You might trap it and have it fixed --- although some Toms will spray even after being neutered. 13948. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 8:21:13 PM Thanks pp...no wonder the guys were ogling! Yow that's a real barbie doll dress!
I was delighted to see the women looking so glamorous for the most part. So much better than the days of heroine-chic! 13949. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 8:25:29 PM I guess it was kate winslet I was thinking of.

I have a dress just like this one, except the belt is half the size than it is on this photo and the color is a tad darker--do you like it, thoughtful? 13952. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 8:45:02 PM It's luscious! And it looks incredibly comfortable.
Though I think I'd wear a bra... 13953. Magoseph - 2/28/2005 9:00:25 PM Yes, well, of course--I couldn't show myself without one anyway. 13954. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 9:42:26 PM It's also interesting to see how pale the women were. I guess the aging/skin cancer/damaging effects of the sun are finally catching up with the fashion world. It's taken about 80 years to get past coco chanel's tanning emphasis.
13955. ronski - 2/28/2005 9:46:48 PM How do women manage not to step on long dresses? Short, purposeful steps? 13956. PelleNilsson - 2/28/2005 9:52:16 PM They float. 13957. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 10:16:21 PM As you step forward, your foot will kick the fabric out in front of you, if you're careful, so as not to step on the hem.
I remember flipping channels and coming across one of those runway shows. The floor was extremely shiny and the models were wearing really high platform shoes. I remember thinking to myself how impossible it must be to walk on that surface without falling. Especially since the models do such an exaggerated walk. You're supposed to walk with one foot in front of the other as if on a balance beam, but these gals usually swing the foot over even further so they are actually crossing in front. Sure enough, one of them went down. She managed to pick herself up right away and keep walking, but how she managed to keep from breaking her ankle was beyond me. Unless of course she did and just covered it up really well until she got backstage! 13958. Ms. No - 2/28/2005 10:20:12 PM Depends somewhat on the dress, but in addition to being careful, a bit of a forward kick in one's step and a pointed toe prevents walking up the inside of a long dress. Plus, you can always just lift your skirts a little bit while walking. You'll notice that the pictures on the red carpet are usually of posed actresses rather than walking ones. Runway models get to kick and swish as part of their job --- it shows off the lines of the garments better. 13959. Ms. No - 2/28/2005 10:20:52 PM ha! cross-post 13960. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 10:22:32 PM Of course dresses like the one hayek is wearing are very difficult to walk in anyway as you don't have any room to move your knees. But women will do anything for fashion. If you've ever seen what they used to do with corsets and boning and bustles and things, this is nothing. 13961. judithathome - 2/28/2005 10:23:28 PM I think Halle Berry lokks far more unique with shorter hair. 13962. thoughtful - 2/28/2005 10:48:34 PM I agree...i liked her short hair much better. 13963. thoughtful - 3/1/2005 12:08:29 AM uh oh...i think the flu is hitting in earnest here. the nursing home where MIL is just reopened after a 10-day quarantine. My sec'y went home sick and my at work doc called me to tell me he went home sick today too.
When the medical professionals start getting sick.... 13964. thoughtful - 3/1/2005 12:12:35 AM I mean it is just un-freakin' believable. Who said you can't be beautiful if you don't hurt?
 13965. Magoseph - 3/1/2005 12:24:12 AM Her clavicle is awful--she must be anorexic. 13967. Magoseph - 3/1/2005 10:06:17 AM Post #13966 was moved to Mote Matters.
