Would You Wednesday: Not Your Biggest Fanny

By |January 23rd, 2013|Why Did or Why Don't?|

spring 2013 accessory trendsJudging by the Spring 2013 runways, it would appear that there is a certain accessory attempting, yet again, to make a comeback.  Designers Rachel Zoe, Lacoste, DKNY, and Jeremy Scott all sent the hip hugging fanny pack down the catwalk.  This isn’t the first time designers have adorned their ensembles with the hip satchel though.  It seems like for the last three years, fanny packs have been trying their darndest to regain social relevance.  I hate to quote Mean Girls (slash, love it), but in the words of Regina George, “Stop trying to make fetch happen.”

famous fanny packs comebackBut alas, it would seem some celebrities drank the Kool-Aid and designers are practicing what they preach… and who could forget the Carrie Bradshaw Gucci fanny pack moment?  In theory, I get the fanny pack.  We need both hands to carry our lattes, walk our dogs, hail a taxi, and simultaneously text and Instagram.  Who wouldn’t want a little hip pouch a la kangaroos to hold all of our essentials?  But really?  I don’t even care if you gave it the chic new name of hip purse or waist wallet, the last place that needs more attention is my hip region… and these hips don’t lie.  So, ladies, I must ask, are we doing this come spring?

That’s so fetch.

Monday Mashup: Play to Win

By |February 7th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

So, as many of you know, this past weekend was the Superbowl (um, go Steelers?).  While the Superbowl just used to be something my dad got excited about, it has now turned into yet another opportunity for celebrities to show up at yet another red carpet event and get their pictures taken.  I mean, why not?

Leading up to the big game, there were parties galore for these celebs to mix, mingle, and collect more photo credits.  Here are two lovely young ladies who did just that:

Brooklyn Decker and Anne Vyalitsyna both attended star studded pre-superbowl festivities with their boos.  While they are both leggy blonde models with mega star significant others, one came prepared and the other looked like she didn’t even know she was playing the game (kind of like the Packers and the Steelers).  Listen, just cause you’re a supermodel (or you’ve won six Superbowls) doesn’t mean you can just show up and expect to win.  Being a winner takes a lot more than just showing up.

I get that Andy and Brooklyn own a residence somewhere in Texas, so perhaps Andy told Brooklyn they were just running out to pick up some wings and beer, but her sequin shorts lead me to believe that she was well aware they were headed somewhere fancy.  My point is this: Brooklyn, you are notthatfamous.com to show up at a star studded event looking as if you just awoke from an afternoon nap.  Take a note from Anne and step your game up.  Steelers, I’m talking to you in riddles.

Better luck next year…
