The New Limelight: Your One-stop Shop for Vaginal Perfume and Fine Gelato
Last night the Limelight Marketplace opened to press and New York City luminaries like the Real Housewives and Richie Rich for a preview prior to this afternoon’s official opening. What was once a pulsating, sweaty nightclub is now a clean, glossy mall! Only it’s like the scaled-down version of something you might find in suburbia, with stores that feel more like kiosks than full-fledged retail outlets. We went to investigate with hopes of stealing a disco ball and acquiring some free lotions and/or chocolate. And all our dreams came true! However, we can’t imagine having a reason to return in the future other than wanting to show friends and out-of-towners how nice the new black-and-white tiles are and remark, “Can you believe that MarieBelle used to be the D.J. booth?”
The Limelight’s shell has been preserved, while only the innards have been gutted and transplanted. The resulting space is gorgeous, and last night it looked to almost be complete, save two stray sinks festering in a third-floor stairwell. However, the vendors inside are a strange mix: Havaianas, Hunter boots, MarieBelle chocolates, and Brocade home interiors all mingle. On the ground floor you’ll find foodstuffs in the back, mostly sweets like cupcakes, gelato, and brownies, but also some fine olive oil and fatty meats. We spotted Jill Zarin teetering in silver Louboutin heels and a skintight Hervé Léger dress perusing the fine-salt nook and raving over how great they are in pesto, free cone of gelato in hand. Outside is a little patio where you could sit and eat, which is sure to be mobbed on nice days.
MarieBelle occupies the old D.J. booth and has a very fine chandelier hanging over its toffee bricks. In the floors between, you’ll also find some cosmetics and jewelry and other knickknacks. But that’s exactly the problem with the current mix of vendors: It’s mostly knickknacks and gifty things. But Mother’s Day only happens once a year. The concept is fantastic and fun and the stores are adorable, but there was nothing in there we’d go out of our way to buy. One puzzling store on the first floor sold stuffed animals, safari hats, incense, and Spanx. On a shelf near the Spanx, we spotted a pink plastic container labeled “FABULOUSNESS.” It held what looked like a white washcloth along with “on-the-go wipettes” to clean your vagina and “eau de spot,” a product that promises to “make the scent of a woman even better.” We spotted nothing similar for penises.
Elizabeth Hurley’s New Bikini Collection 2010
Despite the difficult times every business is facing these years, Elizabeth Hurley’s Beach Collection seems to go strong. Getting ready for the new beach season, Elizabeth Hurley launched her new collection for 2010.
With every new bikini she’s modelling, Elizabeth Hurley reminds us of her glory days and that’s a good thing for someone who has become famous for a notorious Versace safety pins black dress. Beach accessories and new swimwear for every taste and shape, Elizabeth Hurley has thought of everything to make those selling numbers grow. Photoshop too, biensur. But we don’t mind, do we? It’s Liz Hurley, she has to keep that cleavage up. Ahem image up. (more images right after the jump, click here for the gallery!) (photos via 1, 2)

How Devi Kroell Kickboxes Her Way to Fashionable Fabulousness
Known for her pricey exotic handbags, the designer blow offs off steam on another kind of bag – a heavy bag. The Austrian born, NYC-based Kroell roundhouses, jabs, hooks, and otherwise kick-butts her way into shape twice a week on Monday and Friday mornings when her trainer has her punching and jabbing at a target, as well as running and doing jump-rope drills in nearby Washington Square Park. “Kickboxing is all about rhythm and maintaining momentum,” she explains in the most recent WSJ. Magazine…and then acknowledges the real reason she's such a devotee. “I will never have flabby arms." (photo: Hilary Walsh/WSJ.)

French Chic from Shabby Apple for Properly Parisienne Summer Style
After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered
enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without having to wear a tank
top, cardi or long slip), Emily and CK decided to do something about it. They visited trade shows, marketplaces and designer studios only to discover the problem was not that stores weren't buying the right dresses, but that designers weren't designing them. So they launched Shabby Apple, focusing on fabrics and silhouettes that highlight those feminine curves, and draw attention to your waist. This spring/summer, they looked to "La Ville-Lumière" for inspiration. "Paris forever symbolizes the feminine woman," says Shabby Apple co-owner Athelia Woolley who spent time in the City of Light listening to Edith Piaf records and searching for her memory along the Champs Elysees, past the place she first performed at Le Gerny; through the Little Sparrow's childhood haunts in the red-light district "where the Moulin Rouge lit up the night for the street acrobats and singers;" the Olympia Music Hall; along the Seine and the old Latin Quarter; and finally at the final resting place of so many famous icons: Pere Lachaise Cemetery. A picnic tribute included fresh lemonade, baguettes, and an impromptu sing-along of Piaf faves including "Milord" and, of course, "La Vie En Rose."
