It seems that everyone is trying to follow Bluefly.com’s recent foray into the offline shopping territory. The ever popular online shopping store, Girlshop, has just opened a store in the meatpacking district. I’ve yet to check it out, but I imagine it is filled with goodies from Amy Chan and Lotta—perfect for the “subversive socialite” set.

The Budget Fashionista’s Fashion Queen Team

March 22, 2005 11:03 AM | Comments (0) | Posted in AustraliaCanadaDeustchSpanish

Fashion Queens are a special breed of folk with way too must style for any one gender. There is a difference between a drag queen (someone who styles themselves based on a particular female idea) and Fashion Queen (who styles themselves based on a particular fashion idea). I love Fashion Queens because they have this uncanny ability to mix both the masculine and feminine forms of fashion together in sort of like a gender bending style soup. If you’ve never met a Fashion Queen before, head to your nearest gay bar—their the ones sitting at the bar with perfectly arched eyebrows, manicured ...

Apparently the folks at Club Monaco are trying to get into the home fashions business.  According to Trend Central, the store is testing a home collection in six of it’s New York City Stores. The line includes pillows, textiles, and electronics. Club Monaco reminds me of clothing that a hip German school teacher would wear—efficient with a hit of of sex appeal. I’m very curious to see how they translate this into housewares.

Fashion Advice: What is The Perfect Ten

March 17, 2005 12:03 PM | Comments (7) | Posted in AustraliaCanadaDeustchSpanish

Recently, a reader sent me an email asking me to define the term “perfect ten”. Yes, a perfect ten can refer to someone who has superior physical beauty (remember that old Dudley Moore movie “10”), but it also refers to a body that has a 10-1-10 ratio between the bust, waist, and hips. In this ratio, the bust and hips are approximately the same size and both are ten inches larger than the waist. This supposed to be the “ideal” body ratio and indicates a proportionate body. The cool thing about it that the ratio is not determined by clothing size. So, whether you’re a 44-34-44 or ...

Great Conditioner for Dry Hair

March 16, 2005 12:00 PM | Comments (0) | Posted in Product ReviewsAustraliaCanadaDeustchSpanish

Okay there is no need to spend a trillion dollars on hair conditioner. Head to your kitchen for the perfect hair conditioner for dry hair. Here’s the how-to:

Combine 1/4 mayonnaise (the real stuff not Miracle Whip), with three tablespoons of olive oil and 1 egg. Mix together and evenly distribute throughout hair. Cover head with a plastic cap or use an old plastic grocery bag and wrap hair with wet hot towel. Let sit for 15 minutes. Shampoo as usual.

This condition works miracles on thick, dry, lifeless hair. Plus you can make salad dressing out of the left over mix.

March 15, 2005 12:08 PM | | Posted in AustraliaCanadaDeustchSpanish

Why does it seem that your wit seems to fail you when you need it the most? While waiting in line to register for a high-brow, ladies who lunch, fashion event in midtown Manhattan, I overheard someone say “Who is this Budget Fashionista chick?” Apparently the person had been hearing quite a bit about yours truly and wanted to know what all the hype was about. While talking about me and my blog, I stood four feet away glued to the floor—immobilized by both the question and my lack of in action.

So, I spent the whole night coming up with witty answers to the question. Here is what I ...
