The MAC Hello Kitty Collection Launch Party

I mean, now I can die happy. So last night Carolyn, Anne and I attended the MAC's Hello Kitty collection launch party at Cedar Lake in NYC. I love me some The City. I love the hair, the drama, the Kelly Cutrone bitchness, and the clothes. And while I love me some Jay Lyon, I didn't realize just HOW GOOD LOOKING he is, until I met him in person (along with the adorbs Adam Senn!) at the party. SEE ABOVE PIC of me with devastatingly handsome Jay. In the words of Rachel Zoe, I die. Upon shaking his hand, I promptly turned into Lorraine McFly and could only think about how damn dreamy he is and I, talker of talkers, could BARELY think of something to say. I was practically speaking in tongues. I may or may not have told him that my side twist was inspired by one Miss Whitney Port. Thanks to Carolyn for taking the pic!


MAC's Hello Kitty collection responds to the rabid, voracious fan in all of us. In fact, fans of both MAC and Hello Kitty are known to be some of the most loyal in any fan subculture. My favorite thing about the mouthless kitty is parent brand Sanrio's official statement that her lack of mouth is simply because "she speaks from the heart." It's been covered left, right and center, but JUST in case you've been living under a rock, here are the Hello Kitty collection deets:

M·A·C Hello Kitty Colour Collection

All that’s girly and sparkly

This sophisticated colour story takes its cue from both the fantastical world of Hello Kitty and the glamour of the spring fashion shows. It will feature plush pinks, rich purples, turquoise for extra pop, three-dimensional lickable lips and lashes that were made to bat, all packaged in a sophisticated yet adorable graphic black design to give the line that baaaaaad kitty edge.

Olivia Palermo Hair: Get The Look

Okay, that's it. I have an insane girl crush on Olivia Palermo. Insane. I think her personality sucks, mind you. And can someone puh-lease explain why she drones on and on about how "uptown" she is and how horrified she is by Whitney's "downtown" ways when she herself lives in... TriBeCa? It doesn't really GET more downtown than that. Latitudinally speaking, girlfriend is parallel with all the hipsters in all their skinny jeans, thirft shop Ts and "complicated" hair glory.

That said, I ADORE The City. I'm cheering for Whit in her all too real Welcome to the World of New York Men initiation which is horrendous for a young gal who doesn't know better. She's learning pretty quickly though, is she not? Unfortch, that Jay is probably the douchiest dude in all the land. I think Amy Odell said it best on New York mag's The Cut blog:

Jay wears those opaque neon-orange sunglasses that one really must call "shades." He tells Shirtless [his friend he's playing basketball with] he wants to see other people and Whitney. Well, obviously. That's how The City works.

That's what you call hitting the nail on the head.

Anywho, I've spent every day of '09 thus far "Olivifying" my 'do. I cannot stop myself from rocking the small side twists, dolls. It's so... fun. I've been applying a thickening agent while my hair is wet and then twisting middle-parted one-inch sections and securing them with a Goody blonde bobby pin (pack of two for $5!) or one of Goody's Mini Claw Clips (pictured, left $2.49).

I also am rocking (today, as I live and type) Whitney Port's single side-part twist. It keeps my growing-out bangs out of my lifestyle and looks cute in a Karen Arnold from The Wonder Years sort of way.

I have to say, I am on Team The City/The Hills Hair even more than I am on Team Gossip Girl Hair (which natch involves headbands as opposed to twists.)

And now for the vital question: Which team are YOU on?
