The Good:
I didn't think Drew Barrymore could top her NYC 30's bombshell look, but this Valley of the Dolls ensemble is fabulous!


The neckline makes Lucy Barzun Donnelly's LBD.


And Alison Brie's iteration is flirty and pretty.


Love the soft colors and whimsical embellishment on Jessica Lange's two-tone.


The Spring palette makes Jennie Garth's sixties-inflected numero.


The Bad:
Ali Larter does gladiator. As is her prerogative.


Jennifer Elise Cox's urban cowgirl has a touch of the Juniors department about it, no? Not that, ahem, I shop there or anything.


Wow, everyone else must have felt so awkward when they showed up and realized they'd missed the Polka-Dot Short-Short Tuxedo-Sans-Bra dress code memo!


What Say You?

Are "obsessive thoughts" keeping you from "getting more pleasure out of life"? Just take a few minutes to let the air in and out of your lungs — because who can feel bad while breathing? Ali Larter agrees. Her life is stressful — she likes "to fly by the seat of my pants," meaning, "If I have a day off, I want to get on a plane and go to Paris!" When it's all too much, she uses "breathing" to get her back down to earth. You too can use this technique — especially if Seat of Your Pants Air is the only way you're making it to Gay Paree.

Left, March 2007 cover line: "Heroes Star Ali Larter: Low-Key, So Glamorous" Right, May 2008 cover line: "Ali Larter: Secrets To Her Gorgeous California-Girl Look"

March cover clothing (left): Zac Posen dress, Bebe cardigan. May cover clothing (right): Banana republic silk shell and belt; Stella McCartney vest; Mason by Michelle Mason pants. March cover makeup: All by Chanel. May cover makeup: All by Revlon.

Her Way, March 2007 (left): "My easiest, never-fail outfit is a plain white tank, old Levi's, and a pair of chic thing sandals." Plus: "Ali MacGraw is inspiring because she consistently manages to look elegant, without being overdone." Her Way, May 2008 (right): "I literally go through at least two pairs of thong sandals a season, so I look for affordable ones that I don't have to worry about tearing up." Store shout-out: "I always have the best luck at Decades vintage in L.A. It's so much fun to wear clothes that have a story behind them."

Her Way, continued, March 2007 (left): "Sometimes I'm just craving a sweet floral print — and Dolce & Gabbana has such gorgeous ones." Store shout-out: "Malgosia is one of my favorite stores in L.A. It sells intricately detailed pieces that don't seem mass-produced." Her Way, continued, May 2008: "I've been channeling Ali MacGraw's fresh, all-American look from the '70s, with pink nails against bronzed skin." Plus: "To me, Jerry Hall's look in the '80s is the pure definition of sexy, with her long, wavy hair and really bold lips." (Hmm, like the March cover!)

Summary: Ali Larter likes thong sandals, floral dresses and Ali MacGraw. And she told us so, last March.

Below: a sample of Larter's "Cosmo Quiz". Following: the analysis.

The slant of this writing is definitely way to the left (directionally, not necessarily politically), an indication that the writer is very difficult to know beneath what she may show on the surface. The writer is self possessed and mostly interested in how matters will work out for her personally. She may not extend herself sincerely for others. The writer's t-bars (the line that goes sideways) are placed from the top to the bottom of the t-stem. This signals that the writer is unsure whether to set her goals high, where she may have to stretch, or low, where she can achieve them by merely stooping a bit. Although the initial hooks on some letters signal that the writer strongly wishes to acquire things (like money, fame, knowledge, or power), the inconsistent goals may make her unsure as to her direction. The large, full loops on some of her letters show that the writer has an active imagination, when she chooses to use it. Notice the huge loops in "days" and "dogs". There are several incomplete loops, which indicate a person who can dream up interesting and original concepts, but may fail to bring them to reality. Hooks at the end of letters indicate a person who will grip like Velcro to things, people, and ideas they have acquired. The writer will have a difficult time letting go, even after it is clear that the time for letting go has come. There is an intertwining of some letters from one line of writing to the next, a sign that the writer may get scattered and confused if faced with too many projects at one time. To perform best, this writer must take on and finish one task at a time and avoid juggling too many tasks at once. The strong, heavy t-bars indicate that the writer probably has a good share of energy and drive. The loops in the lowercase e's are open. The writer is accepting of the ideas of others and does not filter them out with preconceptions. There are strong, conclusive strokes on the ends of certain letters (see the strong finish to "woman"). This writer will independently reach her own decisions and take action.

The March issue has a surprisingly beautiful Ali Larter (she's gotten more attractive with age) on its cover, and promises of 4,000 free gifts, 942 amazing finds (who counts this stuff?) and SHOES, SHOES SHOES!!!

And let's be honest: there's not much of note within the first 220 pages that gets our panties in a twist other than a whimsical-yet-dark, display-worthy ceramic platter by Laura Zindel, and the continually annoying parade of "real women" models, all of whom seem to be uniformly thin of figure and fat of wallet.

But then, the Spring Shoe Guide: Wood-heel wedges (check out the metallic leather pair by Anya Hindmarch). Slingback sandals. Ankle-strap flats (we want the pair by Delman or Sigerson Morrison). Cork heels (those patent-leather and mesh Louboutins...are you fucking kidding?). Flat sandals (we hate to jump on the Tory Burch bandwagon, but her leather "Ali" style is to die for).

Time to go change those panties.
