Posted on by

Lady Gaga has launched her first ever perfume ‘Fame’. The first ever poster sees her modeling for icon photographer Steven Klein. Frost Loves it, and are those ‘little monsters’? Gaga confessed on Twitter that she was nervous about posting the photo to her followers. She tweeted: “I won’t lie I’m a bit nervous. its been a while since i’ve shared some work with you. But i’m so proud of Steven+I, we really did not sleep!”

It is the first ever black fluid perfume. Apparently it has Lady Gaga’s blood in it. Gaga said she wanted it to smell “like an expensive hooker”…[Blood and semen] is in the perfume but it doesn’t smell like it”

“You just get sort of the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is sort of primal. And the blood was taken from my own blood sample so it’s like a sense of having me on your skin.”

Harrogate mum sets up celebrity football match

Harrogate mum sets up celebrity football match with local club to raise money for vulnerable babies and children

Harrogate mum, Manraj Sanghera, who set up a Bliss Family Group in Harrogate last year, is now raising her game and has joined forces with Harrogate Town AFC to set up a celebrity football match on Sunday, 30 September 2012 at Harrogate Town AFC, in Harrogate.

The Bliss Select XI and Harrogate XI teams will be made up of ex-premiership footballers, Emmerdale cast members, Leeds United Legends and five local Dad’s of premature babies in aid of Bliss, for babies born too soon, too small or too sick, and Shine, which provides practical support to help individuals and families affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Every year around 80,000 babies are born premature or sick and in need of specialist hospital care, money raised will enable Bliss to continue its vital work to help premature and sick babies and their families across the UK.

Gareth Southgate (retired England player and ex-manager of Middlesbrough FC) will be the Bliss team Captain and Danny Mills (former-England and Leeds United player) also playing for Bliss, are just some of the household names set to play in the charity match in the autumn.

Danny says: “I am really proud to be taking part in the charity match for Bliss and Shine this autumn. Ever since I lost my son Archie to Spina Bifida ten years ago, I have worked closely with, and fundraised for Shine, who launched the first memorial challenge in my son’s name. Having experienced tragedy and the worry of two premature babies but getting through it by the amazing support we received from staff on the unit, I cannot think of two better causes. Any bit of fundraising and raising awareness I can do for these charities that provide care for sick babies and children, makes me feel I am doing my bit for Archie. Anyone can give something back, no matter how small, it really does help.”

Manraj was inspired to raise awareness of Bliss, after her three children were born premature and sick. Her first child Raj-Arjun was born at 37 weeks. He is now severely disabled after suffering a massive brain haemorrhage at birth. Her second child Simran was born at 29 weeks, weighing a mere 1Ib 11oz and her third child Priya was born at 34 weeks.

Manraj says: “I am really pleased to be organising this match in aid of Bliss and Shine. Since the birth of our son Raj-Arjun nine years ago, and two premature daughters Simran and Priya, we have spent many weeks in and out of neonatal intensive care and special care units in Harrogate and Leeds. If it were not for the dedication and support of the staff our children would not be alive.

‘Charities such as Bliss and Shine allow for a wider support mechanism for parents in such traumatic circumstances. We have received this vital support and feel it is time to give something back. It is for this reason we dedicate this match to everyone who has worked tirelessly to support us. It is also a great way to get dads involved who can sometimes be forgotten, when lots of the support is offered to mums and babies.

Other footballers set to play include: Colin Cooper, Nigel Quashie, Nigel Martyn, David Prutton, Colin Hunter and local Radio Presenters from Stray FM.

Tad Nowakowski from Harrogate Town AFC says: “Harrogate Town AFC are delighted to be involved in supporting Bliss and allowing our facilities to be used to host this charity soccer match. We are looking forward to seeing local dads playing on our new pitch which is being levelled and re-seeded later this year.”

Chief Executive Andy Cole from Bliss says: “The celebrity football match is set to be a really successful fundraising event. We are extremely grateful to Manraj for organising the event and the money raised will help Bliss’ work to support babies and their families during an incredibly difficult and stressful time.”

Tickets are now on sale, £12.50 for adults, and £7.50 children (Under 12) Under 3 free. For further ticket sellers’ information, log onto www.harrogatetownafc.co.uk or www.bliss.org.uk or e-mail: first4charityevents@gmail.co.uk all proceeds will go to Bliss, Shine, Harrogate SCBU and LGI Peter Congdon Unit (NICI).

