For the first time in 55 years, Disneyland employees, er, cast members, will be allowed to sport beards under a revision of Disney’s stringent grooming policies. The new rule allows neatly trimmed beards no longer than 1/4 inch. (Mustaches have been allowed since 2000.) One would think this change would be considered a boost for workers’ rights. But the head of a union that represents about 4,000 Disney food and beverage workers doesn’t see it that way, telling the Orange County Register, ‘I see it as a way to lower their standards to keep wages down.’ [Los Angeles Times] [O.C.

(And I say thank goodness for first ladies such as Michelle Obama, Nancy Reagan and Jacqueline Kennedy for those of us who want to see some elegant clothes in the mix.) [Slate]
Alessandra Ambrosio modeled two outfits in the Colcci fall collection during Sao Paulo Fashion Week, strolling the runway even though she is five months pregnant. She stopped at the end of the runway to show off her baby bump. [Daily Mirror] [Fashionista] RELATED:
