Like us on Facebook
Behold the 11th Annual Victoria's Secret fashion show that aired last night! Lots of our favorite celebs were there, including JT. The fashions included the usual feathers and crystals, as well as diamonds. There was also a somewhat Scottish theme to some of the looks which included plaids, tweeds and hounds tooth, although certainly not worn in the traditional sense! To see a "How To:" for achieving the makeup looks from last night click here.
Lots more pics from this great event, so read more

The Burton Men's Camp Hooded Sweatshirt looks like a regular casual hoody, but it's much more than that. The Camp is made with DRYRIDE Ultrawick fabric, which won't absorb water from outside and actually pulls sweat away from your body to keep you dry all day. The Burton stretch fabric won't bind, giving you an unlimited range of motion and adding durability, and the anti-microbial finish reduces odor, so you can ride all day without stinking.

no good
way too thin, this should not be called a sweatshirt...I ended up returning it, at best its a very thin base layer with a hood
whats it made of? like it says sweatshirt...
whats it made of? like it says sweatshirt but looks like windbreaker. is it a clothy outer layer?
Luke Thelen
awesome sweater!
It is great when your snowboarding on warm days and you don't want that big heavy jacket on. It never gets wet and some times i even got to warm in it. and its not to thick so its also good to wear under your jacket when you get those really cold days also.
The camp hoodie is love
Burton did this well. I've been spring riding in these for two seasons now... with nothing waterproof over it. Super durable to be so lightweight and thin! I also rock it as an under layer on cold days and casually when off the mountain... it's a def win.

Buying in person will pay off
Stella Service, an online customer service ratings startup, decided this year to study just how much money shoppers save by purchasing school supplies on sites such as Walmart.com and Staples.com instead of going to the stores themselves. Their counterintuitive finding: none.
In fact, the firm's mystery shoppers spent significantly more to buy the same or comparable items online as they did offline.
The average in-store bill for 13 items, including No. 2 pencils, a three-ring binder, a calculator and a glue stick came to $31. Online, it was $53, including an average of $10 for shipping. That means the items would have been pricier on the Web even if shipping were free.
Not only that, but some of the physical stores had a better selection than their digital counterparts. Target.com, for instance, didn't offer many of the items on the list at all. Costco.com had items in stock, but with minimum order requirements -- such as three boxes of ballpoint pens -- that drove up prices.
Finally, clunky and confusing online checkout processes meant that customers spent almost as much time completing their purchases online as they did in store checkout lines. (And, of course, those online orders generally take several days to arrive.)
What's going on here? To find out, I talked with Stella Service's CEO, Jordy Leiser. Two things became clear.
First, the study's findings are genuine, as far as they go. Many office-supply stores really do seem to offer better back-to-school deals offline than they do on their websites.
The reasons aren't entirely clear. Maybe they see in-store discounts as loss leaders, or perhaps they just haven't mastered the online retail business model yet. Either way, it seems that in at least some cases, shoppers may be better off ducking into their local OfficeMax than going to OfficeMax.com.
Second, though, it would be a mistake to generalize from this study to conclude that offline shopping is superior to online shopping overall. Just because brick-and-mortar stores offer great back-to-school sales doesn't mean they're cheaper than their online counterparts for other items, or at other times of the year.
And, importantly, Leiser noted that the study only compared the online and offline experiences of specific stores that offered both. That means that it did not include online retail giant Amazon.com.
It also means that it did not consider the relative ease of comparison-shopping online. If you drive to Target, it's a big hassle to then drive to Office Depot to see if their prices are better. But in your Web browser, you can toggle between numerous sites with the click of a button.
Leiser said the proper takeaway from the study for consumers is simply that you can't assume that things will be cheaper just because you're buying them online: You have to be smart about it.
"We thought online would be hands-down, no-brainer, the number-one experience," Leiser said. "Overall it was less convenient than we thought."

Ukrainian Internet sensation, Valeria Lukyanova, has an interesting life growing up and how she maintains her current self. Before the scrutiny, the fame, and the surgeries, she already had an uncanny way of getting by.
Valeria Lukyanova is famous all around the world because of her looks that resemble the iconic Barbie Doll: her doe eyes, platinum hair, and ridiculously slim and curvy figure. Lukyanova is adored (and scrutinized) by many for her perception of beauty, but the mixed reactions from followers don't not stop her from expressing her want to become a human doll.
1. Valeria had "cool parents."
Brought up by a mother who worked for the military sector and a builder dad who part-times as a DJ, Valeria had a colorful childhood. She said before that her love for music rooted form her father's influence and her mother's collection, that is why she uploads videos on YouTube singing opera and performing her original compositions.
2. Valeria had a huge doll collection as a child.
Since a little girl, Valeria has always had a fascination with dolls. At a young age, she already owned more than 50 dolls which she displayed in her room. Her fixation gradually inspired her to model like dolls, ultimately giving her the persona she has today.
3. Valeria won a beauty pageant in 2007
The human doll joined and won a beauty pageant in Ukraine back in 2007, where she competed with girls who also underwent plastic surgeries. Called the "Diamond Crown," plastic surgeons encourage their patients to join the contest to showcase their "work." See the video below for footage from the pageant.
4. Valeria had her breasts surgically enhanced
Though denying any other form of plastic surgery, Valeria truthfully admits that she had her breasts done to "become perfect." This shows how she sees beauty, and some say it was not necessary since her body is slim and tiny. She says that her doll-like features are done through detailed make-up artistry and tricks she shares through her YouTube video. Though this is still questionable, the human doll stands by her beliefs.
5. Valeria undergoes drastic diet processes to achieve her figure.
In a Russian interview back in October, the human doll says that for four months, she only consumed juices to cleanse her body and rid unwanted fat. "For the last four months I've been on a liquid diet and then I plan to drink only water," admitted Valeria. She also says that going under a raw meat diet makes her look thin all throughout the year.
"After that I will live only on the prana. For many years I was on a raw food diet, but for deeper spiritual practices I need to improve myself." added the human doll.
