When I was a very young girl (almost before the advent of electricity) I saw a movie called The Beast with Five Fingers, somehow the red sandal with the toes poking over the top puts me in mind of that classic horror movie.

Carla easily, next topic.

What? Colbert in his camo dress suit doesn't do it for you? :-)

I agree. Carla is consistently the best.

am i the only one sick of seeing the obamas all over the "style" page? meh...

[Cakey4814]

Just as sick as I am of seeing Carla...

ITA! I'm sick of the Obamas living large on our dime.

The article about how they are back from summer break is offensive. Obama should be working on our problems, and pushing to fulfill his campaign promise for a single-payer or public-option inclusive health-care reform. Instead he's been Mr. Party Boy while Congress put together a health-care reform plan that ONLY benefits big Pharma and insurance companies.

Project Runway is back on TV, and they have a new show that follows each new episode, about the models of PR. Why not have articles about PR, the new designers, Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn? The models, surprisingly, were not all vacuous clothes hangers--why not articles on them?

There are a raft of other runway-related shows, too. Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model has done very well, and, although it can get campy, it would be a great show to feature in a regular column.

I'm sick of the Wanna-Be Rock-Star Obamas.

Just like i'm sick of the soft-porn star Carla and Hilary Moss' obsession with her. To PA and others..Carla will never be the First Lady here..deal with it!!

Michelle's shorts were the summer's best!!!!

[oregonbird]

When I can recognize a woman's frickin' toenails as easily as her morals -- I know too d@mn much about that woman. Yuck.

HA !

I keep expecting that red shod foot to curl up and wither back under the house!
