the FASHION thread

Raye, how and why does a bikini bottom have flaps? I had all sorts of pictures in my head, but I'm pretty sure no of them are right...

Barbe - the top of the bikini bottom has a, for lack of a better word, flap that folds over. Here is a pic of the brown bikini I bought last year - this year I bought the bottoms in black white. The brown on white area of the bikini bottom folds over.

Linora - Thanks for your support!!! My running is definitely improving, which is motivational.

Holy crap Raye, its that you? I've never had thighs like that in my life! You go girl...

I love this thread-you guys make me LOL & it's like the old days when my sisters, friends & I REALLY talked, shopped & walked the fashion walk!!! I remember buying things we couldn't afford by all chipping in & sharing an item we coveted! Somehow we managed to share those things without ever being detected or getting mad at each other--it's a wonder! At that time I DID have a body like that model, but I wanted CURVES & didn't appreciate it!  It was the bra-less era & I rarely went with the trend cuz I was self-consious about my lack of size & wanted the added assitance of a nice bra......My dd now has that bod & I tell her all the time how BEEYOOTIFUL she is (she wants boobs too! LOL) Funny how we sometimes get what we THINK we want, but not in a way we could have imagined! I finally loved my body just as it was; the old wish for bigger boobs long forgotten when it was fulfilled by bc recon-------careful what you ask for!

Beth-----glad it all worked out & you can relax for the next encounter.

AKA-I had 4 wigs that I played around with! WTH--I was bald & who didn't know it?? I went to morning Mass sometimes & the principal of the catholic school told me the kids played Where's Waldo with me at the school masses--they never knew what I would look like from one week to the next! LOL

Check out MSN for golden globe fashions--the critic writes some pretty funny (if far-reaching) descriptions! It's slow moving from pic to pic, but it was a fun few minutes when I had nothing else to do!  I liked that dress Linora posted---it would be fun to see what each of us would do with it if we could change color, pattern, length, accessories ETC-----what a fun computer game THAT would be (probably already exists!!!!)

We have about a foot of new snow & it is  -18 degrees not counting wind chill-no school!

Hugs--you all be well & stay strong 

Most of the ladies did look incredible.

I especially liked Drew Barrymore's look (even with the biggish hair); I thought she looked lovely, as did Sandra Bullock. Yes, Eva Longoria looked stunning. She is just so cuddly cute, but sexy at the same time.

Beyonce is a beautiful girl, but her globes were riding mighty high in my opinion (could be the bilateral talking).

Raye-I say DO IT!   If you do it now you should have it by the 30th day & then you can celebrate by accessorizing! Once you reward yourself you can't back slide or you will loose the chance to wear the reward----I can justify almost ANY purchase!!!! LOL

Gotta say--Heidi Klum, Debra Mesing & a few others should take their stylists to court!!! LOLOL How about that Irish actress-can't remember her name--looked like she was wearing something that use to hang on the back of my grandmother's bedroom door!!!!!! 

Raye, I would definitely buy myself something wonderful.  If you are dreaming of that dress, then just go buy it.  One hundred years from now no one will be concerned that you didn't save the $120 or whatever it was. 

It's 14 below zero here this morning.  Hello, Al Gore.  Well, my fashion statement today is bra, silk cami, fleece top, fleece vest, down jacket and that's only the top half of me!  Furthermost southern parts are covered in heavy duty angora socks and insulated boots.  You can only guess at what is in between............

I always say, go for that secret touch of seduction.  Always keeps 'em panting.

Wool socks here also, brown thin wale cords, green turtle neck with a green fleece cardigan. Temp is up to 16 and the sun is shining at just past noon.   Brrrrrrrrr.   At least no white flakes in the air.

Hi, ladies!  I've missed you.  Been abit MIA due to work, weather, kitty health issues, etc.

Linora, that dress on KK (hey, she has my initials!) is so much like one I just bought, it's amazing, so I had to post a photo here -- I'm not in the dress (don't look as good as the other KK) but it fits very similarly, a bit clingy but demure.  Plus I got a new pair of dark gray fake snakeskin pumps to go with it.  Very nice look, retro, sexy but not flashy.  Love it.  I plan to wear it for Easter with a big, Audrey Hepburn-ish black hat I have.

I looked at the Yahoo links for best and worst dressed of the GG and couldn't really see the difference. I decided that the reviewers were just being paid by certain designers to say their stuff was gorgeous (and some of it was really gaggy) and the other girl's was hideous (and I thought some of it was classy)... what can you say?

16 below this morning and I LOVE my fleece lined Merrill clogs!

Rock: stuff it! It has zoomed up to 5 here; when Misty the Lab and I delivered the neighbors' papers to their doors at 5:30, it was 1~~~downright balmy for saint and doodles!!! It was so cold it woke me up~~~and NOW I'm going to bed.......for awhile. I can wear the new Nick & Nora flannels I got for Christmas~~~with cupcakes on them.  Usually I get too hot, courtesy of Arimidex.
