See Thru Swimwear
One of the riskiest things that you could ever do in public is wear see thru swimwear. These swimsuits are made of a very thin, flimsy and transparent material. In most cases this type of swimwear will appear transparent whether wet or dry. That said, see-through bikinis, monokinis, and even one-pieces should not be worn by the faint of heart.
Types of swimsuits
This beachwear come in different degrees of transparency. Mesh is one type of bathing apparel that offers a degree of coverage when dry. This pieces can be made of crocheted material although vinyl and metal mesh bathing suits are also popular.
Another type of see-through beachwear is the translucent swimsuit. These are made of very thin Lycra and can be completely transparent when wet.
The ultimate in see-through pieces is the see-through swimsuit. Whether you are dry or wet, everything underneath is visible. Such bathing suits are often made of clear vinyl although nylon is also a popular alternative.
Angelina Jolie in Gucci Movie
Angelina Jolie is close to joining the cast of Ridley Scott’s Gucci, a drama about intrigue in high fashion. Scott wants Jolie to play Patrizia Reggiano, the woman sentenced to 29 years in prison for plotting the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci.
It’s not yet written, but the script will focus on the family in the seventies and eighties when it was pulling in half a billion dollars annually. After an inter-family power struggle that ends with Maurizio coming out on top, things go downhill until he’s eventually murdered. Scott is still looking for his Maurizio and has approached Leonardo DiCaprio, who remains unattached. If Scott seems to be in a hurry, it’s for fear a Chinese film company will rip off the idea and produce a version that looks a lot like his, only to have it fall apart as soon as its seams are strained. Cheap counterfeits!
The Olsens Are Doing a Juniors’ Collection for JCPenney
We just received an invite to preview a juniors’ line for JCPenney called Olsenboye by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. We can’t be sure of too many details at the moment, but the flyer lists Olsenboye.com as the line’s website.
The site doesn’t appear to be up yet. But if the line is in previews now, it must be slated for a spring launch. The Olsens join the elite ranks of fellow JCPenney designers Kimora Lee Simmons and Charlotte Ronson. If the line is like an affordable version of the Row or Elizabeth & James, JCPenney just got a whole lot cooler. Stay tuned for more details.
What to Wear with Ankle Boots
In all honesty, ankle boots are probably my least favorite style of women’s footwear.
It’s not that I dislike ankle boots for what they are, it’s more that I dislike how they’re worn — which is often in the most unflattering way possible.
I blame the media. Okay, that’s a cop out, and technically, I am part of the media, so I guess that statement needs a little clarification.
What I mean to say is that what we see on the runways and in fashion magazines does not always translate well for our own bodies and lives.
For example, ankle boots with cropped leggings or shorter tights is a definite “don’t” for women who have shapely calves. Even women who are on the thin side have to be careful as the combination seems to chop inches off your height while adding bulk to your legs.
