The news about Fisher made me sad. I am beyond excited about Ford getting back into women's wear. Somewhat off-topic....is Jenna on vacation? Haven't seen her posting in awhile. Just curious.

I thought people shouldn't be wearing Crocs because they are an affront to humanity.

Dear Jews,

May I offer you your choice of a wide variety of very attractive shoes that make my feet bleed? One particularly beautiful pair of jewel tone blue flats come complete with my ACTUAL BLOOD staining the back. I have flats and heels. Guaranteed to make you sorry you were ever born.

The line forms to the left.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Do you have anything in a horrifying rash of blisters?

@GirlyQ is feeling extra lesbionic: I don't know about "rash" but if you're into heel blisters, I have a beautiful pair of black and white lace ballet flats. If you'd rather just have the skin on the back of your heels shorn off, I have the above mentioned jewel tone blues.

I'm actually excited about the Sonia Rykiel/H&M collaboration -- although there's always such a stampede on those designer collections, I doubt I will be able to get my hands on one of her sweaters.
Also hope for non-itchy wool.

I wonder how makeup for men will differ from makeup for women...

Also, the dress in the center is beautiful and looks super comfy.

@Acefreakly: I have looked at it. It is the same stuff in manly packaging and is just a smaller line- bronzer, concealer, and eye liner basically.

@Acefreakly: It just tends to steer towards creating the no-makeup effect. Everything is very matte and neutral. Some of the big sellers in that line are actually a lip balm that has no shine to it and an undereye concealer.

I'm sorry I just dont understand the point of these. I want to feel sexy when I dress up. I do not feel sexy rolled up like a sausage. I feel a lot sexier in a lacy bra and lacy boyshort underwear. And if I can not snag the man I want unless I am stuffed into some archaic looking underwear he wasn't worth my time. Luckily I have a guy that loves me jiggles and all. Ladies...they will eventually see you without all this constricting underwear anyway might as well get used to it.

My husband and I spent our wedding night taking photos of me posing "seductively" around our hotel room wearing only the stick-on nu-bra and chest-high, knee-length Spanx that I had to wear all day under my dress. I knew that morning, as I stuck on those cups, yanked up those flesh-colored bike-shorts, and cut a slit in crotch of the Spanx for ease of use in the bathroom (my mother insisted), that he'd find my under-garment situation to be incredibly hilarious.

@CHEZ: dude, awesome. i wore THE SAME undergarments for my wedding (well, not the full-on bikeshorts because they came up too high/down too low & would've been seen under/above my dress) and there is an entire series of pictures from the end of the hotel after-party of me and a couple friends adhering the sticky bra boobs onto different parts of our bodies/faces. oh gross. we were really, really drunk.

@robot_devil: Were you wearing a really low-cut, really mini-skirt wedding dress? So low-cut you couldn't wear a bra, with a skirt so short you couldn't stick bike shorts underneath? That is bold .

I love Flexees body briefers. It's kind of like wearing a swimsuit underneath your clothes. And it can't roll anywhere .

If you're about to fuck someone, just go to the bathroom and remove your underwear, stuff them in your purse. Everyone wins!

@blowmynose: I dunno, dude. My most effective ass-squashing thing is a pair of compression running shorts, and every time I take them off I could just about keel over from the funkiness. I once made the mistake of putting my foot up on the dashboard and nearly passed out.

Granted, this is also after I run in them, but a similar product worn for five hours at a summer wedding just might be equally bad.

I am guilty of having an entire drawer of shapewear. I have two waist cinchers, a Spanx bodysuit with legs, one without legs, and a bunch of control top pantyhose. Shapewear isn't my favorite thing, but I find that is a necessity for professional wear.

Of course, the minute I get home I peel those fuckers off.

@Haystacks: See, now I think that these babies have a place. A small one. I got a really cute sweater dress that fits perfectly, but any sort of undies would have shown and ruined the line. So it wasn't like I was trying to suck my body into an unnatural shape, I just needed to keep it smoove.

how about the money being spent on girdles, spanx and control tops could be put toward going to a tailor who could mend your clothing to fit more to your form.

@Jessi Ramsey: I understand what you're saying, I do. But I am a lady of size, and just tailoring will not help my tummy jiggle.

My self esteem is so low, especially in regards to my appearance that shapewear makes me feel confident and in control. I know it makes me a bad feminist, but it might as well be my safety blanket.

@Jessi Ramsey: Eh, it really depends on the garment. I just had 80 bucks worth of alterations done on an evening gown and although the dress fits perfectly, my small stomach pooch will still show because it is bias-cut satin which emphasizes every little roll or bump. The tailor cant do anything to fix that, though some pantyhose can.
