Yesterday, while we were humming and hawing over whether or not to wear cement-coloured polish, the Tokyo Nail Expo was showing off mind-blowingly intricate nail design–3D Hello Kitty, lace, diamonds, giant rosettes and what appears to be She-Ra. The annual nail extravaganza also includes the Japanese-celeb laden Nail Queen Awards, which appears to be a cross between a beauty pageant and the Contessas. [Zimbio]

So when I was asked to come by Davids on Bloor Street for an intimate little cocktail party to show off their Sex-themed windows, I could not pass it up. For the first time ever, Davids decided to unveil a window theme for their flagship store, with well-thought-out selections showing off the style of the four major females in the film (as well as the four leading men). Sponsored by Skyy Vodka, the low-key affair also showcased five yummy cocktails based on each of the women and one for Mr. Big, natch.
