The Many-Splendored Hair Styles of Whitney Port

Whitney Port of The City fame is always rocking the hottest fashions, but I think that her gorgeous hair is perhaps her greatest accessory. I can't tell you how to get her look, because the most I can manage to do with my own hair is blow drying it straight (ok, I can do the messy bun too, but that's not exactly a hair style). However, I have taken the liberty of putting together this slideshow of Whitney's many hairdos. Watch it, take notes, and maybe together we'll learn a thing or two about how to be more creative with those tresses. After all, experimenting with a new hairstyle is 100% free. Enjoy!

P.S. Watch full length episode videos of The City for free at MTV.com. Yeah, it's kind of addicting.

From High to Low: Python Purses

Here's a little game to help you get past hump day: One of the six python handbags pictured below costs $6,550, while one costs just $25. Now I know that PVC is a far cry from python (although I think it's a much more humane alternative), and I know it's tough to judge the quality of these handbags from tiny thumbnail-sized images on your computer screen, but humor me and play along—unless you'd rather be working? Thought so. Scroll down and see if you can rank these 6 purses from the most expensive to the least expensive. Answers after the jump.
