Splendora Newsletter, November 4, 2005
| Five nights in NYC. Three cases of champagne. One dynamite party. Team Splendora hit the big city to host an affair for our East Coast editor friends and special VIPs. Lucky for us, all of the ladies got into the Splendora spirit and helped to fill out this week's Style Forecast. With goodie bags galore, bite-size cupcakes with sprinkles, and the special "Splendora Sling" cocktail, a good time was had by all. More photos coming soon on our Party Pix page! |

| COLD AS ICE CHLOE  Chloe Sevigny just might be our favorite offbeat actress. The flaxen-haired beauty plays hero to both hard-core fashion followers and artsy girls who embrace her eccentricities. While we applaud her ability to vacillate among different image extremes - strutting down the runway at Dolce & Gabbana one moment, engaging in unmentionable onscreen activities with V. Gallo the next - some of Chloe's recent remarks seem bizarre given her public persona. She of Brown Bunny fame recently berated Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger for their "lack of respect for the institution of marriage." While we here at Splendora are far from prudish, Chloe's comments disrupt our perception of her as a girl who normally flouts social convention. We liken it to (hypothetically) finding out that Paris Hilton actually harbors a dislike for fame, or that Jessica Simpson spends her evenings reading James Joyce for kicks. Quotable Chloe |

LOS ANGELES & SAN FRANCISCO
SPA DAY
The modern woman has mastered the art of multitasking, but we never thought it would be possible to contribute to charity and get a facial simultaneously. We happily welcome Spa Day on Wednesday, November 9th, when a host of participating spas in Los Angeles and San Francisco will donate 20% of the day's proceeds to Aid for AIDS. Book one spa treatment (or more!) and indulge in a truly pleasurable philanthropic experience. For more information, and for a list of participating locations, visit spaday.org.
