Celebrity Suspect: Lady Gaga

Case: What has the Haus of Gaga done now? At Toronto’s Much Music Awards, Gagaloo sang “Hair” while rocking some outrageous turquoise body fuzz. We call this new trend the “Private Waterfall” look, with the emphasis on private. We love the wig, the pits are a bit unsettling, but acceptable only because it’s Gaga, but the turquoise merkin down below? Hold please.

Spa Treatment Sentencing: We hope these hair pieces are temporary and removable, however… there is a possibility that Gaga has gone, as the French say: au natural. In any case, we sentence her to multiple laser hair removal treatments for underarm and bikini line. Since we know Gaga has been rapid-fire switching up her look these days (long and grey, Cruella DeVille, body modifications), we (the judge and jury) recommend she take full advantage of TheRightDeal that launches tomorrow morning at 9 am. OH yes we’re spilling it early… 6 (SIX!) Laser Hair Removal Treatments at Randee Elaine Spa and Laser Center in NYC (reg. $450-$1500) for just $199. She could save up to $1,300 and use that money to buy more sunglasses and hair bows (aka trends we the jury approve of).

My awesome dad has his daily beauty routine down pat, and I love him enough to know that getting him any additional man themed spa products for Father’s day is not something he would appreciate (he told me he has better taste than I do, and I agree). With the holiday just around the corner I decided that instead of creating a list of products you can buy for your dad, it would be helpful to create a list of products that your dad will be happy you purchased for yourself. These affordable fixes will transform you from the little monster you were last night and back into daddy’s little girl. Unless you’re Lady Gaga, where being a little monster walk of shame is her daily mission.

Miss Opps carries two products I know my dad is grateful I own.

There is nothing I find more disturbing than seeing a girl out with her family in a crazy revealing top or dress.  I mean seriously, having your dad tell you to cover up at any age just sucks. Enter: the Boob Tube.  This low cost miracle is simply an unlined tiny tube top with elastic at the top and bottom to keep it in place.  It goes right over your bra and voila you can wear your favorite outfit without flashing your goods.  The boob tube comes in a variety of colors and styles so there is no excuse not to own one (cough cough maxi dress wearers of America cough cough). Boob Tube $19-$20:

Now I am personally not a fan of extremely low rise jeans, but I suppose I understand the desire to show a little skin.  If your jeans are so low that you are showing more whale tail than Sea World, I implore you to purchase JAKs for your Father’s Day brunch. JAKs is a shirt extender that is designed to look like a lace camisole.  It is worn over the top of your jeans and under your shirt creating a seamless flow to your outfit. This fashion saver not only covers up your crack, but will smooth out a muffin top as well.  I often have to control myself from encouraging women on the street to invest in this. JAKs $20:

There is no doubt about it, hangovers make you look trashy. I’m sorry, but it’s true; however this situation is easily hidden from your pops. I highly recommend NOT getting blitzed (I recall my Box Wine Rebellion of 2008) the night before Father’s Day, but those wine bombs can sneak up on you right quick. If you do wind up looking wrecked on Sunday morning the perfect product to hide the traces of the night before is:

Arctic root and caffeine are the not-so-secret ingredients of this product which makes tired eyes look alive in the wake of an evening of binge drinking. With a no mess formula and instant cooling effect you can’t go wrong.  Get it, and store it in your purse for emergencies. Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer 0.17 oz $18.50:

Those are just three products to use this Father’s Day to help you look less like Lindsay Lohan and more like the college graduation photo of you your dad keeps on his desk at work. Sense of decency and turquoise wig sold separately.

Is gray the new blonde? While Lady Gaga may say yes, Lady Gaga also shows up to award shows in unhatched eggs. She also gets over things pretty quickly – more quickly than it takes for you to accept that random gray strand that appeared overnight. Despite the noted Gaga and runway trend, you may not be ready to embrace it just yet. Many people are genetically disposed to go gray early—but are there simple ways to delay the inevitable?

Yes, says Los Angeles dermatologist Dr. Jessica Wu in her new book, Feed Your Face. Check out Dr. Wu’s secrets to halting the gray invasion, first shared on Healing Lifestyles. (Sign up for their daily wellness tips like the ones you see here each Friday!):

• Go nuts! Almonds boost levels of catalase, an enzyme that neutralizes hair-graying hydrogen peroxide in the body. Dr. Wu recommends snacking on dry-roasted, unsalted varieties.

• Pack in the produce. Eating a lot of antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies fights off free radicals like hydrogen peroxide and keeps your locks colorful.

• Butt out. Among a million other reasons to stop smoking… smoking cuts circulation to hair follicles, preventing them from getting the oxygen and nutrients needed for healthy hair, says Dr. Wu. She also notes that studies have shown men who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a week are almost twice as likely to go bald as those who don’t light up.

Celebrity Suspect: Lady Gaga

Case: We’d never thought the day would come. It seemed like the princess of darkness worked out a deal with gravity because up until now she barely even teetered in her sky-high heels. Gaga’s sidewalk strut took a turn for the worst when she took a painful tumble in London’s Heathrow Airport. This comes fresh off the heels of her freak out incident at Citi Field. Annoyed with paparazzi, Gaga stripped down to her undies, flipped off the crowd and took solace in Jerry Seinfeld’s sky box much to the comedian’s dismay.

Seinfeld stated, “This woman is a jerk.  I hate her.  I can’t believe they put her in my box, which I paid for.  You give people the finger and get upgraded?  Is that the world we’re living in now?  Why is she giving the finger?  How old is the finger?  How’d it even get to be the finger?  I don’t know what these young people think or how they promote their careers.”

Spa Treatment Sentence: A fall that hard warrants a body and ego soothing spa day… at least 50 miles from Jerry’s box. We’re sentencing Gaga to an Aromatherapy Tranquility Massage and Aromatherapy Customized Facial at Orange Sky Day Spa. Enjoy your sentence.

Given Alexander McQueen’s untimely and tragic death, we wanted to pay tribute to the vibrant life that shone through his work and his collections. Here’s just one instance of McQueen’s inimitable style: the infamous “Armadillo Shoes” worn by Lady Gaga in her edgy “Bad Romance” video.

With 10-inch heels, the shoes look almost alien–used by Gaga to great effect in dancing sequences, where you have to admit “alien” is a pretty great compliment.

What’s your favorite McQueen look?
