Kelly Frye Interview

2014 has been a phenomenal year for Texas-born actress Kelly Frye. Starting off the year playing alongside Greg Kinnear in Rake as his sassy assistant, Frye is now starring as ex-military specialist turned superhero Plastique in the CW’s The Flash. Her bad-ass new role is inspiring girls around the world to go for what they want. Frye talks growing up with comic book fanatics, her love of feminine fashion and her desire to take flight in her exclusive interview with Runway.

You were recently cast as Bette Sans Souci aka Plastique on The CW’s The Flash. Playing a bomb disposal expert in Iraq, what kind of research did you do to prepare yourself for the role?
My oldest brother, Jason, is a huge DC Comics fan. When I told him about booking
Plastique he said, “I can’t believe MY little sister is going to be PLASTIQUE!” I made
sure to learn as much about the original character as I could before filming to make
DC Comic fans proud, especially my brother. Plastique in the TV show is different from
Plastique in the comics. I think people are really going to like her. The writers did an
awesome job adapting the character to fit into the world of the show. Plastique has a
military background on the show and one of the writers, Brooke Eikmeier, was in the
army herself. She was able to give me great advice on set.
Growing up with brothers, were you yourself exposed to comic books as a child? Did you have a favorite?
Comic book characters actually came to life in my home. My brothers created stories about their favorite characters and put on productions all the time. Jason always played Batman and I always wanted to be Batgirl. I definitely knew a lot more about Batman and The Beatles than any of my friends at school.
The benefits of having older brothers. As Plastique, your superpower is turning objects into weapons. That has to come in handy. If you could have any superpower in real life, what would it be?
You know, I’ve been thinking about that a lot. It would be incredible to be fast like The Flash or to be able to create explosives by just touching an object like Plastique, but I’ve always wanted to fly. What an incredible feeling to take off and soar through the sky whenever you want. Yeah, my superpower
would be flight.
Touching on your other roles, you also recently worked on the Fox series Rake alongside Greg Kinnear. Can you tell us a little more about your role as Cindy? Cindy Beck was a load of fun to play. She
was really smart, sassy, wore fab clothes and got frisky with Greg Kinnear’s character,
Keegan Deane. That job was fantastic on so many levels. On Rake, Cindy was Keegan
Deane’s new assistant at Leon & Associates. Keegan wasn’t too sure about working there
until he met Cindy and got the run-down of all the perks of working for the company.
When coming to the law firm, Keegan already had an assistant, Leanne, played by
the amazing Tara Summers. Tara’s character and my character got to butt heads a few
times. Playing Cindy was a great way to kick off 2014.
What has been your most memorable role to date, and what is your dream role?
I’ve had the chance to be a part of quite a few great productions, but joining The Flash has been the most exciting. The opportunity to be a part of a show of this magnitude and to see the audience’s reaction from the beginning has been an amazing gift. The
You are an inspiration to many young women and aspiring actors who want to
play strong roles. How do you stay inspired and motivated?
My mom is a strong woman herself, a constant inspiration and a great motivator. She gave my brothers and me the confidence to go after what we want in life. When my own confidence wavers, I call and ask her to
tell me a few magic stories from our life. I call them “magic stories” because they tend to
be situations where fate has played a heavy hand. She’s a wonderful storyteller and they
always lift my spirits and remind me that what is meant to be will be. I attribute my
ability to go after what I want completely to my mom. I surround myself with like-minded
people and they motivate me every day in their pursuit of their dreams. It’s never easy,
but nothing worth having ever is.
You are a natural beauty! You have great
hair and your complexion is gorgeous. What
are a few of your beauty secrets?
Thank you! I hope I don’t sound like a broken
record, but this is something else I attribute
to my mom. She’s a redhead as well and
has wonderful skin. She told me as a young
woman to never smoke, drink much, or
spend a lot of time in the sun. I don’t smoke,
drink much, or spend a lot of time in the sun,
or if I am in the sun, I’m slathered in SPF
50+. I also eat plenty of vegetables, drink an
inordinate amount of water, and go for long
walks with my pup, Coco.
How do you change up your routine to
combat winter weather?
I wear sunblock year round. It’s the one
product I can’t do without. Wintertime
usually has me moisturizing a bit more to
keep the dryness away.
When you lived in Oahu that probably
wasn’t much of a problem. That must be a
relaxing lifestyle! Did you enjoy island life?
I LOVED living on Oahu. I must have been
Hawaiian in a past life, because I take to
Hawaii like a fish takes to water. It is what
I imagine Heaven is like. I’d love to end up
back there at some point.
We have seen you both casually dressed
down and all decked out on the red carpet.
What style makes you feel most like “you”?
I am a Texas girl and we looooooove getting
dressed up for events! The idea of dressing
up every day does not interest me, but
everything surrounding getting ready for an
event can be so much fun! I’m a total girl’s
girl in that way. In my day to day life, I’d
describe my style as polished with a little
edge.
And last, but certainly not least, we must
know… is there a favorite winter style trend
you are excited about this season?
I keep seeing the over the knee boot and think
it looks so chic. I need to get to Neiman’s
and get myself a pair.
whole Flash experience has been magical
for me. To get to play a kick ass, strong
woman has always been a dream of mine. I
get to play my kick ass, strong woman in the
DC Comics Universe as a metahuman! Pretty
memorable!
Plastique would be any actress’s dream
role, and I get to be the one chosen to play
her! I hope to continue playing strong, kick
ass women for the rest of my career. I love
watching strong female characters and I love
playing them. Another dream would be to
work with Charlie Kaufman. I love his movies
and working with him has been on my wish
list for as long as I can remember.

