hot sluts



I love London. Not only for its amazing mix of culture and its social scene, but for the fact that this city puts the term "biddy" to shame. In the states, "biddy" refers to that girl in the mini skirt and ugg boots; that girl who dresses like everyone else. Their fashion sense is usually a few years behind and they look like Barbies. Londoners, you have created a next generation biddy. Your young girls don't look so much like Barbie, your biddies try with the utmost intent of not looking like everyone else, which unfortunately backfires, causing these Next Generation Biddies to exceed biddy expectations. NGB's you look good. all of you. well...most of you. Unfortunately, buying the craziest thing you see in Urban Outfitters is not going to make you look like an individual. you are still an NGB, because the next girl who walks into Urban will buy that same crazy feathered contraption. NGB's it is important to stand out in a crowd, but not if that means you look like some prehistoric bird.

Not cute.


Its perfectly acceptable to have the desire to smell good. Most people share this. But this doesn't mean coating yourself in drugstore cologne. Axe never was, and still isn't the answer. Smelling good does not mean smelling like every prepubescent boy. Even more disgusting are those men who still drench themselves in colognes like Curve or Aqua D'Gio. These over marketed scents were acceptable, and actually quite cool...when you were 15. Men, the time has come for you to choose your scent wisely, not lazily. You should smell nice. And I should not be able to know what you are wearing from across a crowded room.

London's a drag.


London girls: stop wearing so much make-up. We all know you have a pretty face under there. Don't get me wrong, I love a good polished face, but caking it with pounds of foundation is not doing anyone any favors. Wearing that many layers of powder on your face causes one to look reminiscent of a drag queen. Cut back your make-up usage by only applying one layer of the products you normally use for a more subtle natural look.

Dress Fly.


Today, I will be taking the 6 1/2 journey across the pond; a flight Ive taken before. What do I wear on the plane? Do I go for comfort or beauty? Instead of making a decision, these questions caused me to ponder, what happened to putting on your Sunday best for a flight? When flying first became a viable option, passengers would dress themselves in their fanciest, most fashionable outfits for their journey. Taking an airplane was like going to the theater, a very upper class activity. I wish people carried on this tradition instead of showing up to the airport in their sweats. It just looks sloppy. There are ways to look great and be comfy. For example, tights and a loose fitting minidress are excellent for flying because the combination allows for mobility but the passenger still looks put together. Don't use flying as an excuse to wear your disgusting college sweatpants in public.
