    Re: Chloe's line. Have you seen it? It's possible she made that crap herself. It would explain a lot.

    I kind of thought Michelle looked too casual when meeting the Queen, as well. I hate when people's - not necessarily people here, but on "The View," for example - response to criticism of Michelle or Barack is along the lines of, "She's a wonderful person. She's a good mother. He looks a great father. Etc." What does that have to do with the criticism at hand?

    Here's what I don't get about designers suing Forever 21 for copying their looks: is Forever 21 really pinching the designers' markets? I can almost guarantee Trovata that the people shopping at Forever 21 would not have purchased the "original" item from the designer line ever, ever, ever.

    @jigglyball: I agree. Outright copying a design is tacky, sure, but I don't think it takes away their customers. All fashion trickles down in one form or another, and designers copy each other all the time.

    @KidPresentable: Yeah. Copying seems to be standard operating procedure in fashion anyway. I think there's a class element at play here.

    The **** with Oscar and his extrapolated self-hate. (Seriously, man. You are Dominican and Puerto Rican. Just stop.)


    On to important things. I need the dress the First Lady is wearing like humans need fire.

    Re: Isaac Mizrahi, I saw a WSJ article about his new line for Liz Claiborne last week, and when they spoke to him he also mentioned that the haircut is what women should be splurging on. Like it's the most important part of a woman's look. Exceedingly weird for a clothing designer to say, no?


    PS - Tim Gunn also said in his book that haircuts are one of the few things that are worth spending big $$ on. Are these guys in bed with the hairstylists or something?

    @wordinedgewise: It's an interesting take. I don't know about women from other races, but hair care is a massive expense for a lot of African-American woman and is a fairly large sub-section of the beauty industry.

    @wordinedgewise: It makes sense to me. If you've got great clothes but your hair is a mess, you'll look a mass. Same thing with eyebrows. If you have great makeup and flawless skin but eyebrows that are out of whack, your face will look out of whack.

    I'm so tired of the Oscar de la Renta comment.


    He's a leader in formal wear. Someone asked him what he thought about Michelle's outfit at Buckingham Palace and he said it was too casual. Its not a big deal, I doubt Michelle even cares. He doesn't have to go on the View to apologize. Azzedine Alaïa's comment is much bitchier.

    Angela Merkel looks like she's going to start tap dancing (giggles). All three ladies look very pretty in this pic, all of them with very different styles. Also, Sarkozy has something hot going on, I just can't figure out what it is. In related news, I'm in my "being superficial" mode today. Blame it on the darn period about to come.