Antonio Banderas, Fashion Designer?

by LINDA SHARKEY
Antonio Banderas is the latest celebrity to pursue a fashion career, as he’s moved to London to study at Central Saint Martins, the design school whose alumni include Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and John Galliano.

Following his split from former wife Melanie Griffin last summer, the 54-year-old Spanish actor revealed his new life plans on ITV’s Loose Women show. “It’s something that has been on my mind for a long time and probably one of the best schools in the world is here…and so I am going to start studying with them,” he said.

“It makes me feel actually very young to put the elbows on the table again and try to understand another reality,” he added. But The Mask of Zorro actor won’t leave his career on the side. “Of course I won’t stop my professional life, I’ll continue acting, directing, but this is a new thing,” he said.

Celebrities playing fashion designers are not a new concept, but the Puss in Boots actor’s aspirations come as a surprise – he doesn’t have quite the fashion kudos as some of his actor-turned-designer counterparts. Penelope Cruz and Pedro Almodova and Antonio Banderas celebrate winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for ‘All About My Mother’. 2000: Penelope Cruz, Pedro Almodovar and Antonio Banderas celebrate winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for All About My Mother

Banderas follows the steps of many celebrities-turned-designers, including Victoria Beckham, who now runs a successful label; Jessica Simpson, whose clothing line is worth $1bn; David Beckham, who has his own underwear line for H&M, has done numerous collaborations with brands and is set to launch a his own menswear label; Halle Berry, who also launched her own lingerie line called Scandale Paris; and Kanye West who’s been long in the fashion scene debuting his collection for Adidas during Paris Fashion Week. Beckham’s shop was previously a hunting and fishing goods store Victoria Beckham at her shop

Banderas is a Hollywood star with an impressive list of films under his belt, but after his student life perhaps he might start his own clothing line or take up a new job at an established fashion house.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like Leonardo DiCaprio on a vacation, you may just be able to.

According to the New York Times, the Wolf of Wall Street actor bought 104 acres of Blackadore Caye off the coast of Belize with a partner.

Dicaprio, 40, reportedly liked the location 10 years ago when he went for the first time. “It was like heaven on earth,” DiCaprio told the New York Times. “And almost immediately, I found this opportunity to purchase an island there.”

But DiCaprio isn’t keeping this island private and for himself. The actor is an environmentalist and is making sure the resort is both eco-conscious and restorative for the island.

“With the onset of climate change, there are huge challenges, so we want the structure to not only enhance and improve the environment, but to be a model for the future,” he said. “That includes restoring the island, creating conservation areas where we can hold research conferences, and regenerating the entire ecosystem to bring it back to its original form and beyond.”

