According to the May, 2010, issue of Harper's Baazar, the "fall collection" Marc Jacob's Louis Vuitton collection had entered full-on catwalk cleavage craziness Peter Copping said,"There's no point in denying it. Women have breasts!" (well duh!!!) They, the designers, are trying to get away from the 16 year old virgins, that weigh 75 pounds and are almost opaque in color to real women. Those with curves and don't have to walk twice in the same place to make a shadow. Katie Grand, a magazine editor, said, " Not only did we see big tits in the show, we saw women of different ages, which was a really good message...."

Accordingly, unless you are a hooker, you enhance one or the other, i.e., top or bottom. Legs or chest, but do not do both. Longer skirts and "plunging neck line," or short skirts and modest to high neck line.

Also, a word to the wise! Your breast should NEVER enter a room 15 seconds before you do!!!!!

I am just curious where you heard that "rule". I mean it sounds like a matter of opinion to me, as with all fashion. There is a time and a place to dress sexy, and one is not a "hooker" because one does. Fashion like art, is in the eye of the beholder and in my honest opinion, there are no right and wrongs. Over time all fashions become out of fashion. Who decides?

I once heard that if you don't want to lose money buying art, make sure to buy stuff you like and you like looking at. That way if the art does not gain value, at least you like it. I find the same is true with fashion.

Love always,

Hey girl!

I went back and reread the article that you eluded to and it was a designer by the name of Giles Deacon who was a participant in the show.
He said that "Sexy and vulgar are two different things. As we've seen necklines plunge, so have hemlines." He went on to say, " The key is to be seductive and voluptulous so we're not looking at hooker hemlines and bustlines. It still has to have a taste level."

My only point was that the article stated that the fall fashions (and who pays attentin to the fashion "experts" anyway) would "for fall, designers gave the boyish bods the heave-ho and embraced SHAPELY SILHOUETTES."

Most of us on this forum (no offense to anyone with "boyish bods") can feel more in tune with the fall styles.

Tell Raven we said HI!!!!

Love ya,

It gets really tiresome to hear fashion designers act as if they think they've said something intelligent.

The it's good to look sexy but not like a hooker is a silly dichotomy also. What they mean is that you don't look like a desperate hooker.

Its not always bad to dress like a hooker especially if your doing it for your partner in private but yh its good to pic one or the other don't give away everything at once thats no fun but I'm ok with girls dressing in low neck line and high hems but then they shouldn't complain if they get perved on.

Besides I think what they mean is don't dress like a streetwalker which is one rung down the ladder of social respectability than a hooker.

I guess my sarcasm didn't really come through on my last post, my apologies. Seriously, the fashions I posted, when would be a good time to wear those? When is a good time to wear bright red lipstick, bright red nails and 4" black pumps? Yes they are very sexy, but except in private encounters, it's almost unheard of in public places.

The other part of my sarcasm has to do with my inability to agree with designers/artists that I consider in the "Emperor's New Clothes" group. Absurd clothing or art work that somehow is "in fashion". It's always fun to look back later when everyone see's how ridiculous everyone looked, because they just went along with fashion.

What is in fashion is coincidentally exactly what they happen to be selling. The only criteria I use is how the clothes make me feel and how I feel it looks. The rest I don't really care about.

Love always,

When I dress fem I do it because I feel happier in fem clothing. In the evening with my wife's approval I relax in fem clothes e.g. a skirt but I soon realised that in such a mode I like to be smart and wear topss/bottom that suit each other not just putting a skirt on. The fem clothin neds to be all the way from bra . I also like my legweat to grace me and in any case stockings give me a very girlie look. It is looki I want to sahre with others (So far only with my wife in the security of the home)
