Tie-Dye Nails. Cause sure, this is a good use of our time.

Nail trends are coming and going faster than girls take their dresses off at prom these days. From gels to airbrush to Lindsay Lohan's micro-profanities, nails are the latest canvas for personal expression.

So, on Friday night, after a few cocktails and a diminished common sense, my good friend and comrade, Renee, convinced me to scotch tape all my digits and dip them into polish-splattered water, creating what's apparently the newest DIY nail fad--tie-dye nails.

I'll tell you this much about our results. Each nail is certainly 'different.' And by different, I mean 'special.' And by 'special,' I mean a little 'funny.' But they photograph well.

And here they are...

Laugh Track: Molly Sims takes on Brooke Shields' Latisse Ad

Brooke Shields has been plugging Latisse, the new treatment for 'inadequate' eyelashes for a while now. It was only a matter of time before someone took on the product, its absurdity, and it's long list of gruesome potential side effects. *

* If you are using prescription products for lowering eye pressure or have a history of eye pressure problems, only use LATISSE® under close doctor supervision. May cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible, and there is potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent. There is a potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE® solution comes in repeated contact with skin surfaces. If you develop or experience any eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor immediately about continued use of LATISSE®. The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness.

I wanna smell like...Beyonce??

Beyonce is just the latest in a slew of celebrities who are lending their names to perfumes, colognes, (perhaps even scented room sprays by now? Who knows!).

Now, I understand wanting to dress like a star. Who doesn't want to feel like they belong on a red carpet? And I sort of (maybe--kind of?) get those folks who get a new hair cut to match each of Jennifer Aniston's new dos. But smelling like a celeb? I'm just not sure I understand.

Last time I was in CVS, I took note of each celeb spray in the key-protected, glass-enclosed fragrance case (don't worry, CVS--no chance I'm trying to steal any of these).

Below, the celebs who've made it to the fragrance aisle and what I imagine their scents smell of...
Celine - Canadian sausage + glitter (does glitter smell? I hope so.)
Usher - A little like Aqua Velvet
David Beckham - Dirt and sweat (I don't imagine I'd mind David's sweat)
Hillary Duff - A little bit sweet--a little bit stale
Antonio Banderas - Rawhide with a splash of chile
Tim McGraw - Gumbo
Shania Twain - Canadian gumbo
Paris Hilton - Bleach + wet dog
Sarah Jessica Parker - Cotton candy + hairspray
Kimora Simmons - Does 'bitch' stink?
J-Lo - The Bronx
Jennifer Lopez - Miami
Mariah Carey - Valium
Britney Spears - Slurpees
Sean John - Ciroc vodka and cran
