The annual swimsuit edition of Cleo may have lost its clad girls wearing bikinis everywhere but their ACP title is never to lose its place on the mag and newsstands.

A few hours before the party of the magazine Miami Nights kicked off at one of the penthouse apartments in Darlinghurst last night, Sarah Oakes, the editor of the magazine Cleo stated that she was getting sick and tired of the many rumors floating around about the magazine facing the chopping blocks.

The rumors, according to Oakes are really outrageous. “We are seeing some good results in the last two months” said Oakes.

The touch economic climate and the falling circulation have prompted the talks about the merging titles as well as the possible closure of some magazines at the ACP by the end of this year.

Following the cuts at the events and publicity department of the ACP, it has been said that the Cosmopolitan and Cleo are rumored to be under scrutiny.

Guest list, a smaller venue and the absence of their bikini models for the swimsuit party held by Cleo this year set off the alarms that there were other plans for the magazine but still Oakes stated there wasn’t really any cost-cutting strategy in the extravaganza last night.

Foundation, concealers and tinted moisturizers are no longer just for the ladies. Male makeup products are readily available now too. Male makeup lines may be missing glittery mascaras, purple eyeliners and pink lipsticks. But, they are certainly filled with tanning lotions, lip balms and so much more. This is a new age for men and it’s not only the ladies who get to spend hours primping each morning – they can do that too.

It’s no secret that actors, rock stars and stage performers constantly use make up. Obviously, the band members of KISS weren’t born with black and white faces. Nor were punk rockers naturally gifted with dark lids and long lashes. Even male news anchors don’t look as matte and as perfect under the hot studio lights if they didn’t have the right foundation on. No, these men have long embraced the power of make up.

Some might think that only drugstore makeup brands carry make up for men. Well – they’re wrong. The latest line of Male makeup comes from one of the most revered fashion and beauty houses today – Yves Saint Laurent. To start, YSL Concealers made for men called ‘Touche Eclat’ will be hitting the stores this weekend and YSL is very optimistic. They believe that the product line will be widely accepted – not only by celebrity stylists but by regular Joes as well.

When Daniel Craig a.k.a James Bond announced that he would never again wear a similar swimwear to the one he wore in Casino Royale – women all over the world said ‘Aw, too bad’.

Well, James Bond’s hot shorts may no longer be up for viewing.

However, it does not mean that the super sleuth’s choice of beachwear was not resonated in beaches and the world over.

Here a few swimwear trends for men in 2008 and 2009, and yes, they do include Bond’s clingy suit.

Square Leg Shorts – James Bond wore Square leg shorts in Casino Royale. This trend is sweeping beaches everywhere. It is the most popular men’s swimwear trend for 2007 and 2008.

It may even still be big in the years ahead. Square leg shorts are a great swimsuits for men, especially those who hate too-too-tight swim trunks. This type of swimwear is perfect.

It gives the right coverage without affecting modesty, mobility and tanning capability.

Prints and Bold Lines – Aside from the Square Leg Swimsuit, men should also look for items with graphical prints and bold lines. Men should not be afraid of color.

Light ones like pale blues and pale greens are always good. But then again, men could also go for the staple blacks and navys.
