ALU on TDO

Hey kids! Check out who's on The Daily Obsession today. It's me! I just adore the ladies that write for TDO and I've been fortunate to meet three of the five in person. They're all funny, chic women and I love reading about what they're currently obessing about. And today it's moi! Not really but I was so flattered that they wanted to feature me in their interview series.

So head on over and check it out!

TDO Interview: All Lacquered Up

Do You Subscribe To The Glamour Beautygram?

If you don't, you certainly should. Because then you wouldn't have missed seeing All Lacquered Up mentioned in this week's edition.

The Beautygram is delivered to your email box every week by one of my favorite beauty gurus, Andrea Pomerantz Lustig. She not only writes one of my "must read" magazine columns, Glamour's Ask Andrea, she also contributes to The Girls In The Beauty Department Blog on Glamour.com.

Looking for the scoop on this season's nail trends and insight on bad celebrity nail behavior, Andrea came to little 'ole me. I'm so flattered.

The next hot nail color

"I'm loving the new dove grays," nail blogger Michelle Mismas of All Lacquered Up tells me. They're neutrals with a slightly metallic finish, kind of like Essie's Great Expectations (here 'tis). She also mentioned the new sheers with colorful opalescent sheens, like CND's Turquoise Tint. "They're playful and different, and you don't have to worry about chipping since they barely show up." Speaking of chipping, when I asked her which celebrity is most in need of a nail makeover, Mismas didn't hesitate to call out Lindsay Lohan, who is frequently photographed with chipped polish. "These hues would be perfect for her," she says.

This week's Beautygram also includes info on peach blushes, rockin' dark roots on purpose, the trend of avoiding "trendy" hair and the new terra-cotta look for eyes.

Look Who's on Allure.com

It's me! I was honored when Jessica from Allure's Daily Beauty Reporter requested an interview for a post on summer nail trends. Even though she was under the weather and I had TERRIBLE phone reception it was great chatting with her about my favorite shades from the spring/summer collections. Head on over and check it out!

Blogdorf's Cult Classics

Have you all been following the Cult Classics series over on Blogdorf Goodman? If you haven't, crawl out from the rock you've been living under and check it out. Every year Annie and her group of beauty gurus feature a beauty topic for 40 days and 40 nights. In years past the focus has been on Primers and Beauty Brands but this year Annie has really outdone herself by covering the Cult Classics of beauty.

I'm honored to report that the dear Miss A tapped yours truly to report on the infamous OPI Rainforest. And what better day would there be to feature it than St. Patrick's Day. So hop on over and check out what I had to say about the green to top all greens.

My 15 Seconds of Fame

For those of you outside the Cleveland Plain Dealer circulation area, here is a link to the article that ran today in the PDQ section.

Thankfully the picture was not published online. As much as I appreciate Kim Crow for featuring me, the photograph was horrendous. I look all red and the photographer posed me in an awkward unflattering position. I should have stood my ground and refused to put my hands on my face but my nerves got the best of me. Now as much as I adore you all, if you tell me it's not that bad, I'll call you a liar.

Instead I decided to post a more flattering picture I took myself.

I must thank Kim Crow for the flattering and well written article and all of you for your readership and support.

And to all the new readers that are discovering me today... Welcome!
