Ancient Baths (Tribeca) - Immaculate Spanish baths luxuriating across three cast iron floors.

With the political aspirations put behind, The Donald is back to what he does best: erecting dazzling, monumental, skyward towers. His debut Canadian hotel will soon be unveiled, and one of its centerpieces is this glorious new 15,000 square foot Quartz Crystal Spa.

It’s been, oh, just about 1800 years since the eponymous Roman emperor built his great public folly, the Baths of Caracalla. And while the hygienic advances of the 21st Century are certainly most welcome, there’s something just a little too sterile about modern spa culture. The appropriately monikered Archimedes Banya, however, goes a long way to tapping back into all that old classical world decadence.

Now that Jil Sander creative director Raf Simons is in talks to become the new head designer at Dior, we can officially lay to rest the possibility of Marc Jacobs taking over for the headless house. Although designing for an haute couture legend would have been a first for Jacobs, he's said before that he's "very happy" working at Louis Vuitton—so much so that he plans on making 2012 the French fashion house's best year ever, starting with three major projects. 

Brazil has given us many things in the beauty arena: Brazilian Waxes, Brazilian Blowouts, and amazing natural hair-extensions. These hair extensions are so lovely and valuable that, in the country’s largest city Sao Paulo, gangs have taken to stealing these hair pieces from beauty salons. You may be asking yourself: are hair extensions really worth stealing? Do a quick Google search for said extensions and the resulting cornucopia of results will prove they are. Here in the States, Virgin Brazilian Hair Extensions range from $75-$200 a piece.

This is Riley. She would like you to know that you shouldn’t feel pressured to purchase toys based on your gender, or gift others strictly on their sex. You see, she’s fighting for gender fluidity in the name of Toys ‘R Us. She doesn’t exactly say it in those words, but you get the point. Riley is more succinct, pointing out that “some girls like superheroes, some girls like princesses, and some boys like superheroes, and some boys like princesses.”

She may be the face of YSL’s signature perfume, Opium, but Emily Blunt isn’t exactly sure why. When the Telegraph UK asked the insecure star of The Devil Wears Prada why her the label tapped her as its face, Blunt’s answer was. “I've no idea. There was no one else?” She continued: “They made a mistake, a terrible mistake.” But mistake or not, Blunt recently made her debut in a commercial for the brand, which features a Mexican standoff between Blunt and a leopard who stands between her and her Opium. 

Could the days of excessive airbrushing in beauty ads be coming to an end, all because of Taylor Swift? Here’s the skinny: Business Insider reveals The National Advertising Division (NAD) (which is part of the Council of Better Business, a watchdog group who imposes self-regulation on the advertising industry) has taken a stand against Covergirl’s ad for their NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara. As there is nothing natural about Taylor Swift’s appearance in the ad. While the mascara promises “2X more volume,” it looks like Swift’s voluminous lashes are the work of computer magic.

Business deals aren’t going down during power lunches or cocktail hours anymore. That’s so pre-recession. Today, they’re often taking place at the gym. The New York Times uncovered this new multi-tasking trend, and called it sweatworking (That’s networking while sweating, by the way).

The most enduring relationship of Jennifer Aniston’s career would be the one with her hairstylist, Chris McMillan. He’s the one responsible for the famous Rachel haircut that had women in the late nineties bobbing and weaving their hair to look like that of a TV character. In the upcoming issue of Allure, McMillan dishes on their special bond and his famous client's follicle secrets. McMillian calls Aniston’s current hair era the Lob (Long Bob) or the Growb (Growing Out Bob), just so you know what to tell your hairstylist.
