Mona Liza Reyes, Another Look


I did an entry on Filipino figure athlete Mona Liza Reyes awhile back.
But what I didn't know was that this lovely lady is involved in Knock Out Dog Fighting, an anti-dogfighting campaign dedicated to stopping cruelty and abuse.
As a person that does animal rescues I really appreciate what these people are doing.
We've rescued a few Pits ourselves.
In addition to that, she is a volunteer coach with "Girls on the Run". The Girls on the Run program is a 12- week training course which targets 8 – 11 year old girls.
So i thought I would do another entry on this lady who not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well.

You can learn more about Knock Out Dog Fighting here
And you can visit Monica's website and get some free fitness tips from the lady herself here.

Victoria Beckham appeared sexy with underwear from Giorgio Armani


Victoria Beckham poses seductively in her underwear and heels for Giorgio Armani’s latest advertising campaign.

The photoshoot took place in Los Angeles, where the Beckhams’ home is based. The pictures were taken by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.



In her first campaign for Armani, Posh models the new Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear range, an undertaking she described as an “honour”.

Armani himself said he chose mum-of-three Victoria “because she is a stylish and intriguing woman.”

Lyen Wong, Another Look


Since arms seem to be the rule of the day, here is a shot of fitness trainer and fitness competitor Lyen Wong's well defined arm.
I guess being a fitness trainer, Lyen is her own walking advertisement.
You can't buy publicity that good!
And speaking of Lyen's personal training, here is a link to her website where you can learn all about that.

George Returns to ER

Yes, it is very true! George Clooney will be playing Dr. Ross once again when he makes a guest appearance for ER's 15th and final season. Even more exciting, the sexy doc was said to be filming with his ER love interest, Julianna Margulies! (I've caught a glimpse of him filming and it appears that he is wearing a wedding ring! Mr. and Mrs. Doug Ross, loves it!)I can't contain my excitement! The hospital drama has stepped up this season with appearances from some of our favorite docs, but I have a feeling this one might top them all! Tune in! The season finale airs April 2nd on NBC.

Beyonce Sings to the President

The songstress sang a beautiful rendition of "At Last" for President Obama's first dance with wife Michelle (who might I add was clad in Jason Wu) at the Inaugural Neighborhood Ball following the Inauguration. The First Couple dazzled on the dance floor as the whole world watched their incredible moment.


Wedding Hairstyles Ideas for Brides

Weddings are always changing, and yet they remain timeless, especially when we look at the hairstyles of the bride and her handmaids. There is no doubt that the most popular look for brides has been the princess updo.


This has been the preferred style for decades, and it will remain so for many more. There is a good reason for this. The height of a good updo creates a sense of elegance and style in the wearer, and the strands that can be allowed stay down the sides of the face serve to frame the eyes and cheekbones of the bride in a playful way that suits the joyful event. However, many young women feel that they need to stand out in their appearance, and they often opt for different looks.


When chosen carefully, this can create a wonderfully wild and fun feel to the wedding. But the choice must be done clearly and carefully, because if the bridesmaids are given to understand that they all have complete freedom to chose their own hairstyles, the end result could be upstaging styles on the part of one or more maids, or a complete jumble of unrelated haircuts that fail to enhance the event in any way.


If the bride opts for a short and curled bob, a stylist should coordinate her look with the bridesmaids, ensuring that each woman has a short look that does not compete for the eye with the bride’s hairdo. This applies to any choice the bride makes, eventually. Communicate clearly and enjoy the results!

Sophisticated Hairstyles for 2009 Spring-Summer

When everyone is looking for long hairstyles you still have much broad range of short hairstyles to choose from. Most importantly, you must know your facial structure and the body type before you conclude any of the short hairstyles you want to go.

2009 most popular short hair styles with highlights
Let find out some Cool Hairstyles for Spring/Summer 2009

short bob hairstyles with side parted hair
To give a pixie a hipper feel, hair is snipped asymmetrically. The longer side of the cut is directed forward to veil short, cury bangs that are achoed by flirty spikes at the far back of the crown.

Cutting Edge hairstyles for 2009 spring
If you want to take your hair this short, it helps if you have model-like features, because there's nothing you can hide behind. The bare but beautiful boyish cut features short, blunt bangs and sheared sides. Styling is practically non-existent. You can achieve this style by simply blow dry, comb in place and go.

short celebrity hairstyles for spring-summer 2009
If your hair is thick, cutting it short does not mean losing out in the fullness department. By positioning long layers through the crown and styling them forward with volumizer and round brush, you've got a look that's sure to turn some heads.

2009 Spring Haircuts - Katie Holmes Hairstyles Pictures

When Katie Holmes, the star of major hit movies such as “Mad Money” and “The Dark Knight,” wears a new hairstyle, every major hairstylist in the country notices her choice!



Katie has proven to be a true trendsetter for her sexy hairstyles. She is one of those lucky girls with a perfectly oval face and supremely delicate features, and there just aren’t many looks that don’t work for her, as attested by the mountainous volume of paparazzi photos and glamorous spreads in the best fashion magazines. Her flexibility and talent for looking good in any hair became evident in the second year of “Dawson’s Creek,” the hit TV series that launched her career.



When she did wear short styles, Katie discovered that they looked great on her. Since then, she has become a real leader in the rediscovery of the bob. With her pixie nose and chin, a short bob looks great on Katie, and she has exploited this in several grand red carpet appearances. Marriage and parenthood has led Katie back to longer hairdos, however. Today, she is usually seen in long and wavy glamour looks, having left the bob behind in the days of her girlhood.

Obama Sworn In

Today marked a historical day as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. With attendees like Beyonce, Jay-Z and former presidents Carter and Bush, the ceremony was emotional yet exciting as history was made. The President was joined by wife Michelle (who wore Isabel Toledo) and daughters Sasha and Malia.

On a different note, as the Bush daughters watch their parents pack up and return to Texas, they left a touching letter for the Obama girls as to what to expect with their father as president.

Kelly Osbourne Arrested!

The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne was arrested on assault charges for allegedly slapping a journalist (over an article written about her model boyfriend Luke Worrall) in a London nightclub last year. Although she was released on bail, come March, Osbourne will face authorities once again.

*Update: Osbourne has just checked into a L.A. rehab center for 30 days to address personal issues. Mom Sharon said, "Yeah, Kelly's in rehab. What else can we say? She knew that it was the right thing to do at this point and we're proud that she did it. The family is all standing behind her. Kelly knew that she needed help and she's getting it. We just pray that everything's going to be okay."

This 5'4" 109 pound beauty was born in the Philippines and raised in Houston Texas.
She appears to be just starting out, with a website coming soon, http://www.mcbarao.com/
Maybe when the website is up I can get some more info.
I have no idea if she has been in any figure competitions, if she's a personal trainer (although I did read where she said she wanted to help people with their fitness goals) or anything like that.
MAYBE she'll stop by and enlighten us.
