WickedCats - We will pray for you. That college is obviously a cult of some sort.

Apparently that cult is in my town too. People wear flip flops when its snowing. You have to be pretty lazy to do that.

Thank you, JM. I'm glad I'm blessed by the fashion gods. Also, the manpris were white (gags). White pants are one thing, but white manpris are a whole 'nother species. They are the mutant sibling of the cargo short.

I actually like the simplicity of the Gap and their clothes fit me well, but their line for men is just way over the top.

It is so nice to hear from people who know about style. Mister Matt, I never would have taken you as a fashionista.

Fashionista? Me? Just sensible.

Sensibility is key in being fashionable. If fashionable people were not sensible everyone would be walking around in midriff tops poochin' out their dougnut holes and wearing poorly designed sandals with jeans or (even worse) with dress pants. The world would be chaos. I still consider you fashionable.

While we talk about clothes we hate, I hate shirts that say things on them like "I Lie to Girls" and "My boyfriend told me to be more affectionate so now I have two boyfriends". Thank the fashion gods that the pants with "bootylicious" on the butt are disappearing. If I had to see one more fat girl in a "bootylicious" anything, I think I would have to stab my eyes out with a fork.

Which do you think is worse, mini skirts with big ugg boots or pants with flip flops?

Fashionable = Sensible????? Not in NYC!!!

You have to have sense when mixing colors and knowing what cuts go with each other. You have to know what shoes go with each style of pants and skirts. It takes sense to know what looks good and what looks stupid.

High fashion (runway material) and every day wear are two different breeds. High fashion is an art form and what we wear every day can be artistic but is played down for practicality.

I know the difference between Couture and Ready-to-Wear.

The thing is, I know and have seen people dressed as if they just stepped off of a runway. Take a walk down 7th Ave. in the 30s, or a stroll thru the halls at FIT.

I was only saying that it requires some sensibility to dress well. I'm not talking practicality exactly. High heels are not practical but I wear them all the time. I just think it takes some sense to put an outfit together. In Couture clothing people there at least have a sense of line, shape, flow, and fit. I didn't say the above to insult your intelligence. I just think it takes sense to know what looks good.

The week before my senior year started, a letter was sent out to everybody on the new dress code: No flip flops. And students who wore flip flops would be sent home for the res of the week.

So, we all went barefoot. :)

On topic, though, I always liked my Doc sandals. They went with everything. Too bad Journey's has gone all non-Doc and all punk. gah. Where can one find a good pair of Docs?

Love4Cheno - Wasn't that guy passed over for the role of Noxeema in Too Wong Fu?

Lea - Uggs or flops? That's a tough call. I would have to say the Uggs go first. It's like wearing a parka with Jams. Not only is it ugly, but completely illogical.

Lea- I wasn't insulted! I must have misinterpreted what you were saying.

Matt- Seriously! That guy is WAY TOO MUCH SASS.

I can't wear most flip flops. I always make ridiculous amounts of noise in the tiny straped ones and can't walk fast at all.

I like wearing silk flats. I have a really pretty red pair that I got in Haight Ashbury. They're comfortable and practical (I can walk forever in the city), and I always seem to get compliments when I wear them.

Bermuda shorts only look right on some people, and even then they don't look particularly good.

C_O, flip flops were banned at my high school too. Along with midriff tops, sheer clothes, and inappropriate shirts but did the rules ever stop anyone?

I used to be sooooooo scared to be in Haight Ashbury, Blair. The burned out hippies scared the hell out of me.

Bermuda shorts just sound like they are for old people, you dont even have to look at them.

Anyone else happy that Uggs are pretty much out now? I never could see myself in shoes my dad wears when he goes surfing.

Does anyone know where you could find manpris so we can burn every pair in existance? If I see a man in clogs next I think I'll loose it. They are ugly enough on women, let alone on men.

Oh I can talk fashion for hours. . .

Ugh to the Uggs.....but I'd prefer them to the flops with long pants.

Thankfully, we are moving on to fall, so I believe most manpris can be found at the back of the stores in the clearance racks. I won't tell.

Unfortunately, because I work at a place that sells and encourages the flops and crap....I must view them daily in meetings and around my cubicle, worn by "executives" in our company.

It's sick and wrong and must be stopped.

This is what happens to you when you wear Uggs.

You've been warned.

Picture didn't show.

But I can picture some nasty feet, if I have to. Nasty feet with blisters, and corns, and it's just not pretty.

[Love4Cheno]

Posted: 7/14/05 at 2:42pm

Oh, its effects are more far-reaching than just the feet!

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:13pm

Scary. It looks like Cameron Diaz.

[Love4Cheno]

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:30pm

It is. Without her makeup artist and stylist. Scary, indeed.

[Aigoo]

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:37pm

What does she have growing on her nose?

[Love4Cheno]

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:43pm

It's not a growth. It's Mary-Kate Olson taking a nap.

[Beergoggles]

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:47pm

she has bad skin... is it a crime?

[Love4Cheno]

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:50pm

When you make $20 million a picture for how you look, yes.

Maybe if she were a nice person it would help. But she's not.

Posted: 7/14/05 at 3:51pm

She's nice enough to "go to bed with" Justin Timberlake, and that's nice enough for me.

i don't care about her personality... i'm shallow lol
