HOT, WET AND UNDERAGE

Meet T.A.T.U., Russian teen pop duo and marketing geniuses.  See, Julia (left) and Lena know a recipe for fame our squeaky-clean Mandys and Britneys can't cook - they make out with eachother.  Witness the plot to take over the world via appealing to both men and women, which depends on carefully constructed sexual ambiguity:  You can have short hair - but careful, not too butch!  Your "partner" should have longer, more romantic, tumbly waves (try Matric Tuftrix, which can go both ways).  Wear playful yet minimal makeup for that is-she-or-isn't-she? mystique (YSL eyeliner in Indigo on Julia, Tarte liner in Plum on Lena), including flushed-pink cheeks (Dior Diorlight in Natural Rose) and glossy wet lips (try L'Oreal's new Endless Liquid Lipcolour in Perpetual Pink), so it's apparent you've been snogging someone.  No one needs to know who.  Now, kiss your best girlfriend in public, and when a horny asshole asks if you sleep together, shrug innocently.  Better yet, answer in Russian.
