Katy O'Neil is a dear friend of mine and also dresses like a pin-up girl 24/7. I love the commitment to an aesthetic and I think it really suits her. I also love how there's the sign that says 'fire extinguisher' on the wall next to her!

The nylons are sick. It honestly looks like she's not wearing anything on her legs from the front -they are that sheer- but have this great detailing on the back!

Christopher Knight of "The Brady Bunch" and Adrianne Curry, who appeared on VH1's "My Fair Brady" together announced their separation on Sunday, after exactly five years of marriage.

"After starting a relationship with what seemed to be irreconcilable differences, the couple has reached a period where those differences are no longer appreciated," their manager Phil Viardo said in a statement to entertainment site Hollyscoop.

"The decision was mutually reached after it became clear to both that some perspective was needed in order to assess their unique union," Viardo continued. "They still love one another but need some distance to consider their future."

Knight, who played Peter Brady on The "Brady Bunch" and Adrianne Curry, who won the first season of "America's Next Top Model" met on the fourth season of the ensemble reality star cast show "The Surreal Life" in 2005 and began dating.

In 2005, they also starred in their own reality show, "My Fair Brady" and got married the following year after Knight proposed to Adrianne Curry on the season finale.

On Sunday, Adrianne Curry Tweeted, "May 29th, 2006 I married Christopher Anton Knight. Enjoy your weekend! I certainly am!!!"

Earlier in the month, Curry hinted at trouble at home on Howard Stern's radio show, Us Weekly reports. The reality star said at the time that she was "unsatisfied" at home and sought attention from her Twitter fans. She also admit that she often preferred masturbation to sexual relations with her husband.

Curry told OnTheRedCarpet.com at April's Reality Rocks event that the couple turned down a fourth season of the show to "concentrate on their marriage" and because VH1 wanted the reality star to have a child.

"Season three was all about my husband, my family and very much the network wanting me to conceive a child and I was not ready for a baby at the time, nor did I want to bring a child into the Hollywood environment, so we pulled the plug on the show," Curry told OnTheRedCarpet.com co-host Chris Balish at the Reality Rocks Expo in April. "We wanted to be focused on our marriage without people watching."

"Normally, they walk away [from a reality show] because they get a divorce, like Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson," Adrianne Curry continued. "But we got to walk away on our terms, which is a lot more satisfying than having people stop watching your show and having it pulled because there are low ratings." (S)

I photographed Anna & Kayvon Zand  outside Le Poisson Rouge last night at Oh! You Pretty Things, the GLAMorous shenanigans produced by Michael T., Benjamin Ickies, Shien Lee & Twig the Wonderkid. A fashion show by Wren Britton, tons of live performances accompanied by an orchestra and a dance performance were all part of the mix. I don't know if it was a throwback to earlier club days or really the beginning of something new but whatever it was it was divine. And before you ask: I did not photoshop the photo above. Anna really has a wasp waist in this corset!

The symphonic rock band, This Ambitious Orchestra provided the music for the performances by Kayvon, Twig the Wonderkid & Benjamin Ickies & Shien Lee among others.

WEMBLEY, England (AP)—Barcelona and Lionel Messi put their places among football’s all-time greats beyond all doubt as the Argentina forward scored one goal and created another in a mesmerizing 3-1 Champions League final win over Manchester United on Saturday.

Barcelona justified its status as overwhelming favorite by dominating possession with trademark one-touch passing. But with Wayne Rooney having equalized Pedro Rodriguez’s first-half opener, the Spanish champions could not force the crucial breakthrough until the Argentina striker conjured a 54th-minute solo strike from the edge of the area.

Man-of-the-match Messi followed his 53rd goal of a remarkable season with a feint and run that eventually led to David Villa receiving possession on the edge of the area, from where the Spain striker curled a shot into the top corner.

A third Champions League title in six seasons and fourth overall means that only Liverpool, AC Milan and fierce rival Real Madrid have won more European Cups than Barcelona’s four.

“I feel privileged,” Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said. “You always want to win, but the the way we have won is what I am most proud of. This is the way we want to play football.

“Lionel is the best player I have seen and probably the best I will ever see.”

Messi was typically taciturn in his celebration.

“I’m very happy about the match,” Messi said. “We were the better team. We deserved to win.”

No team has dominated Europe so comprehensively since Madrid’s three titles in five seasons from 1998-2002, and even that spell was punctuated by barren seasons.

