    Pictures of clothes on ladies with figures closer to mine make me covet clothing, not the same looking body with the same make-up, etc.


    Models should be dif sizes. Fashion - you want to keep them at a still unattainable standard - fine, I can't stop you there.


    But seeing clothes on someone like Catherine Zeta Jones, Salma Hayek, etc. (ladies with busts, smaller waist to hip ratio, and an ass) make me covet a dress, even if I cant afford. Then I start the scheming and daydreaming of being able to be an escort with no regrets or something.

    @Johnny_Rocket: Problem is, when they do use a celeb the ad gets more press, other than the company having to pay for it. If a model was in above, we prob wouldn't be reading about it.

    Part of the problem with J. Crew is that their shoes totally suck. i'd have no problem buying them if they were cheaper, but I'm not shelling out big bucks for a pair of boots that's going to fall apart after three months..

    @FashionShowAtLunch: Really? I have a bunch of J.Crew shoes that I love. The only ones I've bought that have disappointed me are a pair of silk ballet flats.


    But I think the lesson there is that silk is not appropriate for city walking.

    DVF's got the right idea. I will absolutely have my own space, always. Right now I use the dogs' bedroom as my dressing room, and eventually I'll be able to afford to improve it a lot. Like adding a reading chair or maybe a chaise and a desk and stuff. That way whenever I want some time to myself, I won't be forced to actually leave the house. Because that's pretty much how it is now.

    My local Vermont J. Crew has recently been having amazing sales.....seeing the above, methinks that the sales will be getting awesomer.


    I love DVF. BUT, what I really want to hear is about what she thinks of The City. Although, juicy marriage info is always fun.

    I feel like Victoria Beckham had that reverse-airbrushing where they actually put some flesh back on you. Her chest/knees are way more bony than they are in these ads.

    @Triphena: Definitely. With this new Mad Men/50s trend, I've noticed the dresses worn by celebrities making them look fuller in areas they once seemed to prize on not feeding. It's nice, as long as they're not wearing hip and butt pads to accomplish such.

(Though I'm pissed off at them for their ridiculous shipping rates, which basically punish you for spending more money there. I can't tell you how many times I've removed items from my cart to get down into the lower shipping category.)

    I don't care how famous you are or how pissed off you manage to look in expensive clothing, no amount of adamant advertising will make me interested in purchasing an item of clothing that costs roughly the same as my rent.

    @deltabella: Whoa, facts? You mean like old-timey newspapers insist on? Well, no, I don't have any of those, but I can point you towards years and years of rumours (try Google). And also...if you read TatianaTheAnonymousModel's post above, you will see she refers to DVF and Diller's union as a mariage blanc. She used subtlety, I used a sledgehammer...I need to refine my snark-making, clearly.

    @heykoukla: a mariage blanc is a marriage made for necessity - as in a Jew marrying a gentile.


    A mariage lavender is a marriage arranged for those to escape prosecution for homosexuality.


    I used Google and Wikipedia.


    My guess? One had a really shitty divorce.

    Oh how I love Vivienne Westwood. Although I have no money to buy clothes, I do do like to save up and get something pretty every once and a while... it's so much better than a bunch of cotton shirts that will just sit in my drawer.

    @Anointynointy: I know. I buy stuff from H&M and sometimes consider that my quality splurge because at least it isn't second-hand, but I still save up for a sexy pair of shoes once in a while, or a great party dress. I guess I feel like, if I have to spend the money, I'd rather get something exciting than something regular. This may be why I rarely have anything to wear...

    I am happy that Swatch is doing well. (or so it seems) My first watch was a Swatch, and after a few years off, I just bought a new Swatch last fall. I do not regret it at all. I still get lots of compliments on my watch.

    To me, Swatch will always be my watch with the green strap, and the plaid pink and green face from about 1986. 2 whole weeks pay from SuperValu!
    I loved that thing so much, that I could never get anything Swatch again.
