The Nevers

Ello, mates. The lurvly and HEEEE-larious Emily from Scented Glossy Magazines has graciously agreed to write a guest post for me whilst I am recovering in my boudoir as tanned and oiled men who look suspiciously like Sawyer from Lost fan me with palm fronds and rub maderma on my scar (and by "boudoir" I mean "Old Lazy Boy recliner with a wonky spring stuffed into the corner of my bedroom," and by "tanned and oiled men who look suspiciously like Sawyer from Lost fan me with palm fronds and rub maderma on my scar," I clearly mean "as I hide from my children..."). Enjoy.

Oh, and Emily - I CONCUR. People who wear fake glasses have CLEARLY never had to endure ridicule as a child for wearing tinted Tootsie specs with their initials in gold stickers applied meticulously to the bottom corner of the lens. Or so I hear...

Hi everyone!  This is Emily from Scented Glossy Magazines and I have a question for you while our beloved Shans is recovering from her tuck o' the tummy.

Is there anything you would never, ever wear--no matter how high-fashion or cutting edge it may be?   For example:

You know what I'm talking about, right?  THOSE GLASSES.  I don't care if The Jenna Lyons is wearing them, or if a big high fashion name made them--I can't get behind that look.  To me, those glasses are in the same category as jeans with elastic waistbands and Tweety Bird sweatshirts. U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, ETC.

.

Occasionally I will force my husband to watch Project Runway with me, and one of his (many) objections is that fashion, like art, is totally subjective and not judge-able.  I agree with him to a certain point, but I also believe that there are some things that are clearly beautiful and/or interesting, and some things that don't look good on anyone under any circumstance.  Is it just me?  Tell me about it.
