Note the body types though. Spot any differences?I cannot believe in 2009 we still have to vomit our guts out, or slice off half our abdomens to fit into crappy clothes designed for holocaust victims. It's not just ...

- So you go to the farmers' market to buy produce, drink organically grown fair trade coffee, and listen to indie music. Are you really going to wear a little dress mass produced by desperate children in developing nations? It's cheap, sure, but doesn't it make you feel an itsy bit dirty? Do clothes have karma or do you just feel better when you know the person who made them? Are ...

- Why does he document himself aging? Every five years he makes a mould of his face, fills it with 10 pints of blood. The sculptures are then kept in a box filled with silica and chilled to minus 18 degrees Celsius to prevent them from turning to liquid. Precious. An ode to life frozen and afraid of flowing like the warmth of life-giving blood. British artist Marc Quinn says, “I think I’m more ...

- She exposed pink underwear worn under a short black leather kimono. Japan’s finalist for the Miss Universe, Emiri Miyasaka, caused a bit of a storm in the preliminaries. Is the reaction prudish? I think not. I am often amused by how these beauty pageant winners are termed ambassadors of nations. We send a young woman from our country after she has won the title at home, she is trained and ...

- Fashion needs risk takers. If somebody hadn’t dared to wear the first bikini we’d all still be treading the proverbial waters in our woolen swimsuits. The trouble is some fashions have serious consequences. And we don’t just mean photographic evidence of that micro mini fiasco coming back to haunt you on Facebook. We’re talking permanent damage.

- "What's the matter with you," Sona asked with a twinkle, "you don't like to go shopping?" She was referring not only to my near-disastrous adventure in the world of bridal couture, but the fact that--get this--I'd also arranged to have a pair of shoes custom-made for my wedding outfit...once again sight unseen, an utter leap of faith.

Yes, it's a weird color...but it fits and it feels wonderful (all satiny on the inside, with a gorgeous lining)...best news of all is that I have had my last fitting. I've heard the final version is being sewn today.Amy's niece Melissa's dress is gorgeous, very sexy 1930's ...
