es dennoch Monate oder gar Jahre dauern, bis die Bauarbeiten wieder aufgenommen werden k?nnen.

Vielleicht ist e.on nicht der einzige Leidtragende in der Geschichte – auch die Stadt Datteln k?nnte ?rger bekommen, denn sie ist nicht ganz unschuldig an der ungültigen Baugenehmigung. Ein Standort für das Kraftwerk war n?mlich genehmigt, doch der Platz schien nicht zu reichen. Also genehmigte die Stadt eben einmal die Entfernung einiger st?render B?ume und die Errichtung des Kohlekessels an dieser Stelle. Wenn e.on zu dem Schluss kommen sollte, dass eigentlich die Stadt an der ganzen Misere schuld ist und für den Schaden haften soll, k?nnte es für das 36.000 Einwohner-?rtchen unangenehm werden.

Nxpw Unerwünschtes Graffiti muss vom Vermieter be

06th April 2010 by admin

Nach Ansicht des Amtsgericht Tempelhof-Kreuzberg ist ein unerwünschtes Graffiti ein Mangel an der Mietsache und muss vom Vermieter beseitigt werden. Eine Mieterin hatte verlangt, da? die gro?fl?chige Gaffiti-Verzierung von Wand, Klingelschildern und Haustür entfernt wird.

Graffiti an der Hauswand muss vom Vermieter beseitigt werden.

Der Vermieter hatte argumentiert, da? in Kreuzberg fast jedes Haus beschmiert sei. Diese pauschale Begründung überzeugte das Gericht jedoch nicht, auch bei einer relativ günstigen Miete müsse der Vermieter seiner Instandsetzungspflicht nachkommen. Allerdings k?nne er die Kosten für die Reinigung der Wand von der ungewollten Verzierung als Hausreinigungskosten auf den Mieter umlegen – was in Kreuzberg auf die Dauer eine teure Angelegenheit werden kann.

Unerwünschtes Graffiti muss vom Vermieter beseitigt werden

Sch?nheit liegt im Auge des Betrachters und Kunst ist Geschmackssache. Diese beiden F?lle für das Phrasenschwein gelten insbesondere für Graffiti, denn w?hrend ein ?Tag“ (unterschriftenartiges Kürzel) für manche ein wertvolles Statussymbol im ?Feindesgebiet“ darstellt, ist er für andere schlicht eine verschandelnde Schmiererei – und die muss vom Vermieter entfernt werden, wenn es der Mieter verlangt.

owsb Dealing with Iran’s Hardliners_690

03rd April 2010 by admin

Rapid changes brought about as a result of the Majles election and Iran’s growing position in Iraq will continue to accelerate as Iraqis gear up for October 2008 provincial elections, the United States elects a new president in November 2008, and Iranians prepare to elect a new president in summer 2009. These changes will significantly affect U.S. policy regarding Iran no matter which candidate is elected president. The new U.S. president will have to maneuver carefully to resolve outstanding issues with Iran, including Iran’s nuclear program, the stabilization of Iraq, combating terrorism, the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and others.

The outcome of the Majles election is clear. The real winner is the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. But the best way to deal with Iran’s nuclear program -and a cluster of other issues including Iraq -remains the same: negotiations.

Dealing with Iran's Hardliners

Last month in Iran, supporters of a long-shot parliamentary candidate stuck campaign materials to a handful of chickens and set them loose in the village in what a local official called “a new way to campaign.” Though the chickens were an innovative way to remind voters that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad failed to deliver on his campaign promise to put a chicken in every pot, this candidate and others were forced to find obscure ways to reach voters because they were prohibited from putting their faces on campaign materials. Because of this and other arbitrary election rules, the large margins of victory by conservative hardliners in the March 14 election came as no surprise.

The only way for the United States to accomplish those goals is through unconditional negotiations. The United States faces the choice of continuing the foreign policy of brinkmanship or choosing a policy of peace. For three decades, the United States has chosen policies of isolation and sanctions rather than cooperation. As a result, Iran has demonstrated the ways it can hurt the United States in Iraq and maintain military confrontation. Without at least the offer to negotiate, the United States will continue to navigate the impasse with Iran with a severely limited set of tools -all of which lead further down the path to war. The risk of fruitless negotiations is far outweighed by the benefits of even marginal progress.

Any talks should preferably involve the Supreme Leader because the president holds relatively little power in the Iranian government. Ayatollah Khamenei is truly “the decider” in the Islamic Republic, and negotiations involving him will avoid the frustrations of Iran’s notoriously two-faced bureaucracy. Once the two sides sit down together, U.S. negotiators can employ a carrot-and- stick approach to induce Iranian cooperation. This approach should combine significant economic incentives for Iran, such as possible WTO membership, ending trade sanctions, foreign direct investment in Iran’s petroleum industry, much-needed civilian aircraft parts, and possibly a security guarantee, to usher Iran back into the international community.

