GirlPaint Up For Grabs!

Due to several projects pulling me indefinitely away from my beloved blog, GirlPaint, I am sad to announce that I must depart as the blog’s sole content provider.

I have had 1 1/2 incredible years at the helm and I want to personally thank everyone, in particular GirlPaint’s loyal fans and readers, who have brought about the blog’s tremendous growth and attention. We have come a long way together in a short period of time!

If you are interested in acquiring GirlPaint and continuing to ‘grow the brand,’ feel free to contact me by email.

All the best,

Comments for a Cure Official Kick-off

Today, Monday June 4, 2007, is the official Kick-off date for Comments for a Cure, a Beauty Blog Network-wide cancer fund-and-awareness raising effort.

GirlPaint has pledged that for every comment posted beginning today and running through Wednesday, June 6th, $1 will be donated to Komen for the Cure in order to help in the effort to bring a stop to this killer disease that affects 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 3 women.

We beauty bloggers appreciate your support and hope that, even beyond June 6th, we’re all a little more vigilant and a lot more educated about cancer, its effects and its victims…and hopefully, there are far fewer of them in the days to come.

Many types of cancer are partially preventable, so please visit www.PreventCancer.org to learn more…don’t forget to share what you learn with your friends and family. If you’d like to learn more about the Susan G. Komen, the Foundation and Komen for a Cure, GirlPaint’s selected cancer charity, visit www.Komen.org.

From Hotel Hilton to the Big House

Looks like America’s princess, Miss Paris Hilton, is off to jail. Jail in June…it’s like a pop song, ain’t it?

Seriously though, after three times being stopped for wreckless or drunk driving, you might think Paris would get the message. It took her being sentenced to 45 days in jail (no substitutes, either…no house arrest, no ‘electronic’ jail and no work releases or furloughs), 36 months of probation and $1500 in fines for her to possibly realize that no matter how cute, rich or otherwise perfect you (and the rest of the world…in particular, your crazy mother) may think you are, you simply are not above the law.

I have to say that I found her mother, Kathy’s, reaction very strange. Perhaps the elder Hilton has been altering herself chemically, too. According to AP Reporter, Sandy Cohen, “As a city prosecutor said during closing arguments that Hilton deserved jail time, Hilton’s mother, Kathy, laughed. When the judge ruled, Kathy Hilton then blurted out: “May I have your autograph?”

Wow, it sounds as though massive amounts of money coupled with constant media attention coupled with questionable principals might make one a little batty.

Side note: the judge’s name who ruled in this case is Michael T. Sauer…gotta love that.

She Drew #1

Congratulations to Drew Barrymore for being named #1 Most Beautiful person by People. What I find even cooler is that she is one of seven beauties that agreed to have a photo published without makeup…with faces exposed!

Now that’s beautiful.
