Want new clothes? Host a Clothing Swap

For most of us the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 has not been much of a shopping year. With people losing their jobs at a rapid pace and everyone else fearing they will, most of us are holding onto our money as tight as can be. So how does the fashion forward reccesionista deal. One of the best ways to get new stuff without spending a dime is to host a clothing swap.

Susie Essman needs to Look in the Mirror

ently she appeared on “The view” to promote the movie. When asked by Joy Behar “So what did you learn about the chasisdic religion?” Essman replied “Well they’re not very good dressers, have you seen what some of these women look like half the time?” I would like to tell you something Susie Essman take a look in the mirror, because you surely are not anything special. Not only that but to make such a generalization that an entire group looks bad? That’s a bit rich. Especially since on the whole chabad women are some of the hottest orthodox women. the funny part is the only outrage that anyone will express is within the orthodox community. Unlike when Don Imus made derogatory remarks, and every media outlet jumped on him, no one will say boo. no one will say it but Susie Essman is guilty of ethnic stereotyping. Jews have been called ugly for thousands of years and no one cares. If anyone called a muslim ugly for wearing hijabs they’d be bashed and berated the world over. ( I don’t think hijab’s are ugly btw and I think many arab women in Hijabs are beautiful, it’s just an example.)

I Hate Mondays!

At around ten o’clock at night on Sundays I usually realize that the next day is Monday. This usually puts me into a crappy mood at the prospect of having to go to work the next day and deal with all the usual fun stuff. This Monday was particularly annoying. Since I’m getting my brows waxed tonight for the first time in a hundred years I decided to dress up for the eyebrow waxer.

Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.

For those of us who are fans of old movies and glamour most of us can vividly picture Marilyn in her pink taffeta gown belting out every girl’s favorite catchphrase “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”. Marilyn is of course dripping in diamonds the kind that a girl can only hope to own. Here’s a little known secret you can. How you say? Those diamonds cost thousands of dollars and I’m a working girl on a limited budget. The funny thing is none of Marilyn’s diamond jewelry was real it was all paste. If paste can look that good why not wear it.

Le Smoking A Tribute We Should All Be Wearing.

I bought this fabulous cloche with feathers and tulle and it inspired me to wear the hottest tribute this season the fitted tuxedo jacket popularized by the late great Yves Saint Laurent who passed away a few months ago. According to the December issue of Glamour the new night out cover up is no longer the eponymous pashmina but the ultra chic le smoking.

The Evolution of My Hair….

I am one of those people who does not believe in rocking a single look but rather many. Some days I want to be glamour, some days I want to be goth and some days I want to just be plain old jeans and a t-shirt. It’s one of the reasons I love fashion every year it evolves what was old is reinvented and made new and dying your hair can do the same. When I would change my hair color somehow I could be totally different.