While prices for the 68 guest villas have not been announced, homes are reportedly ranging in price from $5 to $15 million.

It sounds like it will be a steep price to vacation like DiCaprio!

The Ultimate Beauty Smoothie

Celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder feels beauty is achieved from the inside out. With clients like Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Rooney and Kate Mara, Dita Von Teese, and Channing Tatum, she says “outer beauty is a reflection of inner health.” Snyder is the founder of Glow Bio, an organic smoothie, juice and cleanse company based in Los Angeles, and author of two best-selling books. Her latest offering, “The Beauty Detox Power,” goes on sale today.

My Glowing Green Smoothie is most definitely the ultimate beauty smoothie. It’s something that I drink every day, and also something that I have all of my clients drink daily. When people ask me to choose one thing to incorporate into their diets to change their inner health and outer beauty, this it is—hands down. A serving of the GGS contains over three cups of dark leafy green vegetables, which is more than many people get in a week!

Blending the greens used in this recipe helps make the full spectrum of their nutrition readily available to the body. Nutrients are encased inside plant cells, and getting their benefits requires these cells’ walls to be ruptured. Greens need to be worked down to a creamy consistency, but most people simply don’t chew that much! Blending addresses this problem, helping your body absorb the maximum amount of nutrition from your greens.

I encourage you to mix and match your greens and fruit. Vary this recipe with kale, chard, arugula, and the like. Just avoid melons, as they don’t combine well with other produce. Read on for directions on how to make the smoothie and all the awesome beauty benefits each ingredient provides.

Glowing Green Smoothie
Yield: about 60 ounces (16-24 ounces is one typical serving)

Ingredients:
2 cups very cold, filtered water
7 cups spinach or kale, chopped
6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1½ cups chopped celery, about 2 stalks
1 apple, cored and chopped
1 pear, cored and chopped
1 banana
2 Tbs. fresh organic lemon juice

Directions:
Add water, spinach, and chopped romaine to the blender. Starting the blender on a low speed, mix until smooth.

Gradually move to higher speeds and add the celery, pear, and apple. Add the banana and lemon juice last.

Note: The reason I encourage blending the greens first is to ensure they have the most time to break down, as the fruit is made of simple sugars and water and doesn’t need to be blended as long.

Now, onto the beautifying ingredients within the smoothie!

France Moves to Ban Ultrathin Fashion Models

By

By JASON CHOW : CBS MEDIANET

PARIS—French lawmakers have voted in favor of a law that would ban excessively thin fashion models from the runway and potentially fine their employers in a move that prompted resistance in the modeling industry.

The country’s National Assembly on Friday supported an amendment that would forbid anybody under a certain level of body mass index, or BMI, from working as a runway model.

Those who hire underweight models could be fined as much as €75,000 ($82,460) and face up to six months in prison.

The point of the bill is to combat anorexia, said Olivier Véran, a doctor and the Socialist deputy from southeastern France who brought the idea forward.

“The law is to protect models, who are getting so thin that they’re in danger,” Mr. Véran told The Wall Street Journal late Friday. “It’s also to protect adolescents. This image of so-called ideal beauty augments the risk of eating disorders.”

Doctors say that a healthy BMI, which takes into account the weight and height of a person, is between 18.5 and 24.5. Mr. Véran didn’t suggest an appropriate BMI level for models, saying France’s workplace health authority should determine the number.

France’s move—which follows similar measures put in place in Italy and Spain—may ultimately force top haute couture brands to change the preferred profile of ultrathin models as a showcase for their latest clothes.

Paris, home to influential fashion weeks, is a hub for models who seek lucrative work on runways and fashion magazines.

The amendment still requires approval by France’s Senate before becoming enacted into law, but Mr. Véran expects it to pass and be enforced by the end of the year.

Still, the modeling industry in France opposes the proposed measures.

Isabelle Saint-Félix, secretary-general of SYNAM, a model agency trade organization, called the proposed amendment as “discrimination,” one that could potentially hurt the French fashion industry.

“Our models are thin, not sick. They are young and thin,” she said. “The government forgets that the fashion industry is international. Ninety percent of our models are foreigners. How can French agencies be competitive if they’re held to one standard in France that others are not in other countries?”

