Christmas is over! What do you do with your TREE?

In London alone, it is estimated that 976, 000 Christmas trees will simply be thrown away.

Not in 2011, they won't!!!

The Christmas Tree Project, by Fabien Cappello, will see that Christmas trees from across London will be collected & reincarnated into stools.

"The gallery is inviting people to arrange an early January collection of their tree and place their order for a pretty handcrafted Christmas Tree Stool by rising designer Fabien Cappello."

A percentage of profit from the Christmas Tree Project will be donated to the Woodland Trust.

The Libby Sellers Gallery is taking orders until January 6th.

DAMSEL in DISTRESS in a DRESS

Ohhh! How I wish I was in New York right now!

I have a strange obsession with all things MARVEL so as I was flipping through my new Vogue, I instantly fell head-over-heels in love with this editorial.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz went behind the scenes of the new Broadway musical "SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK" to shoot this fashion editorial for Vogue's December issue.

What's more exciting? Spider-Man in his spandex outfit or his villain's masks?

Or how about Mary Jane's extravagant wardrobe, ranging from ALEXANDER McQUEEN chiffon to MARCHESA hand-painted crinoline to DIOR HAUTE COUTURE organza???

I'm gonna choose the latter of the two! *sigh*

CAPTIVE AUDIENCE

Mary Jane, in an Alexander McQueen silk chiffon bustier dress, falls into the clutches

of the Green Goblin. Will Spider-Man save the day?

DAMSEL IN DISTRESS

Mary Jane fends off the multibladed Swiss Miss

in a Marchesa organza ball gown.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

The ill-intentioned Carnage goes after Mary Jane,

in a Marchesa hand painted crinoline ball gown.

WEB OF DESIRE

The star-crossed Peter and Mary Jane,

wrapped in a Dior Haute Couture hand-painted satin organze dress.

SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK

is a Broadway musical, directed by Julie Taymor with music and lyrics by Bono and the Edge.

If you live under a rock OR are too girly-girl for comic books & superhero movies, then here is a quick description from WWW.BROADWAY.COM

;D

Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton CHRISTMAS TREE?

The 15th edition of LES SAPINS DE NOEL DES CREATEURS (Translation: Operation Christmas Tree Creators) was held on December 1st at the Espace Vendome in Paris.

"Les Sapins de Noel des Createurs" , initiated by Marie-Christiane Marek, uses the biggest names in fashion, design and architecture to create unique art representing Christmas trees to be sold at auction with proceeds benefiting a child-focused charity. This year, like last year, the proceeds will be donated to the Carla Bruni-Sarkozy foundation and allocated for L'enfant a l'hopital."
