st. elmo's fire

The other night i decided to take a study break and watch st. elmo's fire (by decided, i mean i realized it was already one day overdue, but i really wanted to watch it soo...). the opening scene has ally sheedy, hands down my favorite actress from 80's, wearing what can only be described is one of the most hideous outfits ever. it is the one seen in this picture, (and if you don't know ally sheedy, shame on you. go rent the breakfast club. she's the one that is not molly ringwald. and if you don't know who molly is either, well you might as well just give up...). I can only thank the fashion gods that be that these floppy tie things for women that ally is wearing are no long in vogue...hideous.

but all in all, my review of st. elmo's fire is, catch it on tv if you can. this is not breakfast club/sixteen candles/pretty in pink quality. but a great cast...still fun to watch.

ps. where is ally?

an open letter to jessica simpson

Dear Jessica Simpson,

While I am not ashamed to admit that at times I do enjoy your fashion designs (hello, i loved the "princy" jeans a la my last name), I am mighty confused about this beach cover up you have designed that appears to be modeled after a dress shirt.

I realize that your life allows for a uniform of wearing t-shirts proclaiming that real women should be carnivores (AMEN, SISTA!) and so you may find it "fun" or "sexy" to wear a dress shirt as a cover up. But let me tell you, us women that have to have real jobs and wear professional attire every day do not appreciate designs where our beach cover ups are modeled after our monkey suits. Especially when you want us to pay $98.00 for something we have at least 10 of hanging in our closet which we paid a fraction of the price for...

I must give this two large thumbs down, unless however you are using your blond ambition and trying to promote that more people should have meetings, interviews, or even full blown trials by the pool. Then, bravo...bravo to your forward thinking.

Thank you.
