McCain's campaign defends Palin's fashion expenses
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign defended vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's fashion expenses that has grabbed public and media attention with only days before the election day.
The wardrobe controversy was expanded with a report saying Palin's stylist, Amy Strozzi, was paid 22,800 U.S. dollars for the first two weeks in October, while McCain's foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, was paid only 12,500 dollars during the same period.
An earlier report disclosed that the Republican National Committee has spent 150,000 dollars of political donation to cover Palin's expense on clothing, makeup and other fashion needs.
Despite the repeated clarification that the purchased clothes would go to charity after campaign, the news stories still incited public furor as the country was caught in a worst economic crisis since 1930s.
The McCain campaign broke its silence on the matter and provided some details to media on Friday, saying Palin "did not ask for or want any new clothes."
"About a third of them have been returned, a third of them sit in the belly of the plane and are available to her and her family for special campaign events, TV appearances and ad filming," said McCain's senior adviser Nicolle Wallace. "Another third was made available to her family for the public events during convention week."
Wallace also criticized the media storm about the wardrobe controversy as a terrible disservice to her and involved a "double-standard for women in politics."
"That any aspect of her shoes, clothes or appearance has become a distraction is a terrible commentary on the state of the media and politics," she said. "Let's get on with our great debate about the best direction for the country in these challenging times for our economy and our nation's security."
Palin, the Alaska governor, also defended herself in a Thursday night TV interview, saying "those clothes are not my property."
She also noted that her family usually shop frugally, and "it's kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported."

Toronto Fashion Week lives up to 'fabulous' tagline
Canadian designers were the toast of Toronto yesterday for L'Oréal Fashion Week's finale. Lucian Matis, Afshin Feiz and Denis Gagnon secured the coveted Friday evening timeslots, reminding the audience of the sheer strength of Canada's artistic talent.
The crowd gasped in unison as Matis' first number graced the runway. The loosely draped silk dress with floral overlay and jewel-incrusted neckline set the tone for the show. Matis repeated the flower print for several dresses and used a red silk for high waisted pants, an evening gown and a blouse emblazoned with a Warhol-style illustration.
Matis' models wore turban-inspired headdress that added a dramatic feel to his designs. His final number, a white wig and lavender tulle dress with a fitted bodice and white legging
s, was reminiscent of Marie-Antoinette.
Until November 16th, the ROM's Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume features a dress that belonged to Marie-Antoinette. Out of the vaults for a special viewing, the two-piece court dress embodies the French Queen's fashion sense -- and excess -- with its satin, silk, baubles and glass beads.
Drawing from this concept of rich fabrics and romance was Afshin Feiz's spring collection that featured sheer white chemises with tailored white shorts and skirts with chain and ruffle details. His pastel dresses featured feminine cutouts that accentuated the shoulders, neck and upper back.
A layered lavender dress with thick ruffled lapel floated down the runway with a satin train following. Although Feiz now resides closer to the palais de Versailles than his childhood home of Vancouver, his Canadian roots were showing last night. Immediately after this magnificent lavender dress exited the stage came Feiz to take his bow wearing a red "kiss me I'm Canadian" tee.
For Denis Gagnon's 'colour shock' show he diverged from creamy spring hues with bold red, pink, gold, white and black leather and
jersey dresses. With great attention to texture and form Gagnon's dresses were tied and braided with function in mind.
Models carried beautiful leather handbags Gagnon created exclusively for Fullum & Holt. His striking accessories, like winding spiked acrylic bracelets, evoked the African tribal influence in some late 19th century artwork like that of Jawlensky and Matisse. Denis Gagnon's show was simply fabulous.
It was a fitting ending for Toronto Fashion Week where this year's theme was 'fabulous.' In a speech at the Holt Renfrew media cocktail Monday, Robin Kay, Fashion Design Council of Canada president, said that in retrospect she would have been more careful in her choice of words for the Fashion Week tag in light of the current global economic crisis.
This is the Marie-Antoinette moment Guy Trebay recently described in a New York Times piece on Paris Fashion Week. Economic uncertainty has really put into question the survival of luxury brands and lifestyles.
Fashion is an art form and an expression of our identity and culture. Thankfully there is a platform for many talented Canadian designers to share their gift. This is truly fabulous.

