The very funny Kate Walsh recently appeared on Ellen’s show to discuss her appearance on the hit show, Private Practice, as well as her new fragrance. Ellen teased Kate about how often she’s naked on the show, including the clip shown to Ellen’s audience before Kate appeared.

Kate agreed that she’s naked a lot as well as being naked with the smokin hot Taye Diggs who plays her current love interest.

Ellen said “there’s a lot of nakedity” on the show and then wondered if “nakedity is even a real word?” Ellen decided “it doesn’t really matter though since the fans love to see the steamy love scenes.”

Lots Of Love Scenes With Taye Diggs

When discussing her many naked love scenes with Taye Kate said “that’s a terrible, terrible way to make a living.” Ellen teased her about having to do those steamy nude scenes all the time.

Kate said “I know, it’s a little strange. I often say when I disrobe, I tell the crew ‘what you’re about to see will blow your mind.’ Cause there’s no way. How can you compete with Taye Diggs? He’s in ridiculous shape. I’ve often said to him ‘so what do you do to work out? Like as if somehow I’m going to emulate his workout and be the female equivalent (of Taye) or whatever”.

Taye’s Workout Plan

Ellen quizzed Kate “what does he do? Does he work out like crazy?” Kate “I don’t know. It just happens. He just looks great, smells great and is a fabulous person.” Ellen agreed “he is, he’s a sweet guy.”

She asked Kate “now does that put pressure on you. Do you always worry about that (getting naked and being compared to Taye’s body)…you don’t worry about that?” Continue reading “Kate Walsh Eats Chips And Chocolate To Deal With Taye Diggs’ Great Body” »

According to an article in Tuesday’s WWD by Michelle Edgar, fine fragrances from top notch established perfume brands may find going green with their brands a lot more challenging than other hair and beauty related products.

Why?  Going 100% organic will greatly limit the availability of many current ingredients utilized by perfume brands.

Although fragrance manufacturers are receiving requests for water based non-alcoholic fragrance, the reality is that water based scents contain a low fragrance level and thus are not as strong or as long lasting as traditional perfume oil bases.

While many of the key players in the fine fragrance industry are dedicated to finding viable solutions for the creation of viable organic perfumes, it may be awhile before offerings are made available that meet the needs of consumers.  In fact, there is some question whether fragrance consumers would be ultimately happy with green perfumes.  This is an ongoing debate.

In the meantime….if you want to investigate organic or green fragrance offerings consider the following brand available at most large health food stores or online:

Aubrey Organics

The award winning company offers a variety of scents for both men and women that range from everyday light scents to more sophisticated evening scents.  The Aubrey fragrances have been certified as 95% organic.  In addition, the Aubrey fragrances are free of synthetic aldehydes and petrochemicals.  They can be tolerated by those with perfume sensisitives or allergies.

While I’m sure there are other great organic fragrances out there, I can’t personally recommend them at this time but I can recommend Aubrey.  I have been using their products for years.

If you know some great options….please let me know.

While some of the world’s most fashion forward minds may already be living in Fall 2008, the rest of us are content to reside in June soaking up the summer rays.
