10 Things Highly Intuitive People Do Differently by Carolyn Gregoire for The Huffington Post

"Intuition is challenging to define, despite the huge role it plays in our everyday lives. Steve Jobs called it, for instance, "more powerful than intellect." But however we put it into words, we all, well, intuitively know just what it is. ..." - by Carolyn Gregoire

IGGY POP: Australian rapper Iggy Azalea hits us with a dose of camp in the music video her hit single "Fancy". She takes us on a trip through the NIneties, recreating famous scenes from the movie we all know and love: Clueless.

Azalea plays Cher Horowitz, of course, bouncing and bombing between a cast of characters so similar to the movie it's mind boggling. Side note: the video was shot at the same school as the original film. And remember that memorable freeway scene when Dion learned to drive for the first time? That's right! Same location.

KEEPIN' UP WITH KENDALL: Someone please dial 911! There's a fashion emergency happening within the Kardashian clan by the name of Kendall Jenner. But this girl isn't committing a crime like her less sartorially-savvy older sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. This issue regards the five-alarm status of her modeling career right now.

Earlier this month, she booked a coveted slot to walk in Marc Jacobs' Fall 2014 show in New York. Then she 'hopped across the pond' to walk for Giles during London Fashion Week, while squeezing in time to hobnob with Anna Wintour during the TopShop Unique show. But, if that wasn't enough, she lands an opportunity to walk exclusively for Givenchy in Paris.

Kendall's career launched after she signed with model management firm The Society last year. They're a division of Elite Model Management in New York, representing bold-faced names like Adriana Lima and Lindsay Wixson. She's also recently developed a strong business relationship with powerhouse stylist Katie Grand. This explains Kendall's stints for Marc Jacobs and Giles; two of many designers Grand works with during show season.

But, let's be honest here: it doesn't hurt that she comes from reality television royalty. Her father is Olympic legend Bruce Jenner (check!) and her sister is Kim Kardashian, mother to the daughter of Kanye West (BOOM!). Surely, she's got the look, but she's definitely got the right connections.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Channing: Ladies and gentle-queens, let's face it: we're all a little obsessed with Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum. He's giving you face for days, body-ody-ody-ody and swag appeal so potent your panties drop just from the thought of his sizzling personality. But, do any of you remember him when he was a young male fashion model? 

Leave it up to respected fashion journalist Tim Blanks to dig up some precious footage of a then 21-year old Tatum. It's all captured in a new Style.com web series titled TBT (as in Throwback Thursdays). Blanks interviews Tatum backstage at Neil Barrett's first ever menswear show, chatting about career goals and Kate Moss.

PAT CLEVELAND'S GOT A NUDE ATTITUDE: You're truly on to something when larger-than-life editor Andre Leon Talley collaborates with the devilishly handsome designer and photographer Tom Ford. Throw into the mix legendary supermodel Pat Cleveland along with South African male model Conrad Bromfield and - BOOM! - you've got yourself a fashionable Supernova.

This explosion of style occurs in the March issue of Numero Russia on newsstands now. The cheeky cover and fourteen-page spread, photographed by Ford, features a 60-year old Cleveland cavorting with a completely nude Bromfield. She looks better than ever sporting ensembles from Tom Ford's Spring 2014 collection. Leon Talley, currently Editor-at-Large at Numero Russia, clearly had the right idea when planning this spread.

NO MEANS NO: New York City nightlife personality C. Maddox releases her inner Oprah by producing this wonderful video about the power of saying "NO!" ...and truly meaning it. There's a lot of guilt associated with the word no. Many of us dislike using this simple two-letter word in our vocabulary. But, the reality is that we need to stand firm in how we feel depending on the situation. This doesn't necessarily mean we have to say no to everything. But, we definitely shouldn't say yes to anything either.
