LUXE GAL: Celebrate Cinco de Mayo In Style!
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo on May 5, here are some ways to get in the spirit!
To make the perfect margarita, use three essential ingredients: Cointreau, tequila and lime juice! As the creator of the margarita, Margarita Sames always said, “A margarita without Cointreau is not worth its salt!” Cointreau’s orange zest delivers a rich sweetness to the margarita, without compromising its bitter and salty taste.
LUXE GAL: FIT’S “Judging Day” Favorite Looks!
Every spring, the Fashion Design students at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) toil away in their last semester, creating two garments with the hope that their creations will be selected for FIT’s annual “The Future of Fashion” runway show, which happens annually at the university’s New York City campus.
We received a very special invitation to witness “Judging Day,” where industry experts select the outfits that will make that potentially life-changing runway show.
While we weren’t there to judge – that daunting tasks went to the likes of Elle creative director and All On the Line star Joe Zee, fashion blogger/America’s Next Top Model alum Bryanboy and four other judges — we did select our top looks.
LUXE GAL: The Face Winner Exclusive–More Face Babies & Yes, There’s A Season Two!
Devyn Abdullah won the premiere season of The Face, which makes her pretty Diva-licious! Luxe Gal chatted with the 21-year-old Bronx, NY, native and mom to find out what it was like being mentored by model royalty Karolina Kurkova, how she won the show and some major scoop on two of her fellow models. And yes, Oxygen has confirmed that the series will be back for season two with ten new episodes!
LUXE GAL: Kristin Chenoweth’s Secret TV Desire!
In the new dark comedy film Family Weekend, Kristin Chenoweth and Olesya Rulin play mother and daughter, and Olesya’s character Emily takes her mom and dad, played by the eternally adorable Matthew Modine, hostage for a forced intervention after they miss her jump rope competition.
We asked the star about her own family and hobbies, and learned a little secret about our fave gal Kristin!
The Bible Experience: Who Was There?
Last week The DivaGals attended the VIP preview of “The Bible Experience” and ran into husband and wife producing team Roma Downey and Mark Burnett. He must be married to an angel to make all those reality show hits!
The lovely couple had some famous friends in attendance, including Roma’s former Touched by an Angel co-star Della Reese, 80s super-model turned entrepreneur Carol Alt, Kristin Chenoweth, Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas and High School Musical‘s Monique Coleman. Visit us on Facebook for more pictures.
Just in case you missed Palm Sunday, there is still an opportunity to celebrate the Easter season. Visit “The Bible Experience” pop-up museum in New York City. You will have a chance to see rare biblical artifacts and production photographs, all in celebration of the History Channel’s hit mini series. Previously at the Vatican, “these one-of-a-kind rare artifacts will be on display exclusively” for the first time ever in the Big Apple.
Catch “The Bible Experience” at 450 West 14th St. through March 27, 2013. Admission is free.
The Bible mini series finale airs this Sunday, March 31 at 8 p.m. Check your local listings.
The Bible is available on Blu-ray, DVD and DHD on April 2.

STYLE DIVAS: Kim Coles’ New Natural ‘Do — And New Man?
Kim Coles, who rocked braids since her Living Single days, has taken her natural to a new level. The actress/comedienne and natural hair enthusiast hosted the MIZANI 2013 Hair Trend Collection “The Spoken Word,” at the L’Oreal Soho Academy last week rocking a majorly fierce ‘fro.
After years of maintaining her braided extensions, which she would freshen in sections on a weekly basis, Kim finally decided to let her natural do what it wanted to do, and is loving the results. Her hair is like her one-woman performances. “I’m a conceptual person, not a scriptwriter,” Kim announced. We love the results – in both areas. And so did a very tall, handsome gentleman who was near Kim’s side all evening!

LUXE GAL: 25 Years for the New York Women’s Foundation
This year, think about becoming more charitable. The New York Women’s Foundation, which champions human and social issues for women and girls, recently celebrated 25 years of helping women with a dinner buffet, dessert reception and awards ceremony.
LUXE GAL: Aisha Tyler’s Holiday Cooking!
Last week the DivaGals attended the annual CBS Holiday Party. Between sips of Prosecco and yummy coconut shrimp, we chatted with a few ladies of The Talk. Did you ever wonder if any of these ladies can cook? Aisha Tyler can; in fact, she and her husband love to entertain!
This Christmas Aisha will be preparing string bean casserole in a crust from scratch. Yum! Another holiday specialty is savory Moroccan yams.
