On a lighter note...

Loving Kim Kardashian's lighter locks. (found via TMZ.com - one of my guilty pleasures. Image credit: Getty.) I went darker the last time I had my hair done ... against my better judgement. I've read that the darker your hair is, that any flaws in your skin will be more noticeable. (translation: next time I will be framing my face with highlights...)

Have you seen Fergie's darker look? I'm not sure if I like this or not... The "before" is on the right. (It's a much softer look, don't you think?) (found via Glamour's Beauty Blog. Images: WireImage.) There's a survey being taken over on BellaSugar ... currently over 70% do not like the new look.


What do you think?

(By the way, this reminds me of a post by one of my favorite bloggers ... who is absolutely adorable with her dark locks - even first thing in the morn.)

Bravo, Senator Specter!

So thrilled to hear Senator Arlen Specter has come back to the Democratic Party. I'm sure it was not an easy decision.

Where is the love...?

There is an unscientific poll going on over at MSNBC.com - asking people to "Give President Obama a Grade". Apparently, a bunch of conservative bloggers have been encouraging their readers to vote and give a failing grade. For the record, I gave him an A.

On a side note, I recently found this variation of Rosie the Riveter on Etsy.

I've also been coveting this simple necklace that says it all, also found on Etsy.
