ANOTHER REASON WHY BRONZING IS BETTER: TOPLESS BATHING GOING OUT OF STYLE....

france - at least that's what those in the know are whispering in vacation hotspots in france. apparently in hot spots like cote d'Azur and pampelonne's beach in st. tropez, more and more women are choosing to cover up. it could be for decency's sake....but it could also be because implants are not safe in the sun. but what do i know....?

FINALLY A HOMME FOR BOYS

paris - boys, plainly put: i feel sorry for you. your skin and body has the same needs that a woman's does (alas even more at times) yet still it's painfully hard (please excuse the phrase) to find products and services geared towards men. fret no more - if you are in paris. the ever cultured and forward thinking city is now home to Comptoir de l'Homme, a mens-only grooming boutique. the space stocks scores of exclusive and popular brands including clinique for men and skintech. interestingly enough it began life as a website and opened as a physical store last month. something tells me it will be around for years to come. check out their site at: comptoirdelhomme.com

BOYS, DO YOU KNOW ABOUT NAIR FOR MEN!?

worldwide - please ignore me if this product has been on the market for eons, but i am just discovering it. i absolutely love cream hair removers (veet is my favorite) and the other day while stocking up on them i came across nair for men. whowouldathunkit!? ofcourse it does the same thing that "womens" nair does: remove hair as easily and effortlessly with one application of the creme on your body (or body part.) what's different though is that nair offers the creme is several different bottles. you can get it as a roll on, spray or "speed creme," in addition to the standard tube offering. i find it fabulous. when are they going to get a clue though and do the same for women?

bald is beautiful! more men getting "brazillian" waxes

worldwide - yep! you read that title right. men, as in guys, are now getting their privates groomed - or rather - drizzled with hot wax and ripped apart in an attempt to be as smooth and touchable as the ladies they court. according to collegecandy.com it is so popular that even hip hop artists/ moguls like sean combs, above, and jay-z, left, are habitual waxers.
