Probably doesn't help that I am the most fashionable person I know who is an addict of CNN. But when you hear about it daily, when it's the topic of discussion from breakfast til your midnight cap..... the fashion industry is listening too. </span><br /><div><div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;">Green is not a colour you see walk down the runways often. It actually is the least flattering, the most unattractive and most unfavored colour by designers for eons. But with people talking Greenbacks it well is something you see daily. So since people are comfortable discussing and seeing this colour as often as they do, why not capitalise on this brings us to Paris runways. Paris is usually the brink of Newness in Fashion. It's the style starting we expect that trickles down into the mainstream markets daily but takes a few years to see. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;">Now I am not talking about your Emerald Green that has graced the pale skin of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Jewel tones have been a staple in the designers repertoire for the past century, I am talking about a pale, pastel kind of American dollar green. This colour has only graced the woman of the world a whole of 2 other times the last century and it was also during a money era. During the recession, green was the colour of choice. It was the working mans colour; woman could easily by greens at their local fabric stores and it was in High demand with the ever growing Industrial revolution and the leftovers of war. Followed by the short lived weird fashion times of the late 50's, when people were procreating Baby boomers, mothers had incomes from the wars, Fathers were going back into the workforce and finances were on the forefront of the consumer. So bring on the Green and let me know if you'll be sporting this colour, I am on the Fence.... I guess the Green plastic kind!!!</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/SbionoPqOlI/AAAAAAAABdg/Ux0fncA--FY/s1600-h/ESaabGreen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312181159254964818" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/SbionoPqOlI/AAAAAAAABdg/Ux0fncA--FY/s320/ESaabGreen.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/Sbio_OtOeKI/AAAAAAAABdo/CR_lYJ3ir9w/s1600-h/ValentinoGreen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312181564716513442" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/Sbio_OtOeKI/AAAAAAAABdo/CR_lYJ3ir9w/s320/ValentinoGreen.jpg" border="0" /></a></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

So when I got my pretty little hands on these products really I couldn't pass a week without letting you all know about them. I have lost a substantial amount of hair, I have always had thin hair just a ton of it, and I don't have time for rollers and blowouts.</span><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;">In comes Sunsilk Daring Volume, I have every product from this collection minus the Shampoo and Conditioner.... but it's all the same. The root spray is the greatest thing right from the first spritz, with half damp hair I could feel my roots lift. Truly a magical product. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311824683792058770" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/SbdkaBqTyZI/AAAAAAAABdY/x0Rug193Sbw/s320/Sunsilk2.jpg" border="0" /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">So with my Vavavoom hair I put in the Leavin Conditioner from the same family and it left a soft silky feeling in my hair without any weight. After enjoying my new products I felt like blow drying my hair and being pretty. And if any product can make you look good and feel good on the inside too it gets my vote!!!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

I have had the privilege of receiving a very FUNTASTIC eyeshadow quad from Cover Girl called Tropical Fusion. When you first set your eyes on this case it might be a smidge jarring, but let me tell you this is the best little bundle of fun and colour that anyone who lives North of the Equator could use to spruce up their ever boring WINTER!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc33cc;">This colour combo takes any one's make up case from Drab to Fab, this little popular makeup quad even has it's own Webtutorials... for every type of colour combo to make you reminisce of fun times on the beach, sipping your Bahama Mama while enjoying Caribbean dancing and Soca playing drums. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Get your hands on this one before you can't find it, you'll thank me.... it's the best bang of 4 colours you'll get for you buck. Work it with your Winter Blacks and Whites, it really will make a night out on the town memorable. I know I'll be wearing it this Weekend!!!</span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

It's the M.A.C. Cosmetics Pigments.</span><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">These pigments are so vibrant and can literally do anything to liven up any form of makeup application. I love just wearing it on it's own, but perhaps those who like to glam it up big time would add it to the works. Don't be surprised when you go and buy it, these little containers are sold by weight not by volume. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">I am a sucker for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kitschmas</span> and Violet (which isn't on the website.) Also loosely based on the same effect is the Glitter. So add some glittering effect into your world, bold shine and stand out with your sparkling ways.</span></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

