Rene Russo's feet and shoes look enormous in those photos, and I for one find that very encouraging. As a size 11-er myself, I tire of seeing ads with little cute and delicate shoes that will end up looking like boats when (IF) they're made big enough to fit me.

Well, dayum, Ms. Russo! Putting me to shame, you are. That photo is lovely. My cankles do not love the shoes, though. Plus I have this aversion to white shoes because they tend to look a bit too grandma. Anyway, I never wash my pajamas unless I happened to have a sweaty night, which happens once in a while. Other than those occasions, though, how dirty could I possibly get while sleeping swaddled in my bed? Oh but my ridiculous showering habit cancels out any green efforts I may attempt. I do one at night, a long one, and a quick one every morning to wake up and wash my hair. I have the hair of a pubescent teen. It's unfortunate because washing it every morning = blowing it out every morning. But, by the end of the day, I can actually smell the sebum in my locks and it is just disgusting. Mr. Foibs does not understand my excessive showering because he can go days and days without one and never smells at all. I'm like, well, you don't have a vadge and I do. It requires more attention than your equipment does. Plus the whole shaving thing which I have gotten way more lax about in my dotage.

It should be pointed out that Rowan didn't convene the panel, Vivienne Westwood did, and invited her to take part because she was sceptical that fashion could save the planet.

Oh and her friend is going to Florence anyway, she doesn't send the dresses special like.

Ok...

Dude, Guess?'s sales are tanking in the US because, well, their clothing sucks.

And I actually have a problem with this. No less than four years ago, I loved Guess. Then Guess went Marciano and I scratched my head. Then they found monograms and the shade of gold and I stamped my foot. Now you can't buy anything in the store that isn't a denim corset, polyester jumpsuit, or underwire blouse/ corset monstrosity.

i am thisclose to wanting to start a nice line of larger sized clothing. it's such an untapped market!!! I do a lot of ebay, and the MAJORITY of the money I get from selling vintage clothes are from gals my size and bigger (considered plus-size in the fashion world). if i was a smidge more ambitious, i'd be trying to find investors right now. as it stands, i can barely get myself to do the basic ebay work. but man, if i was a mover and a shaker...

"Lolita meets old Hollywood Glam" What the hell does that even mean, Lolita as in Lolita by Nabokov? If Katy Perry has ever read that book I will go out buy a hat and eat it. Bitch please.

It's also totally nonsensical Lolita meets old Hollywood Glam. That's like saying my style is milk meets the ocean, you can't just put two words together and claim it's a style.

@Fate'sBitch: So far it seems to mean "Hello Kitty in an Iron Lung," which, I guess means a certain girlish cutesyness and life before Salk/Sabin.

So she's kind of right, but it doesn't exactly sound like fun.

Speaking as someone who loves both fashion and Michelle Obama: If the economy is still in the crapper when the CFDAs roll around, you can bet your Birkin bag that the First Lady will not show up. I think Michelle Obama and her team know that this would not be so well-received by a lot of people who can't afford Thakoon and Isabel Toledo and don't know if anyone deserves plaudits for wearing that. Look at the fuss made when she wore Gap and H&M. She was "relatable!" I doubt the PR people will want to veer in the other direction.

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): I think you're right. Aside from anything else, I think she's just too sensible for such falderal (yes, it's a word, sarah, I swears it). I mean, look at what she wore to that house building site! She grabbed what was on the chair in her room, added sensible boots, and got in the car. Like a normal person!

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): I was in the Mall at Short Hills last night, and I stopped into J. Crew (where I've never shopped) purely because of Michelle Obama.

Some of the clothes were very pretty, unfortunately when I looked through the racks, it was "zero zero two two two four two four four six four eight" all the way. For everything.

Now, maybe I'm not an expert in retail, but if Michelle Obama is mentioning J. Crew all over the fucking place, don't you'd think they'd stock up on sizes that are a bit bigger than "standard trophy wife"?

Dear J. Crew: I walked over to Ann Taylor and dropped $250 on four tops, where they still believe in a size 12. Have a nice recession, guys!

I remember the days when J.Crew was anything but trendy and ridiculously overpriced. What happened? And I haaaaaaaate huge corporation stores like that (except for Banana) because nothing ever fucking fits me right. Not even tee-shirts.

A makeup bag for $395? Something that will get destroyed when one day, your mascara wand frees itself and draws all over it? Or your lip gloss tube gooes all over everything? YEAH.

Um, I use a Ziploc or the one I bought at CVS, for $4.95, and it does me just fine.

I can't. For Christ's sake.
