			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The good news is that cheaters get caught. <strong><em>The bad news is they only get caught after they cheat.</em></strong> Now there&#8217;s a test to catch his cheating ways BEFORE they start!</p>
<p>Finally! An app to help you tell if a guy will cheat BEFORE he actually does.  <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-cheater-meter/id482486203?ls=1&amp;mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Cheater Meter</strong></span> </a>is an extremely simple but extremely accurate 10 question quiz that tells you if your guy or any guy, will or will not cheat.</p>
<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-cheater-meter/id482486203?ls=1&amp;mt=8"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7775" title="cheat" src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cheat.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="185" /></a>Ish Major, MD explains, &#8216;Most women report their biggest fear in a relationship is being cheated on. As a Dr. I run tests for tons of medical problems every day. Now I&#8217;m giving women the power to run their own test for relationship problems just as quickly! You can meet a cheater at anytime and anyplace. You should have the ability to put him to the test at all times as well!&#8221;</p>
<p>By combing through years of research about relationships, marriage, divorce and cheaters Ish Major, MD has uncovered the secret formula for the ingredients of a Cheater! He&#8217;s taken it one step further and made it available in a quick and easy mobile iPhone app!</p>
<p>Major, a psychiatrist who specializes in women, children and families, says the majority of his patients come to him because of relationship problems in their past or present. With his new app, The Cheater Meter, Major wants to empower women to level the playing field when it comes to finding Mr. Right before they find out he&#8217;s really Mr. Wrong!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cheat2.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-7776 aligncenter" title="cheat2" src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cheat2.jpg" alt="" width="482" height="379" /></a></p>
<p>In a witty, charming and brutally truthful interview, Major can reveal:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Why men cheat</li>
<li>What are the signs someone is cheating</li>
<li>The Top 10 Cheater Traits</li>
<li>How to prevent it from happening</li>
<li>Damage control in the aftermath</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><strong>Ish Major, MD </strong>is the author of Little White Whys, A Woman&#8217;s Guide Through the Lies Men Tell and Why and has been named as One of America&#8217;s Top Psychiatrists for 2011. He is a frequent guest on national radio and television with appearances on FOX, GMA and The Today Show.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Cheater Meter is available in the app store on iTunes and on <a href="http://www.thecheatermeter.com " target="_blank">Thecheatermeter.com</a>.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Would you be willing to test out guys with this mobile app?  </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Have you ever used technology to bust a guys&#8217; cheating ways?</em></strong></p>

<p>As effervescent as ever, Betsey Johnson revealed a bright, multi-colored approach to Fall as only she can.  It&#8217;s always a challenge to give a brief synopsis of a Betsey Johnson collection, her eclectic style paired with mix and match colors, styles and patterns always makes it interesting when trying to nail down her collection in two to three descriptive words.  Instead of offering a description of her Fall 2012 ready to wear collection, I&#8217;ll just let the photos do the talking&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was something about this season at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week that was calming and much less chaotic than seasons past.  Could it be the fact that I stuck to my strict show schedule, or that I spent my time wisely hopping from presentations to shows? <em>Honestly, No.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_7669" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 530px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1627274035570AF9DD56ECE6C316.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7669" title="162727403,5570AF9DD56ECE6C316" src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1627274035570AF9DD56ECE6C316.jpeg" alt="" width="520" height="346" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">First Look: Beyond the velvet rope inside the Mercedes Benz Star Lounge</p></div>
<p>As an invited guest of Mercedes Benz I was asked to participate and enjoy the fashionable &amp; luxurious Mercedes Benz Star Lounge.  The known respite for VIP and influencers in between shows, the suite has been the haven for silver screen celebs to Super Bowl winning NY Giants.  When it comes down to VIP treatment (although I lack celebrity status), I was not exempt. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating &#8211; which is a welcomed change from the chaos that is Lincoln Center.  From personal assistance from MBFW staff escorting me inside of the most anticipated shows to the delightful aroma of snacks, meals &amp; beverages (including champagne) that greeted me upon entrance beyond the velvet rope, the overall experience was nothing short of <strong>AMAZING!</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_7668" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 356px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1627275389029C5D1B994AC1C6BE.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7668" title="162727538,9029C5D1B994AC1C6BE" src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1627275389029C5D1B994AC1C6BE.jpeg" alt="" width="346" height="520" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My personal fashion week mantra...</p></div>
<p>Designed by interior designer, <em>Wesley Cadie</em> &#8211; the visually stunning wall coverings and textiles by <em>Porter Teleo</em> and artwork by <em>Stephanie Hirsch</em> truly made this chic oasis my &#8216;home away from home&#8217; (home being the MBFW Media Center). The approach that Mercedes Benz offered something that is hard to come by when visiting Lincoln Center: stylish serenity within a welcoming and warm environment.  The ambiance of the star lounge encouraged a calm, peaceful energy that carried me throughout my entire New York Fashion Week experience and beyond.</p>
