Bye Bi, Rumors! Pink Says She's Bisexual
"SO WHAT SHE'S A ROCK STAR" and now Singer Pink, who has had an on-and-off relationship with motorcross star Carey Hart over the years but also has been linked to a girl or two, comes clean in a new interview about her bisexuality in a News of the World interview.
Pink tells the magazine directly (which is why we're writing this) that she's "not embarrassed about being bisexual, and that "love is pure and I try to keep it that way. This is who I am, what I feel."
The 'So What' songstress says that she's by no means just following a trend to "whip up the masses." She says that while it's probably "unnecessary to draw the subject out, but I think it even more stupid not to discuss it."
Pink then went on to say that she's an all-accepting lover.
"My love knows no colour, no gender, no fuss," she reportedly said.
Do-It-Yourself Handbags
Stitching Secrets to Making Your Own Handbags
Ok, so we've heard it over and over again - "We are in a recession" we get that. But recession or not many women would just die to get their hands on some of the bags created for the rich & famous. Now while I can't ever see myself justifying spending such money for a bag that costs as much as a down payment on a modest size house or a semester's tuition at a college, they're every woman's weakness, and the finest can cost a fortune. Handbags fit every woman, but not every woman's budget, so in this tight economy, some women are skipping the stores and making their own.
What goes into making some of the worlds most expensive purses in the world? And can anyone really create pricey looking purses for less?
If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to carry a really expensive purse, making your own may be for you. Instead of forking over big bucks, try sewing it yourself.
Hermes, a leader in luxury bags, recently decided to let even its most frugal fans pretend. On its Web site, Hermes.com, the company published what many consider to be the pinnacle of its work -- blueprints of its signature Kelly bag.
Anyone can download, cut out and create a paper origami version.
Do-it-yourself expert Michele Beschen enlarged the Hermes pattern, swapped the paper for leather and used stitches instead of glue in an attempt to make her own Kelly bag.
While most people on the street could tell the difference between homemade and Hermes, Michele's creation did impress Hermes' craftsman and staffers.
"This is wonderful. The proportions are good and it's hand stitched. I'm very surprised," 45-year-veteran Hermes craftsman Claude Gandrille said.

Elle magazine predicted these three styles will be "must haves" for this summer. Follow Michele's version of those handbags here:
TREND: DIP-DYE
TREND: WOVEN
TREND: GROMMET
INSIDE TIP: To skip the years-long waitlist and the expense, check out Avelle.com. The Web site offers the option of renting luxury items instead of purchasing them.
