Hillary Clinton’s headband … is it a do or don’t?
Hillary Clinton has been wearing headbands off and on for at least two decades — and probably long before that. She sported one again last night for President Obama’s State of the Union address. This time it was a sliver of a band accented with crystals to pull back her soft flip.
Headbands seem to be enjoying a fashion moment — Charlize Theron and Michelle Williams embraced the look for the Golden Globes.
So, what do you think of Clinton’s headband? Should it be a do or don’t for her? Here are two photos from two different angles from last night’s address.

Vintage video: How-to hair care from the 1950s
I saw this vintage video about haircare on Bella Sugar recently. Imagine washing your hair every other week. Evidently that was the norm in the early 1950s. Oh, and let’s not forget putting hair in pincurls. And the brushing. This video is so much fun that I went looking for more, which I will share later. Enjoy.
Pucker up to BECCA Lip Plumping Moisture Gloss
As I was digging around in my makeup drawer the other day I came across a product that I had mistakenly tossed in with extra cosmetic brushes.
It was a tube of BECCA Lip Plumping Moisture Gloss. Honestly, I forget I even had it. The BECCA public relations people sent me several products to try a few months ago. I remember swiping this on my lips and loving the way it felt, but then, out of sight, out of mind.
Now it’s one of favorites. It plumps and hydrates and gives the ultimate shine. It’s perfect for those times when you don’t want or need color on your lips but don’t want them to go naked either. Of course, it works over lipstick just fine, too.
The clear gloss contains atellocollagen to increase the lip’s natural collagen and is rich in nourishing ingredients such as jojoba, avocado oil, vitamin E, shea butter, cocoa butter and honey extract.
I love the gentle tingling and the scent — Tahitian vanilla and cinnamon. And there’s no burning or stinging. Just smooth, nourished lips.
The gloss sells for $23. In Oklahoma City, you can only find it at Trichology Salon, 14101 N May. Phone: (405) 302-6499

Cindy Crawford’s daughter models Versace
Kaia Gerber, daughter of Cindy Crawford, is featured in the new Young Versace children's line Young Versace.
Like mother, like daughter.
Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford’s 10-year-old daughter, is the face of the Young Versace’s first ad campaign. Couture for children ages 0 to 12? What economic crunch?
“Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift,” said Donatella Versace in a company statement. “The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!”

Miss America pageant showcase for Oklahoma and Oklahomans

Saturday’s Miss America pageant was a good showcase for Oklahoma and Oklahomans.
Oklahoma City designer Johnathan Kayne Gillaspie created both the gown and talent costume that Miss Oklahoma Betty Thompson wore during the Miss America pageant Saturday evening.
Thompson, named first runner-up, wore a white silk jersey gown that had corset construction. It was accented with silver metallic lace that was encrusted with Swarovski crystals. A sweetheart neckline with ruching elongated Thompson’s petite frame, Gillaspie said.
It was a classic, elegant style made that made her look a little taller. In dressing her for the past few years, Gillaspie said that’s the kind of styling he has been wanting to do.
He also designed her talent costume, which is the same one she wore during the Miss Oklahoma competition last June. It was just tweaked a bit with more sparkles for the national stage.
“We were just super excited and elated for her,” he said.
Gillaspie designs prom, pageant and evening wear for his Johnathan Kayne line.
And those eye-catching earrings Thompson wore with her white gown were by local jewelry designer Sarah Lewis.
Thompson had said that about 200 friends and family were in Las Vegas to support her, along with several Oklahoma state title holders who will compete in the Miss Oklahoma pageant in June.
Sarah White, Miss Greater Oklahoma and a sophomore at Oklahoma City University, said Oklahoma really does support its state title holders and “we were excited about that as well.”
She said she was eager to see the swimwear by Komplique, the pageant’s new swimwear sponsor.
“The swimsuits were stunning,” she said. “So flattering, fun colors, fun styles. I loved them and I think the girls felt a lot more confident in them as well.”
And who couldn’t use a bit more confidence when wearing a swimsuit? During a live presentation. Seen by almost 8 million people across the country.
