I haven't watched much of Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants, but this clip might be all my stomach can take. Mothers and daughters are supposed to team up to compete in beauty pageant-like challenges, and let's just say it brings out the worst in some. This irony-challenged and charming duo is too good for the food served up by another team (cuz, you know, frozen burgers are sooo gourmet). I'd Read more
On the guilt-to-pleasure scale for reality TV, where will Crowned fall? The mother-daughter beauty competition show premieres tonight on the CW, with 11 teams moving into a posh pageant house and competing against each other for the ultimate crown. On the one hand, the feminist in me wants to get all up in arms about another show that portrays women as shallow and catty. On the other, I have to Read more

This just might be the best bad idea I've heard in a while. The CW is casting for a new show called "Crowned" that will pit mother-daughter pairs of beauty contestants against each other. Sort of "America's Next Top Model" meets "The Amazing Race," but almost guaranteed to be more screwed up than either of those. They're looking for both pageant veterans and first-timers, and the prize is Read more
You know that amazing moment when you pull off a sweater and your hair looks perfectly disheveled immediately thereafter? That's just the effect hairstylist Kevin Ryan (for Aveda) wanted to capture when creating the lifted, slightly mussed coiffures at Richard Chai Love. To create the play on texture, particularly at the crown, Ryan began by spritzing the brand's Volumizing Tonic on models' Read more

Scandinavian interior design is one of my absolute favorite decorating styles, and one standout feature in many Scandinavian homes is the traditional stove that regally occupies a corner of a bedroom or living room. Most Scandinavian stoves are column-shaped, ceramic, and white in color. Similar to the one pictured here, they also often feature a crown-like adornment near the top — a nod to Read more
