OLYMPIC FASHION LEADERS NO MORE?

CANADIAN OLYMPIC TEAM BEIJING 2008A DISASTER! I SAY GO BACK TO ROOTS

Oh the drama. HBC (The Hudson Bay Company) is one of the oldest commercial companies in the world going back nearly 400 years in the fur trading days in Canada. They were asked to design for the uniforms for the Canadian Olympic team in Turin, Italy taking a very lucrative contract from Roots who has been designing them since 1998. Just a few days ago HBC revealed their latest creations to mix reviews...red white and green? What an embarrassment, especially the two piece suits, they look like PJ's, I would not even wear that stuff to bed. It would probably suffocate me in the night.

2006 - THE HBC GLORY DAYS

BEFORE HBC THERE WAS ROOTS...

AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC TEAM BEIJING 2008

My boyfriend is Australian so I was poking lots of fun at him for this one. When I was living in Melbourne I felt like I was being surrounded by a sea of suits in the morning, I just didn't know that they took it that far. I remember going for an interview with a recruiter and wearing dress pants and a nice top and the recruiter got on my case for not wearing a suit. It was a recruiter after all not a damn job! My boyfriend loves his job here in Canada because he can show up to work in jeans and a nice top without a problem. He hasn't worn his suit since he's left Australia.

CHINESE OLYMPIC TEAM 2008

I really like this, it's not amazing but it's nice. I really like the grey bottoms.

STREET STYLE FAVORITES

Oh I love this YSL sweater. Oh what I would give to have one! I wonder how much they retail for?

I've been really wanting a high waisted skirt lately, no luck in finding one as of yet.

I love the girl on the left, this is a great going out outfit. It's covered up, but still sexy and hip.

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR LATEX LEGGINGS?

I still don't own a pair, I didn't think my thunder thighs looked good in them.

THE LAUREN CONRAD COLLECTION

"SUMMER IN THE CITY"

Bravo! I think this is a big improvement from the previous collections. I can see that Lauren is starting to take more risks little by little. I'm quite fond of the pink dress in the second row.

RACE TO ERASE MS PARTY

TARA REID

She tries and tries, but she still can't get it right. Here is a word of advice: Start by removing the silicone from your left breast followed by the right.

PARIS HILTON & OTHER HILTONS

Ugh they are so tacky.

NICKY HILTON / SHANNEN ELIZABETH

Isn't Shannon's dress dress from a Chloe collection 3 years past? I'm not sure, but it looks familiar. I guess she is a D grade actress or something.

THE BEAUTY AND THE GEEK

I KID! EMMY ROSSUM & BOYFI'm glad she's found love.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

TIA MOWRY

She got married!

Oh I loved Sister Sister, but they don't seem to be playing re-runs here anymore. Does anybody know where I can watch this online?

TAMARA MOWRY

THE FRESH PRINCE'S
TATIANA ALI

Ugh I don't like this makeup or hair on her, and she's such a gorgeous girl! Last year my boyfriend and I downloaded all 6 seasons of The Fresh Prince and watched it every night before going to bed. It took us about 5 months to get through it! It was interesting to see all the changes they made to the show when you watch it back to back.
