Mischa on a Night Out

post from StyleCritics on 02 July 2009 02:02:16 PM. © StyleCritics

Mischa Barton piled on the layers in one outfit, wearing a cropped leather jacket, striped cardigan and black tee all at once. She is spotted leaving the Bungalow 8 nightclub in London. Those studded shorts I love the most but sad to say, the fringed ankle boots ruined this outfit and the over layering.[Source]

Study Finds Vegetarians Have Slightly Less Dense
Bones

post from ShoppingBlog.com on 02 July 2009 02:00:00 PM. © ShoppingBlog.com

An Australian-Vietnamese study examing the connection between bone density and diet in 2,700 found that strict vegetarians had bones an average of 5% less dense than meat-eaters. The study found little difference between meat-eaters and ovolactovegetarians, people who eat eggs and dairy but not meat or fish.

The issue was most pronounced in vegans, who excluded all animal products from their diet and whose bones were six percent weaker, Nguyen said.

There was "practically no difference" between the bones of meat-eaters and ovolactovegetarians, who excluded meat and seafood but ate eggs and dairy products, he said.

"The results suggest that vegetarian diets, particularly vegan diets, are associated with lower bone mineral density," Nguyen wrote in the study, which was published Thursday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

There's another report on the study here on Science Alert. There was also a recent study that found vegetarians get less of certain types of cancer.

A Toilet Paper Wedding Dress We'd Actually Wear

post from iVillage - The Fashionator on 02 July 2009 01:36:00 PM. © iVillage - The Fashionator

We've got one more addition to our earlier post about silly summer stuff. Except that this is more crazy and amazing than it is silly--behold, a wedding dress made entirely out of toilet paper, glue, and tape. (No, we're not kidding!)

For Cheap-Chic-Weddings' fifth annual wedding dress contest, contestants had to create a wedding dress out of toilet paper. This incredible dress (and hat!), created by Ann Kagawa Lee from Hawaii, is the winner!

She says her theme was "Gone With The Wind" with Japanese origami, and the dress has been likened to an Oscar de la Renta couture creation.

As the winner, Ann received a $1000 prize and the dress reserves a place in the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! museum, but we think her unbelievable feat deserves more!

You can see the equally amazing dresses that came in second and third places at Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com.

Sears Tower's Glass Ledge Offers Amazing View

post from ShoppingBlog.com on 02 July 2009 01:00:00 PM. © ShoppingBlog.com

The Ledge on the Sears Tower consists of four glass boxes located 1,353 feet up the skyscraper. The Ledge's glass boxes extend out 4.3 feet from the skyscraper's Skydeck on the 103rd floor. This provides some amazing views and also likely gives some people quite a fright. The same concept was used in the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

Here's a Chicago Tribune video that shows what is like to be out on the Ledge. The Tribune also has an article here.

In a very emotional interview, Jermaine discusses the loss of his little brother, how he always believed in his innocence of the charges against him, and how much he loved Michael and even wished that he had died in his brother's place. Jermaine said that a therapist recommended that the family allow Michael's three children to see his body after he died. Jermaine was opposed to it at first, but relented. Take a look:

Hit the Roadie

The Rebecca Minkoff Rodie is a favorite here! I played around with the Roadie and fell in love. I could imagine slinging her over my shoulder for a long road trip, traveling, or just going out and about. It is easy to wear, the perfect size, and has the perfect zing with the studs. There [...]
