Beehive... behave!

The swinging sixties first introduced us to the beehive and changed the hair industry forever. Every girl sprayed and teased her "bump" to perfection.

Now, beehive-fever is seen on every catwalk - but it's a different beehive, it's been reborn, improved and re-invented! These days there's even the "bump-its" - little plastic constellations you place under your "nest" to pump up the height and volume.

Beehives make an ordinary ponytail come to life with a cheeky twist; notoriously boring librarian buns are suddenly vamped up into sexy messy styles with an edgy touch...

For one of the best blogsites and "how-to-do's", please check out SilverFilmRoses, who shows you step-by-step instructions (with photo's) of how to create the perfectly undone, messy, sexy bun -

I tried her simple to follow instructions and voila! My husband even commented how sexy it looks...!

So, if you're tired of your "normal, boring" ponytail or just need some va-va-voom for that sparkly LBD you purchased, do yourself a favor and let the beehive into your life!

The best beach cover up - whatever your shape!

When I was in London, I discovered the cleverest invention when it comes to a beach cover-up! It's made by a company called Saress (www.saress.com).

Every woman knows the utter agony, tears and frustration in searching for the "perfect" beach cover-up. You walk yourself stupid going from shop to shop - finding a sarong (but in the wrong color), a pair of shorts (but you still see the bulges creeping through when you move or the dreaded "camel-toe") or a beach dress (which seemed perfect when you bought it, only to discover later on that you need to be a contortionist in mastering the art of taking it on and off before getting into the water).

So, this is not just a cover-up - it's an invention of note - a straight piece of fabric, with two loops for putting your arms through, creating a cross-over effect that's pure perfection in enhancing you bust, emphasizing your waist and flowing over your curvy hips! What makes this different, is the anti-static fabric (dries in seconds) and perfect draping that caresses your body, and wait for it - it fits you regardless of body size or shape! One of the most flattering and sexy cover-ups I've ever come across. To ensure a perfect draping effect, there are various sizes too - from 2 to 18. Wow! No knots, ties or fasteners!

It is so perfect, it will take you effortlessly from the beach straight to a dinner or cocktails...!

There's a variety of colors and prints to choose from.

So, what are you waiting for? Buy a couple and you're all set for summer!

Celebrity Gossip for the weak...

Heidi Klum and Seal. What can I say? It's the one union we placed all our bets on. The one we held up in awe. An absolute pity and shame.

Joan Rivers, at 78, is going in for another "tune-up". She stated: "My body is my temple. And this temple is in need of redecorating!" Bless her heart!

Brad Pitt has confessed that he wants to get married to Angelina Jolie. Yeah, right. If he ain't done it by now, the possibility of him ever asking her is slim to none.

The actors of The Hangover are demanding over 10 million pounds plus a share of the profits, to commit to making a third installment of the hit movie. Nice job if you can get it!

Jim Carrey's daughter, Jane, "auditioned" for American Idol and received lavish praises for her efforts. However, it was noted that she didn't stand in line for hours and hours with other hopefuls. She had an "appointment" at a set time and simply pitched up, walked in, auditioned and walked out again. Weird if you remember that Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez starred together in "In Living Color", wouldn't you say?
