Fab Flash: Elle Magazine Editors to Guest Star on Ugly Betty

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Just as former Elle fashion director Nina Garcia prepares for a guest appearance this Thursday on Ugly Betty, the announcement comes that more Elle editors are joining in on the ugly fun.

Elle Editor in Chief Robbie Myers and creative director Joe Zee will appear on the season finale of the show, which features a charity softball game between Elle and the fictitious Mode magazine. Myers and Zee will both be up to bat on the episode, wearing the uniform at left, and Naomi Campbell is set to play Elle's designated hitter. Sounds like the season is going to wrap with a home run!

Fab Flash: Nina Garcia to Guest Star on Ugly Betty

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 11:00:22 -0700

When Ugly Betty returns with new episodes on April 24, it may seem like Project Runway is taking the spotlight.

PR judge Nina Garcia and, as earlier reported, PR season four winner Christian Siriano are both making cameos on the campy fashion show. No word yet on what roles they play, but I'm sure curious. They follow behind Project Runway ringleader Tim Gunn, who appeared on the show as a fashion reporter last February. Fun!

FabSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

I would like to wish you a Fabby Halloween...and my Sugar sisters would like to wish you a Happy Halloween! Quite a few of us dressed up for the office today so I thought it would be fun to share our costumes. You can visit Giggle to guess who each monster drawing is and take a look at the gallery below and guess who's who in the flesh. Also be sure to read all about PartySugar's Halloween bash. I hope you enjoyed all the Halloween coverage on Fab, until next year!

Fab Flash: Vera Wang to Guest Star on "Ugly Betty"

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:00:22 -0700

In the upcoming season of "Ugly Betty," don't be surprised if you see Vera Wang's face pop up! The designer best known for her wedding gowns was spotted in Los Angeles last week, taping a segment of the show about what else but the upcoming wedding of one of the "Betty" characters. Vera wears her trademark leggings and reportedly plays a nastier version of herself. Sounds like good entertainment!

Fab Flash: Ugly Betty - The Reality Version?

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:30:33 -0700

Ugly Betty has been such a success, VH1 is developing a reality show called America The Ugly which is said to be loosely based on Betty. The premise of the show investigates what happens to unattractive women who are working in the fashion and modeling industries. Becky Southwick, the fork-tongued former Wilhelmina Models executive who gained fame for calling girls fat on VH1's The Agency, is also involved.

I've been tired of the reality-show phenomenon for some time now, and this show sounds a little low-brow to me - what do you all think?

Ugly Betty Is Not So Ugly!

In fact, she's quite fetching! With all the backlash against super skinny models and the new model regulations in Spain and Milan, I think a revolution is under way. An appreciation for a woman's natural curves is surfacing within fashion. What ever happened to the days of curvy screen sirens like Sophia Loren and Bridgette Bardot? I know times change, but these ladies were wonderfully womanly.

Life & Style did a recent story and glammed up curvy Ugly Betty star America Ferrera. We all can achieve her classic, Marilyn Monroe look with a shoulder-baring sweater, cinched belt and full skirt. I love this default look so much I put my own outfit together for Betty, er, America. Bombshells away!

Halloween Fashion Emergency!

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:59:13 -0700

It's time for all of us to step in and help on this one. A friend was recently diagnosed with an eye infection and has to wear her glasses for two weeks - starting today. That means she has to wear them on Halloween. She was originally going to be Frida Kahlo (brilliant), but is crushed and does not think it will work with her thick-rimmed specs. She does not have prescription sunglasses, so that's out.

Let's back up and peruse this compilation of cool chicks who wear glasses on a day-to-day. Fast forward, what brilliant costume ideas containing glasses can we think of? She's not really feeling Harry Potter, Ugly Betty, or a Revenge of the Nerd. I suggested a UFO (see picture), but that's me. Speak up, speak specs!