It didn’t take long for the outcome of the election to become manifest in Iran’s policy regarding Iraq. The recent offensive by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government against forces loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr boosted Iran’s political influence in Iraq while also setting back U.S. objectives.

Members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the most fervent supporters of Iran’s nuclear defiance, gained a noteworthy number of seats in the election. Typically, the IRGC eschews elected office, but the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has rejected his predecessor Ayatollah Khomeini’s precedent by actively promoting their political engagement. The increasing involvement of the Iranian military in politics has been called a creeping coup in which Guard members are slowly crowding out established clerics. The military’s ascendancy strengthens the Supreme Leader because members of the IRGC owe their positions entirely to him. As the military continues to gain power, the Islamic Republic will become both more uncompromising regarding Iran’s nuclear program and more interventionist in its regional foreign policy. A more consolidated regime means a more confident one, which further empowers the entrenched elements of Iran’s hardline clerical regime. This should make US policymakers wary.

Patrick Disney and Danny Hosein, “Dealing with Iran’s Hardliners” (Washington, DC: Foreign Policy In Focus, April 4, 2008)

Though negotiations are not guaranteed to end the 30-year-old dispute with Iran, they offer the best hope for resolving the current impasse and beginning the difficult process of reconciliation. With luck, United States cooperation with Iran may be the key to resolving many of the major challenges facing the Middle East today.

In return, the United States can expect a radical shift toward Iranian compliance with the IAEA, a renewed spirit of cooperation to stabilize Iraq, and even a pledge of non-interference in the ailing Israeli-Palestinian peace process. If done effectively, negotiations could at once satisfy the needs of a United States desperate for effective solutions in the region while also guaranteeing vital political and economic benefits for the Islamic Republic.

Had the results of the election been different, Iran’s negotiation of the ceasefire would not be serious cause for U.S. concern because it could be seen as something of an isolated case of Iranian intervention. But with the victory of the hardliners, the United States should interpret the ceasefire deal as foreshadowing a more aggressively interventionist Iran.

Take the example of North Korea. The United States participated in lengthy and often frustrating six-party talks with North Korea on its nuclear program. The odds of successfully negotiating a deal with the new nuclear power were long, but the gesture of organizing good faith talks to satisfy the mutual interests of all parties, including North Korea, changed the game. The result was a deal to disable and dismantle North Korea’s nuclear facilities. The deal is fragile and hard work remains ahead, but it would have been impossible without negotiations.

Unconditional Negotiations

The same principle applies with Iran. Despite the gains by hardliners in the Majles, Iran is, at its core, a rational actor. Hardliners do not want war with the United States. Economic woes and a split between Iran’s government and its people over relations with the West make fertile ground for negotiations; hardliners in Iran recognize this opportunity. If the United States begins the difficult task of seeking common ground with Iran, there are no guarantees, only the possibility that skilled U.S. negotiators could emerge with a solution that benefits both Iran and the United States. Maintaining the status quo, however, guarantees nothing but further brinkmanship and the potential for war.

The implications of this week-long event in Iraq could prove to be very significant for both the United States and Iran. By organizing the negotiations between both Shiite factions, Iran gains the favor of both the Maliki government and Sadr’s movement. Because of the zero-sum perspective of the Bush administration, any Iranian political gains in Iraq are losses for the United States as it attempts to maintain absolute influence in the country. Maliki’s failure to eliminate Sadr spells trouble for the U.S.-supported government; the trouble is amplified by the fact that the survival of the Sadrists led both sides to approach Iran to organize the ceasefire agreement. To make matters worse for the United States, the leader of the Iranian Quds Force, which was recently declared a terrorist organization by the Kyl-Lieberman amendment, spearheaded the negotiations.

After the recent elections to the Iranian parliament, known as the Majles, the regime’s power became more solidly entrenched than in recent memory. The newfound confidence of the hardline regime complicates the effects of the December 2007 release of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran’s nuclear program. The report emboldened U.S. policymakers and presidential candidates who disagree with President George W. Bush’s aggressive approach to Iran. But because the report signaled to Iranian hardliners that a U.S. attack is unlikely in the future, they became more resolute than ever to continue Iran’s nuclear research. The outcome of the election guarantees that hardliners will continue to defy the international community on the nuclear issue.

Iran in Iraq

The Iraqi government-led offensive singled out Sadrists in hopes of undermining their influence in upcoming regional elections. Sadr’s followers pose the greatest political threat to Maliki because they stand on the side of public opinion on such issues as a strong central government and government control of Iraq’s oil supply. Maliki’s U.S.-supported positions -a weaker federal structure and privatization of oil -are largely unpopular. The offensive failed to subdue the Sadrists, which set back U.S. plans to draw down forces to pre-surge levels. With the goal of eliminating Sadr’s movement as a political rival unmet, Maliki’s governing coalition accepted an Iranian-brokered ceasefire deal.