Not to mention; it's about time I post again, but I will reveal the wheelings and dealings that I have encountered....</span> <div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Biggest Collaboration: Roberto Cavalli for H&M. Why? Because he really is the biggest designer they ever had... he is not Madonna's version of Fashion. This is a big house name with a big style and presence to boot. He brought his trueness to the collection with the same Zebra and Leopard panache that he infuses in his own collections.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">Fashion Celebrity mix-ups.... it seems like Hip Hop doesn't want to do Fashion no more, or at least their interest in it has peaked and the financial bandwagon has given all it has to give, because Jay-Z and Russell Simmons have either completely quit their established companies or are taking less important roles. </span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Biggest Model... put away your big head Daria, your Canadian peers are kicking your butt and they seem to enjoy the industry a tad more than you do. Coco Rocha is not only climbing the corporate ladder stealing campaigns from under you, she doesn't mind still putting her face on the front of a Canadian Mag.</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Biggest Celebrity Fashion disaster... I know most of you are thinking I will print about Britney, but you are wrong a mere 24 year old Amy Winehouse gets the top honour here. Why? Because she looks like a classless person and it ages her wrongly. For someone who is at a such young age to be vibrant less and without any fashion sense PERIOD!! She gets my top honours.</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Funniest line to see in a Discount boutique... The House of Dereon!! Stop touting yourself as a fashion house if I am finding you stuff in a TJ Maxx for not much money period. Your stuff is in the same league as the Apple Bottom purses that sit beside yours.</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">And FAVORITE fashion piece that designers are setting up for S/S 2008..... WHITE JEANS!!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">So bring on 2008, I am planning on making it a year to remember!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

No really, are you trendy? </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Why I ask... because with Fashion in New York over and all the fashionistas putting in their purchases of the newest and most upcoming designs, designers and Spring looks, I wonder who is really trendy.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Correct me if I am wrong... but you are NOT trendy, when you walk around wearing a cute L.A.M.B Sweater, some Christian Dior glasses or even some Chip & Pepper jeans. Why do I say all this. Because I have been thinking about Muses... and their impact on trends that others in the shopping society then go purchase walking around feeling they have made the ultimate trendy acquisition. But excuse me if I offend... you are NOT TRENDY!!! If you bought it in the mall... and it's copied from another piece, if you feel you look like a celebrity wearing it, you are so past your prime to declare fashion trendy and if you look identical to all the other High schoolers/University Students/Abercrombie & Fitch models.... you are NOT Trendy.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">While I get repetitive, I worry about the condition of the Mass shopping droves... who continue to feel they make a fashionable impact purchasing things that Paris Hilton wears, when they walk into the "Popular" store in the mall... when they even get into a line up just so they too can own this funny looking hoodie with Skulls all over it. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Trend: ( my personal point of view) is when you begin a look, a following or a sense of worship. It's being unique enough to cause others to copy. Having trend is to be before those who know it, to start an action that has been slowly starting and making it more of a norm. </span><span style="color:#993399;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color:#993399;"><blockquote><br /><p><span style="color:#993399;">trend <a class="small" href="http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?dict=CALD&key=84721&ph=on">Show<br />phonetics</a>noun [C]1 a general development or change in a situation or in the<br />way that people are behaving:Surveys show a trend away from home-ownership and<br />towards rented accommodation.There's been a downward/upward trend in sales in<br />the last few years.2 a new development in clothing, make-up, etc:Whatever the<br />latest fashion trend, you can be sure Nicki will be wearing it.The trend at the<br />moment is towards a more natural and less made-up look. -</span><span style="color:#cc0000;">Cambridge Dictionaries</span></p><br /><p>Main Entry: 1trend <a href="javascript:popWin(" wav="trend')""></a>Pronunciation: 'trendFunction: intransitive verbEtymology: Middle English, to turn, revolve, from Old English trendan; akin to Middle High German trendel disk, spinning top1 a : to extend in a general direction : follow a general course <mountain>b : to veer in a new direction : <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bend">BEND</a> 2 a : to show a tendency : <a> href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/incline">INCLINE</a> <prices>b : to become deflected : <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shift">SHIFT</a> <opinions>-<span style="color:#cc0000;">Merriam- Webster Dictionary </span></p></blockquote><span style="color:#993399;">So now... as I sit about the trends that keep popping up... watching movies from your computer without downloading them, going Green, blogging even!! Trends have been as old as time, designers have been aware of the inflated egos of the non-famous and that they too need to feel equals.... welcome the Ready-to-wear collections. While the trendsetters shopped the Atelier piece, the Haute Couture collection and have things tailored to themselves.</span><br /><br />Who are the great Trend Setters of the last 100 years... Jackie-O who brought the Pill Box hat to Americans by the way of Halston, Madonna coned shaped bra by the way of Jean Paul Gaultier, Mia Farrow who adopted children from all creeds and nationalities from around the world, Isabella Blow who found the next incredible European designer with gusto and imagination, Oscar De La Renta someone who put pants on a woman when the skirt suit was the only way to be a sophisticated woman. Levi... because you wouldn't wear jeans unless they made them in the first place. Died hair goes to the Kings of France (I know I am dating this) and Make-up that goes to the Pharoah's from Egypt.<br /><br />I can't stand to read another article about someone bringing and making a hair colour popular, a hair style that will be repeated, a make-up application that we've seen before.... until you put Eyeshadow on your chin, you are not creating a TREND!!! It's been done before... you are bringing a TREND BACK... you read it... back!!! You didn't invent it, yes you might cause a following because of it... and most likely some stylist told you, you had to do it like that. But, my dear dear people... you are not trendy!</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

