Who wants to look fat? Anyone, anyone,...Bueller?

Ok, so admittedly, the photo quality is crap, but the point shall be made. The 2-waisted top paired with tight jeans--clearly a fashion no-no. Why? you ask. Well, here's my question for you--does it accentuate a trim tummy or does it make her the look square-bellied? With an empire-waisted top and a drop-waisted bottom, she actually looks like she has no waist. How is that flattering? Not to mention the top ends with a flounce that is totally unnecessary. So, I could discuss the exposed bra straps, but maybe we can leave that for another day. Sigh. Come on New York, you can do better. Chin up little camper!

Idea

So, I have been turning over an idea in my head and am looking for comments. Ok, so, this blog has definitely made the point that there are sooooo many out there in desperate need of makeovers. Obviously, this is a limited medium where I don't accost people in the streets, i just surreptitiously take their photo and dissect the fashion issues I see. But what if there was a way to interact directly with people to address their fashion faux pas? I've been thinking of having a booth at one of the ubiquitous NYC street fairs offering free fashion advice. Of course, I have no credentials to brag about, but what if real stylists, makeup artists, hair professionals and the like were to staff this booth. It would make a great promotional event for a website or magazine focused on fashion and style. Hmmmm. Can i patent this idea before someone steals it? I saw a couple people today that I thought about accosting, but I just don't think they would appreciate me coming up to them to say, "hey, your hair looks like straw. go get some serious conditioning treatments and think about either accepting your natural curls or cutting off the dead mess you have now." Clearly, useful advice, and yet I fear it would not be well received. Hmmmm.
