Oooh. Now I kinda wish that I didn't sell my Project Runway Nick Verreos barbie on ebay for way too much money. Now she could have a smackdown with the Heidi Barbie.
Any thoughts on the Sea of Shoes styles? To me (no fashion expert), they look like they've been done and like they'd hurt. Meh.
What I'd love to see (from anyone) is more styles that make comfort less dowdy. Taryn Rose started something, and I wish more designers would run with it. I don't want to have to pick between comfort and style.** Or am I dreaming?
I was always of the opinion that Jennifer Lopez could have been a great actress, if she concentrated on acting, and not on designing ugly clothes and making bland, generic Top 40 music. Instead she spread herself out way too thin; she is not really great at any one thing, and everybody is sick of her.
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Oh no, she's terrible at acting, too. Selena is the one outlier. Everything else--awful. Need I remind you of The Wedding Planner? Made in Manhattan? Gigli?
@thelawschooldropout: I disagree. She was very good in Selena and Out of Sight-- both of which came out before she tried to be a jack of all trades. All the movies you mentioned are after the clothing lines and albums. When you try to do everything under the sun, something is going to give.
I can't understand "Sweetface" when we all know it's actually "Sexyface". I mean I can't even look at her without a banner popping up in my mind that says OMGSEXXXXYFACE MY FACE WANTS TO SEXXX YOU.
That Jennifer Lopez outfit is more of what I envisioned would happen when Alice drank the "drink me" potion. I mean, her clothes wouldn't get bigger, too!
If that picture is any example, I can't believe that JLo's clothing line was unsuccessful. How else am I to achieve sexy-face-blow-up-doll-trampy-becrinolined-business-suit look now??
My podiatrist actually told me to eschew Crocs, because despite the fact that they are very squishy, they don't have much solid support, and they can actually exacerbate some arch problems.
@tscheese: Mine did as well. I've had surgery on both feet to straighten the first metatarsals after a bone infection. I'm fortunate since heels don't seem to bother me at all as long as they are made well and fit properly, but he did give me several rules to follow for life.
1. No heels when I'm in a situation that calls for lots of standing/walking
2. No flats without support for my very high arches
3. No Crocs. Ever. He suggested Birkenstocks instead because they have much better support.
A "contemporary" price point? I'm not at all sure how that's supposed to suggest a monetary value, but I suppose my wardrobe hits more of a "back-in-my-day-you-could-get-a-loaf-of-bread-for-a-nickel" price point.
I didn't think it was possible for me to love Tim Gunn any more. I was so, so wrong. My inner five year old is throwing a violent, expletive-laden tantrum that I can't go have tea and fasun advice hour with him.
@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: Also, count me in on the puzzlement re: celebrity perfumes. I really only want to smell like myself. My own personal bouquet, if I may. Well, let me edit that: I smell best in the morning, when I get out of the shower and dry my hair. When my butt smells fresh and my hair doesn't have the enticing aroma of sebum and cigs floating around it like a nicotine-stained halo. Oh and does anyone else love the smell of their own and their significant others bed pillows? I wouldn't mind smelling like that.

That said, I secretly love several of her songs. Don't tell anyone.
