I’d be scared to touch it

Armadillo Handbag $13.69

WTF? Are they serious? It’s a roadkill! Who would in their right mind buy this bag? There’s even a head and a tail. I hope people who buy it use it as a party gag gift. Or you could get it for your co-worker who you don’t like in a “secret senta” gift exchange.

Scandalous top!

Who knew Nicole Richie actually has boobs. Put on a bra, Nicole! A cute lacy one if you want to look racy. But if you are trying to convince people you’ve gained a little weight, this is not the way. Celebs in L.A. just aren’t into wearing underwear huh?

Rumor has it that for the 4th season of Simple Life, Nicole and Paris are playing camp counsellors…at a fat camp!? I’m sure it’s going to piss some people off. But obviously they want it that way.

A little showy much?

Irregular Choice - Flamenco 3043-12 A (Pale Yellow Suede) $120.56.

Well, this shoe is really really busy. Sure I love my shoes glamorous and with lots of embellishments once in a while. But not like this. If you really look at it, none of the decorative pieces on it belong together. If you take away the big orange flower, the black leaves, and the elastic slingback, the shoe might look ok. Well, at least it is appropriately named — irregular indeed. Maybe I’m too conservative in my taste and maybe there’s a girl out there rocking this shoe. Meh.

Funny T-shirts

As much as I love to dress up, I also love a good t-shirt with funny/smartass expressions. I get into the t-shirt and jeans mood quite often. Now that I can’t wear graphic shirts to work, I can only wear it on weekend. That really reminds me of my college days when I put one on. In school you can put on the most outrageous shirt and you look cool. They are a lot of fun, and they make great gifts. Boyfriends especially love them.

Funny T-Shirts, Inc. has a ton of them. I’m thinking of getting this one for my guy ’cause he’s part Irish.
Irish Today Hungover Tomorrow T-Shirt $14.95

I think I should get one of them for myself just for shits and giggles.
Future Milf T-Shirt $14.95

Drama Queen T-Shirt $14.95

Rehab is for quitters T-Shirt $14.95

Quoting Plagarism T-Shirt $14.95

Jesus Is Coming T-Shirt $14.95

Scary feet on the runway

Woah!! These are beautiful shoes. BUT the feet in them…MERCY!

Holy old leathery wrinkley foot! It probably belongs to a girl who’s not even 20. Too much fake bake and not enough exfoliating and moisturizing? I’m sure walking the runway is a hard job day in and day out, that poor foot could really use some good care (I’m not being sarcastic :p). And the gnarly knuckles…but that’s not her fault.

A toe hanging over the bottom of a sandal really irks me. It is just not attractive and lady-like, not to mention uncomfortable. (I see that in the summer more often than I like. The worst is when all 5 toes going over the edge…like talons). And I always assumed that models must have pretty pedicure. Well, these nails aren’t pedicure-d. And I don’t think her leg’s shaved either.

Bikini Boot Camp

It’s a little early to talk about bikini season…or is it? As trite as it sounds, a lot of people will still tell you that their New Year resoluation is to lose weight/get in shape/go to gym regularly. I also signed up for Goodlife Fitness club for the entire year (I do like their yoga class). More importantly, I just want to get some exercise and get away from my laptop more, I spend TOO much time in front of my laptop. Anyway, there’s this article about Bikini Boot Camp in the Toronto Star today. If you live in Toronto, you can get into this program. I don’t know if it’s North-America wide, but apparently “…celebrities like Heidi Klum have jumped on the bikini boot camp bandwagon, espousing the benefits of similar hardcore weight-loss programs.” The article compares the Bikini Boot Camp with actual army’s basic training in various categories. I especially like the category Disobedience.

Boot camp punishments are a thing of legend, myth and secrecy. It takes a certain kind of person to have enough patience to clean out a latrine with a toothbrush, or to cut a lawn with scissors.

Well, I’d definitely do all my reps at home for some free Lululemon stuff and facials, massages and manicures. That’d be motivation enough for me.

So do you have any new year resolutions regarding your health and fitness? I’d love to hear about it, leave a comment

Guy’s perspective

When I browse the Internet for new clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, I like to ask my hubby “what do you think of this?” when I see something interesting/pretty/cute/funny/outrageous/etc., he always has something funny to say. You really know that when it comes to fashion, men and women truly think differently. Whether I agree with him or not, I always get a good chuckle.

Here’s what he thought of this shoe when I was looking at shoes (I’m always looking at shoes). I said I must share this with my fashionista friends.

When I first saw these style of shoes I thought “What the Fuck.” I assumed they were for women who had (through means of a genetic mutation) a ridiculous long middle toe. Apparently that’s not the case and women choose to actually wear these things for “fashion.” My first thought is “Wicked Witch of the West.” The crazy-pointy style just makes me think “witch” for some reason. Sometimes it also brings to mind some type of segmented flying insect like a hornet or a wasp. Needless to say I find this style ugly, I really can’t justify it more than that. Did I mention I’m allergic to wasps?

Strapless bra…it’s a tricky thing

(source: NY Times).

Have you decided on what to wear for New Year’s Eve? I’m thinking of wearing one of my black strapless cocktail dresses, which will require a strapless bra. Over the years I’ve bought so many that don’t work. Finally I bought one at La Senza that cost an obscene amout but it’s actually pretty good and secure. I also have a NuBra, which stays up but is not the most comfortable thing to wear, and it’s a pain to peel it off. I only wear it when the dress is very low-back or backless. I think most of us don’t like to wear strapless bras, but we like strapless dresses, so we keep searching for the perfect strapless bra. New York Times has this interesting article about strapless bras. An Annual Letdown: The Strapless Bra.

From nipple covers that resemble baby jellyfish to stick-on bras that look like rubber yarmulkes, today’s high-tech designs are reusable, lightweight and often more comfortable and natural looking than traditional strapless bras, particularly when worn under sheer or thin fabrics. But they are about as sexy as surgical bandages or, as more than one woman put it, chicken cutlets. Removing one in front of a lover conjures cooking with Paula Deen, not the romance of French lace.

Haha! Isn’t that the truth?

Guitar face or O-face?

Well…this one doesn’t have anything to do with fashion, but I had to post it ’cause it’s hilarious!

“The disheveled mane and squeezed-shut eyes. The sweaty brows and parted lips. Without the audio cues, some emotive rockers bear an uncanny resemblance to porn stars. Take a closer look at these facial acrobatics and see if you can tell who’s nailing a solo and who’s straining to deliver a big finish.”
Go to Men.Style.com to see you can guess if each picture is a rock star or a porn star. It’s fun!!

(Can you tell who it is in the picture? Got me fooled.)
