Neosporin just came out with an eczema lotion and its freakin' amazing. My son has the worst eczema break-outs and it worked on him in 3 days.

The VS Pink line wasn't intended for tweens. It's meant for young
women transitioning into college or in college. (Hence the regularly
seen collegiate team gear and spring break marketing.) Naturally, tweens
and teens will want to wear things marketed for young women, but that's
up to their parents to stop them or allow them. You can't blame a sexy
lingerie store for living up to its own branding.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a baby girl in Miami without pierced ears. I didn't realize that non-latinos didn't do pierce their babies' ears.

Re: The Sartorialist Calls Photo Subject “Bigger, Curvier” and “Sturdy”; Prompts Commenter Outrage

This is such bull. If he were to call some very thin, vulnerable looking model "fragile and feminine" no one would be making a big deal. He used descriptive words to make a point about his subject, one he obviously thought enough of to discuss. I think people need to get over it and stop reading into things.

Re: How to Throw a Shred Party

JennOrtiz — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:23:11 -0000

When I was in college I had a yearly burn party in December (only time Florida *might* be cool enough to do it.) It was always good times. This post brought back great memories of those parties. Might have to do a shred or donate party here in SFL soon. (Fire is sooo out of the question here.)

Re: Did Nordstrom REALLY Photoshop the Ralph Lauren Model into a stick?

JennOrtiz — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 22:12:38 -0000

I think the bigger problem is that they chose a model who is that skinny. Granted she's standing at an angle, but I don't think she was altered to be thinner. Acually, most of the clothes in the Kors lookbook are a bit loose or heavy on her. You can't actually see her waist there except in the belted outfit, which indicates how thin she really is.

Like that you call this out though. (How about picking apart some cosmetics ads, too!)

Re: it’s pay what you can day. happy birthday to…us!

JennOrtiz — Tue, 25 May 2010 14:08:32 -0000

Ok, so I e-mailed my offer in, but after seeing what Kye offered, I want to do something similar. My offer was to pay $30 over 5 months, so Danielle would get the very least of what she deserves. But, I want to also add on another 5 months to be given to someone that can't afford to purchase the FSS. So 10 months, $30 per month.

Happy Birthday Danielle!

P.S. If the person who it goes to wants to stay in touch with me, I'd love that. Not required, but it'd be cool!

Good review Sash.

Agree with everything except Erin F. and Nicole R. (I totally get the style and like the look on them, esp since this was the Met gala.)

Christina Hendricks needs to fire her stylist. NOW. She's such a bombshell, it's a crime to dress her badly at all these galas and award shows.

Ok, putting my halo back on. Sweet post. Im always down for doing "inappropriate" and silly things. It's an art.

@rubyku Do what is right because it's right. That's something kids aren't being taught very often. You're correct; some of these incentives actually work against what they were intended to encourage.

@Carlos Couldn't have said it better.

Re: Bullshit & The All Mighty Dollar

Added you on Skype. Pay is disgustingly low. But should it be performance based or tenure? Is there another way? Don't even get me started on how the school system seems to be more interested in protecting itself and overprotecting teachers to the point that they aren't encouraged to care and aren't truly supported... (Steam coming out of ears)

I'll hit you up in the next few days on skype.

Ash, you rock my world, but you didn't use the word bullshit enough. USDA and their shit guidelines piss me off. Also, would love to chat with you on education and your views on teacher pay.

Random note: I wonder if there's a bullshit meter website out there, because if there isn't there should be.

Re: My Love–And Hatred–For MAC’s New Pro Longwear Lipcolour

JennOrtiz — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:23:17 -0000

You have to wear the gloss that goes with it for your lips not to crack. A friend who worked for MAC warned me in advanced. Apparently they two are formulated to work together. I've worn it with the gloss that goes over it and then just kissed the back of my hand so it wouldnt be so shiny. If you a true matte with little smudge, just go for a lipliner and a touch of chapstick.

