According to today’s WWD, Procter & Gamble is discontinuing Max Factor in the U.S.!!!

A quote:
Procter & Gamble has announced it will discontinue the sale of the Max Factor makeup brand in the U.S. beginning early next year, while continuing to sell it globally.

I am sad!

I JUST fell in love with their 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper. I feel like I may have to follow the lead of Elaine and her Today sponges while I still can!

#1 First Lady of Fashion: With the election of John F. Kennedy as president, Jackie Kennedy becomes an instant and enduring style icon in her trim suits, pillbox hats and those oh-so-elegant pearls. Her arrival at the White House temporarily elevates Washington D.C. to an international epicenter of chic.

#2 The Rachel – Jennifer Aniston bouncy layered ‘do gives Farrah Fawcett’s feathered flip a run for its money as television’s most copied coiffeur with “the Rachel”, the style worn by her alter ego, Rachel Green, on “Friends.” Created by hairstylist Chris McMillan, the cut inspired legions of fans to chop their locks.

#3 Talk about Sex…Fashion consumerism hits an all time high with the debut of Sex and The City. Known for her unique sense of style and love of the status shoe (Manolo Blahniks in particular), writer Carrie Bradshaw looks for love, sex, friendship and fashion in New York City.

So, what do you think?  Think “The Rachel” deserves to be in the top 3?  I’m not at all sure about that one, but the other two are definitely right.   I think Brooke Shield’s Calvin’s probably deserve the third spot.  I am still in love with Calvin Klein jeans to this day – have worn them most of my life.

In celebration of their new site, the editors at WWD have offered up 75 Defining Moments in Fashion – which you can vote on for the next three weeks (yes, even after WWD closes back down to only subscribers).  Here is how it works:

The 75 Defining Moments in Fashion poll will be fielded in conjunction with Entertainment Tonight, the #1 syndicated entertainment newsmagazine in the world.  WWD Executive Editor Bridget Foley will announce the contest on this evening’s show and will explain the month-long voting process.  At the beginning of each of the first three weeks, 25 new “moments” will be revealed on WWD.com/definingfashion for readers to vote upon.  On August 25^th, the top 15 moments from the previous weeks will be voted on to reveal the #1 Defining Moment in Fashion, which will be announced simultaneously on Entertainment Tonight and WWD.com on September 2^nd.

And I have to say, the best part about this is that when you cast a vote, you will be entered into a drawing to win a handbag worth $2500.  Sweetness!

So do check out WWD – I have been a subscriber for a very long time, it is a great read every day (I don’t even read my local newspaper every day – pitiful).  If you’re interested, a year online subscription is $100 – about $8.50 a month.  Well worth the price if you ask me!

Now don’t go vote, so Ill have a better chance of winning the bag, mmmkay?
