Listen up, for the formerly homeless man with a golden voice, Ted Williams, is now in a series of Kraft cheese commercials.  Williams is doing voice-over work for Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese.

Lynna Galia, a spokeswoman for Kraft, told the Chicago Tribune that they were taken with Williams after seeing his YouTube video and hired him to work on four commercials.

“We were moved by his story and his amazing voice,” Galia said, adding that Williams’ voice is “perfectly suited” for the ad campaign. “We were in the middle of making our TV spots and in a unique position to help Ted use his great voice and also provide him employment.”

Play this video to hear Ted Williams voice in this Kraft commercial:

Ted is definitely the first internet star of 2011.  Homeless for four years, until discovered by a reporter from the Columbus Dispatch off Ohio’s I-71.  The reporter’s video was less than two minutes — and captivated the world as soon as it was uploaded online.  Click here to watch the original video and monitor Ted’s progress.

This is truly an amazing story — it’s so touching I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it.  From homeless man that people tried to ignore to superstar status in less than a week — just proves that you should always have faith and never give up because you never ever know what’s coming next.

Ted Williams, the man with a golden voice, is now a household name.   Move over Bieber, there’s a new internet sensation now.  Or hey, wait a minute, wouldn’t a Bieber and Williams collab be AMAZING??  Hey, at this point, ANYTHING can happen.

Congrats Ted!

"Stranger Change Her" pick Alice's reveal (Alice in blue) with friends and family, SSD Co Founder Crystal Fambrini, and KTLA Anchor Jessica Holmes at the KTLA Morning Show.

Alice of Glendora is a mother of two, a professional volunteer, an artist and VERY eager for a change as she was sick and tired of people thinking her kids were her grandkids! Can you blame her?  So, Style Seen Daily and KTLA joined forces to help Alice find a new look and gain the self-confidence she needed and deserved.

In one day we gave Alice a new wardrobe, a new hairstyle, and new makeup. But first, Alice had to stand in our “Stranger Change Her” at the Westside Pavillion mall for one hour while shoppers critiqued her look and told us what kind of looks would be best for her.

Watch Alice’s “before” here:

 

The launch of Stranger Change-Her was a huge success as Alice wowed her friends and family with an incredible new look and a great sense of confidence.

Watch Alice’s “after” here:

 

Alice’s outfit, a blue structured blouse, black pants, stylish heeled clogs, and beaded necklace were from Lane Bryant at Westside Pavillion.  Crystal also surprised Alice with a Michael Kors White jacket from Macy’s at Westside Pavilion.

We made sure to find Alice clothes that accentuated her positives and were more fitted than her usual painting tees and jeans. We also tried to get her out of her comfort zone of sneakers and drab colors, so the clogs and cobalt blue shirt were a perfect fit for her.

Her hair was colored and styled at the Gavert Atelier Salon in Beverly Hills. They took the critique of the mall shoppers who said she should stay blonde but go a shade darker. The cut and color are manageable and Alice told us that she loves it. She got her eyebrows shaped and make up done by Valerie from Valerie of Beverly Hills – all this shaved off years on her age!

Alice’s primary complaint of receiving comments that she looked like her kids’ grandmother, rather than Mom is now gone!

Her children Sarah, 14, and Jacob, 11, love their Mom’s new look. “She looks different… in a good way,” Jacob said about his newly stylish mother. Julie Henry, Alice’s girl scout troupe co-leader thought Alice’s reveal was fantastic.  ”She deserved it, she does so much for everybody else all the time, so its nice for her to have something for herself.”

All of Alice's friends, family, and girl scouts, were so surprised to see her new look, and they loved it. Photo Credit: SSD

In the end, Alice loved the experience and now knows how to shop for “the right things,” she said. She took the advice from the strangers like a champ and was able to turn herself from drab to fab.

Educated at Lubeck School in Paris, which boasts an impressive list of alumnae including former first lady Cécilia Sarkozy, Caroline Deroche of Givenchy, Mathilde Agostinelli of Prada, Victoire de Castellane of Dior, Vanessa Seward of Azzaro, and Camille Miceli of Louis Vuitton, its no surprise Alt will now go down in fashion history as one of the great ones and Vogue was so smart to promote her to what is perhaps the most coveted role in fashion editorial, globally.

