Mila Kunis: I Don’t Think I’m Attractive
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The Ted actress thinks that she isn't a naturally sexual person but her sense of humor has helped her look appealing: "I appreciate the attention but I don't think of myself as particularly attractive at all. I also don't have that naturally sexual or sensuous way of behaving that some women have. I do have a pretty sharp sense of humor, though, and I think that has helped me."
Mila was born in Ukraine but moved to Los Angeles with her parents when she was seven. Neither her taxi driver dad Mark nor her mother Elvira, who manages a pharmacy, had any links to the film industry so Mila has had to work her own way up.
"LA is filled with the most beautiful women in the world who all come here to be part of the entertainment industry. It's impossible to compete against that. Some women rely on their looks to make it and others know that they need to work hard to not just be treated as a pretty object and have a serious career."

Viktor and Rolf Design a Charity Stroller
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
The Amsterdam-based designer duo have collaborated with Dutch brand Bugaboo in aid of the charity (RED) to create a luxury stroller.
"It was a fun project to work on. The idea was 'my first car' and thinking about what a stroller is and a car came to mind, which is ironic and surreal and goes very well with Viktor and Rolf. The development took a while - there were certain restraints as it had to be child-proof and it had to be tested. It was an interesting project. For us, they're fun to do next to our own fashion label, to do something totally different," Viktor Horsting said, speaking at the Park Hyatt cocktail reception at the official launch in Paris over the weekend.
Viktor was joined by model and muse Anne V, who donned one of V&R's black creations for the occasion. "I'm really happy to be here and support (RED), it was all a bit last minute that I was going to be in Paris - and they [Viktor and Rolf] are the nicest guys. Their clothes make you feel like Cinderella," she gushed.

"I most like seeing my designs worn by anyone who is passionate about what they choose to wear and are excited and motivated by my designs. I always design for women who love to play with fashion. I study what people are drawn to by personally getting feedback from my customers. I admire anyone who is fearless in what they choose to wear."
Nicole says she is a huge fan of Kate Moss' look. When asked by Company magazine who her girl crush was, Nicole replied, "That is so hard to choose. But probably Kate Moss."
The former reality TV star also revealed the inspirations behind her latest collections: "The S/S12 range was inspired by my travels to the Souks of Marrakech, as well as Egyptian Sarcophagus. The feminine qualities are juxtaposed with intricate woven details, saturated colors and hardware that bring the old world to the present day. For A/W12, the collections are inspired by the 1970s and gothic rock."
