the B. spot

Hey B.spot,

Want a play by play of the winners of the 2009 CEW Beauty Awards?  Follow me, why don’t you follow me-eee to a place…(sorry, I’m in North Jersey and just had a classic club flashback- those of you in the area know what I’m talking about) but I digress.  I will be on location at the CEW Beauty Awards at the Waldorf Astoria updating B spotters on the winners as they are announced.

Friday, May 1st at 12pm

Listen B. spotters, the men have their fantasy football leagues and their pools on who is going to win the big game, right. Why not spice up the beauty pot and fill your pockets with a little cash by seeing who can pick the winners.  Now I’m not advocating gambling people so no angry emails or comments- I’m just saying that we are in a recession so be a little creative with your pocket change.  I’m just playing around- I wouldn’t dare sully my great industry with talk of gambling…or would I????

Anyhoo, here are the finalists up for the coveted honor of being voted the best by the best (women in beauty)!  My picks are in bold…

 Now, I can finish up my song…can you feel it-tttt, it’s in the air-airrr….
