QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How do you stay beautiful?

Most women have great loyalty to their daily so-called "beauty routine" whether it consists of applying that MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation, brushing the lids with colorful mono eyeshadow from Sephora's Film Noir collection, applying blush or simply dabbing your lips with a bit of NARS Lip Lacquer. And not to be forgotten, that fave Ferragamo fragrance. Not only that but most women don't leave the house without certain beauty essentials such as Kiehl's Lip Balm from the Lip Balm #1 Limited Edition Set.

Bag Ladies wants to know how do you stay beautiful and what products you absolutely cannot live without. Leave your comments right here (you can do so anonymously even), and we just might reference on tomorrow's show and you might even win some product but you gotta leave your comments and of course you gotta tune in tomorrow.

This week Bag Ladies gets down with Dr. Jeanine Downie, co-author of Beautiful Skin of Color, for some serious chit chat about your skin and how to keep it glowing and beautiful. Bag Ladies will also seek to dispel those notions that we don't have to do anything, don't really need to use sunscreen and more. The season is about to change so what changes might you want to make to your skincare routine to ensure a clean and clear transition from warm to cold. Be sure to tune in tomorrow, Tuesday at 7p EST ...only on bagladiesradio.com. Talk to ya then!

Madame Myra's Top 10: Simply Put, Why We Ladies Are Better

Not that we need to justify but just in case someone poses the question, "what makes you think you are better than moi?", here are at least 10 reasons or rather facts to choose from. Tune into Bag Ladies tonite at 7p EST and listen to what Top 10 Madame Myra dishes out ...

-- Bag Ladies

1. We evolve hotter.
A recent study revealed that women are getting better looking through evolution; meanwhile, men are staying the same. After following more than 2,000 people through four decades of life, the study showed that attractive women had 16 percent more children than average-looking chicks and that beautiful people are 36 percent more likely to have a daughter as their firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than in past generations.

2. We survive car accidents more often.
This is sad but true: Men are 77 percent more likely to die in a car accident than women, according to a study done by Carnegie Mellon University. Our boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag them to "Wear your seatbelt!"

3. We're better at seeking comfort.
A Mind survey of 2,000 people revealed that women are far more likely than men to talk through their problems. Fifty-three percent of women talk to their friends about what's stressing them out, as opposed to 29 percent of men.

4. We're more recession-proof.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80 percent of those who have lost their jobs since December 2007 have been men. Ouch. This could be because male-dominated fields have been hit the hardest, like manufacturing and finance. That really sucks...but hey, maybe it's time more men became nurses and educators.

5. We graduate college more often.
We already know that female enrollment is higher than male, but the Department of Education's statistics reveal that men are also less likely than women to graduate and get their bachelor's degrees. Men are also more likely to take longer than five years to complete their degree

6. We eat healthier.
A survey of more than 14,000 people, conducted by the University of Minnesota, showed that women choose far healthier foods than men. While men are more likely to chow down on frozen pizza and red meat, women are piling fruits and veggies onto their plates. It all sounds pretty obvious, but we get so much grief for our chocolate addictions that we just had to point this one out!

7. We have stronger immune systems.
No wonder men act like such babies when they have a sniffle — women really do have stronger immune systems than men! If there are little battles going on in our bodies, women have a secret weapon: estrogen. A study done by McGill University indicated that estrogen gives women an edge when it comes to fighting off infections. That's because estrogen confronts a certain enzyme that often hinders the body's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses.

8. We live longer.
Among the world's population of those who are over 100 years old, 85 percent are women, according to the New England Centenarian Study. In general, women continue to live five to 10 years longer than men as well.

9. We're better managers, especially in this economy.
This one is a little controversial, but a slew of experts are confident that women make greater bosses because they are better listeners, mentors, problem solvers, and multitaskers than their male counterparts. In a recent Daily News article, management expert Jay Forte said, "It's a very service-oriented economy [right now], so you need employees to be motivated. Women are better connectors than men and more astute about knowing how to activate passion in their employees."

10. We communicate more.
This one isn't about talking a mile a minute, like you probably suspected. It's now scientifically proven that women can process more words than men. A study done by Louann Brizendine of the University of California at San Francisco showed that men can process approximately 7,000 words per day, compared to women's 20,000 words. The study found that this characteristic can start as early as the fetal stage and is more biological than social.

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Amber Rose

If you listen to Bag Ladies on a regular which we of course know you do :-), then you no doubt know that we love Amber Rose' style so when we happened upon recent pictures of her and boyfriend Kanye West taking a shopping stroll through the streets of Manhattan, we couldn't wait to see what "fit" she was rocking. We just love the simplicity and the ease of what she put together but yet she's still keeping w/current trends by sporting the fedora and slouchy sandals. She's not trying so hard.

Look for how you can get this same look for less in tomorrow's edition of Thru The Eyes of Bag Ladies and on tomorrow's Bag Ladies Reality Radio at 7p EST.

Bag Ladies Look Of The Week: Teyana Taylor

We just love this Married To The Mob Look sported by Rapper,
Teyana Taylor.

Teyana is the face of the brand's fall '09 collection.

This is one of the pics from the recent shoot.

Although it doesn't reveal much, the style of the shot speaks to that which Married To The MOB is about, a street wear label for women. And Teyana with her I don't take no sh*t, street-chic style, she's the attitude of the label.

We'll tell you how to rock this same look on tomorrow's edition of Bag Ladies Reality Radio, 7p EST.
