Catwalk makeup with MAC
As RAFW (Australian fashion week) again draws near and fashionisers click their heels in anticipation of one of the most celebrated (and busiest!) events on the Australian fashion calendar, those uber-talented creative types are busily working behind the scenes to finalise the looks which we will covet in the months to come. We were fortunate enough to chat with one of these creative minds who also happens to be one of Australia's most talented makeup artists - Nicole Thompson, senior artist for MAC Australia, official makeup brand for RAFW.
One look at Nicole's resume and you know the vision of RAFW is in more than competent hands. As a part of the International MAC Pro Team, Nicole spends part of the year travelling beyond our borders to rather glam assignments- international fashion weeks, opulent events and luxe photoshoots. Career envy starts now. Beyond the drapery, imagery and silks on display, Nicole and her 50 strong team will execute the artistry at RAFW to complement the vision of the designers.
Unsurprisingly, inspiration for the Australian catwalks begin with our European counterparts and spring 2011 trends such as the sumptuous metallics are expected to translate here, with a home grown twist. Read Nicole's exclusive preview of RAFW makeup and begin your inspiration now...

FTC Refunds Hispanic Consumers Overcharged for Mortgage Loans
Filed under: Borrowing, Consumer Ally, Mortgages
More than 3,000 Hispanic consumers who were fleeced by a California mortgage company because of their ethnicity have been mailed refund checks by the Federal Trade Commission.On April 22, 2011, the FTC mailed 3,162 refund checks to mortgage loan borrowers taken advantage of by Golden Empire Mortgage Inc. of Bakersfield, Calif., and its president and CEO, Howard D. Kootstra.
The FTC sued Golden Empire and Koostra in May 2009 for violating the Equal Credit Opportunity Act by pricing mortgage loans based on ethnicity rather than on applicants' credit characteristics or underwriting risk.

Do Not Want: Emoticon Rings
Emoticons are terrible. They are an uber-annoying way of expressing fauxmotions. And pretty much any dude who sends me texts with emoted smiley faces or frowns is going to get the axe. And now, a company called Design You Trust has found a way to bring the emoticon to life in emoticon rings. Color us : (. [Buzzfeed]

?Much Like in the Fashion World, There?s a Great Deal of Jealousy and Rivalry in Dairy Farming?
George Malkemus, the CEO of Manolo Blahnik, gave that quote to The Wall Street Journal, which just published an exposé of one of the great secrets of the fashion world: Malkemus and the other top-ranking executive at Manolo Blahnik, vice-president Tony Yurgaitis, run a dairy farm. Called Arethusa, it produces milk that's allegedly finer and certainly costlier than most. Its 23 retail accounts include Whole Foods, where you can buy a half-gallon for $4.49 — or more than twice the national retail average.
What you're paying for, as with a Manolo Blahnik shoe, is quality. This isn't fast milk produced without thought or imagination by ripping off another dairy farmer's design — this milk comes from well-bred, very well-cared-for cows that are treated like ladies.
In fact, they began racking up awards in 2004, when Melanie and Veronica won prizes in the 2004 World Dairy Expo. (Though Vogue contributor André Leon Talley said, "I didn't quite understand it," the PR director at the time, still nostalgic for the rural Wisconsin where he grew up, wrote them a congratulatory note.) But of course Melanie and Veronica won. They were looking and feeling their best that day, as always:
Arethusa cultivates an aura of haute-living heifers. A sign above their abode reads: "Every cow in this barn is a lady, please treat her as such."
They munch on the finest, protein-enriched hay and rest upon soft wood shavings from Canada. Workers vacuum their bodies on a daily basis in a spa-like room. ("There's not a single fly" on any cow, boasts Mr. Malkemus.)
To plump up their coats and tails, cows are treated with some of the same beauty products used by ladies who lunch. Brands like Artec shampoo are slathered on dark-haired cows, while Pantene is preferred for the blonder bovines.
One dairy farmer sneers that, while his barns may not be like the Ritz, Arethusa's milk isn't even organic since the cows get antibiotics when they're sick. So he passes Arethusa's milk off as "conventional." Fine. We all know there's nothing conventional about a cow that pays more attention to its choice of shampoo in relation to its hair color than the average human.