Natural Tips for Shiny Hair
Do you long for shiny tresses, but lack the funds for expensive products and treatments? Don't despair - you don't have to be a supermodel to have gleaming locks. Before you mourn your lackluster strands, head to the kitchen and try these simple solutions to lock in shine the natural way.Sun, wind, saltwater, pollution, and chemicals are just some of the shine-depleting elements your hair may be subjected to on a daily basis. They can strip your hair of its natural oils and create build-up leaving it dull and lifeless. Fortunately, Mother Nature has a few remedies to share.
The Alluring Avocado
Mash an avocado (one avocado for short hair, two for long) in a bowl until it forms a thick paste. Spread the paste on your hair from root to tip and leave on for 20 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. Avocados are high in fatty acids and nutrients. Feed your hair!
Amazing Apple Cider Vinegar
Mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar with one quart of water and use as a hair rinse after your regular shampoo. Rich in alpha-hydroxy acids, apple cider vinegar helps break down residue build-up leaving your hair soft and full of shine. Rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar and it will be shining in no time.
Eggs Over Olive Oil
Beat together two eggs for short hair, three for long, and add in three tablespoons of olive oil. Coat your hair from root to tip and leave on for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. Eggs contain eleven essential nutrients and are packed with protein. Combine them with olive oil for conditioning and nourishment and you have one powerful duo.
Coconut Craze
Warm three tablespoons of coconut oil and gently comb into your hair from root to tip. Wrap your hair in a hot towel and let the oil sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. Loaded with antioxidants, coconut oil works to smooth dry and damaged cuticles and lock in shine.
Life doesn't have to be dull and neither does your hair! It's time to shine! Open your cabinet and start mixing, then sit back and bask in your natural glow.
Natural Ways to Lighten Your Skin
Dark spots, and freckles, and skin-damage - oh my! Looking to lighten your complexion? Every shade of skin is beautiful, but as we grow older our skin tone can change. Freckles may appear, dark spots can arise, and skin may not be as light as it once was. So, if you're still not ready to embrace your dark side, read on for a few natural whitening tips and tricks.
Use Sunblock
One of the easiest ways to stay fair is to use sunblock on a daily basis. Find a moisturizer that includes an SPF of 15 or higher and use it every morning after washing your face. Sunblock not only prevents your skin from getting darker, but also blocks harmful UV rays that can cause cancer and premature aging. Remember your hands when applying sunblock, as they are a prime area for age spots.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating once a week will remove dead skin cells to lighten and brighten your skin. Mix two tablespoons oatmeal and two tablespoons brown sugar with a quarter cup of milk, and stir until a paste forms. Gently scrub your face, rinse, and moisturize.
Make a Mask
A homemade mask is a great way to lighten your skin and a good excuse to kick back on the couch. Try using one once a week. Use one tablespoon of each of the following: sandalwood paste, lemon juice, tomato juice, and cucumber juice. Mix them all together to form a paste. Spread the mixture on your face and wait until it dries. Rinse and moisturize for a natural glow.
Licorice Extract
Licorice extract contains glabridin, a component that acts as a natural skin whitener. Apply a thin layer of the extract morning and evening, after you wash your face and before you moisturize. Licorice extract can be found at any health food store or ordered online. Be sure to store the bottle in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness. Note: test a small amount on the back of your arm before using on your face to be sure you do not have an allergic reaction.
Remember to love your skin no matter what color it is. It's a part of who you are and that's what makes you beautiful and unique.

Lots up Michelle Jank's fashionable sleeve
Fashion favourite Michelle Jank is in talks with a Perth gallery about holding her first exhibition in her home city of Perth next year.
Jank's star is shining brighter than ever thanks to her first foray into costuming, with the Sydney Dance Company's current production Sid's Waltzing Masquerade benefiting from the designer's gorgeous creations.
Combined with her third season showing at the Paris fashion shows and the resulting European orders for her delicate and beautiful creations, Jank has been kept busy over the past months.
Jank said Sid's Waltzing Masquerade will not be her last costuming project.
She feels choreographer Aszure Barton and herself are kindred spirits and costuming is the right fit for her designing talents.
The pair has been discussing working together on a new project in New York.
"She is a great discovery in my life," Jank says.
Working with dancers to create a special feel on stage was a new creative challenge that had proved the right fit.
"It was always about magnifying a feeling that she was creating, or perhaps creating tension and balance, adding texture where needed," Jank says of the current project."
I feel like it was somewhat like working on a large scale painting. Thinking about how the movement and shapes of the costumes affect the negative and positive space of the stage.
"Jank is about to commence work on the new 2009 campaign for the Sydney Dance Company and will be staying put in Sydney until closing night.
Planning on coming home for Christmas, the designer has even more projects up her fashionable sleeve.
"I am in the early days of planning a big collaboration with my creative friends in Sydney next year, a really big scale art work encompassing film, painting, dance, costume… it will be something pretty major," Jank says.
When she returns to Perth later this year Jank will hook up with mentor Wendy Marshall, who owns high end fashion boutique Elle in Nedlands.
"I'm looking forward to talking to Wendy about my next creative plans, that's my ritual," Jank says.
"She is my mentor and inspiration always."

T-shirt thief gets 14-month prison term
MINDEN, La. -- A Haughton man has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for stealing two packs of T-shirts.
Parish prosecutors say state District Judge Ford Stinson handed down the lengthy sentence to 40-year-old Dexter Rhodes for the misdemeanor crime because he had two prior misdemeanor theft convictions.
Sherb Sentell, the chief assistant district attorney for Webster Parish, says had Rhodes' criminal record been clean, he typically would have faced six months of parish jail time. Sentell says their administration will not pass repeat offenders off to other jurisdictions with only a slap on the wrist.

