>> Before heading back to the States from Venice, a number of Chanel Cruise attendees - and show strutters like Toni Garrn and Siri Tollerod - made a stop over in Vienna for the annual Life Ball AIDS charity spectacular Saturday evening. The town hall was surrounded by 2.5 million liters of water trucked in for this year's marine theme, and the guest list topped 40,000.

Amber Valletta opened the motorcade in a blue crystal-covered chariot, Anja Rubik was in attendance wearing her favorite label as of late, Balmain, and Sessilee Lopez sported a blonde wig for one of her turns during the catwalk festivities. Heather Marks, Iris Strubegger, Emina Cunmulaj, Eliza Cummings, Kinga Rajzak, Sara Blomqvist all also participated, plus first-timer Stephanie Carta, who described the experience as "a fantasy world of glitter and botox and some kind of neverending celebration."

Stylista: Always Classy

>> Tears, catfights, and body image issues: Stylista is shaping up to be everything a Tyra Banks-produced show should be. Another extended clip has dropped of the Elle-backed reality show; Put that together with the first three clips, and the classiest thing they have going between them is the comment, "You suddenly have your own Jackson Pollock" — and that's in reference to dog excrement. I'll let you see the rest of the mess for yourself.

Also, just as a sidenote: Maggie Rizer makes an appearance during the season — does she have a special agreement going with Joe Zee? She attended a lot of the New York shows with him a couple of seasons ago to blog for Elle, and now she's appearing in their TV show . . .
