Happy National Backward Day! See the Stars Who've Aged in Reverse

Stars Who Never Age, Face Splits
Happy National Backward Day! In honor of this ridiculous holiday, we put together a mind-blowing gallery of celebrities who literally look like they've aged backward. For real, you're going to trip.

Put on your backward pants and enjoy the stars I've rounded up for your viewing pleasure. Day Backward National happy! God, I am clever.

Let Your Actions Speak Louder By Majorie Harvey

Let Your Actions Speak Louder
Twitter fights, social media rants… we all have a lot to say. As American as apple pie and the colors red, white, and blue, so too is our right as US citizens to exercise free speech. Now more than ever there are a myriad of platforms for people to express their opinions, thoughts, and ideas; sometimes to their credit and other times to their detriment. When you factor in the usage of comment sections on most digital platforms, the opportunity for each of us to make a statement becomes infinite, or at least it seems that way.

David Bowie Leaves Nearly Half of $100 Million Fortune to Iman, Rock Icon's Dying Wishes Revealed: Report

Iman, David Bowie
New details following David Bowie's death have been revealed.
The late rock icon's will, which was filed in court on Friday in Manhattan, allegedly revealed that Bowie has left nearly half of his $100 million estate to his wife Iman, along with the couple's home on Lafayette Street in Manhattan, according to the New York Post's Page Six, who obtained the documents.
Their daughter, Alexandria, gets his Ulster County home in upstate New York, and will split the remaining of Bowie's fortune with his son from a previous relationship, Duncan Jones.

Who’s Watching Your Kids? Toddler Placed In ‘Time Out In 3-Degree Temperature Without A Coat

While we understand the need to discipline a child, some tactics are abusive. Allegedly, The Kinder Care Daycare in Eagan, Minnesota put a 4-year-old girl in “time out” for screaming in class. She was made to stand outside of the building where it was merely 3 degrees. The added windchill made the frigid air feel like -9.

Rihanna’s “ANTI” Album Is Already Platinum

Rihanna and The Clara Lionel Foundation Host 2nd Annual Diamond Ball
Move over, Adele.
Just when you thought Rihanna’s reign was getting a little rocky, the Roc Nation pop star surprise-released her eighth studio album this week, and managed to move over a million units.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Rihanna’s ANTI album is officially platinum.
Due to the impact digital has had on music over the past few years, RIAA counts Rihanna’s 1.4 million digital downloads towards her overall album sales. However, Billboard and Nielsen are not counting the TIDAL downloads.
So fans will have to wait until next week to see how ANTI really performed on the charts.

The Best Oprah Winfrey GIFs of All Time

"You get a GIF, and you get a GIF... everybody gets a GIF!"
Her royal highness Oprah Winfrey (not her actual title, but we're going with that) is celebrating a birthday.
The legendary TV host is 62-years-old today.
Winfrey has made history for her career, her philanthropy, her memes...
She has racked up so many accomplishments in her life, and still has much more to do, but we'd like to take a moment to celebrate the beautiful gift of GIFs she has given us.
Because that's important, too.
Oprah has taught us the art of being cool.

5 Days, 5 Ways: Victorian Fashion Is Back—in a Big Way

Dakota Johnson, ESC: Victoriana
Fashion is all about reinvention, and these five stars (and the designers they're wearing) are doing just that.
If you're unfamiliar with the Victoriana trend, it's all about ruffles, high necklines, shirt buttons and neck ties. It's an easy way to add femininity and elegance to any wardrobe (your everyday habit of wearing jeans and a T-shirt won't fly forever) and it can be as significant or as subtle as you'd like. No wonder the historic period had a lasting impression on fashion, right? Clothing circa the Victorian era is going to look so good on you circa right now.

Empire's Jussie Smollet Identifies as Gay but Hasn't Ruled Out the Possibility of Falling in Love With a Woman

Jussie Smollet, Out
Jussie Smollet is making waves. And not just as a result of his critically lauded role as Jamal Lyon on Fox's Empire.
The actor and self-proclaimed activist graces the cover of Out magazine's March issue and his perspective is arguably just as on-point as his acting chops. Jussie sat down with the magazine to discuss his role on the hit show, his identity as a gay man in Hollywood, and what he calls a "conversation that deserves to be had."
So, what did the actor have to say for himself? A lot. Jussie revealed in an impressively forthright interview why he felt it was time to come out publicly when he did and how he regards his Empire fame as a catalyst for stimulating a dialogue that is often set to the back burner.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2016


Dior Couture Spring 2016 32

The anticipation was palpable at this season’s couture show for Dior, due in large part to Raf Simons’ abrupt resignation as creative director. With uncertainty looming in the air, there were obvious questions surrounding who would be at the helm of the house’s atelier and what direction the aesthetic would lean toward now.
Those that bore witness to Simons’ inaugural collection for Dior during 2012’s spring couture season (or tuned in to the documentary Dior & I, which chronicled the events leading up to the afore-mentioned) can agree that all the painstaking attention he paid to every stitch and every nuance translated from his imagination and inspiration to the runway exceeded his expectations and those of onlookers.  His interpretation of the Dior woman during his reign was the perfect marriage of ultra feminine elements, vibrant prints and colors, modernity, and exquisite tailoring.  And he did all of this while remaining true to the essence of all things Dior.

Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ Hits 1 Million Downloads

Rihanna
That Rihanna reign just won’t let up. Only 14 hours after the surprise release of ANTI, 1 million people worldwide have downloaded the singer’s eighth album.
To cap off her ANTIdiaRy campaign with Samsung, Rihanna distributed download codes to fans, who were able to download ANTI for free. More than 1 million copies were downloaded on TIDAL in a 14-hour period. All download codes have now been redeemed.
“Rihanna, Samsung, and TIDAL would like thank the more than 1 million fans who have downloaded ANTI and made it an overnight success, exceeding expectations,” read a press release.

Liquid Lipsticks: The Key to Pouting It Out Like Lupita Nyong'o

ESC, Liquid Lipsticks
Lipstick has always been the best way to instantly (and easily) transform any look. No wonder beauty powerhouses are constantly coming up with new ways to reintroduce it. There have been everything from lip creams to lip crayons to lip tints, but none of those hold a candle to what liquid lipstick can do.
From classic shades of red and pink to Lupita Nyong'o's midnight blue lip, this genre of lipstick is really for everyone. It gives you the color of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss (unless it's matte, of course) and the best part? You only need one coat for the product to do what it intended. Say goodbye to reapplying and hello to your new favorite makeup staple!

Barbie Gets a Body Makeover! Mattel Debuts Tall, Petite and Curvy Models of the Doll

Barbie, Mattel, Curvy
Nearly 60 years since she first stepped out on the scene, Barbie is getting a brand new body—and proving in the process that one size doesn't actually fit all.  
After years of demands for physical change in the iconic doll, Mattel has finally heeded the public's requests, announcing Thursday that Barbie will take on three new shapes for 2016 and beyond.
"Yes, some people will say we are late to the game," Evelyn Mazzocco, head of the Barbie brand, told TIME. "But changes at a huge corporation take time."

What No One Tells Women About Returning To Work After Maternity Leave

Adjusting to life after having a baby is not easy. On top of learning how to take care of this tiny human, you also have to learn to juggle the numerous responsibilities you had before becoming a mother for the first, second or third time.
Some employers offer family or maternity leave for their colleagues who recently had children. The standard time off for a new mother is typically 6 weeks. During this time, the new working mom is allowed to spend this allotted break to bond with her new family, make arrangements for childcare, and (most importantly) rest.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2016 Couture

Show Review: Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2016 Couture

Every designer has an inspiration for his or her collection, but few take their subject matter as far and as deep as Jean Paul Gaultier. He loves to play on the side of kitsch and shows some of the most ostentatious and bold looks on the runway season after season: creating one of the must-see catwalks consistently and essentially making him a natural fit for Couture. His Spring 2016 influence was that of legendary Parisian hotspot, Le Palace—a party go-to in the 70’s for people like Gaultier and all of his famous friends and muses.

When Facing Opposition By Majorie Harvey.

teewhy-hive.blogspot.co.uk
Last week, my husband hosted a Stepmom Summit on his show, that was designed to explore many of the numerous issues stepmothers face when dealing with a blended family. I was a part of the panel along with rapper T.I’s wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and Brenda Ockun. So many of the scenarios and questions the women in the audience presented, reflected situations I have lived through. I could tell by the numerous head nods in the audience, that many other women were relating to the dilemmas, as well. However, there was one particular question raised by a stepmother who was contending with children being taught by their mother to ridicule and ostracize her, specifically regarding her weight. The pain on her face reflected a mere glimpse of the deep seated anguish that I’m sure overwhelmed her heart.

What once was an exclusive hush-hush gathering of fashion’s creme-de-la creme, is becoming more and more of a mainstream event. Not that the immaculate craftsmanship has in any way diminished, nor has the extravagance of each design or its corresponding price tag.

Juice Beauty Review: Gwyneth Paltrow's New Makeup Line Is Put to the Test

Gwyneth Paltrow, Juice Beauty
Expectations were pretty high when Juice Beauty came out with its new organic Phyto-Pigments™ makeup line. What made them even higher? Finding out Gwyneth Paltrow was their creative director. #Casual
Like with most celeb beauty lines, E! Style Collective put the products to the test. Makeup artist to the stars Julianne Kaye brought the line with her to Sundance for a full examination. Note: Winter was in full-force, so depending on your climate results might be slightly different.
The Packaging: At first sight, the packaging "screams organic," noted Julianne. "The silver/grey logo is super simple without being generic, so that's a plus."
There were various products for Julianne to try: the Phyto-Pigments Illuminating Primer, Precision Eye Pencil, Lip Crayon, Liquid Lip and Lip Cream. All of which she wore on separate occasions.

It seems like the late Michael Jackson himself would also be very unhappy with the casting decision for Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon.
