You guys - I am so lucky today. I have had the opportunity to "live tweet" the behind the scenes rehearsals, and the pageant itself, for the Mrs. Oklahoma pageant.
If you are on twitter (*and why wouldn't you be?), then follow @TheMrsOKPageant. Or if you *aren't* on twitter (*Why not?), or you just don't want to add to your follower count, you can follow along by searching the hashtag #MrsOK2010.
I do hope you will check in with what is going on here at the pageant, as these lovely ladies have been working very hard and would love the support of their platforms, too.Live tweeting at the pageant

Today is opening day for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - New York and I'm not there. Boo! With all of the crap snow going on out there (*as if we haven't had enough here in Oklahoma), I'm going to pretend that I am *super* happy not to be out there in all of that mess - which is a boldface lie. Unfortch, due to some issues here, I didn't get to go this season - even tho I actually got credentials in my own name this time. However, I have been able to pay it forward, just like I had done for me last season, and give some of my access to Meredith, from Retrodiva's Beauty Bar, who will do a fab job reporting from behind the scenes.
This also means you will not to get read my direct tweets about what I am doing in NYC. BUT! I *will* be retweeting a lot of the action from some of the other lovelies that are there at the tents. In addition to those, MAC Cosmetics has provided a twiter widget, which you can see in the right sidebar, that showcases tweets from their artists directly backstage at the tents. Also, if you have a particular MAC makeup artist you want to follow exclusively, check out MAC Artists Tweets and follow them individually. And if *THAT* isn't enough fashion week info for you, you can search twitter #NYFW hashtag and see what EVERYONE that uses that tag is saying. (*WARNING* - could definitely lead to information overload - esp when several are at the same show at the same time.)
Oh, speaking of twitter/information overload - American Express, one of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week sponsors has provided an electronic board, inside the tent, that displays live tweets that use the hashtag #amexmbfw. I think it is really cool for such a big company to embrace people tweeting - a great way to instantly show the people in the tents immediate reaction to things. Love it!
So, there you have it lovelies - even tho I am not there, I will def be here, using a bunch of different means, to still bring you my perspective on what goes on at NYFW. I hope you enjoy it. :)
*UPDATE*: While I was writing this today, news broke that fashion designer, Alexander McQueen, had committed suicide. (*You might remember that I discussed his Armadillo Shoes back in November). It came as quite a shock & put a black cloud over the start of Fashion Week. RIP.

Well, if you follow me on twitter, then you know all about the drama I had trying to get to NYC yesterday. I am just going to pretend that it wasn't scary and was just a trial run to get ready for today. I'm going to NYC for the Total Beauty Summit and to cover shows at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
This opportunity is so amazing to me, and has shown me just how generous people really can be. I continue to be amazed at the kindness I am shown on a daily basis. Bah, enough of the mushy stuff - I'll be all mushy and thankful when I get home and am not cursing them all for me being so exhausted. ;)
So, just like when I went to The Makeup Show earlier this year, I'm going to be blowing up my twitter feed with everything I am doing. So, now is either going to be a really great time to follow me or a really good time to take a break. I'll leave it up to you. ;)
Lancôme's in the house...

Fun news. Lancôme has branched out on the web and started The Lancôme Blog. The blog will be written by Kerry Diamond, our vice president for public relations and a former beauty editor herself, and the other P.R. team members will be pitching in from time to time (and you lovelies know what a fan of Kerry's I am). The blog will cover all the buzz about the brand, from their hottest products, to news about their spokespeople and makeup artists, to what the beauty editors and bloggers are saying about them. 
And there will be Giveaways - with a capital G. To start things off, they are giving away 10 bottles of their new skincare product, Génifique. All you have to do is comment on this post letting them what you think of the blog or any ideas for future posts/what you would like to see. That's it. Easy peasy.
Oh, and if you are on twitter, (and really, why aren't you by now?), they are on there as lancomeparis if you would like to follow them on there, too.
Twitter me this....

Hello, Lovelies! I just wanted to let you guys know that if you just can't bear not knowing what is going on with me at almost all times, (And, really, who can blame you? It's totally understandable.), you can come see me on Twitter. I am oldergirlbeauty over there. Surprising, I know.I babble on there daily & have met some of the nicest, friendliest, smartest and, of course, the loveliest beauty lovelies on there. It has opened my eyes to so many new people and sites to read and get more information on what's going on out there. In addition to that appeal, you will find so many beauty companies that give twitter only specials, personal recommendations, advice and breaking company news, too. (ie. Bliss Spa, Benefit Cosmetics, Zoya Nail Polish, drugstore.com and so many others).
