Huffington Post

Last night, we stopped by the Huffington Post Game Changers Awards at Skylight Soho. Aside from odd occurrences like Occupy Wall Street protesters chanting outside and a fire alarm going off, there was an interesting mix of people there. We chatted briefly with Bai Ling, who was surprisingly pleasant to talk to even though her presence there was kind of baffling. The former Celebrity Rehab star told us she had a new song out on iTunes called "Rehab" and that her style has gotten more conservative since she got sober. Later on, we caught up with Warby Parker's Neil Blumenthal David Gilboa and Andrew Hunt. When asked what they thought of all the companies copying them (Eyefly, Shauns Shades), Neil offered, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...I don't know why someone would want to dedicate time to copying someone else, though."

Heidi Klum is the latest model to pen a blog for the Huffington Post (Jessica Stam wrote about cell phone etiquette for Huffpo Canada in June). In "Caring for my Kids' Hair," Heidi waxes poetic on the challenges of just that. Apparently, three of her four kids (with musician Seal) have curly hair, while her daughter Leni (who has a different biological father) has straight hair. This, I realized, after much confusion, is why the blog appears in the "Black Voices" section of the online magazine. I know from personal experience that "mixed" curly hair can be a major challenge that most people don't know what to do with and Heidi actually offers some pretty helpful advice.

The Huffington Post kindly posted another set of images from Tom Ford's Vogue Paris, and we trolled the mag's site for more. Click through to see the major spreads, as well as a bonus video from the Vogue.fr website, which examines the January 1945 issue. We have no idea what the voice-over is saying, but the pictures are pretty.
