PARIS - BEFORE anyone gets the wrong idea, Ines de la Fressange would like to point out that you cannot just spend your way into becoming a Parisian.

'I do think it's a state of mind,' says the original French supermodel turned designer and fashion consultant - and, more recently, and much to her surprise, best-selling style book author.

'There are people who want to buy a lot. I'm the one saying, 'Don't buy a lot - buy the good things'.'

Since it came out in France last fall, La Parisienne has sold well over 100,000 copies, entertaining readers with its chummy, cheery prose and prompting an English version - Parisian Chic - for an Anglo-Saxon market crowded with finger-wagging what-not-to-wear guides.

'I didn't write it to be a best-seller,' said De La Fressange, 53, who last October reappeared on the pret-a-porter runway for Chanel, where she attained iconic status as Karl Lagerfeld's androgynous muse in the 1980s.

'French women generally say they're not really interested in fashion, so when I was told that it had sold more than Harry Potter or Keith Richard's autobiography... it certainly was a surprise.' -- AFP

Beauty Tips: How to Get Smoky Eyes

We consulted Peter Phillips, creative director for Chanel Makeup, to give us tips on how to get Keira Knightley's sexy eyes.



1 - Pick a multitonal eye-shadow palette, like the one at left. Prime your lid by patting on regular foundation — it'll form a base for your makeup to stick to.




2 - Dip the tip of a dampened makeup brush into the darkest shadow, and draw a line across your upper and lower lash lines.




3 - Before the shadow dries, look up and blink—this marks a line on your skin in the creases, which you'll want to fill up to with your contouring, medium shadow.



4- Rub the softest color in your palette above the creases and up to the brow bones to highlight.



5- Sweep the light, pearly shadow around the corners of your eyes to make them seem larger (you can even dust a little under your lower lashes to offset dark circles).



6- Trace on one last layer of the darkest color as liner, and smudge it with your finger or a cotton swab for a blurred effect.





7- For extra oomph, curl your lashes, and coat on the deepest, darkest mascara you can find.

Beauty Tips: Cleaning Makeup Brushes

Q: How often should I clean my makeup brushes? And is it okay to use regular hand soap?

A: Wash them once a month, but upgrade your suds, says Ranella Hirsch, clinical assistant professor at Boston University School of Medicine. The detergents in hand soap are harsh and can strip the brushes. Instead, use a drop of baby shampoo to create a little lather, then rinse and air-dry.

Is The Joker Car From The New Batman Movie...A Truck?

Our gadget-obsessed brothers snagged some pics of a vehicle a tipster snapped shots of at a filming location for the new Batman movie. The boys at the Giz believe it's the vehicle for Joker from the new movie. We're not so sure and although it's certainly bigger than the new ride for Batman kind of feel like it could be one of the "secondary" vehicles. We're still hoping for a purple 1950's Plymouth ourselves.

Can't wait for the Giugiaro Mustang? Here's another Italian thoroughbred

First, let's get a few things straight. The U69 is an American muscle car modified by an Italian tuner and vehicle importer that goes by the name UK Garage and is based in Milan.

Under the hood, this tuned pony car packs a supercharged version of Ford's quadcam 4.6L V8 that develops 490hp and is mated to a five speed manual gearbox. Top speed is a claimed 174mph, while the 0-62mph is done in just 4.3 seconds. If all this seems too much, a less powerful naturally aspirated version with 330hp is also available, as is an automatic transmission, but the less powerful motor reduces 0-62mph times to 5.4s. The car also comes with an Eibach lowering kit and a Borla Superflow exhaust.

Interested buyers will have to scrounge up the equivalent of $74,000 for the Italian Mustang, and then make the tough decision of what color to pick from a choice of either yellow, red, white, orange, or silver.
