Space Fashion Beams Down to Brazil
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsIt may be 2011, but at Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Brazil this past weekend, it looked more like the year 2111 with a flock of futuristic fashions hitting the runway. One of the spaciest high-fashion ensembles on the catwalk came from Brazilian fashion house Amapo, owned by eclectic young designers Carolina Gold and Pitty Taliani.

Report: Marrow Registry Spent Thousands on Sexy Recruiters
By Mara Gay - AOL News(Dec. 17) -- A bone marrow campaign went all out to make potential donors an offer they couldn't resist by spending $60,000 a week to hire models in short skirts and heels to ask people to sign up for the lifesaving registry, investigators say. But what the Massachusetts registry didn't tell unsuspecting do-gooders is that its costly operation was billing insurance companies up to $4,300 for each DNA swab. Most labs charge about $100.

Christina Hendricks: Full-Figured Never Looked Better
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyClothes look good on thin bodies. But thin bodies naked? Not so much. Naked full bodies is another matter. Or near-naked, a la actress Christina Hendricks in a corset on the cover of New York Magazine. Hendricks, a breakout star of AMC's hit show "Mad Men," is undeniably beautiful. She's also a different body type than we're used to seeing in the glamor factories of Los Angeles and New York. But then "Mad Men" is a period drama, set half a century ago. It may be relevant that most fashion designers are gay men. Thin women look more male than their voluptuous counterparts in the general ...
Photoshop 'Til You Drop

And these digital remakes seem positively unnecessary, coming as they do at a time of ...