I hate when PR is equated with "fluff." I'm not even in PR, but I know the value of true PR as a writer and marketer. What else would we expect from E! though?

Re: {ADbitious} Nudity and a Niqab, Does This AD Offend You?

JennOrtiz — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:47:34 -0000

The thing is, nuns are not permitted to even think sexy. They are strictly forbidden from arousing lust in others or themselves. Everything from their look to their thoughts must be chaste. That is the vow of chastity. So, Nuns are NOT allowed to wear this sort of thing.

Wearing a burqa does not mean chastity is required, correct? Married women wear a burqa, too? Yes? And, married women should have sex with their husbands. Right? Ok, so you can't put a nun on the same playing field here.

What's more, if this aired in the US with a nun in it, I think most people would find it cheeky and humorous, since it seems so ABSURD. Again, another reason I don't think you can relate the two.

Is the burqa banned where this is showing? Whether it is or not, to me doesn't matter. I think that it's making a statement. The only thing is that butt shot doesn't sit right with me; just out of respect.

I also question who the target audience really is. Is it really targeted at muslim women or is it aimed at non-muslim women?

Re: {ADbitious} Nudity and a Niqab, Does This AD Offend You?

JennOrtiz — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:48:12 -0000

Right, so here is my take. I think it is so stupid to compare nuns with women who wear a niqab and an abaya. Nuns are banned from having sex. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to wear what the women in the commercial wears, you do not have to take a vow of chastity. So there goes that argument...

For a secular audience, the nudity (curves) were tasteful, but I think showing her bum is a bit much in this case. Other than that, I like the commercial. I think that it gives a positive message. A woman is sexy by what she is under her clothes, for the man she wants to show it to, if she even shows it to a man.

I agree, it would be wonderful to see her meet her husband in a follow up. I have a friend who is drop dead gorgeous and very well manicured, who wears lingerie just like this, and wears her abaya because the modesty of the abaya in public combined with her sexuality and beauty underneath that she reserves for her husband makes her feel like a true woman.

What's wrong with that?

Re: 2009 AMAs: GaGa’s Crotch-Thing, Rihanna’s White Worm & Glambert’s BDSM Moves

JennOrtiz — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:38:11 -0000

Totally agree with you all over except {forgive me!} I like Shakira's new groove. At least for now, it's cool with me. And, I can't stand Whitney Houston anymore.

Was Carrie wearing the opening dress from carol hannah's PR collection? Looks just like it.

So, about the Adam Lambert thing. When I was watching it, the whole time I just kept thinking how he just seemed like the gay male version of Madonna, Britney, Aguilera, or even Janet with the dance moves. If they don't get in too much trouble for it, then why should he?

Crazy show. Definitely more entertaining than the Grammy's though.

Re: Volvo’s What Drives Edward Cullen: On Point or Missing Target?

JennOrtiz — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:45:17 -0000

Angela127:
First off, twenty-somethings have kids. Many of the members of my graduating class, including myself, have children. Second, I wouldn't say that Volvo is such a luxurious car that twenty year olds can't afford it. Many people my age can afford the lease or payments on a Volvo. Don't forget that there is also a market for parents of teens and twenty-somethings that buy/lease their children's cars for them. BTW, I drive an audi Q7, am 25, with a 6 year old, so there goes your stereotype.

I'm not sure where the whole SATC reference comes from. A failed effort at being witty and condescending?

Either way, I think you are wrong on many accounts and missed the article's point.

This campaign is definitely targeted at the younger end of Gen-Y. My guess is they wanted the kids to love Volvo and think it's so cool that they will ask their parents for one. Overall, the biggest blunder they made was trying too hard to promote engagement with the brand. Making the contest too difficult is where they fail. Making videos on youtube, writing something, signing in once... fine. But, having to sign in multiple times and play this stupid game? Ridiculous.

Actually, I didn't notice it before, but I don't like the break in the leg of Hamm's pants. It looks like the hem is off, which makes him look short.
