Sarah Jessica Parker hairdo at Sex and the City NY premiereBy Serah Schuster @ The Hair Styler

Rollers are back: the curling kind, not the skates. At the premiere of Sex and the City the film’s stars (Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis,) showed us beautiful dresses, sensational shoes and sultry smiles. Oh and I almost forgot: hair styled with hot rollers too.

I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to see their glamorous outfits and I expected the world from their hairdos. And out they came: draped in designer gowns matched with designer shoes, but disappointing with hot roller hair. I’m sorry; I was expecting a bit more than this.

Ok, long sexy loose waves may be the new craze in the Big Apple but did they all need to have them? There’s no doubt hot rollers can be great for achieving seductive curves and captivating twists right down to the very ends. But their effect just wasn’t up to the spectacle of this event.

Sarah wore her hair down, and with the help of a hot roller set, her wavy hairdo was well balanced from her mid-lengths to her ends. But you know what: we see her with this style all the time. How about a bit of a change for once? I think an upstyle would have added more elegance and sparkle to her look, really setting off her dress by drawing more attention to her lovely jewellery.

Perez Hilton Clothing LineFor all you gossip-lovers out there, this will be interesting. You know how everybody and their brother has a clothing line, nowadays. Apparently even gossip bloggers are entitled to one. Read on.
“The (Perez) line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades–just to name a few.
The celebrity blogger also plans to sell tote bags, socks and earrings, and says fans will even be able to buy their own Perez Hilton journal, so they can be as nasty as P-Nasty himself.” (source: okmagazine.com)

Well, one thing is being a gossip blogger with color-changing hair, another thing is creating your own clothing line, and thinking it’s going to be a huge success. We’ll see how this goes.
But the prices seem ok - eventhough I never thought Hot Topic and it’s alternative subculture attitude would go hand in hand with the celeb-loving gossip trend.

So, are you ready for some Perez Originals? If so, head on to Hot Topic and pre-order some.
