Model for a Day - Spiegel Reality Dressing, Playing Dress Up

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Clothing

This is the third part of my Model for a Day series in which I share with you my experience as a model for the Spiegel Reality Dressing photoshoot in New York City. You want behind the scenes? You've got it!

Once hair and makeup was finished, I just had to get dressed ... which wasn't as simple as I expected. The outfits were selected for us, so it's not like I had to choose anything, but I had figured that they would have all of the items in a few different sizes. That was not exactly the case.

Nail Polish Summer School: How many colors in your nail polish rainbow?

Filed under: Cosmetics




We have color promiscuity. As soon as we have our nails done one color, we see a newer, prettier color and suffer an irresistible urge to trade up.

More than once, we've been halfway through a pedicure, and an OPI ad in Self Magazine made us scramble out of the chair to grab a different, new more exciting color.

How many colors of nail polish do you have?

Hot panties change color as you wear them

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie


You remember Global Hypercolor, right? Those heat-sensitive t-shirts that changed color as you wore them (and then went all funny-looking after a few washes)? We loved ours so much. In fact, we still have a picture of ourselves wearing it at the gates of Disneyworld, circa 1992 (no, you can't see it...) Anyway, now that same technology has been appropriated into another item of apparel: panties.

How to wear neon (because it's like, totally back)

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Jeans, Dresses

According to the Glamour Fashion Blog (and apparently Parisian women), neon colors are back -- specifically acid green. I don't know about you, but I remember this trend from the first time around. Fortunately, at that point, I was tan, blonde, thin ... and a kid, and therefore I didn't really care about whether it was flattering. I only cared that it was cool.

My sense of personal style has evolved (somewhat) since then, and while I'm actually kind of excited about neon colors being acceptable again, I'm also nervous about how to wear them. I'm pretty sure acid green isn't the most flattering color for me.

Girls biologically pre-disposed to pink

Filed under: Style in the News

Girls love pink because of evolution?As the father of a daughter, I've always fought the notion that little girls had to wear pink. Every time my family asked about the kinds of clothes she needed, I told them to "buy, yellow, green, purple, anything -- anything but pink!"

But in spite of it all, my daughter loves the very color I'd been hoping she would avoid. In fact, as soon as she learned how to talk, she proudly declared it was her favorite.

According to a recent study, there was nothing I could do about it. Scientists say that, based on the way humans have evolved, girls prefer pink and boys prefer blue and that's all there is to it. Says one researcher: "There are biological reasons for [women] liking reddish things."

So ladies, next time you're choosing between a cute new pink dress and one of another color, ask yourself: "Do I really prefer the pink one, or is this just my biological pre-disposition talking?"

Pantone predicts a spicy fall

Pantone has revealed their list of the top ten colors for fall 2007 home and fashion trends. No boring neutrals here, their top ten list calls for shades that are complex. Their prediction is for rich and exotic colors: spicy chili pepper, lemon curry, cashmere rose, purple wine, dusk, shale green, green moss, burnt ochre, carafe and the deeper turquoise of stargazer. Pantone's fall color report taps a number of prominent designers including Jeff Mahshie for Chaiken, Cynthia Rowley, Carmen Marc Valvo, Nanette Lepore and Peter Som.
