Created for women, THE LOOK covers everything celebrity from fashion and beauty, to lifestyle and fitness. Through its numerous fashion and beauty experts, THE LOOK editorial team gives the audience an inside perspective into the world of celebrity lifestyle. THE LOOK is really three sites in one, an online network, a daily editorial and photo site, and an ecommerce store.

Brian Cury, CEO and founder of EarthCam, Inc., is a recognized leader in the webcam technology industry and holds several patents in the field. He founded EarthCam in 1996, establishing groundbreaking access to the then limited number of webcams, and now providing the online destination "Where the World Watches the World." EarthCam is currently documenting the filming of Walt Disney's upcoming movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

"Being pioneers in webcam technology with years of entertainment industry experience, EarthCam will bring synergistic and valuable contributions to Alan and THE LOOK team," said Cury. "I view it as an excellent and exciting opportunity."

From the beginning, Cury focused on creating new products, while developing and applying proprietary software and building a network infrastructure. Under his direction, EarthCam has gained acclaim in industry and government as the premier webcam technology company. Currently, EarthCam's international visitors view over 4.2 billion images from around the world annually.

As a network, THE LOOK features four original series including: "On the Scene," "Fashion Diva," "DIY: Do It Yourself," and "Beauty School."
