Find Out Why Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts’ L’Oréal Ads Have Been Banned in the UK

With governments getting involved in the sometimes misleading world of beauty advertising, cosmetics companies are going to have to ease up on the airbrushing, as L’Oréal just learned the hard way. The UK government recently released guidelines limiting the use of misleading ad alterations, and the American Medical Association recommended similar measures here in the US. The UK is definitely putting its money where its mouth is, and just banned a series of ads featuring Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington.

Last Night’s Party: Tiffany Launches a New Site With Ed Burns and It’s All About L-O-V-E

On Wednesday night, Tiffany brought its signature blue to the Crosby Street Hotel to celebrate the launch of the jewelry brand’s new website–WhatMakesLoveTrue.com–its corresponding iPhone app, and a screening of a short film by Edward Burns made especially for the site. As fans of romance and fine jewelry, we popped by to see how the name synonymous with both interpreted “true love.”

There were turquoise platters filled heart-shaped blinis and mini cupcakes, and a photo booth where attendees could snap themselves against a blue heart background (presumably with a significant other) and either print the mementos or upload them to the web. It was pretty adorable, especially seeing couples cuddle up to take one. A particularly attentive touch was the choice of music. The DJs–DJ MOS and DJ Kiss–are newlyweds, having tied the knot in January after six years of dating. MOS said he thought the site was “an amazing, great idea. So helpful, especially for guys. We wanna know like, ‘how do I do this, am I doing it the right way?’”

So what exactly does the site do?

The one exception? Madonna for [...]

When Models Laughed

This should make your day. We stumbled on a video of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and maybe Amber Valetta (but I’ve watched it five times and still can’t tell for sure) posing for maybe Mario Testino (going off the voice here, he doesn’t make an appearance) for an almost vintage Pirelli calendar shoot.

But for the occasional event that I wish I was attending on some summer weekend, like this one. I’m occasionally found in Montauk (which I so [...]
