@berlitzfrench: I just realized the grammatical error in my original post. Ugh. That's what I get for posting with only 3 hours of sleep under my belt... #marisamiller
@thatblackgirl: Well, Photoshop is used to create an "illusion". Implants are used to create breasts that are made out of silicone instead of flesh. There's no reason physical breasts would look "photoshopped on" ust because they have implants inside. #marisamiller
As an Anthropology student, I resent the spelling of that shop name.
But my two American friends are always banging on about how good it is, and they both dress far better than I do, so I'll probably check it out at some point... #marisamiller
I love Ann Taylor - the pieces are usually basic enough that I can rock them for a variety of occasions, with the right accessories. Sure, they're "edge-free", but I add my own edge with jewelry, shoes and bags. #marisamiller
@FashionShowAtLunch: She lost me for good at:
"No, I’m not interested in a Michelle Obama-inspired, stretch satin, office-party ‘mistletoe moment’ dress, thank you very little."
We can't all wear "Frankenhooker" boots to work Cintra! Some of us like collecting cardigans and wool skirts--preferably ones that cost less than $100, thanks.
@lolabee: I read it as, "I have no problem with fat chicks wearing my clothes but designing stuff that flatters a body with curves and stuff that deviates from my dressmaking mannequins is HARD and I'm too lazy." #marisamiller
I think Madmen is to some degree diluting their brand by partnering with Banana Republic. I like the clothes style too, but it's a little too Disney or Harry Potter Warner Bros marketing for me. Buy products which allow you to live in your fictional fantasy world! In the NYT piece they also refer to a Madmen inspired NYC trip. I love Madmen. The world is presents, however, is meant to be criticized, not emulated. Do the racist and misogynist attitudes come all inclusive in this travel package?

Ladies, BR is owned by Gap Inc, and you know how Gap feels about their higher-end brands and ladies of the curvaceous persuasion. They'd NEVER do Joan dresses-- they can't even get curvy jeans right, why would they attempt dresses that curve in multiple places?
@Tiger Lourdes: Zombie Hunter: You're so lucky. I have all three and only can do ON jeans-- which last about two-three months before my thighs of destruction kill them.
@Ipomoea is a joyful girl: It's funny; I consider myself "curvy" and Banana Republic fits me much better than Gap. I think that the tailoring helps me out and the flimsy nature of the Gap only highlights any "flaws" rather than highlighting assets.
The Chanel video was fascinating. I'd definitely watch a documentary about the formation of a dress from beginning to end (formation of fabric to runway).
Someone needs to give Mr. Timberlake and Charles W. Givenchy or whoever is in charge over there a lesson on adverbs. It's play intensely. No wonder kids nowadays all write like Carrie Prejean.

These are the same sort of people who pay homeless guys to beat the shit out each other, aren't they. #marisamiller

Was she misquoted? That sentence is so awkward it becomes contradictory. #ragtrade
