    The biggest beauty trend for 2013? Running with scissors.

    Lindsey Wixson at the Devil's Heaven Summer Benefit in New York


    There's something strange going on in Supermodel Land right now. The girls that bat away the new faces every season and continue to dominate the fashion and beauty world are going all Edward Scissorhands on us.
