Actress Eva Longoria, the dark-haired beauty from “Desperate Housewives,” has been spotted with short hair. So, do you love it or not?

Actress Eva Longoria was shopping at the Ferragamo boutique in New York City with husband Tony Parker and stylist Robert Verdi on Monday.

Eva is carrying an off-white woven calfskin Ferragamo tote with a wooden gancio logo closure. She’s also wearring a pair of Holly flats from the Creations salon, created originally for actress Audrey Hepburn.

 While shopping, Eva “chose” three pairs of these flats and a red patent Eva bag from the pre-fall 08 collection. 

She wasn’t the only one shopping. Her basketball-playing husband, Tony Parker, chose two pairs of Tramezza made-to-order shoes in black and espresso brown.

My only child is 21 years old, so it has been years since I’ve used baby powder on a baby.

 I do use it in my shoes almost daily during the spring and summer when I free my legs of hosiery, tights and socks. And I’m not the only one to use baby powder for something other than its original purpose. 

Superstar Angelina Jolie uses baby powder on her scalp and ends to “sex up” her locks, according to  The Black Book of Hollywood Secrets.

 US Weekly reports that Eva Longoria Parker told makeup artist Elan Bongiorno that while doing her own makeup one day, she discovered that dusting baby powder on your lashes before applying mascara makes them look longer and fuller. “It acts as a primer and makes lashes look thick and fluffy!” says Borgiorno. 

Actress Amanda Bynes’ hairstylist, Townsend, recommends baby powder as a “fast fix” to “fluff up limp locks.”  “Sprinkle it on you palms and run your hands through your hair to absorb the oils and give your style a lift,” Townsend tells US Weekly.  

Johnson’s, maker of one of the best known brands of baby powder, offers these other suggestions:

 * Add it to your beach bag to help remove the sand from your feet and legs, so you don’t have to worry about bringing the beach home with you.

* Try using it as a dedorizer. It contains cooling properties that help wipe away sweat and leave your body feeling cooler and refreshed.

*Use it to dry off sweaty feet and minimize odors. For fresh-smelling feet, try Johnson’s Cucumber Melon or Lavender Chamomile Baby Powder.

*Apply baby powder between your sheets to freshen them.