<p><em><strong>Thank you Mercedes Benz!</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On <strong>Thursday, February 16th</strong> (the last day of New York Fashion Week) many fashion bloggers, journalists and members of the fashion media attended the <strong>Relax, Renew &amp; Recharge NYFW Media Tweet Up</strong> in NYC.  Hosted by myself and Ty of <a href="http://www.gorgeousingrey.com" target="_blank">GorgeousinGrey.com</a> &#8211; the evening was filled with networking, reminiscing of fashion week fun, makeovers and more!  I got the chance to share my love of the new <a href="http://divasanddorks.com/review-the-att-samsung-galaxy-note-the-all-in-one-fab-tablet/?preview=true&amp;preview_id=7687&amp;preview_nonce=ce6626ac29" target="_blank"><em>AT&amp;T Samsung Galaxy Note</em> </a>- it made tweeting throughout the night while snapping photos virtually a breeze.  Many of our guests enjoyed delicious snacks courtesy of Tonnie&#8217;s Minis while tweeting their way towards winning prizes such as $25, $50 &amp; $100 Sephora giftcards as well as AT&amp;T smartphones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015608.jpg"><img src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015608.jpg" alt="20120220-015608.jpg" width="360" height="481" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&amp;T - Available Today!</p></div>
<p>When I first held the Samsung Galaxy Note in January at CES, the truth is&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t very impressed. My biggest reservation? The size &amp; comfort factor of the device in my hands. But while using it during NYFW, I have a different perspective and appreciation for this hybrid of a device. Positioned as the &#8220;best of both worlds&#8221; device, the Samsung Galaxy Note is supposed to fill the gap between large tablets and smartphones. With a 5.3-inch touchscreen, the Note&#8217;s size does in fact fit between many tablets and smartphones. But make no mistake, the Note is a phone.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015440.jpg"><img src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015440.jpg" alt="20120220-015440.jpg" width="360" height="481" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Don&#39;t call it a stylus...The Galaxy Note S Pen does much more than what you think...</p></div>
<p>While using the device during New York Fashion Week &#8211; I had the opportunity to test out it&#8217;s functionality in a real-world, fast-paced environment. Some of the aspects that I enjoyed using on the device includes, taking photographs, video and the note-taking function using the S-Memo and S pen. With the S-Pen, I was able to quickly jot down notes, edit photos by adding notes as well as cool screen &#8220;capturing&#8221; functions too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-141146.jpg"><img class=" " src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-141146.jpg" alt="20120220-141146.jpg" width="480" height="382" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Samsung Family: Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Galaxy Note - Galaxy SII</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a well-placed Samsung family member, the Galaxy Note fits nicely when compared with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung SII. The S II is offered with smaller, but still huge, touchscreens of either 4.3 inches or 4.5 inches. Like the S II, the Note&#8217;s display uses Samsung&#8217;s Super AMOLED technology, and it looks absolutely amazing. As I shared with a fellow blogger, the Note&#8217;s 5.3-inch screen is the display that works out beautifully for watching HD-quality movies. (I&#8217;d rather view movies on the Galaxy Note than on my iPhone 4S).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015431.jpg"><img src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015431.jpg" alt="20120220-015431.jpg" width="360" height="481" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Galaxy Note: Camera and Flash Ready!</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Note, like the S II and the Nexus, has an 8-megapixel/1080p camera with a single LED flash in back and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chatting or photos. Like the S II, the Note features 16-gigabytes of built-in storage and a microSD card slot that can accommodate a card of up to 32-gigabytes of added storage. The Galaxy Note currently runs on Gingerbread and not the newer Android Ice Cream Sandwich, but don&#8217;t worry Samsung will release the new OS update will be available by the end of March.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015420.jpg"><img src="http://divasanddorks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120220-015420.jpg" alt="20120220-015420.jpg" width="360" height="481" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Using the Galaxy Note with one hand? You may want to rethink that idea..</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With all the cool features that this device offers, the fact still remains that in addition to being a tablet device, it is also a phone. Making a phone call using the Galaxy Note was not as awkward as I initially thought. TRUE, it is NOT the Samsung SII (a phone that you can easily maneuver with one hand) &#8211; but the speed and clarity of the calls on AT&amp;T&#8217;s 4G LTE network makes up for it (especially if you&#8217;re used to those &#8216;slower&#8217; networks).</p>
<p>Overall, I enjoyed using the device. The ease &amp; visibility of checking email, online surfing, and using social networks makes it a great device. If you&#8217;re not a fan of maneuvering with a larger smartphone for your mobile calls &#8211; I&#8217;d suggest investing in a stylish bluetooth device to make your Galaxy Note complete.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upon the first strut of the model down the runway, you begin to experience a collection that keeps you guessing.  Is it the suede, patchwork leather or bell-bottoms that gives off the aura of the groovy 60&#8242;s? Or could it be an ode to the recessionista&#8217;s way of shopping &#8211; the ever clever thrifter? Either way, the Nicole Miller Fall 2012 collection brought a variety of styles, colors, textures and more into the forefront in this eclectic collection.  Check out the rest of the Nicole Miller collection and give us your take &#8211; <strong>Is the collection a rip-off of the 60&#8242;s or a brave homage to the recent 90&#8242;s?</strong></p>
