Being a dedicated bargain finder, I find great fashion inspiration on all walks of the web - even political campaign attack video responses. In case you are unaware of the happenings over the last few days, McCain seriously ticked off the Hilton family by releasing an television advertisement attacking Obama - degrading him to the label of "celebrity" - while showing images of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. The Hilton family had good reason to be pissed off since the family has donated close to $60,000 to McCain and a Republican party senate fund over the past few years, according to Gawker.
A cheesy video response from Paris Hilton was later released on Funny or Die. Despite the somewhat-funny script that Paris was reading from, I was mostly just focused on her gorgeous leopard "monokini", or one-piece bathing suit. I don't know how much she bought hers for, but I found some Paris Hilton Response Video-inspired leopard one-pieces online. Now THATS HOT!

MAC Junkies on a Budget: Cheap MAC Makeup Alternatives
I have been desperately trying to find some cosmetic brands that have funky highly pigmented eyeshadow shades similar to MAC or NARS. After reading on a few forums that NYX is a cheap alternative, I hit the drug stores to check it out. Although I didn't find any NYX eyeshadows, I found something just as good if not better. It's called Jesse's Girl Eye Dust (available at Rite Aid Drug Stores or jessesgirlcosmetics. Their pigments are generally pastel colors and they aren't just pretty in the bottle, they come out gorgeous on your skin too. It really is high-intensity color. At only $3.99 a pop, I bought 6 of them and layered and blended to create a mermaid-like look just for fun. It came out looking great. I will definitely go back and buy some more!