Guardiola has now won 10 titles—including two European Cups—in his three years in charge of the club he served as a player for 17 years. Alex Ferguson, the most decorated manager in English football history, has needed 25 years with United to win the same number of Champions League titles.

“They do mesmerize you with their passing and we never really did control Messi,” Ferguson said. “But many people have said that.

“In my time as manager, it’s the best team I’ve faced.”

With Pedro scoring Barcelona’s opening goal midway through the first half from an imaginative through ball from stand-in captain Xavi Hernandez, the win was as comprehensive as its 2-0 victory over United in the 2009 final in Rome.

“When Rome finished, I thought we had played a good game, but when I looked at it again I wasn’t that impressed,” Guardiola said. “But it has served its purpose.

“I think we played much better than the game two years ago.”

The performance was so comfortable that Guardiola was able to bring on regular captain Carles Puyol for the last few moments, giving the injury-hit defender the chance to play a part in a memorable triumph.

But in a gesture symbolizing Barcelona’s team ethic, Puyol handed the armband over to Eric Abidal—whose place in the team had been in doubt after he had surgery this season to remove a liver tumor—and the France defender lifted the famous trophy.

“Players are human beings,” Guardiola said. “Carles has made a great gesture and it has made us stronger.”

United improved upon its 2009 final performance in Rome and did equalize in the 34th through Rooney, but could do little to disrupt Europe’s dominant footballing force.

Xavi orchestrated play from in front of Sergio Busquets, while Andres Iniesta and Messi tormented United with the pinpoint accuracy of their passing.

For half an hour, the match followed the same pattern as the 2009 final. United unsettled Barcelona with constant pressure on the man in possession and dominated the first 10 minutes before the Spanish league champions burst into life.

Barcelona pushed the United players deep into their own half and kept them there, with Xavi, Villa, Iniesta and Messi finding space where none seemed to exist.

Xavi created the first goal, drawing four opponents by dribbling to the edge of the area before releasing a diagonal pass into the path of Pedro, who arrived down the right to hit a firm shot past Van der Sar at his near post.

United responded by returning to its pressing game and it yielded an equalizer within seven minutes. From its own throw, Barcelona gave away possession on the right touchline to spark a five-player move as skillful as any in the match.

Rio Ferdinand, Fabio da Silva and Michael Carrick were all involved before Rooney carried the ball to the edge of the area and, slipping it to Ryan Giggs with the outside of his right boot, continued his run.

The veteran Giggs controlled with one touch and knocked it back to with his second, giving Rooney the perfect set-up to curl a shot past the reach of goalkeeper Victor Valdes and in at the far post.

But after emerging more than a minute late from the dressing room, Barcelona showed its mettle by retaining possession for almost 2 1/2 minutes at the start of the second half.

Messi’s solo effort then sent the Barcelona fans massed at the west end of the 90,000-seat stadium wild, and the volume was just as loud when Messi twisted and turned past substitute Nani near the right corner flag and carried the ball into the area.

The diminutive No. 10 lost control just when he looked likely to supply a killer pass but Busquets did it for him, finding Villa in space. The Spain striker looked up and sent the ball curling past Van der Sar.

The former Netherlands goalkeeper had already made stops from Messi, Xavi and Iniesta in his final match before retirement, but could do little but watch it sail past him.

“They were the better team so we cant really argue,” Ferdinand said. “They’re a great side with great players.”

Lineups:
Barcelona: Victor Valdes, Dani Alves (Carles Puyol, 88), Javier Mascherano, Gerard Pique, Eric Abidal, Xavi Hernandez, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Pedro Rodriguez (Ibrahim Afellay, 90), Lionel Messi, David Villa (Seydou Keita, 86).

I don't post many photos of girls in short dresses. The reason is that while mostly they look cute they don't seem to do more than that. And I'm not sure that this one is much more than just 'cute' either to be honest. But I thought it was a good alternative to black and it felt summery and appropriate for Memorial Day Weekend. Let me know if you think this look is indeed blogworthy. (Assuming the commenting function is working again! :) )

I have been trying my hand at some Abstract Paintings and I will have a full line of color blocks soon! For a sneak peek, click here. Enjoy the links from the week and see you back here tomorrow.

There is something about Sophie that I find utterly captivating. She has a great mix of old fashioned elegance and modern edge. And her pale skin on a hot summer day somehow looks so much better than those that over-compensate with bronzer in an attempt to be tan when it doesn't come naturally. It's all about working with what you have and making it work for you!
