FASHIONABLE OR FUGLY? PHARRELL WILLIAMS

worlwide - me? i say uber fashionable. what say you?

IS THIS TREND SO WRONG IT'S RIGHT? OR SO RIGHT IT'S WRONG? OR JUST DEAD WRONG: "MANTYHOSE"

worldwide - okay. so it has a catchy name, and at first blush it sorta makes sense. panty hose are an important staple in every woman's wardrobe, so why not make it so in everyman's wardrobe....and then i think twice. i am not really into it. what do you think? feast your eyes on the picture guide on how men should wear hose. i got from randomgoodstuff.com.

IS THIS FASHIONABLE OR FUGLY: $100 BOTTLED WATER

worldwide - so i am starting to become extremely anti-swarovski (unless they want to pay for the remainder of my college education.) here's why: for some reason this swarovski is becoming short hand for high end. whenever denim brands, or make up companies slap these man-made crystals on products they seem to think the product is now automatically chic , or at least market it that way. the latest victim of this train of thought is fillico luxury spring water. this company, which retails bottled water, is selling each bottle for $100 usd a piece. the only difference between this and your bottle of poland spring? a fancy bottle which is topped by a swarovski crystal cap. oh, and the name is carved on the bottle with gold paint. and the head crack? only 5,000 bottles are made each year. can someone please spell out lame on a postcard, with swarovski crystals of course, and send it to these people?

FASHIONABLE OR FUGLY? MARY KATE OLSEN

front view...

side view...

back view....but eitiher way you look at it, is this outfit dead wrong? (hugs to olsen-files.com for photo)

new york - so mk wore this outfit yesterday evening at the new yorkers for children charity ball. i am still in the process of deciding what i think. on one hand, i really respect her choice to always make a statement and not simply try to look "cute," or "sexy." yet on the other hand, i wonder exactly what statement she is attempting, is it " baggy" and "sacklike?" this dress and look actually isn't horrible. but as a fitnista ( i am becoming fanatical about properly fitting clothes) i believe it's not for her body frame. but what do you think?

SO BAD IT'S GOOD? OAKLEY'S NEW HEAD GEAR

okay oakley. okay. (big hugs to complex for photo.)

usa - okay. so would you wear this? more importantly, would you buy this? even more important, would you pay $750 for this set. my personal answer is no. but i am beyond curious to know who would do all three. oakley, which is traditionally known and loved, for it's traditional sun glasses had decided to wade in the world of the weird with this new offering. it is a combination of a medusa head hat for $500 USD and medusa goggles for $250 usd. but the site of seeing someone other than a model in this haute mess? priceless.

FASHIONABLE OR FUGLY? THE "NEW" SKINNY JEANS

blayreport correspondent, zeba, forwarded me these pics from an online
community she is part of, so i have no idea where these pics are from, who makes these jeans or where you can buy them. but seriously, would you want to know? allegedly, these denims are supposed to be a variation of super popular, super skinny jeans. so, as you see, it still has a skinny silhouette, but it's slightly baggier, creating a new - but not so refreshing look. so what's your take? fashionable or fugly?