But sometimes the idea just doesn't work.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#993399;"></span><div><div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#993399;">I am a fan of Lindsay Lohan's turn as the face of Jill Stuart and Miu Miu, I love when Louis Vuitton takes a celebrity and makes them memorable in an ad campaign. Loved Madonna for Versace and Nicole Kidman for Chanel. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#993399;">But I am NOT a fan of this season's use of Scarlette Johansson as the face of Louis Vuitton. Why?? Models are models because they fit the bill in every format. When you take an actress and use her for an ad campaign it is because you are using their sense of style. When you go and start morphing their style for the company's agenda you really start to make a mistake. Now you all might be thinking I am pigeon-holing Ms. Johansson... but she is a Vixen and is picked for roles that take on her curvaceous body... her alabaster skin and her ability to morph into a look reminiscent of the Victorian era. </span><br /></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#993399;">But the Valley of the Dolls... she does not!! I hate this campaign with a passion. The outfits are truly terrible, the don't flatter her curvy figure and her skin looks like she suffers from the same issues as Lindsay Lohan... and needs to head herself to a rehab soon. What do you all think?</span></td></tr> </div><br /><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Side note.... I am in love with the Orange dress...

I know I am harping!!! But please people tell me they aren't ever changing the world of fashion and of how we see it. I know you are saying... this is just W's way of paying Homage to a story about a couple who loves each other just as they did for Angelina and Brad... but when you look at these shots they don't look like Celebrity to me... they look like Perfection.<br /><span style="color:#993399;"><br />I know some people are sad that models don't take editorial first in American Magazines, and then I tell you... WHY WOULD THEY??? These two, are sublime to perfection, their visual presence is not like any person in Hollywood. And to be honest, they aren't celebrities persé, this is an Athlete and a Designer savvy Soccer Mommy by all meanings. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">There is a reason why these people are muses, because they rock a photo spread like no others. They are making me want to re-enact the poses... goodness help my husband, because they make me want to Fashion not my wardrobe but my whole life after them.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBJJynYSgI/AAAAAAAABBs/cdRwJBL4h8k/s1600-h/becks_w_073107_01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093651611110623746" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBJJynYSgI/AAAAAAAABBs/cdRwJBL4h8k/s320/becks_w_073107_01.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBJainYShI/AAAAAAAABB0/vETuYWxoThU/s1600-h/becks.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093651898873432594" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBJainYShI/AAAAAAAABB0/vETuYWxoThU/s320/becks.bmp" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBKGSnYSiI/AAAAAAAABB8/Gix-mu9n8eA/s1600-h/becks_w_073107_05.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093652650492709410" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBKGSnYSiI/AAAAAAAABB8/Gix-mu9n8eA/s320/becks_w_073107_05.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBKQinYSjI/AAAAAAAABCE/Q6gQfNncfYU/s1600-h/becks_w_073107_06.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093652826586368562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBKQinYSjI/AAAAAAAABCE/Q6gQfNncfYU/s320/becks_w_073107_06.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBKhinYSkI/AAAAAAAABCM/KQJlXOhe7Eo/s1600-h/beck.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093653118644144706" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RrBKhinYSkI/AAAAAAAABCM/KQJlXOhe7Eo/s320/beck.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

