Agyness Deyn’s Dream Role: Model Agyness Deyn shadowed an exotic dancer to learn the ins and outs of the business for her role in the upcoming film Pusher. Roles she’d like to play next? Jane Eyre or Joan of Arc. {Vogue UK}
“Goodsmellas” Are Dudes Who Love Scents: The male counterparts of “perfumistas,” “Goodsmellas” are a community of scent-loving men. They range from government workers to members of the NYPD, including one 9/11 responder who lost his sense of smell for two years before becoming a scent fanatic. Some Goodsmellas have as many as 420 separate niche scents. And they’re on YouTube. Smell on, ‘Smellas. {Racked NY}

Madonna Makes Out with Herself in Her Fragrance Ad: Here’s the ad for Madonna’s Truth or Dare fragrance, featuring the creator (who has “always been obsessed with fragrance”) on the verge of making out with herself. There’s no doubt Madge looks fab here, but also at least 20 years younger than her actual age (53)– we dare you to find an un-retouched pixel. Truth or Dare is available April 1 at Macy’s. {US Weekly}
Adam Levine has Got the Scent Like Jagger: Following in the manly, fragrant footsteps of Bruce Willis comes another (albeit a little less macho) perfume from Maroon 5 and The Voice‘s Adam Levine. The scents for both men and women, named ’222′, will be out next year and will “reflect Levine’s personality and style.” Market research is a fascinating thing. {Refinery29}
Spanx Creator is a Young Billionairess: Forbes has named Spanx inventor Sara Blakely as the world’s youngest female self-made billionaire. Apparently, Blakely once dreamt of playing Goofy at Disney World but was a bit too short for the highly regarded role– Gawrsh, wonder who’s laughing now? {Jezebel}

Kate Young on Stylists as Celebrities, Dressing Michelle Williams for the Oscars and Her New Gig For Macy’s
Kate Young was recently named one of “Hollywood’s Most Powerful Stylists” by the Hollywood Reporter and after one look at her celebrity clientele, it’s easy to see why. She dresses Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz, to name a few, all people on whom we’ve come to rely for spot-on perfect red carpet looks. This also means that, considering it’s awards season and two of her clients are very much a part of that, Kate is super busy. Still, she found time for another new project.
She’s the latest INC Editor at Large for Spring/Summer 2012 at Macy’s. She follows inaugural INC Editor at Large Anna Dello Russo and her duties are a bit vague, as those of an ‘Editor at Large’ tend to be. What we know for sure is that they include styling the new INC collection, which you can peruse below, and a hip party thrown in her honor, which took place yesterday evening at Le Bain. We stopped by to chat with the super stylist about that gig, plus the attention celebrity stylists have been getting lately, dressing Natalie and Michelle for the Oscars and other upcoming projects, like Natalie’s next Dior campaign (!).
