This just off the wire:

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kim Zolciak – one of the hottest and most talked-about women in entertainment today – has signed a deal with Farrah Gray Publishing to write a book in the self-help/relationship genre to be released in 2011. 

Bravo TV’s reality series The Real Housewives has spotlighted marital relationships good, bad and bizarre during its wildly successful run, and now one of its stars is writing a self-help book on a topic she and her co-stars know well – relationships.

Following in the footsteps of Real Housewives seasons in Orange County and New York, the Atlanta series follows six women from the city’s social elite as they cope with busy home lives and promising careers.  Rated the No. 1 cable show in its time slot, The Real Housewives of Atlanta was nominated this year for an Emmy as Best Reality Show.

Kelly Killoren Bensimon and Parker Pens “Write Big”

WHAT IF YOU COULD SHARE YOUR MESSAGE WITH THE WORLD?
 
Parker’s international Write Big contest drew to a spectacular close on December 7th with a magical evening combining innovative art technology and the written word in the heart of New York City. Author and reality show star Kelly Killoren Bensimon was on-hand to help PARKER launch their grand finale celebration.
 
Over the past six weeks, PARKER invited people to share their message online at www.parkerpen.com, framing their thoughts with the question What if?
 
Out of the 160, 000 visitors, more than 53,000 entrants from around the world submitted their personal, topical or philosophical messages to be used in an original event celebrating hand-writing.
 
The groundbreaking competition concluded with the winning inspirational messages coming from 10 different countries, in 9 different languages and selected by PARKER’s judges for their democratic, original and positive output. These 30 sentences were projected onto the exterior of New York’s iconic Museum of Arts & Design* building in a breathtaking display of revolutionary, cutting edge 3D video mapping.
 
Some of the messages:
What if your small step started a massive change? - Gerri T.
What if you could save a life with a pen? Incredible! - Matthew O.
What if I was a pen, the world would be my notepad? - Daniel L.
 
Passersby from Columbus Circle and Broadway were astonished to watch these international messages, projected onto the New York skyline. PARKER thus empowered both NYC and its inhabitants during the 2 ½ hours that the projection ran.
 
The PARKER holiday pop-up shop**, located just steps away from the projections, was also a popular destination for those wishing to view 2010’s pen collections. 
 
Earlier in the evening, a presentation for press and friends of the brand was held within the Museum of Arts & Design. Author and reality show star Kelly Killoren Bensimon, PARKER President Jean-Charles Hita and Group President Penny McIntyre introduced the evening’s proceedings with comments underlining the conceptual thinking behind the event and its natural link with the sophisticated heritage and innovative values inherent to the PARKER brand.
 
“The Write Big event encapsulates all of our PARKER values: Innovation with its 3D technique, Design with the artistic creation, and Writing, with the written thoughts from people from all around the world,” said Jean-Charles Hita. Bensimon added, “I’m thrilled to have been asked to participate in tonight’s Write Big event. There is nothing more alluring than the written word. I love the intimacy of a note, and why not write it with an amazing instrument like a Parker pen?”
 
The public can relive the spectacle of the Write Big event and see exclusive footage of the evening by visiting www.parkerpen.com or facebook fan page.

Give A Wham! for Christmas

What is it about the Christmas season that makes me think of a young George Michael…and Andrew Ridgeley in Wham! Whether its “Last Christmas” or their participation in Band Aid on “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” The best is George rapping about his street cred on “Wham! Rap.”

I’m inspired to make my own holiday mixed-tape. Actually, it will be more like a Youtube playlist… Here’s how I’ll start the party!

You know heartbreak is almost over and Christmas is almost on the way when you hear this!
According to Wikipedia this was one of the first singles by a British group to include rapping.
Now just add some Daft Punk… and it’s a modern masterpiece!

Tips for Online Holiday Shopping

The holiday shopping season is in full force, consumers are scrambling to find the right gift at the right price, and what they can’t find in stores they search for online. With $16.8 billion already spent online in the first 33 days of the holiday season, e-tailers have found additional ways to keep the momentum going. A couple important dates to remember include December 17 or “Free Shipping Day”, also if you’re planning on ordering gifts online at the last minute, remember that December 22 is the last day for Express mail service.

In addition to the dates, keep in mind a few easy tips Trend Micro suggests to stay safe while clicking from site to site.

