Amber Rose went from blue contacts to blue lipstick. She rocked bold blue lips in Atlanta as she made a few nightclub appearances. She's getting to be quite the celeb. Now I've spotted some bright pink and orange lips recently, but not blue. Maybe its that new new for the Winter.

Picture turkey stuffed bargain hunters lining up outside Old Navy at 5 a.m., their skin flushed in anticipation of the rabid consumerism in which they're about to engage. Friends, November 27, 2009 a.k.a the Day After Thanksgiving a.k.a. Black Friday is upon us. The day when otherwise sane human beings turn into vicious retail predators. And one can understand why with savings of up to 70 percent on goods from department and chain stores like Sears, Macy's, Target and Best Buy. Malls such as the Beverly Center, the Citadel, the Grove and Third Street Promenade will no doubt be pure insanity. There are also some small, independent boutiques that are holding Black Friday sales this year, like Runway Boutique.

While some parts of LA will be a mad house, there is no Black Friday in Beverly Hills. Although plan to see some luxury brands with some small type of discount. However, you can save on your next face lift. Beverly Hills surgeon, Dr. Simoni, is having his first ever Black Friday Sales Event for Plastic Surgery. Oh, yes! Save 20 to 50% off on most injectables, cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery procedures. That's so LA!

Happy shopping! Or hiding. Whichever you prefer. I may swing over to the Beverly Center just to see the Hunky Santa and aerialist show. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Runway Boutique 807 S. La Brea - Los Angeles 9am - 9pm Enjoy 40% off selected merchandise, buy 1 bangle or necklace and get the second one 1/2 off, plus other diva deals.

Hollywood & Highland Center 6801 Hollywood Blvd. - Los Angeles 9am - 10pm some store hours vary

The Beverly Center 8500 Beverly Blvd. - Los Angeles 8am - 10pm

Keep It C.C. This Thanksgiving

Still clueless about what to wear tomorrow? Keep it C.C. - CUTE and COMFY.

No matter what your Thanksgiving plans include, maybe you are cooking for the family, maybe you are vising the future in-laws, or maybe you are heading over to hang with friends for some turkey and football, you should be cute and comfy. You might want to think about what you'll being doing after the festivities, maybe you'll head out to a movie or play, maybe you'll lounge and catch up on the family gossip, or maybe you're going straight home to prepare for Black Friday, whatever the case cute and comfy does the trick.

Here's some ideas.

Dress up: The easiest thing to wear for Thanksgiving day (in my expert opinion) is a dress; either in a neutral or eye popping color. There's plenty of room i.e. you will be super comfortable. Now if you are not going to be enjoying 70 degree weather, jazz it up with patterned black tights or cover up with a matching cardigan!

Jeans and a top: To go casual you might want dark jeans with a nice top and cute black booties or a cute sweater cardigan and leggings with cute ballet flats. Comfy even if you have to open the top button after eating! Slip on a knit scarf for a little extra fancy.

Semi-dressy: A sequined tunic with black slacks or leggings. Roomy and almost like PJs.

Now, I'm a jeans and heels kind of girl. So yours truly, will be going casual. There will be lots of rug-rats in my Thanksgiving plans, so hopefully I've make it without any little hands and fingerprints. No matter what you decide (or haven't decided on) remember to keep it C.C.

The 2009 American Music Awards were held last night at the Nokia Theater LA Live in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, not many stars walked the red carpet. Singer Rihanna was one of the last one to arrive in the this Marchesa floral stencil number. I personally think its one of those of dresses that only looks good at a certain angle. But you be the judge!
