Armani Oasis in Dubai
Armani's first hotel in the world, which occupies eight floors of the soaring Burj Khalifa in Dubai, a dramatic tower into the sky that is the world’s tallest building.
The 160-room hotel, for which almost no expense has been spared, boasts eight restaurants, a spa and three retail outlets.
In addition to the hotel, Armani has designed seven floors of Armani Residences, also in the Burj Khalifa. Like the hotel, the residences are fully furnished by Armani.

Self-Tanner
L'oreal Sublime Glow Micro-mist It's true. I must confess. . . might slight obsession with a sunshine'y glow. I want one year round.
Nothing to strong but just some pigment.
Constantly in search of a self tanner, I have rubbed and sprayed on many creams and goo.
Recently I discovered L'Oreal's micro-mist. It is a super find spray that just lightly coats the skin. I applied it 2x on Saturday and as of today, I am still loving the color on my skin. No mess, no hassle, dries quick. Perfection.

Young designers on the scene: Ling & Emily Chen and Connie Wong collaborated to create an accessory line. These scarves look great!And these are not wispy spring neckties. Imagine a swath of cashmere, sourced from the mountains of Mongolia, emblazoned with images of bird flocks, willow branches, even an oversize (and creepily mesmerizing) skeleton.
I will be keeping an eye on this line forsure!

Cynthia Rowley Shapewear. . .
Her new lingerie-inspired collection, dubbed SLIM by Cynthia Rowley, features vaguely VPL-like detailing, including cutouts, sheer paneling, and color-blocking on the contour slips, smoothing bras, and high-waisted panties that flatten those tummy bulges.
The best part is they come in two creative palettes that aren’t merely flesh tones: one set is a black–grayish-purple–nude combo, while the other is nude–hot pink–pastel blue.
Items will be available this July, the range retails for $118 to $226.

Halfway Hookers. . . This is worth the read!
The sexiest part of an affair is where it begins. . .
You know what the middle looks like, hotel-sheeted and ultimately routine, and you know the way it will end, but where and how it began is always a little surprising.
Historically, powerful men with slavering appetites have mainly acquired their girlfriends the way a pair of pants gathers lint—rather incidentally. Bill Clinton and his intern. JFK and his secretaries, his stewardess. Collecting a mistress in this way seems, as everything does in the past, more innocent. An abundant young woman wears a daring dress to the office party, and catches the president’s eye.
At the other end of the infidelity spectrum, there is the escort, the call girl. From Charlie Sheen to Eliot Spitzer, famous men since the dawn of arousal have valued the sex professional. She is discreet and it is a transaction and there is the added benefit of selection. The office intern might have caught your eye, but if you’d had it your way, you might have requested her trimmer around the center.

The most famous of Woods’s alleged mistresses is Rachel Uchitel, who occupies a position of power in this strobe network of girls and money and celebrity. As VIP concierge and director of VIP hospitality at Tao in Vegas and at Dune in Southampton and at the Griffin, Marquee, Stanton Social, and Pink Elephant in Manhattan, she was the ambassador of client desire.
