During the month of February 2011, in recognition of National Children’s Dental Health Month, Nature’s Gate will offer 40% off of a RADIUS purchase with every Nature’s Gate order placed via www.shopnatures-gate.com. RADIUS will also offer 40% off of a Nature’s Gate toothpaste purchase with every toothbrush purchase made via its website, www.RADIUStoothbrush.com. The goal of the program is to educate and encourage natural product users to take a more holistic approach to their oral care regimens.
“We chose RADIUS as a partner because we share important core values: the desire to both promote the health and well-being of the end user as well as that of the environment,” said Jennifer Schweitzer, Nature’s Gate’s brand manager. In addition to promoting oral health, both brands incorporate environmentally friendly materials into their products and packaging, including natural, recyclable and post consumer recycled materials.”
Nature’s Gate toothpastes include the exclusive AntioxiDental Blend of Seven oral health botanicals that work to protect teeth and soothe gums for a healthy feeling mouth. Ginger and Bisabolol, derived from the Candeia tree, work synergistically to help reduce gum irritation and inflammation. Cranberry, Pomegranate and White Tea, botanicals rich in antioxidants, help prevent bacteria from forming on teeth, inhibiting gum disease. Grapeseed extract helps reduce the level of bad-breath causing bacteria while the antiseptic properties in Aloe Vera fight germs while soothing gums. Brushing with these gentle yet effective ingredients helps reduce plaque build-up while freshening breath and promoting all-around good oral health. All of these new upgraded products also include a new gentle, biodegradable and sulfate-free surfactant system derived from coconut oil.
RADIUS was founded 27 year ago by Kevin Foley and James O'Halloran, two architects who were fascinated by the idea of a functional and enjoyable toothbrush. Radius aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable, enjoyable and effective. With a mass of very soft bristles, a large head area for low pressure brushing and a comfortable handle, this toothbrush lets you brush lightly and accurately. Focused on ergonomic design for right- and left-handers, RADIUS products are considered the premium natural oral care option today.
Nature’s Gate products are available at health and natural food stores across the U.S. and Canada or by visiting www.natures-gate.com.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2011 Kevin Ryan and Frank Rizzieri, top runway hairstylists and innovative creators of cult hair products under their RSession Tools line, invite you backstage for a peek into the hottest hair trends they created for New York Fall 2011 Fashion Week.
Preppy Hair Gone Edgy
February 11, 2011, Perry Ellis
Rizzieri fashioned “Connecticut boys with an edge” look for the Perry Ellis Fall 2011
collection. The male models’ hair was styled with volume at the roots and sprayed with
volumizing root boost to create lift throughout. The Rsession Tools’ Runway
Series PinPoint Straightening Iron was utilized during the styling process to
ensure that models’ hair was completely straight.
Rock n’ Roll Chic
February 11, 2011, Nicole Miller
Ryan & Rizzieri designed tough girl hair with a futuristic vibe for Nicole Miller’s
collection. Hair was parted in the middle, a volumizing spray was applied and then
locks were flat-ironed with the Rsession Tools’ Runway Series PinPoint
Straightening Iron. To achieve the perfect rocker feel, dry shampoo was sprayed
over the entire head, with a focus on the ends to add additional texture. The look was
completed with a shine spray at the crown to simulate a wet look at the roots.
Disheveled and Real
February 12, 2011, Richard Chai Love Men’s
Ryan & Rizzieri gave models a “groomed and then disheveled” appearance for the
Richard Chai Love Men’s show. Using Bumble & Bumble’s Surf Spray and Sumo
Tech liberally, they created a matte texture and then ensured that frizz around the
hairline was tamed with the Rsession Tools’ Root Control. The look was finished
off with an overall application of dry shampoo to make hair look rough and slept-in.
Loose Waves
February 14, 2011, Kevork Kiledjian
Ryan and Rizzieri kept hair “cool but not glamorous” for Kevork Kiledjian’s first
NYFW runway show for his eponymous women’s line. Hair was parted in the
center and then blow-dried with the Rsession Tools’ Bamboo Collection
Round Styling Brushes. To add length and volume, Innophillia Clip-N-Go
Extensions from Ricky’s NYC were clipped in to the models’ hair. Next, a large
barreled curling iron was used to curl sections of hair, which were then
individually pinned into place to set. Just before the show, the clips were taken out
and hair was brushed out to reveal a fluffy texture and then sprayed with hairspray
to hold the style in place.
Downtown Lady
February 16, 2011, Milly by Michelle Smith
Ryan teamed up with Catwalk by TIGI and gave models a cool, loose 70’s vibe for
the Milly by Michelle Smith Fall 2011 show. Hair was parted in the middle and
Catwalk by TIGI Fast Fixx Style Prep and Your Highness Root Boost
were layered throughout the hair to protect and create volume and texture.
Large round styling brushes from Rsession Tools’ Bamboo Brush Collection
were used to blow out hair and then sections were curled using a Hot Tools 2”
barreled curling iron from Ricky’s NYC and pinned up to set. Completing
the look was TIGI Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo, which was
sprayed on as hair was taken down and brushed out for additional texture, and
Catwalk by TIGI Sleek Mystique Look Lock Hairspray to hold the style.

