I consider myself the ultimate Desperate Housewives fan. My Sunday nights are not complete without a dose of the chaotic women of Wisteria Lane. Last night, I felt like I was personally saying goodbye to friends that I have know for a lifetime. I feel like sometimes I live on that street, with the picture-perfect picket fences and the secrets that linger in the cookie jars in their homes. I have felt connected to Bree Van De Camp more than anyone in my real life. The red-headed woman who can't break out of her perfect shell to try to be real and down to earth is a symbol of emotion and honesty and how I truly feel sometimes. I find myself wanting to always be perfect, though I do know that that's not how life works and trust me, my husband knows my faults. However, the satisfying craving of Bree either burning a tart or running over someone with her car makes me feel human.
Last night, I did not expect to cry so hard. I felt my heart being tugged in so many emotional directions that I didn't know why I was crying. Was it the mixed emotions of birth, marriage and death being thrown at me with the soundtrack of Johnny Mathis? It all started with me praying that Tom Scavo and his almost-ex wife Lynette would reconcile. They did, in the most fantastic, heart pouring on the pavement kind of way that made me so happy. They are the couple who will always be together and when the sudden seperation started on episodes at the beginning of the season, I wanted to choke Marc Cherry (the creative mind behind this masterpiece). When Mrs. McClusky offered her life for the sacrifice of the women of Wisteria, I bawled. When the slow-motion running of Tom, Lynette and Porter in the hospital, when Julie was about to give birth, along with the beautiful notes of "Wonderful, Wonderful", I sobbed and sobbed. As the baby was born and Karen died, it was so bittersweet and just as satisfying as a bite of one of Bree's perfect muffins.
Thank you Marc Cherry for delivering a beautiful ending to one of my most treasured and favorite television shows. Thank you for making me feel not alone and for learning patience, dignity, and that it's ok to just be human and that everyone has flaws.

Much like Alessandra Ambrosio and many more before her, Russian model Sasha Pivovarova, who is nearing the end of her pregnancy, decided to pose semi-nude to show off her growing baby bump. The stunning black and white image was shot in front of a whimsical backdrop by Sasha's photographer husband Igor Vishnyakov, and sees Sasha wearing a long maxi-skirt and not much else. Sasha is approximately 8 - 9 months pregnant, so a glimpse at her newborn is also just around the corner.
Legendary French shoe designer, who has already expanded his scope to include bags and other accessories, has announced that he will now tackle the world of beauty. The line will simply be called '

In an unexpected move, W magazine's June 2012 cover features a heavily made-over Tom Cruise (complete with eyeliner, tattoos and moody Edward Cullen-esque pout). Tom is being seduced by Australian beauty Abbey Lee Kershaw who wears nothing more than a printed bra and hotpants (as Tom grabs her bare leg) and Edita Vilkeviciute, who appears to be about to put her hand down Tom's pants - she's wearing a figure-hugging bodysuit and fingerless gloves. I am guessing that is a nod to Tom's soon-to-be-released Broadway-musical movie "Rock of Ages". I love this even though I am not particually a "Cruise" fan.
Wow. Oh, wow. Marc Jacobs got people talking the second he arrived on the red carpet at last night's 2012 Met Ball. The designer who is known for his quirky personal style, arrived wearing a buttoned-up sheer lace black shirt-dress, which extended past his knees. He wore the sheer look with a pair of baggy white boxer shorts, a black clutch bag and a pair of heeled buckle shoes which are from his latest Autumn/Winter 2013 collection.

At the age of 6, Natalia Vodianova's young daughter Neva Vodianova Portman has made her modeling debut. Natalia enlisted the help of her young daughter for a worthy cause - to model childrenswear for her Caramel Baby and Child charity line which she created as part of a collaboration. Neva is Natalia's second youngest child (she also has two sons) whom she had while married to now ex-husband Justin Portman.
Androgynous male model Andrej Pejic continues to blur gender boundaries, this time modelling at a bridal presentation, while he also quite recently appeared in an lingerie advertisement for Hema wearing a push-up bra (see it below). Andrej wore a stunning white layered gown taken from Rosa Clará’s wedding dress collection which was shown at the Barcelona Bridal Week. The look was completed with a matching headband and subtle makeup. Looking completely feminine and soft, Andrej once again flawlessly transitions before our eyes and shows off the wedding dress he's been outfitted in too.
