FakeBake is an incredibly natural looking spray tan, that had the stars and TV crews lining up down the hall way to get a free spray tan, to give them that sun kissed look for the awards. This fabulous product contains botanicaly extracted ingredients, doesn't contain any dyes and develops a tan that is so natural you would think you just came back from a week in the Bahamas. It also dries quickly with no smelly odor and you can get dressed and without fear of ruining your clothes. I was wearing white, Great China Wall, sweats ( you know how expensive they are !!!) and had no residue come off on them after being sprayed. The other great thing about FakeBake is that you can spray your face over makeup and it doesn't go patchy or streak. I had to go straight out to a GRAMMY dinner that night, only having time to change clothes. EVERYONE was asking where I'd been on holiday and complimenting me on my tan! I had to tell them my secret out of duty to prevent the Umpa Lumpa look continuing.
At last, a spray tan that makes you look natural. Now, can someone tell Paris Hilton please.

The Guestbook
Hi, it's Jessica from The Gloss! I'm so excited to be at the Grammy Style Studio -- I got some awesome pics of bags, dresses and jewelry (men's and women's!). If the style studio is any indication, fashion at the Grammy's is going to be fabulous, color-infused, and of course have a healthy dose of rock n' roll. Can't wait to post pics!
SAKE To Me Baby!!
The difference between British and US Music awards is that you actually remember the US awards, soley for the fact that everyone is pretty sober compared to the carnage of, say, the Brit Awards for example.
Imagine my surprise and joy that the GRAMMY Style Studio's drink sponsors include the must exclusive and pure sake in the world. Of course, being a rock n roll Brit, the drink sampling was my first stop!
Iwao Niizawa is the 9th generation toji (sake brewmaster) of niizawa Brewery. With his extremely sharp sense of taste, he became the youngest toji at just 25 years old.His legendary sake is nowavailable for the first time in the US in limited qualities and , I can assure you is well worth the wait and money. SUPER is the most luxurious and expensive sake ever made, with each grain of rice being polished for 250 hours straight, and the price of this luxary? A mere $2000 per bottle , well there are only 100 bottles made per year!
Shoichi Sato is the most highly regarded toji of the past 20 years. He has won 16 Gold prizes at the National New Sake awards. He begins by conceptualizing a sake with specific flavors and aromas, then begins the brewing process to create the exact sake he invisioned. My favorites were the sake champagne ( who knew!) and the plum sake ( again, who knew!!!)
It seems that sake has won it way
into the rock n roll hall of fame.
Style Studio Designer Profile: TW Steel
Time is the wisest counselor of all. ~Pericles
In the day of smart phones, the watch is quickly becoming an overlooked accessory to many. But the stunning designs of TW Steel could inspire many to become a devout watch fanatic. BOLD is the best way to describe this Dutch designer. These oversized watches are much more than merely an accessory but they represent a lifestyle.
TW Steel, the name meaning 'The Watch in Steel', has rapidly established itself as a big, bold, lifestyle brand. TW Steel is ‘Official Timing Partner’ to Lotus Renault GP competing in the FIA Formula One World Championship. With ambassadors such as Dario Franchitti and David Coulthard, this stunning brand places an importance on time AND STYLE.
Jordy and Ton Cobelens, the founders of TW Steel and CEO and Chief Design Officer respectively, have created a line that’s not only striking, trendy, but also have an affordable price point.
With 124 different models in the collection, TW Steel has attained a global appeal while creating an
internationally recognized and respected brand name.
TW Steel’s timelessness and functional attributes almost make checking your time on your iphone seem
trite. The best accessories are those that stand the test of time and TW Steel’s watches truly fit the bill.
The Guestbook
Izzy Lawrence here, The Official Fashion Blogger for GRAMMY.com. So, what a day! I am writing to you from The GRAMMY Style Studio (on the 51st floor!). This is where the stars and their stylists come and choose what to wear for music biggest day; The GRAMMY Awards. The views are amazing inside and out of the style studio. I have fallen in love and had my heart broken by the pieces on show, they are truly incredible.
I am so looking forward to seeing the stars on the red carpet wearing some of the cutting edge designers clothes and accessories. I have my bet placed on Gypsyz for Taylor Swift, Brian Lichtenberg for Lady Gaga and Elvis Laskin for Rhianna.
Accessory wise I absolutely loved the gorgeous and functional bags of Bagstil, and can see them flooding the red carpet on Sunday at The GRAMMY Awards. Lisa Michelle's delicate, vintage and playful bracelets and headbands would be a welcome feature on the red carpet. The final touch is definitely Karl Langerfeld classic sunglasses, especially the ones only made in France and shipped over here especially for the stars on the red carpet. Watch this space!