I don't know where to begin other than it's Friday night and your adorably cute friend comes into the house with pants reminiscent of Rhoda... asking me if I like these new baggy, high-waisted pants on her new svelte self? I pondered... why do they make jeans like these. To only realise the 70's are back and in full force. I am not talking about 70s styling that reinforced the over the top of the 80's. I am letting you all know about the kitsch and stylings of the 60s flower child behaviour that flooded over to the 70s with the Extremes. </span><div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Extremes you say... yes, you either wear your jeans Super Skinny... oh yeah we are already doing that... or else you wear them super baggy and super high waisted... and that is knocking at your North American doors people. England has already adorned this look, perhaps Mary Tyler Moore didn't live in their living rooms and remind them of the atrocities that brought on Dynasty. </span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">But can we enjoy the look again... how long will it last? I don't know but not only is it affecting your wardrobe, it's playing havoc in your home decor. But I like it in my house more than on my body. Perhaps this is I displacing my body issues on the stylings that are out there. Do you do 70's. And when is too much nostalgia just plain old Tacky??</span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

Now it got me thinking... does anyone really wear clothing created by celebrities??? </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Jennifer Lopez came out years ago while dating the industrious Sean (P.Diddy) Combs, and created the ever mainstream J.Lo line, it's kitsch apparel that makes me think of Puerto Rican Mamasitas combing through racks to get an item. The worst was her version of the Juicy Track Suit... the J.LO suit caused a flurry of buyers. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Victoria Beckham aka. Posh, she worked together with the label Rock&Republic to create a signature jean collection. I am sure you know which one it is, it's the one with the crowns on all the emaciated females walking around the city. But they had a falling out and please wait by the edge of you seat, because DVB will be coming out soon. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Justin Timberlake made William.Rast. It's actually pretty decent but confused by it's laid back styling that I can't see it fitting in this decades wardrobe savvy. It isn't a logo line, so I don't know how it will compete in the world of Hollister, American Eagle or Abercrombie & Fitch. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Now we all are aware of the clout that Sean John has within the fashion community, right after Tom Ford was given an award for his work with Gucci Homme they honour the likes of P.Diddy with a CFDA award. I have to say his runway show is pretty fantastic, his mainstream threads are abysmal... and please the man made a coat from Raccoon-Dog. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">So do you wear it, do you wear anything a celebrity puts their name on Fashion wise. I just can't put my foot in the sole of a Jessica Simpson shoe, I will never wear a J.Lo pair of shades, House of Dereon is highly overrated- would never want to look like a member of Destiny's Child and really Kimora Lee Simmons herself is getting face time in every celebrity mag, her credibility for Fashion keeps falling and falling. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">So let me know... debate me.... because personally I find all these items SAD. Ohhh don't get me started on L.A.M.B.!!! You need style to present style... so do this make them style aficionados?</span><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Obrw17sYdTk"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Obrw17sYdTk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

And it has me thinking of Street Vendors. Why you ask? I had gone to Mexico in 2003, now the trip wasn't as memorable as one month in the humid/hot province of Veracruz might sound. The shopping was exhilarating!!!<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">The Haggling... ohhh the haggling!!! I realised that I had the gift of bargaining... Ironically I couldn't see myself doing it well in English speaking North America with my head held high. But why was I needing to bargain. It's because I was purchasing like I had a fire in my pocket and my wallet needed to be left behind. Seriously, I fell in love with the eccentricities that was jewelry and accessories from the street merchants. Things that might have looked festive and vacation worthy, but you could bring back home and it not seem like you spent too much time on holidays.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">I don't mean buying those tsotchkes that read tourist all over them. I am talking about really merchants who are trying to sell to their own people. Some artisan work, that looks a little more modern over matronly. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Why am I telling you all about this... so that you yourself can go holidaying this year while being your own personal trend hunter. Find the next big thing, wear it and feel proud that you could have bought the same inspirational piece in which designers world over have used as a platform to start a collection. So if you aren't into Vintage... as I am NOT! Please feel free to get out of the box, travel to another country and shop the local merchants. You'll be surprised what you might find!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

