Heidi who? The only one I would recognize is Klum. The one in the before and after pic should shoot her plastic surgeon.

Okay how can you have the guts to make fun of a purity ring? It has meaning and symbolism and I really can't believe anyone would make fun of it and call it a trend.

Models fall on the runway during every Fashion Week, it's not a trend, it's a fact and a fashion writer should know that.

I love high heels, they are a short girl's best frend.

Yes, maybe, but they are terrible for your feet. You can stand tall in good shoes and walk properly.
Your feet will thank you when you're older.

You have to admit some of them are "let's have a contest to see who can create the ugliest shoe in the world and then lets stick a 6 in. heel on it and charge a ton for them". Next thing you know, all of Hollyweird are wearing them and then we think we should have them. C'mon! Let's please think for ourselves in '09.

I love the boyfriend jeans and the uber preppy style. The rest of it just sucks!

The pictures I just reviewed of these girlfriends with boyfriend jeans on look as though they need a bath. They look outhouse smelly.

That was tacky uber-preppy. Check out J Crew. They have great stuff!

I agree. The "Gossip Girl" style was one of the few interesting fashion trends of last year. I hope more young people embrace bow ties and fitted jackets. It's classy and reminiscent of a bygone era.
Also, the boyfriend pant looks good. I'm so glad the super tight everything trend is gone, when all you could find in the stores were jeans that fell below the waist and shirts above the waist.

AMEN! I'm not fat and I'm not skinny - I fall right in the middle, which I'm quite pleased with, however, I HATED this period of constantly trying to stretch my clothes so that my stomach and a$$ weren't on show.

Not all women want to look like hookers, believe it or not.

Agree, also boyfriend jeans are just so damn comfortable.

Love the boyfriend jeans

Raul Paul has the real talent. He is a 6 foot male who has the talent to entertain as a beautiful female. Back in the the disco era, he dance too.

'What would real women do ?'
Real women have a life and don't need all this pathetic stuff.

As best I know, there is no animal as a real woman in America. They died off years ago.

The propaganda for over 400 years would not allow a real woman to live that long.

When I saw those shoes, I fell out laughing because they remind me of that Wayans movie "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka". They're almost exactly like the platform shoes with the goldfish swimming in the bottom of them that the pimp was wearing when he got out of jail. He'd been in jail so long that he didn't realize that nobody wore platform shoes anymore.

I guess that the Wayans 'borrowed' that look from Rick James of Parliament Funkadelic. I went to a concert for that group way back in late '70's, & Rick James came out with goldfish swimming in his platforms - very funny & hip FOR THE DISCO ERA.

I am thrilled that Michelle Obama is a tall woman instilled with common sense. I have finally been able to find some flats that are stylish and comfortable - I can't wear heels anymore cuz of broken ankle.

Rick James ? or do you mean George Clinton or Bootsy of Parliament Funkadelic ?

Rick James was never a part of the Funkadelic Parliament Thang

Yes, the wild flowers shoved in the ankle are silly, but the shoe is Innovation as far as shoes go.
Oh well. ( IMO I hope we never go back to the barefoot age.)

That is what happens when you are too short.....

You either look 5 inches or more taller or break an ankle if you are unlucky...­..

Yes, if only...
Unfortunately most people are happiest trying to imitate someone else instead of being original.

I keep seeing Jodie Marsh described as a 'glamour model'. Ugly, amatuerish tattoos all over her arms and huge new boobs paid for by a lads mag - she's about as far removed from glamour as it's possible to get!

I have a shoe fetish so I so love those clear hooker/stripper shoes to no end.......
