Gretchen Wilson On Working Hard, Playing Harder
Chris Polk/WireImage In her latest single titled “Work Hard, Play Harder,” Gretchen Wilson let fans catch a glimpse into the way the country crooner chooses to live her life: logging long hours at the studio, but even longer hours at home with daughter Grace Frances ! “I love to be able to work my butt off in the studio and then go out there and hit four nights in a row on tour, then come back here again to the record company and make four or five decisions,” she tells The Boot. Fortunately, days spent away from her family are followed by rest and relaxation at home with Grace.

A-Morir Sunglasses Are Now At Karmaloop!
After much anticipation, A-Morir is now available at Karmaloop.com ! Created in 2008 by designer and owner, Kerin Rose, A-Morir glasses are the IT thing to have right now! A-Morir is a successfully curated accessory line with a particular emphasis on Swarovski-encrusted eyewear. Not only are Miss Roses’s pieces to die for, but they are intended to be so beautiful that a little part of the viewer dies inside, as the French would say, “une petite mort.” Each painstakingly adorned pair covered in rhinestones, spikes, chains, lace, studs or pearls reflects the designer’s love of the theatrical, the luxurious and most importantly, the glam! As seen in numerous music videos, such as on Rihanna in Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” video and on Snoop Dogg in his “GangstaLuv” video, A-Morir is staking its reputation as a celeb favorite

CBS Overlooks How Congolese Criminals Fund FDLR
The 60 Minutes report on how illicit gold mines support the FDLR was worthwhile and timely, but it barely grazed the surface of the issue. For another, more in-depth view of the way mineral exploitation is destroying the Congo, read the recent special report to the UN Security Council on MONUC’s support of anti-FDLR military operations in North and South Kivu. The report bears close analysis on many issues.

Add Some Shape With A Tulip Skirt!
A lot of brands and designers have been embracing the curves of women with larger hips, and although I think it’s great for fashionable clothing to be available for women of all shapes and sizes, what if you have the opposite problem of hips that are too slender or don’t help to define your waistline? Tulip skirts are a great way to add a bit of shape and volume to the hip area, perfect for women who struggle with square or small hips. They also help make the legs look longer, and they have a bit of a princess quality about them.
