~With the new movie Made of Honor hitting theaters, our readers are thinking about more than just dreamy Patrick Dempsey.  48% of readers said that modern bridesmaids should be allowed to express their individuality with different styles of dresses, while 39% said matching bridesmaids blend better into the background and11% were unsure.
~ Are Bangles just another ‘80’s blast from the past?  “No way!” say 61% of readers who love the free-spirited look.  23% think the look should “walk like an Egyptian” right off the fashion scene and 14% haven’t decided.
~ Colored jeans were a controversial topic this week, with only 16% giving a vote of confidence to the bold look.  47% of readers said they were tacky, while 35% said it depends.
~In the late-night glow of the television, infomercial products can seem pretty tempting.  56% of readers said they wouldn’t fall for those as-seen-on-TV sales pitches, while 25% have made a purchase or two, and 18% said they haven’t yet but might if the price was right.
~Members Only Jackets are back, but our readers say they shouldn’t be. A whopping 72% said this look should go back to its place in the 1980’s Hall of Shame, while 10% said they can’t wait to sport the trend, and 17% said they might try it out.