I had been a voice for people needing to have style no matter what physical condition they are in. But there is one comment I can no longer listen to and stand aside without making a point to correct some. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">I have on many many occasions heard this sentence... "Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14." Playing devil's advocate I truly didn't question it much... I didn't think it was all that true but her curvaceous figure could have caused for some odd measurements that in this day and age would be perhaps a larger woman. Until I was watching a program on TV, regarding Plus Size clothing and that women in N. America are averaging a size 14 and Marilyn Monroe was considered a size 16. Too which, I just couldn't stand it!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Marilyn Monroe was a curvy woman, busty to an extreme in her heyday! Not an athletic body at all, her curves left much to be desired to the women who are film stars this day. But what were her measurements truly? After a bit of research... which really wasn't that hard, I bring you the real Marilyn Monroe. </span><br /><div><div><div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#993399;"><blockquote><span style="color:#993399;">Height: 5 feet 5 1/2 inches<br />Weight: Varied, 115 - 120<br />lbs.<br />Measurements: 37-23-36 (Studio's Claim); 35-22-35 (Dressmaker's<br />Claim)<br />Hair color: Blond Eyes: Blue</span></blockquote></div><div><div>These are her official measurements... I bring you a sizing chart. Why because you can do the comparison yourself. But look this is not no plus size female. A waist that not only is small in everyday standards, she would wear an XXS if she was present to see that size exist. </div><div><br />So please, people who want to promote Plus Size clothing, it's important that all woman are given the right to wear clothing, that is comfortable, fashionable and classic looking without demoralising the character of someone who has no one to speak for them. </div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RpWp3XxteNI/AAAAAAAABAs/L_xLk4zdnbg/s1600-h/size.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086158122925258962" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7DAgv26gYVI/RpWp3XxteNI/AAAAAAAABAs/L_xLk4zdnbg/s320/size.bmp" border="0" /></a></div></span></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

I like to see the colour up close and personal. But I know some of my closest friends who will buy anything online, from store browsing online to Ebay. But I think I am a window shopper of the Internet world. Nothing can stop me from browsing. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">So what do I love to browse through? I am a new addict of the independent online boutique of <a href="http://www.paper-doll.com/">Paper-doll</a>. What I like that they have, I love the collection of I Clothing that they carry, and of course House of Spy. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">So if you venture out and shop online, here are some great pieces that will bring you more options then your local mall.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

I am a facebook addict, I must check my facebook acct. more than I do my own email acct. I keep the page open and refresh throughout the day, of course I get to do so because I am at home and not confined to my desk at work. </span><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">So this weekend I had the privilege to read an article in the <a href="http://www.thestar.com/article/231008">Toronto Star</a> about how the city of Toronto boasts the most Facebook participants worldwide. Personally I believe it has a lot to do with the winter months boredome that drove us all onto it, at least that is what did it for me. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">Type in the word Facebook in Google and watch the plethora of information that will come to you. From bloggers blogging about the workings of Facebook, some how it's an invasion of privacy, and others who are in attempts of boycotting it because well they call it Creepy!! But let's be serious... how else can you find old elementary school friend, get an update instantaneously and see picture in a grouping without having to open large attachments. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">I read in a computer savvy blog that they think Facebook is the Social- RSS feed. Think of it as a news ticker, the stock exchange for social activity. So is this the future of computerization. Everyone knows the business you want them to know, they see the pics you want them to see, and they know your relationship status because you posted a change to your profile. </span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Facebook- Invasion of privacy, or personal tabloid fodder about yourself to your social group??</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe width="160" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0;"

I ask this because I can't really see myself put on my Red and White and walk around not thinking I am a mommy and I dress to impress my kids not the general fashionista in me. I am hoping to get in a Fifa World Cup Under-20 game this month and would like to wear a flag fashionably, is it really possible?</span> <span style="color:#993399;"><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Well in light of the last MMVA's here in Toronto at the Much Music Headquarters, our considered Canadian sweetheart (who really calls L.A. home)Avril Lavigne was wearing Canadian gear. I can't help but think when I see a Canadian flag attached to anything but a flag post that the person is a tourist backpacking through Europe. Perhaps we don't have the Patriotic flare that Americans do, maybe we all don't wear our country on our sleeve. But is it ever cool to wear your country's flag as fashionable garb.
