Torridly in Denial?

I don’t know if Milla of Fashion Sanity has seen this yet, as I’ve utterly foregone blog-reading this summer, but if she has, I’m sure she’d have a bit to say about it considering her own work on fashion inspired by Sweeney Todd: I’m tempted to save for this Mrs. Lovett costume myself – when... »

Fashion Bugs pull out from Major Markets

Fashion Bugs pull out from Major Markets

It’s with a distinct sense of loss that I’ve seen Fashion Bug shutting down stores in major markets in my area. First, it was in Frogtown in Saint Paul – I can’t blame them. Frogtown had to make life rough. Then it was in Seward, and again, I can’t blame them. I’m moving out... »

One of These Things Is not Like the Others…

One of These Things Is not Like the Others…

I was looking through the latest releases from Coldwater Creek for anything new and interesting and I found this: Usually companies warn you before they decide to diversify. Otherwise, this is for a fashion trend I’m not sure I’m comfortable knowing anything about. No judgments, but not details, either, please. On the mod side, they do... »

Out of your league

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Editor’s note: this is the inaugral column of my friend damncutekitty, who is also from Minneapolis. She’s a single plus gal who is on the dating scene and she is far more swingin’ than she realizes. She has amassed a treasure trove of experience dating in the New World, and because dating is the... »

Picks Off of Avenue

Picks Off of Avenue

Avenue.com has been giving me some trouble this summer, mostly in that while I usually like them as an alternative for people leaving Lane Bryant1 their fashion has been a bit…loud print. As far as insistent passive resistance goes, I’ve got to give it to you readers – you know when to say NO,... »

The Body of Romance: Romance Novels and Body Image

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

The Rotund has a great entry on body issues and how women are represented in romance novels. I personally don’t read romance novels, and typically I’ve only read so-called “chick-lit” when the book has somehow been forced into my hand.

Experiencing Fashion Burnout

Monday, July 7th, 2008

At the moment, I’m experiencing fashion burnout. Yes, there’s still plenty out there, but right now, I need a break from fashion and I don’t want to abuse you all with endless Youtube posts and marketing inserts. What I’d love from y’all is the occasional guest post/columnist – so if you’ve got something to... »
