    I'm trying to find a way to turn this feature into a ~quirky~ rom-com for a late 2010/early 2011 release. If only there was a way to market slut shaming and internalized guilt about body image...

    fun sari fact: the way she is wearing her sari, with it draped in the front, is how Gujarati women wear saris (except in this case, it's dipping pretty in the back; your average Gujarati woman would wear her sari in a more conservative style) whereas the draping in back you see in Maharashtra and other places.

    just thought I would share that with the group.

    Proof of cross over late 90's/aughties crossover- this photo, taken in 1999, includes pink hair, plastic jewelry, leather pants (I sprung for the real deal) and an asian print shirt. HOLLA.

    In reply to January Vogue: Everything Old Is ... Still Old
    This might be a stupid question, but if you guys hate what goes on in fashion mags so much, why do you read them and pick them apart? Isn't it kind of like looking at the Wall Street Journal and getting mad that there's so much business/finance in there?

    @Sadako: Well, I hink it has something to do with the fact that vogue, cosmo etc are the main "women's magazines" out there and they reach millions of women, giving them ridiculous advice/standards to adhere to. and its definitely worth "picking them apart" and commenting on the messages women are being sent via these magazines. especially, when an absurd amount of people take whats written in these magazines to be true and normal.

    also, fashion doesn't have to be trivial and overly expensive, as these magazines tend to portray it. considering these are "fashion magazines" you think they could do a better job at making fashion accessible to the women who actually read their magazine.

    @Sadako: would be great if there were somuch fashion in vogue, problem is mainly no fashion, total irrelevance, idiotic articles by the same 3 cliquettes every time, and 'actresses,' meaning actors who are women, on the cover. all the time. i would say this issue the worst in the wintour eon, but how could i tell, since theyre all more or less identical.

    @Sadako: Because fashion magazines are a huge influence on the perceptions of womanhood and femininity. They reflect what we are supposed to look like, to want, to aspire to, and to do. If we blithely dismiss them, we are ignoring the problem of prescribed female identity. It is a responsible person's duty to look at these things critically.

    And, you know, rip them apart.

    @Sadako: Not really. It's poking fun at something that many
    people read. It's important to ridicule stuff like this. Otherwise people might take it too seriously. Many of us don't buy them because of it, and maybe that will be true for others to more it's poked fun at.

    @Sadako: I'm of the belief that fashion magazines should talk of, you know, fashion rather than promote a jetset lifestyle. Why are there no fashion magazines talking in-depth of fashion (about silhouettes, colours,... and how this all works together), publishing articles of the history of fashion, featuring interesting, stylish people and questioning what fashion and style really is?

    I'm realizing there's a certain blessed freedom to being a devotee of rockabilly/retro/pin-up style: You can wear the same stuff in 2001 and 2009, and be equally, fabulously out-of-date.

    The leopard print everything (sweaters, coats, skirts, shoes, purses, dresses---not all together, please! *mon dieu, non*), the hair flowers, the updos and Veronica Lake dips and the big, big hairpieces. The stiletto heels and round-toed platform pumps. The corsets.

    You never have to worry about being of the moment when your "moment" was from 1945-1963.

    Oh man, I wish I had known about this! Although calling this "past fashion" makes me feel ancient at 28. For the most part my sense of style hasn't veered far from what it was at 14 in the 90's, BUT, The fit and print of the tees has gone through many changes since. And pants, too. I used to love flared. Could not live without. And then at some point a few years ago, skinny jeans started popping up everywhere and I embraced the taperedness I had for so many years shunned. I will be so out of style when the pendulum swings on skinny jeans because I will never give them up.

    Well, I think you look pretty fabulous! I refuse to look back on my prior clothing with anything other than affection, life is too short to be hung up about what we wore before. I even have affection for my goth/existential poser days, complete with beret and French cigarettes.
    The main thing I would like to see the back of it the thong, mainly because there are few things more tiring than walking through a room of students and being confronted with a pod of whale-tails peeping out at me, especially when it is also coupled with inappropriate amounts of flesh on show.

    @EverySingleContributor. I owned and wore at least one of everything pictured, save the trucker hat. Pleather pants galore. In fact, I was wearing pleather pants on my first date with the hubs. I even wore them through Europe, possibly further damaging relations with the U.S. (I still own them for sentimental reasons. Penny_esq, duct tape on the inseams works wonders.)

    I did both high school and college during the aughties. Unfortunately, my most fashion-victim years were in middle school. I lived in unisex t-shirts, cute jeans and Doc-Marten-style Sketcher boots through high school. Plain pendant necklaces, plain elastic hairbands, and a leather peacoat. The only thing about the 2000s that stands out to me horrible-fashion-wise is trucker caps, skater clothes, and the emo (and I was gawth-rawk in 1997-1999, so I win).