  • Know your merchant – Only shop online with merchants you are familiar with.  If you choose to purchase something from an online site that isn’t recognizable, please do your research.  The Better Business Bureau is a good place to check the legitimacy of an online shopping site.
  • Keep an eye out for phishing emails – Phishing is the practice where a cyber criminal pretends to be from a legitimate organization and sends misleading emails requesting personal data. There are higher volumes of phishing e-mails during the holiday season. Cyber criminals can easily make their messages look like legitimate order confirmations or store promotions to obtain your personal information.
  • Avoid the temptation of keeping your credit card information (or other secure information) on your hard drive – if someone gets on your computer or if you lose your laptop, the criminal will have easy access to this information. 
  • First line of defense – Use the most up to date and comprehensive software like Trend Micro’s Titanium 2011, which offers an easy-to-use interface with the most advanced cloud technology protection that automatically updates in real-time.

Easy Glam Hair: The Posh Pony

  
image002image001

From the red carpet to the streets, Hollywood’s in-crowd has been rocking the hottest new updo: the posh pony. Stars like Blake Lively & Lauren Conrad are photographed on the red carpet with the sleek look. Now you can copy these starlets’ trendy ‘do with göt2b invincible ultra glued styling gel. Powered by high-tech styling agent, Alpha XRT, the formula feels like a gel, but works like a glue to hold strands in place. 
 
After combing hair back, göt2b celeb stylist Larry Sims recommends “breaking up the texture of the göt2b invincible ultra glued styling gel by rubbing the product thoroughly through your palms and fingertips.” This will ensure that the formula coats the hair for optimal hold and performance.
 
Next, “Use a blow-dryer with high heat at a low speed to help the sleek style harden faster. Be sure to apply heat starting at the roots and ending at the tips,” says Sims.
image003 

 
göt2b invincible ultra glued ($5.99) is available at Wal-mart, food and drug retailers nationwide.

Red Carpet Beauty: Natalie Portman at Black Swan Premiere

Jim Spellman for Getty Images

Jim Spellman for Getty Images

Natalie Portman looked like a classic Hollywood star at the New York Premiere of her new film "Black Swan." Wearing a glamorous black Dior off the shoulder dress and gorgeous, full-bodied wavy hair, she dazzled the red carpet.

The look was designed by her stylist John D., who, though tempted to do an elegant updo, succumbed to the glamour of the dress and created a look that accented the its sense of drama and sensuous silhouette.

"The hair was beautiful, and helped balance the total look," said John D., "especially since the bottom of the dress was so full.  I started with argan oil-infused Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream then blow dried the hair smooth using a round brush to give it 'oomph' at the root.  I used Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream for its soft hold and hydration. Natalie has naturally curly hair and it needs extra moisture to look its best. Since she's constantly getting her hair done for events it can easily dry out. Hydrating Styling Cream helps protect her hair, adds moisture, and smoothes the cuticle.  It also gets rid of any frizz and static.

“I then used a 1" curling iron, and starting at the back of her head, I curled round sections all over her head to set the volume in, curling back from the face in the front.  I finished her hair with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to give it extra hold that looked soft. It was raining in New York tonight and I wanted to make absolutely sure the body stayed.  After her hair cooled, I used one of my tricks: I sprayed a paddle brush with hairspray and used it to separate and loosen the hair. This also tames the curls at the same time. I completed the lookwith a touch of hairspray to give it extra hold.  With Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray, I find that I can brush through the hair several times and it gives no residue. It looks naturally shiny and still moves. Finally, I gave used a light mist of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray to finish.”

StyleLikeU Presents the Closet of Ally Hilfiger

Today StyleLikeU presents the closet of creative consultant, stylist, and clothing designer Ally Hilfiger. In watching the interview, you will discover an Ally that is original, unentitled, and true to herself. 

Alexandria Hilfiger from StyleLikeU.com from Stylelikeu on Vimeo.

In her video interview with StyleLikeU, Ally shares her personal history, her career as an artistic director, stylist, and co-designer of a clothing line with her friend Nary Manovig (closet to come). Having been immersed in her father's company her whole life, Ally's style and vision is highly evolved. Her earthy side speaks to the influence of her father and their mutual appreciation for indigenous cultures. She is inspired by her extensive international travels; for example, she wears llama bells from Cuzco as a belt and loves her diaphanous maxi dress because it is the color of "dirt". At the same time, she understands the virtues of classicism for professional attire via her heritage and is evocative of Katherine Hepburn. Despite the diversity of the pieces she displays in her interview, they are all cohesive with her taste.
"The stereotypes that are placed on you when you have a certain family or a certain background are so harsh," Ally notes. "But at the end of the day it's in your blood - it's in my blood - to be in fashion." It is in her blood but she has made it her own.