‘The law is to protect models, who are getting so thin that they’re in danger.’
—Olivier Véran
In 2007, Spain enacted regulations that barred models below a BMI level of 18.5 from being featured in fashion shows. That same year, Italy started insisting on health certificates for models as well as banning models under 16 years old on its runways.

In 2013, Israel enacted similar BMI rules for models, as well as requiring all photos that appear in the media that have been edited for the models’ appearance to be labeled.

The U.S. government hasn’t legislated rules for American models. The trade group Council of Fashion Designers of America has set minimum age requirements for models who appear during New York Fashion Week, though it doesn’t have similar body mass index rules.

Designer Socks and the Modern Man

By

Men are more into fashion today than ever before. Decades ago, if you were into fashion and designer clothes it usually meant you were wealthy or determined to be. Men’s high fashion isn’t like it used to be, though. More designers are making their lines available to everyone.
Designers are also paying more attention to all of the clothes men wear. For years, it seemed that the only options for men’s undergarments were white athletic socks, white briefs, and maybe some black or brown dress socks. Those were pretty boring years for men’s fashion.
These days are different. With consumers and designers on the same page when it comes to men’s fashion, we have more options than ever. Let’s take as an example the humble sock.

The Comfort of the Designer Athletic Sock
Athletes everywhere will tell you that one of the most essential pieces of their wardrobe are socks. Improper socks contribute to injury. The best socks, though, will give the athlete extra cushion where he needs it—on the ball and heel of his foot. Plus, the sock will have some stretch. This stretch enables the sock to keep its shape and prevent slippage. Therefore, there won’t be as much friction. Also, the stretch ensures a comfortable, stable feel without cutting off circulation.
You don’t need to be a hardcore athlete to enjoy the benefits of designer athletic socks. You don’t even need to be a weekend workout warrior. Athletic socks are great for those lazy days when you want to lounge around in something comfortable, cushiony, and warm.

Dapper Designer Dress Socks for the Modern Man
If you’re going to a cocktail party, a benefit, or just want to dress your best for work, you’ll need some high quality dress socks. Not only are white athletic socks inappropriate for wearing with a suit, so are ill fitting dress socks. Dapper dress socks fit your foot well. They have nylon and/or stretch added to them so that they conform to the shape of your foot. This ensures a comfortable experience for you, plus you avoid embarrassing sock overhang—when the material from the back of your sock hangs over the back of your shoe.

Casual Socks Are Just As Important
When it comes to casual socks, don’t think you need to settle with wearing athletic socks all of the time. These days, men have way more options in the sock department than they used to. Casual designer socks are comfortable, well designed and crafted, and made from the best materials available. Here are some examples:
• Mid–calf: Designers know how to have fun, and they want their customers to have fun too. That’s why more designers are offering exciting designs like flags (to show your support for the World Cup or the Olympics), stripes, and plaids. They also have styles that are reminiscent of days gone by, something you might imagine a stylish gent from the 30s or 40s would wear on his day off.

• Over the calf: Whether you like the mid–calf or over the calf socks, it’s important to have options. Some brands give you options like pink polka dots or pink plaid. The over the calf styles available will definitely help you show off your individuality and your fun side.

• Try the Dirty Dozen: Available in mid–calf and over the calf, the dirty dozen are a hand selected variety of socks chosen for you from the VK Nagrani men’s designer sock collection. As the pioneer of men’s designer socks, who better to help you choose your sock wardrobe?

Why You Should Go For Designer
It’s pretty self-evident, but it bears repeating—designer socks fit better. That is the number one reason you should invest in them. Designers don’t believe in the one size fits all philosophy. They know that every foot is different and take this into consideration, from the design down to the materials used to make the sock. These types of socks are not your run of the mill, average, shopping mall store brand socks.
Designers care about you as an individual and want to provide you with the best fashionable clothing experience. So, while there may be a little more to invest initially, in the long run men’s designer socks are going to last you a long time, will remain comfortable, and won’t easily lose their wow factor.
Whatever your sock needs, designer collections — like the VK Nagrani men’s designer socks collection—will have something for you. The selection of dress socks and casual socks available will blow your mind. Designers are doing their best to turn the page of men’s fashion and socks. So, the next time you want to buy a fantastic pair of socks, take a look at the options you have with men’s designer socks.

