Katie Holmes was identified by the source as carrying a Hermes handbag. The writer cheekily called it a purse. If you check out the official Hermes website, its handbags were displayed as part of cartoon drawings. It used the fact that the bag was large. The bag was made to become the body of the figure.

Hermes used the woman, man and girl figures to suggest that the bag was unisex and multi-generational. It could be used by the young girl too. The webpage that displayed these figures is here.

Do you know why the Hermes handbag was so large? Hermes called it the “garden party handbag.” I suppose the carrier was supposed to sneak in some food for the pot luck garden party. It would be too expensive to use as a regular grocery carrier.

6 tips to look young when you’re older, just like Joan Collins and Cilia Black.

1. People past the age of 40 should get regular eye checkups every 2 years. This is because the vision changes with age. Squinting and straining causes crow’s feet and ages the skin around the eyes.
2. Buy fitting underwear. Men and women should get fitted for underwear that provides body support.
3. Use moisturizer to protect the skin. Sun tanning actually ages the skin. It is ironic that the young tan to look older while the old apply sunscreen and moisturizers to look young.

5. Keep a happy disposition. Smile to stretch the facial muscles, as well as to stay happy.
6. Get sufficient sleep. It is good for the skin and helps the body to regenerate.

Hair loss can affect anybody. The genes are one factor that dictate the rate of loss of hair. While this cannot be altered, there are other measures that can be dealt with to curb the ebb of hair loss.

Some factors of hair loss are pregnancy, low iron, alopecia, shedding, stress, diabetes, underweight, prescription drugs and surgery. The source has tested several measures to fight hair loss. Some of these include hair growth tonic, gelatin pills and a good hair cut.

Some people are unaware that shorter hairs are lighter and do not drop out as fast as longer, heavier hairs. A short hair bob will definitely help to reduce the hair drop.

Kim Cattrall’s was assigned this piece of wardrobe for her shoot in Sex and the City. The location was L.A. Some writers noted that the show’s fashion stylists deliberately made the actresses try out different fashions to test the waters. Here, Kim looked like she was dressed like a circus tent or as a clown.

Kim’s blouse was a little colorful but her belt matched the bottom half of her blouse. She wore white for her bottom and that was good to let the blouse stand out.

Her ear rings looked like bagels, of the twisted variety. To top it all, Kim had blood red nail polish. The overall look was twisted.

Miley Cyrus bought an expensive bag. It was from Prada and cost $11,350. Her parents, Billy Ray and Leticia Cyrus found out about her extravagant purchase, and punished her in the worst possible way. They destroyed all her credit cards. They changed her allowance into a monthly one that had a budget of $300.

Prada is currently offering a discount for a certain model of Crocodile Frame Bag. It sells for a song at about half price! A Prada at $5, 803 is a great buy. The stores that offer discounts often run out of stocks quickly so you might have to search around to get discounted designer bags.

Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Ellison were among the worst dressed celebrities when they wore silver colored dress suits. The Daily Mail compared them to The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. Silver is the least favorite color to wear. Take a page from the book of celebrity mistakes and never wear silver.

It seemed that these two celebrities went against the grain and ignored Nigella Lawson when she posed in a bacofoil dress for Esquire magazine. Her dress looked like it was wrapped over in tin foil. The Daily Mail said that the tin foil women looked like meat for the oven.

Secrets of Youth by U.K. TV presenter Janet Street-Porter.

Janet is 60 years old but looks younger than 60. She was interviewed by the source and she was asked to offer some tips on how to maintain a youthful skin. The gist of the interview follows.

- Use of expensive face creams should be alternated with cheap ones.  Skin is intelligent and it adapts to customary products quickly. This means that the expensive cream might not work any longer when the skin has grown immune to it.

- The prevention of wrinkles is better than the cure for them. Wrinkles never go away even with the most expensive of creams. One preventive measure is to avoid sunlight.

- Smoking dehydrates the skin. This should be eliminated and replaced with drinking 2 gallons of water daily.

- There should be at least 6 hours of sleep.
