Dear Kate,
It must be weird when the world is your
SWF. Well, except for the whole having millions and millions of dollars part, but whatever.
But can you blame us? NO. If you weren't you, YOU would want to be Kate Moss. Just like us, you'd douse yourself in
Kate Moss perfume and pile on the
Kate Moss-endorsed YSL lipstick and the
Rimmel mascara and wear Kate Moss for Topshop hotpants to slag around the second floor of the METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART looking like a Francis Bacon-curious
fille de joie.
So you understand why we're upset about the new hair care brand that you developed with your hairdresser/business partner, James Brown (our dentist is named George Michael—COINCIDENCE?!).

It's a
FANTASTIC-smelling cologne, so no one would ever NOT want it. It just has a lovely little message, like a fortune cookie. Not that an EGOISTE would notice the message. He'd be too busy talking about how he swaggered into a bar in Soho and demanded a free Pellegrino and they just GAVE it to him, or mulling over his 'art career'.
I know at least one man who--even if he doesn't know it--is begging for this particular birthday gift. You?
I know it is the worst thing in the world to seemingly tacitly dismiss the last 10+ years of her life, but here goes: Alicia Silverstone still looks EXACTLY like
Cher from Clueless! We were squished together at the end of a bench at a vegan lunch for
her new line of cosmetics bags for Ecotools. She was in red Stella McCartney, a dress that totally channeled the scene where Cher gets mugged wearing Alaia in a valley parking lot (An Officially Iconic Fashion Moment in Cinema, P.S.).

I've been all over the country this summer
covering music festival style for luckymag.com (I just hit All Points West in New Jersey, and am soon headed to Lollapalooza in Chicago), and what I've learned is that I'm probably the worst beauty editor beauty-packer ever. I never remember anything cosmetic, though I never seem to forget to bring at least thirteen magazines (I wish I was joking).
But today I am taking home
this minimalist-chic travel beauty kit from MyTagalongs, a cool, design-y (that's right) company that makes "travelling" accessories for trips like "lengthy seaside holidays", that much in turn make me feel glamorously Euro-chic and intercontinental, even more so than my surprisingly unpopular "military-time only" phase. The airless pump canisters are good-sized but sleek and durable; plus, on the back of the package it says (in neon font!), "TOUT DE GO, BOULOUT, RESTO, DISCO" and a bunch of other stuff. And for $6, you can also get a
cute 5-pack of disposable thongs, which is another reason I love the French.
Speaking of
Ms. Roncal, the reason it occurred to me to ask her to guest-blog in the first place was because I've been obsessing over her
Evercolor Shadow Stick, which is incredibly long-wearing (she calls it her "tattoo in a stick") and acts like primer, eye shadow, eyeliner and a brush all in one (and you know
I know good eye makeup). For day, I just run the shadow stick like normal eyeliner; to smoke it up, I use my finger to blur the line. Once the shadow sets, it'll be there until you decide to take it off. Seriously.
Amazzzzing. Has anyone else tried it or another Mally Beauty item?
