What clothes are you buying for fall?
I don't like bohemian styles, sweater coats or most of the fall trends, but I am always looking for new items to update my wardrobe. I haven't even bought a new handbag or shoes. Thus far I've bought two pairs of lightweight wool slacks, one brown

Question re: Dean Cain's eyeglasses in LOIS & CLARK
I realize this is kind of an odd choice of a newsgroup to post this question, but I know the art and fashion of designer eyeglass frames pops up here once in a while, so.... Does anyone know the exact model # of the eyeglass frames that Dean Cain wo

Vogue Cover October 2005 (Gwyneth Paltrow)
Very, very bad cover. She looks dour & sour. Nothing like her fashion idol cover of a few years ago (http://www.planethelium.com/gal11/vogue_cover.jpg). Is this Wintour's best effort? Was that the best pic of the entire shoot? Is she the new look for
