Christina Aguilera is a very attractive girl, naturally.  But add on 10 lbs. of makeup, and she looks like a clown!!  Here she is at last night’s launch of Rock the Vote 2008. 

I’d like to dedicate this post to Miss Christina Aguilera.  If this makeup remover won’t take off all that gunk on your face, then you have serious problems!

Green With Envy

With the holidays coming up, I was all set to show off my Christmas cheer with a trip to my manicurist and a fresh coat of NARS Zulu nail polish. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t act quick enough and Sephora is completely sold out and unsure if they will be able to re-stock in time for Christmas to meet the demand. I was devastated, but not as devastated as I was when I learned my treasured bottle of OPI-Jasper Park (now discontinued) was lost somewhere between London and Paris on a Christmas European vacation. So if you’re like me and you need finger-ly Christmas décor, have no fear, Zoya comes bearing gifts.

Zoya’s “Suvi” is an enchanting emerald green with just a hint of shimmer for some holiday glam. You better stock up now because it seems that quality green nail polish comes and goes as quickly as the holidays.

Zoya Nail Lacquer is sold in professional nail salons and specialty beauty supply stores.

LOVE HER! August Rush star Keri Russell, 31, appears on the cover and in an inside spread of Page Six Magazine this week in promotion of her new film, in which she plays a mother. The real-life mom to River, 5 months, met the interviewer at an NYC coffee-shop with her son in tow — here are the highlights.

On slings: I love these things! I just don’t understand how people can manage strollers with all the stairs in this city.

On losing her baby weight by nursing: Breastfeeding! It’s miraculous! I mean, within two weeks, you’re like, ‘Whoa, where is everything?’

On toting her son around: I’ll definitely bring him to sets….though I’ve been in denial, thinking I wouldn’t need help, but I guess I will. It’s just the idea of someone else taking care of my kid is so weird to me.

It’s crazy! Friends of mine sent their kid to, granted, a really cool school in California, but it costs 30 grand a semester. For junior high! Do you know how much college costs? Who can afford that? I figure we need to find a full-time babysitter before we start dealing with that stuff. [laughing]

Where are the curls? I’m addicted to straightening my hair. I could have used some hair-dryer action back in the day, to be honest.

If you have curly or wavy hair like Keri try,
