Although Rocelyn Sanchez’s recent I’d Rather Go Naked poster is grand - this time it’s not PETA getting women naked, it’s Marc Jacobs.

He’s gathered Carolyn Murphy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Selma Blair. The gorgeous sixsome have agreed bare down and pose for photographer Brian Bowen Smith.

The shots will run on T-shirts to raise awareness of skin cancer risk, they’ll be auctioned at Jacobs’ Sept aftershow party.

"Every single person I asked said yes, except for Hilary Swank," said Marc Jacobs’ CEO Robert Duffy. "But I am still working on trying to convince her. I refuse to give up." [via Vogue (U.K.)]

With her doe eyes and baby-doll look, Gemma Ward has been dubbed the "Australian Doll" and inspired a new craze in fashion.

Ward is the youngest model chosen to be in a Vogue shoot of nine "It Girls" in the modeling world, which also included Daria Werbowy, Gisele Bündchen and Karolína Kurková.

She certainly makes our IT List.

Pucker up! without the pain. The IT thing for lips has to be Lip Fusion XLâ„¢. I was recently at a naughty themed wedding shower when I discovered what goes with the perfect next to nothing outfit? The perfect pout of course! The challenge is to actually find it in stock.

It’s selling off the shelves at both Sephora and Holt Renfrew. This is the latest addition in Fusion Beauty’s line of Topical-Injectablesâ„¢. Lip Fusion XL is a non-injectable lip volumizer that combines 2x the pure active collagen of Lip Fusion’s original lip plumpers with hyaluronic acid (HA), in one high-performance formula.

I’ve now seen it in action (can you say pretty bee sting?) and can’t wait to try it first hand, as soon as I can find some! Lip Fusion XL is also a 2006 CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women*) Award winner. *Over 4,000 women working in the beauty industry) vote for the best products in beauty.

Love her or leave her, but Paris Hilton fascinates me in a glam’ trainwreck kind of way (a.k.a. not in the way of Anna Nicole Smith or Tara Reid). So bare with me as I share that I love to dawn my Tiara Misu Tiara and vacuum with the lastest Paris Hilton track on my Nano: Stars are Blind

It’s pathetically boppy, catchy, and cheesy. Enjoy!
The full CD gets released August 22. For a sneak peak of the Stars are Blind video (see & hear it): www.myspace.com/parishilton
