    Re: Ungaro: Hmm. Does that mean at some point in time, I might actually be able to afford one of the dresses from Lindsay's collection? Because I liked four of them a lot, which probably means that I have zero taste. #lindsaylohanungaro

    I've looked into these sites, and I guess if you want to show off that you can (fake) afford designer, it's okay. But if I have to spend $400 to RENT a Missoni dress, I'd rather just buy an Alice + Olivia or something.

    Uh. Why would anyone regardless of size WANT to do this?
    "Borrow a beautiful designer dress for 5 - 10% of it's retail price"
    Um. For only 5-10% off, I'll buy my own, thanks...

    @femme-bot: Yeah, the prices range from $50 - $200. Maybe it's because I'm not too into designers but for $200 I could buy a dress and wear it more than once. I suppose I'm not the market for this service though. I've also always been confused by Bag, Borrow and Steal. #renttherunway

    @femme-bot: There's certainly something to be said for that approach, but I like variety. Half the fun of special events for me is the getting to wear a new pretty thing, so I tend to take the excuse when it comes. Plus I am young and broke and live in a very tiny apartment with like 2 inches of closet space, so I have to be very selective about what I actually keep in said closets. I joined this site the other day, I think it will work out well for me #renttherunway

    @colormeroutine: I didn't think of lack of closet space, heh. Yeah, I guess if someone needs the variety and goes out enough to justify it (is there a membership price) then that's cool.

    Stupid designers - cutting off their noses to spite their dang faces - the average size of an American woman is 12-14. I hope they go broke - and will be surprised if they don't! #renttherunway

    Which is not to say this isn't fucked up and stupid, just that likely will not actually go broke because of said stupid fuckedupedness #renttherunway

    That Anthropologie is highly profitable does not surprise me. They carry the same made-in-a-faraway-sweatshop level of quality as Urban Outfitters(aka, very low quality), but at a much, much higher price point. Quite brilliant, really.

    Have any of you ever had those dreams where your body's suddenly bulbous? Your limbs are too big, pieces are becoming increasingly disproportionate ... scary as hell, basically.

    That's what the McQueen/GaGa shoes remind me of. #ragtrade

    The foot is positioned inside the bulb just like it would be in a normal heel. I assume it felt like walking in REALLY high platforms.

    Maybe we should just aspire to not describing ourselves using inanimate objects and fruits as descriptors. (i.e. apple, pear, hourglass, tubes, inverted triangles etc, etc.)

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: we're not referring to "you" as that, just your silouette. I never heard of inverted triangle, was just always easier to say "V" shape.

    not trying to start an argument, but its hard to paint a mental picture without some description like this. I have used it only for convenience and never for offense. #bodyshapes

    @10pninjas: A body is a body. All of the descriptors sort of give an impression that one may be better than another and that's simply not true. It's a body. Bodies are different for myriad reasons: genetics, exercise and eating habits etc. I think we should probably grow beyond this. If you defy labels than they really won't apply. And the inverted triangle part was a joke. #bodyshapes

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: if the descriptors gave that impression, yes, it would be far from untrue. I've known that enough by my own attractions. I've been attracted to women of many body types including one more masculine then my own, most simply because i love the person more then the body. But if you're describing it just to describe...

    its just hard to see that just describing how something looks it hurtful. i mean, sure...point out cellulite, crows feet and other hurtful specifics, that i can understand. But giving a decription of general height, weight, color and build...i think if you found neutral descriptions offensive, you should work on changing them if you can. On the biggest loser, these people are still big but they appreciate every pound lost, they are working to make a difference. But thats only shame on the offended if they take offense to neutral and do nothing about it. People trying to make a difference can still be hurt by malicious words.

    my bad on the inverted part. you're still funny, i just wasnt quick enough to catch it. #bodyshapes
