Happy Birthday!

Happy 30th Birthday to Rachel Bilson and Happy 24th Birthday to Blake Lively!

Don’t they kind of seem like they’re around the same age to you? Rachel Bilson will return to television this fall with her new CW show “Hart of Dixie” while Blake Lively is still dating Leonardo DiCaprio.

I really wish she would just reprise her role as Summer Roberts though. Seth Cohen take her back.

“The Rules” of Dating

“Blake Lively Played By “The Rules” To Catch Leonardo Di Caprio” was the headline that snagged my attention today. Juxtaposed next to a picture of Blake Lively’s face was “The Rules” in book form – a book that I actually had not even heard of until today. I figured I had to learn more because I was curious about these rules. Are they rules that I subconsciously follow? Are some of the rules ones that I honestly follow today? The post lead me to the Wikipedia page which I assumed was just a shortened version of the book.

The rules I found to be the most interesting were:

4. Don’t meet him halfway or go dutch on a date

7. Don’t accept a Saturday night date after Wednesday

20. Be honest, but mysterious

23. Don’t date a married man – – Can we extend this to don’t date a man already dating someone else slash don’t be a hussy.

26. Even if you’re engaged or married, you still need the rules

As I read down the rules, I found myself nodding in agreement for some of them, but the farther I went down the more skeptical I became. Are these rules really “the game” in disguise? I’m all for playing a little hard to get, but if you have to continue this act throughout your engagement and marriage, won’t you just exhaust yourself? Also, when dating, I’ve heard that guys actually like it when girls at least attempt to pay for at least their portion. Personally, I think it’s polite and it’s a nice gesture even if in the end you know the guy will end up paying.

So I’m curious…

Women – Are you following these rules? Do you have your own set of rules?

Men – What are your reactions to this type of behavior?

Met Gala 2011

François-Henri Pinault with Salma Hayek both in Alexander McQueen

There was an unbelievable amount of love for Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney at this year’s 2011 Met Ball. I think out of all the Met Ball’s I have seen, this one has provided the most looks that I have fallen in love with. Well done everyone.

This year’s theme was in tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen as the museum debuted a new exhibition in his name. Since there were so many attendees this year, I decided to post only my favorite looks (and a few others)  – don’t worry, it’s still pretty image heavy!

Where was Camilla Belle this year?

Leighton Meester for Missoni

Leighton Meester’s first photo from Missoni’s spring campaign have just been released and they are too cute. This doesn’t mean that she has won the battle for campaigns just yet though. That decision won’t be made until we get a peak at her Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively’s Chanel campaign.

The campaign was inspired by the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

This fantastic shoot was done by one of my favorite photographers Juergen Teller. He is also responsible for all of the quirky Marc Jacobs ad campaigns as well.
