Teri Hatcher is unquestionably "Tail Bait." Posted by Hello

Tail Bait!



Dressing Out: Pretty underthings gained new meaning last year with the inception of "Tail Bait." Three long time friends founded Tail Bait in January of 2003. The Tail Bait concept of "Outer-Underwear" was conceived as a result of the low rise, hip-hugger jeans craze. Inspired by the desire to find a pretty and sexy thong to wear with their low rise jeans, the three girls started hand-making thongs with detachable rhinestone straps that could be worn above the pant line. Everywhere they went, the Tail Bait thongs created a stir as their new idea of "hip jewelry" fast became a trend. The look eventually branched out into bras and camisoles with the same detachable rhinestone straps that were designed to be worn with tanks and off-the-shoulder tops. Thus was born "Outer-Underwear"...The new way to under-dress.
Tail Bait lingerie can be found in boutiques and specialty stores in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Diego, Scottsdale and Miami as well as Macy's New York, Macy's San Francisco and Macy's Las Vegas. Celeb Tail Bait fans include Paula Abdul, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Nia Vardalos, Ryan Starr and more.

Bustin’ Myths: “Mythbusters” is a weekly series that uses science to discover the truth behind some of the most legendary urban myths. Hosted by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, it airs every Wednesday from 9 to 10 p.m. (et/pt) on the Discovery Channel.

The following episodes will premiere in November 2004:

November 3, 2004: Ping Pong Rescue: In this episode of MythBusters, Adam and Jamie put on wetsuits and get ready to take a dive for another myth busting experiment. Is it possible to lift a sunken boat from the ocean floor using only ping pong balls? The MythBusters try to salvage a boat with thousands of ping pong balls, but will it remain at the bottom of Monterey Bay or rise to the occasion? Scottie, Tori & Kari then get carried away to answer the question raised by countless Hollywood movies -- just how many balloons will it take to lift a three year-old child off the ground?

November 10, 2004: Boom Lift Catapult: On this episode, the MythBusters explore the myth of a boom-lift catapult. Crash-test dummy Buster volunteers to lend a hand, but can he overcome the raw power of a 30,000 pound piece of machinery, or will the boom-lift turn into the ultimate medieval catapult? Also, do the MythBusters know a sure-fire way to improve gas mileage? Jamie and Adam investigate the most fuel-efficient way to keep cool in the car turning your air-conditioning on or opening the windows?

November 17, 2004: National Treasure Tie-In (at 8 p.m.) MythBusters will take on Washington DC’s biggest mysteries and Insider myths. With Washington DC as their backdrop MythBusters will bust out the stories behind some of the themes theupcoming movie 'National Treasure.' These mini-myths will focus on the following topics: Currency, Free Masons, Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin, Lincoln Memorial, National Archives.

November 21, 2004: Exploding House (at 3 p.m.) In this episode of MythBusters, Jamie and Adam return to familiar territory - blowing stuff up in the name of science. Armed with roach foggers and an abandoned apartment building, the guys find out if toxic fumes and bug bombs could prove an explosive combination. And is it really all that difficult to find a needle in a haystack? The MythBusters get competitive in order to create the supreme needle-finding machine – but will predictions and ego get the best of Jamie and Adam as they battle to bust this myth? In another myth, Jamie and Adam investigate whether talking to plants really makes a difference. The build team literally hits the roof to prove if whispering sweet nothings to your plants is the secret to gardening success.


Building the Perfect Mansion: To complete their remodeling efforts, contestants must finish the downstairs rooms in the latest episode of TBS's reality series “The Mansion” airing Saturday, November 13, 2004 at 10 a.m. (ET/PT). “The Mansion” from Evolution Film & Tape, Inc. (Switched!, Bands Reunited), ups the ante on home-renovation as eight supercharged competitors renovate a Cincinnati mansion that one of them will eventually get to keep. Hosted by Mark L. Walberg (Temptation Island), the series challenges amateur remodelers to work together on home-improvement projects with time and budget constraints while facing personality conflicts, sharing a living space and following the leadership of a new foreman each week.

The downstairs common rooms are the final decorating and remodeling challenge and the last chance for the team to impress the TBS audience before votes are cast to award the Mansion. The project includes the four major rooms on the first floor: living room, dining room, breakfast room and music room. With three days and more than $45,000 to complete this task, the team struggles when the ongoing battle between design and demolition finally erupts into a major war as advocates of each come head to head.

Walberg throws out the final curve ball when he offers to buy out any of the team members who feel like they would rather "take the money and run." He offers a lump sum payout for someone to walk out of the house and abandon the opportunity of winning the Mansion.

TBS viewers will vote to give one of the eight competitors the keys to the newly renovated dream house. Viewers may cast their votes online at www.tbs.com/shows/themansion <http://www.tbs.com/shows/themansion> after Episode seven. The winner will be announced during the finale November 18, 2004 at 10 p.m.

Salute to Surly Girl

Today's newsletter takes a look at one of our favorite handbag lines: Surly Girl. Yesterday they presented their latest creations to stylists at an event held at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club. Thank goodness it was inside, because it was pouring rain. Yummy sandwiches and sweets and lots of bags to look at...

BeansTalk (in a previous incarnation) was one of the first members of the press to own their AGENT bag. Alison Muh and Tim Webb came down from San Francisco in a mad meeting with editors to introduce their new line of handbags. The bags were primarily a sueded corduroy with a double handle, and came in pink, caramel, chocolate and black. Most distinctive were the two large rhinestone buckles. Cute touch. The bags had names like the Director Case (starlets love this one, check out the pics here), Producer Purse, and our fave, The Agent Baguette. There's a Starlet Clutch, a Script Clutch, too. Just a few months later, they introduced baby soft lambskin leather to the line...

Since then, celebs have gone mad for the bag. Britney Spears, she who is watched most closely, has three of them and has been photographed several times toting a Surly Girl. Hilary Duff, Kathy Hilton, Rhona Mitra (she carried one of the new lambskin leather metallic bags at the Emmys -- you know her as Reese Witherspoon's best buddy from "Sweet Home Alabama"), Rachel Hunter, Kelly Stone, Ryan Star, Lauren House, Melissa George, Lacey Chabert (soon to star in the final film directed by Christopher Reeve, the Brooke Ellison story), Tara Lipinski, Paulina Rubio, Deborah Gibson, Krista Campbell, Alison Sweeney, Kelly Osbourne, Kristian Alfonso, Traci Bingham, Summer Altice, Vanessa Lengenies, Maria Menounos, and many others (including yours truly) have carried it. Sharon Stone owns several styles.

But the most famous of all fans is Joely Richardson who was roundly named best dressed at the Emmy Awards in that Grecian inspired dress by Princess Diana's designer, Catherine Walker (Brits supporting Brits -- because although Richardson plays American in "Nip & Tuck," she's a real Brit). That sweet silver bag she was carrying? The one with the major bling of a Kwiat brooch? That was a Surly Girl.

The amazing thing about the line is that they introduced the bags in January. Of THIS year. In our years covering fashion, we have yet to see a line with such a major trajectory. It was introduced and within a matter of a couple of months, celebs were carrying the bags everywhere.

We wouldn't normally dedicate this much space, unless it was something truly unique. And these bags are. Check them out at www.surlygirlstudios.com (make sure you put studios in there or you'll get some Northern California couple's wedding invitation from August).

Pop Princess Loves Her Director Case


Hilary Duff, successor to Britney Spears' pop singer princessdom (but has had a successful TV and Film career to boot), loves Surly Girl too. As a matter of fact, who doesn't? Could a directing career be in the works? Is this a foreshadowing? Posted by Hello
