Too Fat for Photos

Pantagraph covered New York Fashion Week with an article by Megan Scott. Megan reports that Models wore up to a size 2 and 4! Designers rejected prepubescent 13-year-olds.

Interesting that the article had not a single picture of the new "fat" models. The U.S. Council of Fashion Designers of America held classes on eating disorders.

Sorry, fashion should not hurt.

Aspiring to $280,000 Earrings

A $300,000 wardrobe?

Well, $280,000 were the earrings alone.

The nice thing about the USA is that we can ALL aspire to wealth, fame, power, and even fancy earrings.

Fashion and Style are about your personality, they are about your accomplishments, they are about your personal expression.

Fashion and Style are about YOU.

I aspire to have nice things. I aspire to live well and enjoy my success.

Being jealous and petty is not stylish.

Kawasaki 704 Series Color: 34 Gray.

You will see more of these glasses... very soon.

USA TODAY: Bruce Horovitz captures the details in an 09/04/08 article:

"The Kawasaki frames are made from titanium and mounted via a screwless, tension system.

Similar but older versions of the frames have been worn by Colin Powell, David Letterman and Whoopi Goldberg, says Bart VanderVelde, national sales manager at Italee. But few celebs in glasses have set off this kind of frenzy, he says. "

Bikram Yoga - Yogagroove (Austin)

It's hot... it's gross... your heart will race and you will get sweaty! But try it for a few days and you will be hooked.

We're talking about Hot Yoga at Yogagroove.

At first we were concerned about going. But not everyone there has a perfect body, and not everyone can hit all 26 postures. Once you start concentrating you forget about everyone around you.

Yogagroove enrollment for the first month for under $30, with unlimited access. If you choose to continue you can choose a package based on your expected usage.

Yoga... Hot Yoga... Very cool.

Lions and Tigers and Pant Suits, Oh My!

Some pictures should never be posted on the web. We are not big fans of synthetics. Especially since natural fabrics can be colored into a wide spectrum of beautiful colors.

Few would argue that these four colors would reproduce well on cotton. A nice silk camisole in any of these colors would be fantastic. But an entire suit is a little over-the-top.

Still, you have to admire that Hillary, or someone on her team, is aware of the smallest detail of her wardrobe selection.

The two blues suits would have faded into the background and the red suit is just a little too "Republican".

Laura's white linen jacket and skirt, with tan shoes was simple and sweat.

Cantaloupe anyone?