Nike and Kobe Bryant launched the much-anticipated short-film Black Mamba to millions of fans around the world via Facebook. The film features superstar athlete Kobe Bryant and brings the star’s alter ego – the Black Mamba – to life in a bold new way. The Black Mamba, starring Kobe Bryant, Kanye West, Bruce Willis and Danny Trejo, is a Nike Basketball production directed by Robert Rodriguez.
The film premiered on facebook.com/nikebasketball and can now be viewed at :
The Black Mamba, starring Kobe Bryant, Kanye West, Bruce Willis and Danny Trejo, is a Nike Basketball production directed by Robert Rodriguez. In Rodriguez’s trademark style, the film showcases Kobe as he fights to protect the game of basketball against all who wish to destroy it — and him.
“We’re excited to bring a world-class athlete like Kobe Bryant together with one of the best directors of our time, Robert Rodriguez, to create a film worthy of the big screen,” said Davide Grasso, Nike’s VP of Global Brand Marketing. “Nike is proud of its long history in the sport and culture of basketball, and through the film we celebrate this heritage and pay tribute to one of the game’s best – Kobe Bryant.”
“The film was inspired by my on-court alter ego the Black Mamba,” said Nike athlete
Kobe Bryant. “The driving force of the Black Mamba is having the will to be fearless and relentless, while remaining confident and true to yourself, no matter what the obstacles. I work hard to embody these characteristics during every game.”
Simultaneous to the film’s global digital launch, The Black Mamba was shown at a Nike Basketball celebration held at the W Hollywood hotel to an exclusive mix of Nike’s world-class athletes, renowned artists and influencers including many of the film’s actors plus all stars LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Amare’ Stoudemire and Paul Pierce. The film’s launch was followed by a performance with Kanye West.
In the special one-hour preview of Big Time Rush, 16-year-old Kendall (Kendall Schmidt, AI, Gilmore Girls), is inadvertently discovered by eccentric record executive Gustavo Rocque (Stephen Glickman) during a nationwide casting call and must choose between staying home in Minneapolis with his friends and pursuing a singing career in Hollywood. Not seeing himself as a solo act, Kendall strikes a deal with the Hollywood image-maker and agrees to undergo “pop group 101” training in exchange for giving his best friends – James (James Maslow, iCarly), Logan (Logan Henderson) and Carlos (Carlos Pena, Ned’s DeClassified School Survival Guide) – the opportunity to be in a music group with him. The boys travel with Kendall’s mom (Challen Cates) and younger sister (Ciara Bravo) from the snowy Midwest to sunny Los Angeles, where they move into the Palm Woods, a swanky temporary housing development where entertainment companies house their budding new talent. But the boys soon learn that life in Hollywood is not all about hanging at the pool and attending late-night parties: they quickly realize they have a very short window to prove to themselves and their record label that they are serious about their new career choice.

SHOW
Despite the fact that there were six different beauty and hair looks coming down the street-gang inspired L.A.M.B. runway, the one commonality that all seemed to share was that the bigger and fiercer, the better. Models were outfitted in looks categorized as: the Soldier Girl, Ragga Muffin Girl, London Girl, Buffalo Girl, Mod Girl and Glamour Girl.
NAILS
Celebrity nail technician Pattie Yankee and the Dashing Diva nail team worked backstage to create nail looks for models at L.A.M.B. show at the Theatre at Lincoln Center.
To create a cohesive nail look for ,all of the ‘gangs’ in Gwen Stefani’s collection Pattie used Dashing Diva’s Limo Service polish for an edgy take on a neutral polish. The creator of the Love Angel Music Baby line said black is back for polish for Fall/Winter 2011.
HAIR
Hair by Danilo spanned the gamut from bouffants tucked behind lady-like head scarves, dramatically side-swept bangs, oversized buns, theatrical extensions, and an array of headpieces.
MAKE-UP
The different beauty looks done by Charlotte Willer for Maybelline New York was as equally fierce with inky eyeliner, strong brows, pops of electric turquoise, thick cat eyes, and shimmery eye accents all toned down with a neutral lip.
Jenny Packham's feminine and fun autumn/winter 2011 collection included textured and delicate pieces, flowing gowns and beautiful metallic embroidery. The color palate featured nude, black and brown tones. The makeup and hair was very soft, romantic and nymph-like: Talia Shobrook for Temptu created frosted eyelids, warm, peachy cheeks and applied a soft coral color to the lips. Leonardo Mannetti of Community NYC for L'Oreal created long, flowing hair with soft waves, echoing Botticelli's Venus.
Iconic models such as Carmen Kass, Karolina Kurkova and Angela Lindvall walked the runway at Michael Kors' Fall 2011 collection, celebrating his 30th anniversary in fashion. Dick Page for Shiseido created a clean, minimal makeup look and hair was simple and effortless- loose twists with hair parted in the middle and pieces intentionally sticking out.