Bigoodi, Pampering For Children in West London.

Posted on by

Bigoodi, the UK’s number one children’s destination launched recently. It’s a family run store in fashionable King’s Road.

Bigoodi is a vibrant new concept store for London where children enjoy pampering and styling by the professional enthusiastic staff whilst parents enjoy a unique retail experience. This destination has been designed with care and takes its influence largely from the trendy and exclusive boutiques of le Marais in Paris. The welcoming period frontage and fun chairs invite children (and their parents) into a world of enjoyment. In addition the colourful playroom hosts parties for special occasions, (catering for 2 to 15 year olds).

This independent, family owned boutique is located at 52 New Kings Road, in the heart of
Parsons Green, London. It is clear, that everything has been designed with children in mind;
chairs resemble grand American cars, sleek airplanes or princess thrones and flat screen TV’s
showing reel classic cartoons.

Bigoodi (a play on the French word for ‘hair roller’) has been created by Clemence de Crecy, a
local mother of two young boys; “As a mother of two young children I know how hard it is to find
the right hairdresser. All too often it can end in tears as regular salons are not designed or
equipped to look after the specific needs of children. Dedicated children’s hairdressing has been
hugely successful in the USA and Italy for a long time now, but here in the UK we have been slow
to catch on. It will be the kind of place where children feel secure, welcome, and cared for, and
hopefully somewhere they look forward to return to. Contented children make for contented
parents and there will also be a few fun extras just for adults to ensure they enjoy their visit too.”
The children’s sector appears to be booming with major brands still opening in London.
Bigoodi will also offer various types of children’s party, including ‘Ballerina’ parties for girls with
hairdressing, manicures and pedicures, light make up and ‘Kapla’ parties for boys centered
around the popular French building game. Full sets of invitations will be printed out and
distributed in advance for the birthday boy or girl to offer them to their best friends in the
playground. Birthday boy or girl is always coming for free!

Parents will also be well looked after, and will be able to enjoy a spot of peace and quiet while
the professional stylists look after their little ones. Children’s fashion and lifestyle brands will be
invited to display their ranges in the shop, providing some carefully chosen top quality shopping
opportunities. The collection will change every 3 months, so there will something new to explore
on each visit.

Angelina Jolie’s Beauty Secret

Posted on by

Angelina Jolie has revealed what she uses to perfect her dewy complexion: Avène Water Sprays.

Her make-up artist Bruce Grayson revealed:

“To create Angelina’s Hollywood look the most important first step is to prep and prime the skin. Follow by applying a light, moisturising foundation as the base. Then, to achieve a radiant sheen use a make-up sponge sprayed with Avène Thermal Spring Water to blend concealer into the skin where needed. To complete the fresh-faced look apply a cream blusher to the apples of the cheeks.”

20 Million Avène Water Sprays are sold each year… So what is all the fuss about..?

Eau Thermale Avène Spring Water Spray is a multi-tasking wonder used throughout the world for calming and cooling skin.

Did you know you can use it to:

· Tone as part of your three step regime

· Soothe eczema

· Set make-up

· Reduce shaving rash

· Refresh on a hot day

· Alleviate sunburn or prickly heat

· After surgery

· For babies

Don’t just take our word, or the other 20 millions, a host of studies have shown the water to soothe and soften skin[1]. Recommended by dermatologists, it is also creating a buzz amongst beauty savvy celebs with both Sophie Dahl and Gwyneth Paltrow loving the spray:

“A soothing water spray for irritated skin. It’s also good as a quick refresher on a hot day. I know lots of makeup artists who use it, as it helps set makeup” says Gwyneth Paltrow

“This keeps my skin from getting dry!” says Sophie Dahl

Other celeb fans of the Thermal Water Spray include Erin O’Connor, Natalia Vodianova, Gabriella Calthorpe, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Diane Kruger and Vanessa Hudgens.

The soothing anti-irritating water comes from a spring in the south of France, which has taken a 40 year journey through the Cévennes Mountains, resulting in a naturally bacteriologically pure water with a low mineral content. It leaves a film of silica on the skin protecting the surface and leaving it feeling soft and comfortable. Thanks to the low mineral content in the water, as well as its pH 7.5 (almost neutral) balance, does not sting, burn or dry out skin and can be used on broken skin[2]
