BlackBerry Joins John Mayer On Tour

GeekSugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 15:05:41 PDT

First John Mayer declared that he was a geeky master gamer who loves playing Halo. Well it turns out he might also be a BlackBerry junkie as well!

Reuters has announced that BlackBerry will be sponsoring Mayer's 40-date tour which is set to begin June 1. BlackBerry is using the tour to help launch its upcoming AT&T mobile phone, the Curve.

The senior director of corporate marketing for Research In Motion is hoping that this partnership will help BlackBerry reach a new younger audience. On-site at each concert, people will be able to see, touch, feel and take pictures with the BlackBerry Curve so they can get an up close and personal look at this new sleek smartphone. Now if only I could get my hands on a pic of Mayer using the Curve...in due time!

Jenny Packham Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:00:13 PST

A smoky backdrop and a slinky red gown set the stage for Jenny Packham's '40s-inspired collection of sequined, curve-conscious evening wear. Once the mellow jazz kicked in, Packham's perfectly coiffed film noir girls hit the catwalk in a bevvy of the designer's era-infused shorter frocks - all with bow-tied red or black belts - hitting that pitch-perfect styling note between pretty and sexy. There are the softer confections in pretty pastel pink and blue - the gowns we suspect Packham fan Kate Middleton will gravitate toward - but the bulk of the collection is devoted to the more vixen-like beauty in body-clinging detail, plunging necklines, and open backs. There's an underlying sense of sex appeal and a definitively glam finish with every piece, thanks to intricate shoulder embellishment, a subtle flash of skin, or a pretty dose of sparkle.

Trends: '40s glamour, cutouts, shoulder embellishment.
Colors: Black, red, nude, silver, pastel pink and blue.
Key Piece: We fell hard for the slinky gold-sequined gown.
Accessories: Crisscross black Louboutin pumps; red and black belts.
Who Would Wear It: Kate Middleton; red-carpet beauties with an eye for sexy silhouettes and pretty detail.

Katy Perry Wears Skintight Costume - And Sings About Russell? - At Grammys

Molly Goodson — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:42:25 PST

Katy Perry's outfit left very little to the imagination as she hit the stage at the Grammys this evening. A Katy Perry impostor kicked off the performance pretending to be Katy singing "ET," before the real pop star emerged to debut her new single, "Part of Me," wearing a latex superhero-esque costume that clung to all her curves. The latter track is being included on the extended re-release of her album Teenage Dream, which means it's not a totally new song, but she did change the lyrics - perhaps to send a message to ex Russell Brand for the award show? Katy apparently rewrote a portion of the song recently to say: "You can keep the diamond ring/It don't mean nothing anyway/In fact you can keep everything/Yeah, yeah, except for me." Katy and Russell's divorce was finalized last week, just about a month after they initially announced their split. Do you think Katy was singing about Russell tonight?

Grammy Awards: Gwyneth Paltrow Stuns in Sexy Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:39:11 PST

This really shouldn't even be a poll, because we can't imagine who would look at Gwyneth Paltrow here and think her look isn't completely stunning. Her sporty halter dress from Stella McCartney hugs her curves perfectly, and she wisely chooses to keep everything simple - hair pulled pack in a sleek ponytail, clean makeup, super-minimal accessories including a ring by Delfina Delettrez - for a look that is ultra elegant and gorgeous. You know where we stand (we would vote her prom queen in a second), but let us know what you think of Gwyneth's clean, sexy look.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:32:03 PST

Taking us beyond the label's bandage dress, Max Azria delivered his signature sexy with rich equestrian details and a new sense of strength for Fall. For every curve-conscious silhouette, the strapped bodices and gladiator-inspired footwear counter with militant, almost dominatrix-feeling toughness. If it takes a confident woman to pull off Léger's more typical body-con wear, for this season's offerings - complete with leather harnesses and fur detailing - only the fiercest of fashion enthusiasts need apply.

Trends: Fetish, harnesses, leather, fur.
Colors: Black, white, nude, burgundy.
Key Piece: The white maxi paired with the fur-trimmed black leather harness.
Accessories: Slick mirrored clutches, gladiator-style knee-high boots with shin guards, open-toe ankle boots.
Who Would Wear It: Hervé's fans; the risk-taker with a taste for sexier fare.

Cynthia Rowley Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:59:50 PST

Deriving inspiration from craftsmen - mechanics, cobblers, and (much more obviously) leathermen, Cynthia Rowley's own Fall craftsmanship honed in on these artists with a succinctly modern and much sportier interpretation. Save for denim on denim suiting or brilliant colored leather, there's not too much literal interpretation, but rather a cool collection of womanly, curve-conscious design married with menswear-inspired structure. We're treated to bold all-over prints washed over body-skimming sheaths, skinny pants, and even gloves. And while a tougher, boxier leather jacket lined in shearling might pinpoint Rowley's craftsmen influences, what takes shape is still definitively for the girls.

Trends: Colored leather, abstract prints, menswear.
Colors: Blue, black, maroon, orange, olive green, gray, white.
Key Piece: We love the printed pants, shearling-trimmed jacket, and deep navy leather pieces.
Accessories: Aviator shades, ankle boots, strappy platforms and socks, jeweled necklaces at the collar, feather-adorned bags, graphic printed gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Girls with an appetite for truly modern, crafty sportswear.

4 Moves to Say Goodbye to Saddlebags

Self — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:54:13 PST

We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar!

If you're saddled with saddlebags, you probably think you got the short end of the family gene pool stick. But, lucky for you, those pesky fat deposits surrounding your hips, thighs, and butt are far easier to banish than, say, Great Aunt Hilda or your bossy big sister. "Saddlebags are largely determined by genetics, hormones, and age, but women can still affect the shape of their bodies through nutrition and exercise," says Rebekah Rotstein, a New York-based Pilates instructor who recently released the Pilates For Buff Bones DVD.

Not sure where to begin? Rotstein recommends utilizing large muscle groups rather than relying on spot training for fast results. "Pilates get results because it's a whole-body exercise program and works your muscles synergistically," she says. "Muscles aren't meant to function independently but as a team!"

Just remember to keep your expectations realistic. No workout in the world can turn you into Cameron Diaz overnight. "All women have padding at their hips, no matter how thin we are (even Diaz!)," says Rotstein. "It's what differentiates us from men and accentuates the curves you've got!"

To tone up those saddlebags fast, add these four moves to your regular workout routine. Check out the moves after the break.
