Lyrical dance is one of those art forms that's just so pretty. You'll always have more postmodern dance forms that operate on the premise that anything can be art, thereby producing funky hand and leg movements, but watching lyrical dance is like hearing the sweetest love song.
Mmm mmm. There are loads of things we love about fall - the cooler weather, the leaves changing color, the return of the pumpkin spice latte at Starbuck's - but one of our favorite things is the seasonal comfort food. Soups are a must-have when the temperatures drop, and what better soups to chow down on than pumpkin soup and broccoli soup on a cool fall night?

Pin up girl makeup and hairstyles sure are sexy, but just ask modern day pin ups like Gwen Stefani or Dita Von Teese and you'll find that looking that great requires more than a little patience and hard work.

Like her fellow family members, she possesses marble white skin and glistening, hypnotic gold eyes, but her petite fairy-like nose and fun experimentation with her hairstyle and clothes makes her one of a kind.
French braids have always been the much cooler and more elegant older sister of the basic braid (you know, the ones you wore in pigtails with Sesame Street ties when you were a kid). Which is why we love the way they add a whimsical touch to any hairstyle that incorporates them.
