Will YOU Wear This Trend...Thigh High Boots [POLL]

Hopefully you've been working those legs on the thigh master all summer 'cuz Fall looks offer up all sorts of killer over-the-knee boots in luxe leather, suede and everything in between.  Might we suggest skipping the Starbucks for this season and spending that extra cash on a pair or two of these beauties...?

Take our Poll...Ideal Body Size

Which body type in the photo below do you find most appealing?
As a basis of comparison, the photo shows 3 women. The woman on the left is a US size 10, the woman in the middle is a US size 6, and the woman on the right is a US size 14.



The average size of an American woman is a size 14. What size are you?

.

In a recent poll, it was found that men prefer the image of a woman who is a size 10, which one might find hard to believe based on the pix of girls constantly "photo-shopped to perfection" that can be found in mens magazines such as FHM, Maxim, Playboy, etc... So, for you women who starve yourselves in order to be skinnier, know that most men don’t really care if you have a muffin top or a little extra junk in the trunk.

But, let's face it... Most women not only dress to compete with other women, they also diet in order to be skinnier than other women. Women themselves are said to prefer a size 6, which is much different in appearance than the size 10 preferred by men.

So, what about you?
Which body do YOU find most appealing?

.

And, are you female or male?

.

And, tell us...what influences your vision of the ideal body type?

Hide and Chic...

If you remember back to early 2003, the SARS epidemic became a matter of intense public concern and people sought to protect themselves from airborne germs by wearing surgical masks. The image at left featuring model Eva Herzigova with a Louis Vuitton SARS mask appeared and was quickly exposed as a fashion hoax.


With the current buzz about Swine Flu and people again seeking surgical masks to avoid contacting the virus, we thought we'd take a reprieve to the lighter side of things with some mask fashion actually from the Autumn/Winter 2009 runways. Most of these won't do much in warding off the virus, but they sure look sweet...

Love It or Hate It?

Kim Kardashian, known for her gorgeous long brunette locks as well as her curvy shape, recently lightened up and went blonde! Do you like...?

* * *

Really it's just a wig from a photo shoot she did this past weekend, but she’s contemplating the BIG change for real to this colour made popular by Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. ...And, YES, Men...hair colour, length change or getting bangs IS a BIG deal to us women and requires some heavy contemplation.

Our thoughts...We think she looks a little TOO much like a Beyonce wanna-be with it, but with that gorgeous face, she looks great either way.

“I did a fabulous photo shoot this weekend and they put this hair piece on! I haven’t taken it off since, because I’m really loving the look.”

Check out her look before and after {below} and then let us know what YOU think?

BEFORE...with her gorgeous dark brunette locks

Do you love Kim’s new look or not?
