As we here in the Western world bid Movember goodbye, men in the Middle East are showing much more commitment to facial hair. Apparently doctors are doing tons of mustache implants there. {HuffPo} Kate Middleton wore a cute plaid McQ coatdress and played field hockey in heels on a recent visit to her old school, St. Andrews. {US Weekly} The "i-cone-ic" bra that Madonna wore during her 1990 Blond Ambition tour has auctioned for a cool £32,450- that's over $52,000. {The Telegraph}
