What's a "Real" Woman, Fashion Industry?

The Herald Sun ran another one of those "fashion week to include so-called real women onto the catwalk because we're so inclusive" articles today.

God, I am so sick of those! I'm not against the fashion industry including, in this case, pregnant woman on the runway, in fact I say kudos to Melbourne's Spring Fashion Week for doing that.

I just hate the fact that they call them "real" people. It's like what the fuck are models then? Robots?

I absolutely despise when people use expressions like "real women have curves", etc. No, that phrase is so misleading. People should say, "some women have curves. Some people are born without them. It doesn't matter either way."

By using the term "real", it in a way chastises skinnier people as  inherently fake and atypical. Is this really a good thing?

Miss Universe Australia's 2011 National Costume. Lol.

Well, it's that time again. Miss Universe is around the corner and of course for our country that means yet another tragic mess for our delegate to wear. This year, people are again ripping the national costume design to shreds.

Here's what Kooey has made for our reigning Miss Universe Australia, whatever her name is:

It's a dress that's half 90s Kylie Minogue and half Strictly Ballroom. But don't take my word for it. Ask Lizzie Hurley:

"Oh dear...this is for Miss Universe? More like Miss University student designer..."

Are You For Real?

My first reaction to Selina Kyle's costume in The Dark Knight Rises.

She's gone all ROBOCOP on us!

I'd much rather prefer something classier and more tasteful, like this:

Brynne Edelstein's on fire right now!

Australia's finest adopted daughter-in-law Brynne Edelstein is so hot at Channel Seven right now, she caused the fire alarms to go off.

It's true! According to news.com.au, Brynne was making a star appearance on the psychic TV show The One when she set off the alarms. It's because she's so sizzlingly voluptuous. Or the fact that she was smoking in the studio's bathroom.

Sydney is "Lucky"; we have Britney's Oops I Did It Again Tour Navy Costume

Finally, the answer to one of this century's greatest unsolved mysteries has been resolved -- where the hell did Britney's "Lucky" navy costume from her 2000 Oops I Did It Again tour end up?

Well last Friday night, imagine my surprise when I came face to face with this groundbreaking design of modern art...at the Hard Rock Cafe in Sydney's Darling Harbour. It's kept in pristine condition by a classy wall of glass and you don't even need to go that far in to see it. It's located right next to the entrance by the maitre d'.

Or maybe it's just a replica. Britney probably has kept the original in case she feels like wearing a uniform around her Malibu home ... and that flight attendant outfit she wore in Toxic just won't do.

By the way, the Hard Rock Cafe was okay. Food was nothing special in my opinion but the ambience and views were fantastic. So now I fully expect hordes of crazed Aussie Britney fans to make the pilgrimage to Darling Harbour to view the outfit and stay for the ambience.

Here's a video featuring the costume from her 2000 tour:

Princess Mary is back with a vengeance!

After being upstaged by Naomi Campbell at Prince Albert's wedding ceremony, Princess Mary has managed to one-up her rival fashionistas at the wedding gala in Monaco last night. Her dynamic fashion efforts this evening have thankfully secured her title once again as the world's leading Queen of Style (after Shania Twain):

The Crown Princess of Denmark was all class when she strutted into the gala with this vivid fuchsia frock. To complete her royal modern look, she also wore a glittery tiara and a brooch that looks like some kind of bird. How elegant and groundbreaking.

Naomi who?

Princess Mary's Classy Look at Monaco's Royal Wedding

Princess Mary showed off a sultry yet elegant look at Prince Albert's wedding to Charlene Wittstock in Monaco. Looking fresh faced and ethereal, the world's most regal expat Aussie selected a simple one-shoulder number while walking to the pre-wedding concert with husband Prince Frederik.

At the church ceremony however, Princess Mary upped her ante by opting for this blue/green-ish dress matched with an odd fascinator in an obvious attempt to capitalise on the worldwide viral internet fame Princess Beatrice received when she wore that bizarre hat to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding earlier this year.

Unfortunately however, Mary's fashion efforts were upstaged by supermodel Naomi Campbell. Naomi outstyled her royal archrival with a floral gown and headpiece matched with a good weave.

The world awaits for round two of this most amiable showdown...