Lippygate: US election furore as Palin critics say she has tattooed lip-liner
She is the self-styled ‘Pitbull in Lipstick’ – but vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has become the subject of a fierce debate about whether her lip-liner is really a tattoo.
The discussion was started by Left-wing pundit Arianna Huffington, who claimed in a blog that the 44-year-old governor of Alaska had had her lip-liner permanently tattooed on.
The claim has prompted huge speculation on the internet and within the mainstream
Tight-lipped: Sarah Palin's camp won't discuss claims that her lip-liner is permanent
One detractor said: ‘She’s so vain and this is just another example of that.’A pro-Palin supporter shot back: ‘She’s a busy working mother and her make-up always looks impeccable. People love to attack her.’

Striker Heskey is back in fashion for England
LONDON: Emile Heskey is back in demand for England after a long spell in the shadows but the Wigan forward insists he never felt like
Heskey was the unsung hero of England’s stunning 4-1 victory over Croatia in last month’s crucial World Cup qualifier in Zagreb.
The former Liverpool star linked impressively with Wayne Rooney and gave Croatia’s defenders a torrid time with his combination of power and poise in his first start for coach Fabio Capello.
It was just like old times for Heskey, who formed an equally impressive little and large partnership with Michael Owen during Sven Goran Eriksson’s reign.
Heskey was eventually disgarded by Eriksson as a combination of poor form and Rooney’s emergence took its toll. But, with Capello showing little faith in Owen, there is a vacancy for a foil to Rooney and Heskey grabbed his chance with both hands against the Croatians.
“I don’t know if I went out of fashion but it’s nice to be wanted,” he said.
“Obviously the game against Croatia was tailor made for me because I like to put myself about and they had
some pretty big centre halves. So it was nice. It was physical but I don’t mind that.
“Not having played for about four years it’s just nice to be back. When I first came back it was strange because there were so many young players. I thought I was young myself but when you come into this squad, you feel a little bit old!”
The 30-year-old, who could miss today’s qualifier against Kazakhstan with a back injury, has been a revitalised figure since joining Wigan from Birmingham in 2006 and is benefitting from taking a more laidback approach to the game.
“I’m a bit more relaxed when it comes to football,” he said.
“When you’re younger, you’re really tense when you’re going into game and you get really nervous.
“I can see it in some of the lads when they go out on the pitch. For me, it’s not like it’s another game but you
prepare differently and you focus your mind a lot better.”
Heskey’s physical presence and selfless nature allowed Rooney to thrive in his favoured role, just behind a targetman, against Croatia. It is a role Heskey is happy to fulfil if it brings the best out of Rooney.
“You never know until you actually play with someone what the partnership’s going to be like.
“Wayne’s a fantastic player €” he’s shown that over the years €” but you never know how it’s going to work out,” Heskey said.
“It’s only when you start playing with them that you get a little understanding, knowing where he’s going to run and where you need to be, and you kind of build your game around your partner.
“He’s a fantastic talent so I hope I am getting the best out of him.” €” AFP

Alexander McQueen Wears Bunny Suit, Model Faints at Paris Show
Alexander McQueen's spring 2009 show in Paris ended a few hours ago. And McQueen took his bow in a bunny suit with some animal friends looking on in a fabulous Museum of Natural History–meets–high fashion setup we thought only existed in our wildest (zing!) dreams. (No, seriously — we love that museum.)
On a more somber note, however, the show wasn't all as fun as a trip to the museum. One model fainted as she exited the runway and had to be carried out.

Valentino Appoints New Designers, Doesn’t Tell Facchinetti
After the spring 2009 Valentino show in Paris on Friday, company CEO Stefano Sassi told reporters it was designer Alessandra Facchinetti's last collection for the house. Over the weekend the company confirmed Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, who have designed accessories for Valentino for ages, will take over as creative directors. However, Facchinetti wrote in a public e-mail the media heard of her dismissal before she did:"It was with deep regret that I learnt from the press that I would no longer be working with Valentino…
"This news came as a great surprise since the company's top management has not yet seen fit to inform me. I would like to thank Valentino s.p.a. for showing their appreciation of my 'creative contribution and my sophisticated talent' although I deeply regret the fact that this talent and contribution do not seem to have been adequately acknowledged."

Sarah Palin’s Hairstylist Has Been Identified!
The red highlights. The lash-skimming bangs. The half–French braid. And of course, that inimitable bouffant. Sarah Palin's hair has become as much of a conversation topic as that kitschy wink. But we all know a working mom with five kids can't get a mini-hive so smooth all on her own. Enter: Angela the hairstylist. W magazine recently learned that Angela has been traveling with Palin. She's based at the Hair Grove in Westlake Village, California, where she won't be available again until November 4.
W wasn't able to confirm Angela's last name since "the Hair Grove stopped answering our questions." But the magazine did find out how Palin found Hair Grove. So who lent a helping hand? Cindy McCain, of course! McCain directed Palin to the salon, which is where she found her own current stylist, Piper. McCain had reportedly inquired at the salon about extensions. Thankfully, she doesn't appear to have gotten them. But we wonder if McCain passed Angela down to Palin and took Piper for herself. McCain did sport a slight bouffant herself a couple of months ago but has recently — and wisely — taken to wearing her hair down. Guess we'll never know.
