    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: I have too! I bought a bunch of it at once, like 5 years ago, because they had things packaged together and then they were buy one get one free, and they were cheap. It was good makeup, especially the lip gloss. I used everything until they were done and I still have the dark brown eyeliner.

    It is a little embarrassing. One of my friends peeked in my makeup bag and was like "I didn't know you were a Mary Kate and Ashley fan" #zoekravitz

    I have very strong opinions about Eileen Fisher. I worked in a boutique that sold her things when I was in college and, regardless of the "image" she's going for (fuck, it's fashion), she IS a godsend to a lot of women. If you can sell a cute pair of linen drawstring pants in XS to a 19 year old like me and dress a size 22 who is 50 and a professional, you're doing something right.

    Fisher's ads feature a pretty wide range of women (ages, races and yes, sizes). She doesn't need to target the plus-size market because they already flock to her.

    Also, Rosie bugs me. Does Donna Karan go for a plus size image? No. #ragtrade

    @Penny: It's not my kind of style, but Eileen Fisher clothing seems to be very well made. Many of the brands catering to plus sizes seem to be very cheaply made.

    If I go to a higher end department store and look at plus sizes, the style is very dowdy and matronly. There are young, plus size women who have the money to buy nice things.

    @Penny: I agree about the designs -- I actually love some of Eileen Fisher's pieces. (Most of them I stole from my mum, but you know.)

    However, it is true the company is consciously chasing a younger "hipper" customer -- they certainly collaborated with a Times article stating same -- and that strikes me as foolish.

    And if Fisher herself said what O'Donnell reports, to her very face, that is just downright mean.

    @Jenna: I agree. I'm not one to ditch good design willy nilly, but Fisher's rudeness to a happy, loyal customer tells me I shouldn't express any more gratitude to Eileen Fisher with my hard-earned money because clearly my fat behind insults her business.

    Famous person talking about and wearing your clothes = great advertising. Famous person telling fans how rude and ungrateful clothing designer is = bad advertising. That's how social media works, lady. #zoekravitz

    The Alexander shoe looks like a covered stiletto platform, but honestly, the design could quite easily be similar to what I've been seeing in fetish circles for years:

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: That's what my boyfriend thinks. I, however, feel that the foot must sit a little lower — since in all the pics, it looks like the thinnest part of the leg, ie slightly above the ankle, is right equal with the top of the shoe. The heel of the foot, according to my theory, would sit somewhere near where the stiletto meets the back of the shoe. You follow? #katemossfortopshop

    @Jenna: You know, looking at the picture, I think the line I drew more accurately represents where the top line of a regular heel would be. Meaning, the foot would actually sit lower than the line. I think you are right. I would still like to see a cross section though, I think it probably has teeny tiny unicorns in the sole.

    I was just surprised that Ivanka's dress didn't have Trump gold logos all over it. Though I am sure to make up for that indiscretion, Papa Trump make sure the dinner consisted of Trump steaks, with Trump Parlor ice cream, followed by cocktail hour featuring Trump vodka. #katemossfortopshop

    @Tchotchke: it was lovely; I agree....dare I hope for a return to dresses with sleeves? We boobless chicks do not have the means to really fill out those strapless dresses. If a dress doesn't drape from the shoulder, surely it must hang off the breastline...

    @JayBird: The thing about strapless dresses is that there is a bell curve regarding the breast sizes that they work well on. This is largely due to that apparent lack of decent, supportive strapless bras for women with something larger than a B/small C cup.

    For what it's worth, my mother is a bridal consultant, so her job is basically to pick out wedding gowns for other brides. According to her, the strapless dress is slowly falling out of favor because most brides don't want to look like all their friends and bridal fashion is headed into a slightly more demure direction. #katemossfortopshop
