No I totally agree. I made a comment upthread about feeling for her, because she most likely received absolutely no training in basic money management or budgeting. I mean, most of us who HAVE to do that don't even know how really. I'm sure she wouldn't even know where to start. It is really kind of sad. I'm…

I actually do feel for her on this. Most of us "regular" folk are not taught basic skills like budgeting and money management. Her parents were filthy rich, and she was brought up to also have a career that would continue to make, her personally, filthy rich. I can't imagine she was taught any skills about money…

According to the proper definition, yes. But, I know, anecdotally, that it can be used as slang for sloppy. The person who used the word in the interview went on described the untucked shirt as well as the large belly, so I think it could have been meant as sloppy. And, actually makes more sense to me.

I actually don't know. I was hoping you could check from your end. I'm south of you. It looks like it, maybe?

I feel like their more recent clothing is more skin-baring. It's probably a reaction to their fan base growing into "hip" women wearing them outside of yoga studios and around town. They're not making all their clothes with actual yoga practice use as the key focus anymore.

Can you buy Yogitoes? They are cotton, so not wicking if that is what you need, but I wear them for hot yoga. I really like them. And they stretch (but don't appear to stretchout) so I can't imagine they would give you a migraine.

Adding: It really is a hallmark of us as a society (I guess, or women? Although it applies to the author of the NYP piece as well), that we read the word "dumpy" and automatically assume it was a comment on his body type and not how he styled himself. And, yes, I know the comment was ended with a reference to his…

I agree. And "dumpy" may go more to his style than his body shape. Lululemon may be yoga wear, but it is very tailored, high-end, sophisticated yoga wear. I would be a little suspect of a CEO who couldn't pull off a polished look, either, no matter what his body shape is.

Meh. Decorating is like beauty standards. What is considered "good taste" is often based on what other people have or what magazines or home décor people want you to think is currently "in." It's following trends and keeping up with Joneses. Really, I find it a bit bothersome that we expect a person to keep up with…

Yeah. There are other ways for her to stay connected to all of them, just not so visibly. I'm sure it's all just for PR.

Or Brad Pitt.

I'm sorry, because that sounds horrific and my well wishes go out to Miley. But that would be some irony if she were to have dress syndrome since she mostly parades around in various stages of undress.

That's my biggest fear downloading erotica to my kindle. Amazon pops up with more as recommendations on the main page. Don't really need anyone seeing that, and sometimes I will be looking amazon while in the presence of someone else so they can see those recommendations. Grrr.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I actually stopped wearing make-up as often because I got to the point that the person I woke up and saw in the mirror wasn't really me until I had the make-up on. I had gotten so used to what I looked like with it. I didn't like that feeling.

Yeah, there's a real reason the expression for putting on make-up in the South is "putting on your face."

I also want to add (it's too late to edit my response), I think had my Mom given me a vibrator or any sex toy it would have freaked me out. So, a simple "talk" or acknowledgement would have been great and nonintrusive.

I was thinking about this yesterday as I was posting. I came to the conclusion that, awkward as it may be, I still think it could have been broached by my mother (father if necessary, I guess, I had the luxury of both parents so I would prefer having this come from Mom). I don't enjoy detailed discussions about…

Thank you. I think we forget that we can also lost our autonomy about our own bodies when we jump too far into either side of an ideology, even the "good side."

Okay, I am in my 30s and I love Coldwater Creek. Not all of it. But it was at a price point I could afford (mostly, especially with sales), for quality clothes I could wear to work that weren't too trendy. Like Ann Taylor Loft. I fear that as companies like this go away, I will be forced into paying for really cheap…

One year my Dad kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas. I really couldn't come up with anything I was just dying to have. He handed me a few of the hugs catalogs and told me to look through it for ideas. I did, and came up with a rather long list of items I thought might nice to get for Christmas. (Clearly I…
