FLDSdress.com: your polygamist clothing hookup

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro


As we watched the cops raid the Yearning for Zion polygamist compound back in April, one thought kept running through our minds: how can we get our hands on some of those sweet fundamentalist duds? According to FLDS mothers, pioneer fashion has been out of style for way too long now, and it's time to bring it back. That's why a few of the enterprising women of the FLDS sect have decided to launch a website selling their handmade styles.

Their website, FLDSdress.com, was initially launched to get clothing out to the 440 children in state custody. Now, the site will hopefully be a vehicle for some of the displaced women to earn a living. We weren't even sure that FLDS women were allowed to work. We were also surprised by the amount of porn advertising that they allowed on their website. Kidding.

Hopefully, they'll have their adult line ready in time for NY Fashion Week.

McConaughey is modest

Filed under: Style in the News, Fragrance, Celebrities with Style


Matthew McConaughey won't take his shirt off for a video shoot? What's that about? Apparently, the shirtless version of his commercial for D&G's new fragrance, The One, is intended for European and Asian eyes only. He insisted on doing a fully clothed version for the good ol' USA -- guess we're not cultured enough to understand the shirtless male form? Anyway, it hasn't stopped the European version from making the rounds on YouTube. From the article:

'Matthew didn't want to be bare-chested on billboards in America, although he doesn't seem to have a problem stripping off in his films.'

Is Matthew starting to get sick of being a sex symbol? Or is he trying to tone it down because he's going to be a daddy soon? For years the guy has been shedding his shirt whenever possible, then when it comes time to do a shoot with Dolce & Gabbana, he gets shy all shy? Not buying it -- the photo for the D&G advertisement is probably the first pic featuring a shirted McConaughey in months. We think he was just fishing for some extra beer money.

Have slips been replaced by Spanx?

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie


How many of you own a slip? We're not talking about a slip dress -- we mean a real, actual slip that is worn under a dress, and, theoretically, not seen at all. Now, if you own one, do you wear it?

This question was asked over at Friday Style, and the answers were interesting. Not surprisingly, there seems to be a generation gap -- apparently some grandmothers were simply aghast that their little ones weren't wearing slips with their dresses this Easter, while the younger set was amazed that anyone still wore slips.

Do you still wear a slip under your dress?