We have lost another Brilliant mind, RUNWAY will miss you Basil. – Vincent Midnight EIC RUNWAY

EIRUT: Basil Soda, credited as one of Lebanon’s best-known international fashion designers, has died, his company said.

His death was announced late on Monday on the social media pages of his fashion house, which described him as a “great international designer… who built his company single-handedly from the group up.”

“A great man, who will always be remembered for his craft and beautiful soul.”

Lebanese media said Soda had died aged 47 after suffering from cancer, without providing further details.

Soda began his fashion career in 2000, and was based in Beirut.

His work drew inspiration from architecture and he said his clothes were intended to juxtapose two extremes “strength and fragility… playing on the duality of a woman.”

His clothes were often seen on the red carpet, and were worn by actors, singers and television personalities from around the world.

Soda is one of a cohort of Lebanese designers who have achieved international reknown, including Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Reem Acra and Georges Hobeika.

Masters of Sex

Romantic songs, sappy love stories and cinematic fairytale endings.
All of these items are the juiciest ingredients of what forms our ideas
of love as children. And while swooning over the leading man in the
most recent Nicholas Spark’s movie may inspire you to find your own
“true love”, there is much more that goes into lasting romance than the
intention of happily ever after, or a well-written script.
If you break down the nitty-gritty, not so sexy, science-driven side
of love, you can see that our brain is the one responsible for those
butterflies, more so than our heart. Before you write me off as a cynical
anti-romantic, look at the facts. I myself love, love. Who doesn’t adore
the fluttering of the butterflies or an exhilarating first kiss? And although
so much mystery lies in the beginning of a relationship, what is most
interesting is how our bodies get past the feeling of ‘like’ to ‘infatuation’,
and eventually, to love.

I Love You with My Whole… Brain.
There are primarily three sections of our brain that help us to interpret affection, to recognize
reward and feel accepted. These include the hippocampus, the medial insula and the anterior
cingulate. Other parts of our brain that contribute to how we feel within a relationship include
the pituitary gland, which regulates our hormones, the amygdala which moderates our fear
and stress levels, and the hypothalamus that produces the happy chemicals that make it
possible to “fall in love”.

The Drug that is Love.
If we break down the chemicals released into
the body, we can see how the process works.
The hypothalamus releases dopamine, and
as dopamine increases, serotonin decreases.
Which is why being “lovesick” causes loss of
appetite, improved mood or feelings of obsessive
infatuation. The body also produces a substance
known as NGF, or Nerve Growth Factor. The
higher the amount of NGF, the more intense your
feelings will be at the onset, and throughout, your
relationship. As couples move from the stages of
puppy love into a deeper connection, the oxytocin
and vasopressin take over. Stored in the pituitary
gland, these hormones, when present together in
high amounts, have been proven to contribute to
the success of long-term relationships.
Too Much of a Good Thing.

The intense feelings of falling in love is usually
short-lived. Rarely lasting longer than a year, most
people’s brains cannot sustain this euphoric feeling
because one’s brain can become overloaded in
this blissful state. As silly as that sounds, it is quite
easy to explain. When we are falling in love, activity in our frontal cortex decreases, making
us not as sharp to make wise decisions. The amygdala also shuts down when you’re head
over heels, masking your fear. This explains why couples are more adventurous when trying
to impress their new partner, doing things they normally wouldn’t do, or making decisions
they normally wouldn’t make. Las Vegas impulse weddings are the first thing that comes to
mind, followed by first dates that include daredevil activities such as skydiving or tattooing
your significant others name to various body parts. It is in the brain’s best interest not to
remain in this state for too long, if only for self-preservation.
Love at First Sight… Fact or Fiction?

In a study conducted by Dr. Helen Fisher, PhD, only 11% of couples polled said they had
found love at first sight. With the rush of chemicals, and high levels of brain activity, it
is possible to see why couples would feel as if it was instantaneous, soul-mate level love.
Especially if their relationship started out during an exciting event or time in their lives, as an
adrenaline rush can create a bond between people. And although I am not ruling out that
magical, cosmic possibility, it’s best advised that couples take the time to really get to know
one another, to bond over similarities in life goals, their character traits and their priorities,
more so than basing their relationship future solely on fleeting chemical reactions.