Alt In Winter 2010 Fashion

Xavier Romatet, president of Condé Nast France, announced Alt’s new role at a press conference today in Paris.  February 1st will be her first day at her new desk. “Vogue Paris is performing strongly and I wish to entrust the editor-in-chief position to someone who will ensure a certain continuity, while bringing a new energy and dimension,” Xavier said, adding,  ”Emmanuelle has all the professional and personal qualities required to maintain Vogue Paris as a world reference among fashion magazines. Vogue Paris will remain the most important fashion, beauty and cultural magazine, working with the world’s greatest photographers and stylists, who Emmanuelle knows perfectly. I totally trust her to manage this prestigious brand and develop it in all its dimensions, including digital.”  Alt added, ”It’s a great honor for me, but also a great pleasure to be at the head of Vogue Paris, which I know very well, working with very talented teams, I will attach myself to developing the incredible potential of Vogue Paris.

We’re so excited for what Alt will bring us in the pages of Vogue, as her personal style embodies everything we love about the chic and cool French women as well as her passion for fun and music.

Whether you’re hitting the gym to shred those post-holiday seven plus extra pounds, or are just hitting the couch to watch the Golden Globe nominated movies of the year (before it’s too late!)—give slouchy the slip, and choose lounge wear that works for you.    You know the difference, you can go baggy and saggy, or you can pick sleek and slimming.  Invest in the best—there really is no down time when it comes to great style.  We’ve catalogued a few of our notable favorites below—try a few on and decide for yourself:

Luxe Deluxe

Nordstrom at Lakewood Center ($296).

Juicy’s got the corner market on sexy tracksuits.  These form fitting velour two-pieces are known for making cozy—couture.  We love this sparkle burst version in slate with its slighty edgy graphic detail on the side of the pants and back of the hoodie.  We snatched this up in Nordstrom at Lakewood Center ($296).

White Hot

Footlocker in Inland Center ($80).

Forget frumpy when you’re layering on fleece—find one with a little flair.  This white-is-right jacket features simple extra details that add up to a lot of sass.  Sidelined front zipper, dramatic open collar and trim fit take this one from basic to brazen.  Get it at Footlocker in Inland Center ($80).

Top This

Lucy in La Cumbre Plaza ($48).

Tank top, schmank top—most just blend and you fade.  Make a statement with a cut that stands out like this heart-shaped, ruched, racer back top that tucks you in and trots you out.  This uber flattering version will show you off and keep you in place—no matter how high you jump or how low you stretch.  Find it at Lucy in La Cumbre Plaza ($48).

Cynthia Vincent Resort 2011 Preview.

Something is happening on 12th Street, and it’s not winter construction or a street fair.  It is, however, a serious love affair with designer Cynthia Vincent. Her Twelfth Street Resort 2011 collection takes hippie-chic to a whole new level. From neutral beaded tunics to tribal patterned rompers, this collection embodies an effortless – yet polished – kind of cool.

I may not be heading to St. Barth’s anytime soon, but my bag is most certainly packed…

Ray of Light

This CV Sunburst Beaded Tunic Dress – $425 dress is the perfect resort staple; the subtle gold beading adds a touch of glitz without overpowering the overall neutral vibe.

Accessories Included

This cami has beaded detailing along the neckline, which makes it the perfect change-n-go top.

CV Beaded Neck Piece Cami

Crossing Over

This CV Beaded Shoulder Crossover Dress could truly go from day to night; the color makes it casual enough for day, but the elegant cut and beading make it perfect for night as well.

Be Brave

Boho doesn’t mean boring.  This colorful tribal patterned romper, CV Racerback Zulu Print Romper – $345, doesn’t take itself too seriously and isn’t too loud.  Have some fun!

Kim Kardashion is Galmour Magazine's February 2011 cover girl.

Television personality Kim Kardashian never expected to have the success she has, as she tells Glamour magazine in their “Guy Issue” for February 2011.   “I’d be foolish not to take some of these opportunities that are coming my way,” Kim said. “We all know this can go away at any moment.”

Kim also breaks down how to “dress sexy” in the magazine and comments on her status as a sex symbol.

“It’s definitely powerful. I don’t find myself as sexy as everyone thinks,” Kim stated in Glamour, February 2011. “I’m a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things. When I get dressed, I’m always so indecisive.”
