My 24=Year Long Relashe With Barbie = Over.

You guys. Barbie is DTM. Dead to me. Let me tell you why. Daneen and I waited in line for the Barbie show for an HOUR. AN HOUR. Check out the pics from the Barbie display inside the tents, above. The line was epic. We had tickets, mind you. But the line. Even the super-cute Fashion Week security dude, Russell W, couldn't distract me from the fact that seemingly, every single person in Manhattan was in the tents and in front of Daneen and me in line.

At one point, things got confusing and there were several people who got plucked out to go stand in the "standing room section" to wait to be let in and people with CHILDREN were summoned to go on into the show whilst real, full grown women - who APPRECIATE a Barbie show more than, say, a Barbie DOLL were forced to stand stationary in heels till the end of time. Fashion Week and children do not mix, dolls. Children should see Barbie at Stars on Ice, or whatevs. Fashionistas and beauty junkies deserve to see models dressed as Barbie's past, present and future iterations in couture. All of a sudden, after an hour of waiting and without any communication from the security powers that be, we were at the front of the line and the flat screen TVs adorning the tents began showing the Barbie show. No one even TOLD us we weren't making it in. From what I could see on TV, the show was DIVINE.

I haven't been this disappointed by Barbie since I didn't get a Barbie and the Rockers doll that I COVETED circa 1987. Barbie, we've had a long run. I received my first doll when I was four, 24 years ago. But it's OVER.

Stay tuned for more coverage tomorrow. On my backstage agenda: Lela Rose, Herve Leger, Miss Sixty, Tuleh, and more.

Barbie Loves Stila Cans: You Can Still Buy Them

As you know (because I told you), the Barbie Loves Stila collection has been posted on Sephora.com since January 14th. BUT, the beauty cans were listed as “Temporarily Out of Stock.”
The glitch has been resolved and the beauty cans are now available for purchase on Sephora.com! Yay for happy endings.

In other news, I know I've already shared this, but I CONTINUE to love Remi (my Remington Airwave Blow-dryer). As Tamar and I joke (except this time, I'm serious), "I feel like? I'm obsessed with it." Some tips I've figured out as I've become more famil with Remi:

1. Don't be afraid to put way more than an inch of hair into the tunnel. Remi can handle it. (Can't you, Remi?)

2. Lean your head in the direction of the dryer to minimize frizz

3. Get your part situated before sectioning off and drying the top/crown part of hair

My roommate is also totes obsessed. In her words: "It's like this. It's one of the best things to come out of technology. You have the Internet. And then you have THIS BLOW-DRYER. And then there's DVR. That's it."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Barbie Loves Stila Beauty Cans: Uber Limited Edition

There is SO MUCH beauty news today dolls, that I'm actually getting nerve about having a chance to cover it all. Between the Golden Globes, the new NARS collection, and now the Barbie Loves Stila collection... I'm experiencing sensory overload. I love me some Stila and I love me some Barbie (though I have little to no tolerance for Barbie hand), so you and I KNOW I'll be rocking some of this come spring.



The collection includes the Malibu Barbie can, the Ponytail Barbie can, the Foxy Girl Barbie can, and the Barbie Talking Palette.











The Barbie Loves Stila beauty cans are pre-launching on Sephora.com on Wednesday, January 14 and they will sell out quickly, no doubt. Each beauty can is numbered and the brand will not be producing more than 10,000 of any one can.











I'm like, about to sweat - Wednesday can't arrive quickly enough. I need that Malibu Barbie can (pictured, left) in my posession, stat.