The soon to open Shanghai Disneyland theme park and resort is to set to get an adjacent luxury shopping complex.

The Shanghai Shendi Group announced a venture with luxury outlet chain Value Retail this week, Want China Times reports.

‘Shanghai Village’ will be located next to Shanghai Disneyland, which is set to open its doors at the end of 2015. The company also operates a similar property next to Disneyland Paris. A rendering of the Shanghai outlet center is below:

Shanghai Disneyland and Luxury Shopping Complex Opening In 2015

Located in the city’s Pudong district, the outlet will benefit from the transport links connecting the metropolis to the resort, and will aim to attract luxury bargain hunters.

The 50,000 square meter site will stock a variety of luxury Asian and International lifestyle brands with collections selling at discounted prices. The shopping complex is going to be “the most important tourism outlet shopping location in Asia” as Scott Malkin, the Chairman of Value Retail said.

Value Retail’s existing ‘Chic Outlet Shopping’ concept villages in Europe include boutiques from designer labels such as Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Dior, Gucci and Prada, among others.

The shopping complex will be the second Chinese outlet for the chain, which is planning to open its inaugural Asian site, Suzhou Village, in May 2014.

The Shanghai Disney Resort will feature a Magic Kingdom theme park and two themed hotels when it opens next year. But there’s more to it as well; the Treasure Cove, a themed land that will include a “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride designed specifically for Chinese guests. Concept rendering below:

“With Shanghai Disneyland, we’re creating a one-of-a-kind destination that is authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese,” stated Robert A. Iger, The Walt Disney Company, chairman and chief executive officer. “We believe this will be one of the most spectacular Disney experiences yet – and an important part of our future. We look forward to opening the gates at the end of 2015 and welcoming the first of the millions of guests who will enjoy Shanghai Disneyland for generations to come.”

The images (model and concept) illustrates a portion of Shanghai Disneyland, and provides a first look at a beautiful, 11-acre green space at the center of the park, and a closer look at the unique design and scale of Enchanted Storybook Castle, the iconic central attraction of the theme park. On opening day Shanghai Disney Resort will include Shanghai Disneyland, two themed hotels, a 46,000-square-meter (495,000 square feet) gross floor area retail, dining and entertainment venue, recreational facilities, a lake and associated parking and transportation hubs.

It’s April Fools’ Day… the one day of the year celebrities get to turn the tables on entertainment outlets. (You know, the other 364 days of the year is free game for somemembers of the media to make up stories about the stars.)

A few celebs have had fun coming up with fake headlines — some more believable than others. Here are a few of the buzziest:

Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs Are Engaged

T-Pain had jaws dropping with this one. During an interview with Vulture, the rapper claimedR.Pattz had popped the question to FKA twigs.

“Well, the first time we even met each other, we met in the studio,” he said when asked if FKA twigs would be on his upcoming album. “Her music’s changed a lot since then. But she’s on tour so much, and anytime I call her, she’s in a different place. And she’s engaged now, so that’s about to be a whole other thing.” When asked if the two were set to tie the knot, he replied, “Yeah [she’s engaged], to ol’ Patty [Robert Pattinson]. I don’t know if she wanted anybody to know that …”

Just kidding! Perhaps after hearing the sound of girls’ hearts breaking everywhere — or getting an angry call from ol’ Patty — he went to Instagram and captioned the above photo: “Added a little #AprilFools to my interview with Vulture Magazine today. Check it out!!!!”

Though it would have been a pretty good prank due to the sheer randomness that it would be T-Pain to spill the engagement news, People is now reporting that Pattinson and FKA twigs are indeed planing to get hitched. Stay tuned…

We’re inclined to believe the pop star just threw on a wig or used a great Photoshop app… but the “Roar” singer does love to switch things up. TBD on this one.

Ha ha? This seems pretty elaborate for news many could take or leave. Regardless, a few folks on social media weren’t fans of the gag:
