NFL: Now For Ladies

Oh wow Smashonistas finally someone is getting it right.  Women love sports too and for some, even more than the man in their life.  Okay that was confusing.  I meant some women love sports more than their man loves sports.  And every female Smashonista wants to look stylish while supporting their favorite teams or at least not the alternative (frumpy) being forced to wear men's football apparel.  Apparently the NFL has come out with a new line called Fit For You and you know what I like it, I like it a lot.  My question is, when is basketball going to catch up?  All you female Laker fans, you  know the challenge of having to scour the ends of the earth including the internet to find some decent women's Laker gear.  What's going on with that?  It seems like it's either too slutty or it makes you look like a man. Thankfully, what the Dodgers put out is a little better.   Now the days of resorting to wearing children's football jersey's of your favorite team are over ladies and you have the NFL to thank for that.  Wow and it only took them 90 years.

Oh and for my two favorite Bronco fans, you know who you are, here is a cute Bronco's t-shirt

Sample Sale Alert: 7 For All Mankind Jeans

Okay all my Smashonista designer jeans lovers.  Wow that's a mouthful.  Here's one for you.  Seven For All Mankind is having a sample sale.  The sale hits four U.S major cities and lucky for you Los Angeles is on the list.  Actually the event kicks off in Los Angeles starting October 1, 2010 and goes through October 3, 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.  Since it's so close to my day job I guess I will have to go check it out.  

New Jersey: The Garden Ho State Spices up Halloween

See my point.  Scary old lady face.  Yikes!

Smashonistas thinking of Halloween yet?  For those of you who are NOT little monsters or NOT GTL fanatics you will not be happy to hear that Jersey Shore and Lady Gaga costumes are the big hit this 2010 Halloween for dresser uppers. Oh how creative people. Picture this Smashonistas, droves of female and male Lady Gagas running around West Hollywood or wherever you pagans plan to spend your pagan holiday wearing meat dresses, platinum wigs and Martian boots. You see and Mike The Situation Whorrentino won't even have to dress up and not because he is Mike The Situation Whorrentino but because this guido sport's his scary-old-lady face mask 365.  Same goes for Gaga and J-BowWow.  Yikes.  New Jersey should be renamed the Garden Ho State.  Now Snooki is Snooki enough said.  Anyhow Smashonistas have fun and be creative with those costumes.  The world can only handle so many Gagas and Whorrentinos.

Not Your Granny's Shoes

Not Your Granny's Shoes by smashonista featuring flats shoes

Smashonistas I have had a love affair with oxfords since I can remember. I use to sport white, brown, grey and black oxfords with little ankle socks back in the day. Pictured here, the set with the berry colored sweater is reminiscent of a favorite outfit I wore throughout my miserable days of sixth grade. Wasn't a big fan of piles of homework, being called a holy-roller (you can look that one up) and know it all teachers telling me what to do. Anyhow, I use to live in these knee grazing skirts, oxfords and sweaters. I am elated the good ol' flat oxford is back. Oh and the mini backpacks, are an added style point. Personally, not a fan of the high-heeled oxford but I did love these that I found featured here in the dressier set I put together. Yay for Oxfords!

Memo: Porno Chic is Out

Smashonistas the real tragedy in the Jet's locker room this past infamous Monday was Ines Sainz' poor wardrobe selection. Who is her stylist and who told her that a white button down shirt and baby blue colored jeans with a studded cowboy looking belt is fashionable? Oh and those boots are a big, big, big no, no. That's so '01. Geez, Ines you are representing women reporters who get a bad rap anyways and you had to wear this get up. Very disconcerting. Never mind the cat calls, never mind the vulgar vocabulary PROFESSIONAL football players used to refer to Ines as they acted like sex-crazed 13 years olds, never mind that most commentary on the subject blamed Ines for the PROFESSIONAL football players' behavior. Never mind all that. God forbid MEN take responsibility for their behavior. Doesn't she know Porno Chic is out and these days it's all about WASPY prep. So it wasn't a good idea to go into a locker room filled with half naked men wearing tight jeans and a cleavage showcasing blouse. Didn't Ines get the memo that public breast feeding is still controversial in the United States because of these same types of numb skulls, before coming to do the Mark Sanchez interview? Of course this is regardless of the fact that men have had the freedom to walk around shirtless (like the hairy monsters they are) for centuries when in reality they should be the ones covering up. Smashonistas that is the true controversy. I say make everyone cover up!! I think Ines gets that now. BUT I think the real teachable moment here is a fashion teachable moment. Porno Chic is out (especially in NFL locker rooms)......... at least for now.

The Doctored Diet

Smashonistas, I heard there is a new diet in town and it does not involve the disgusting act of sticking your finger down your throat. That diet trend is dead. (I hope). Aside from the possibility of looking like Hillary Duff with her toothy veneers (to put it nicely) after all the enamel wears off your chompers there is also the problem of yuk breath. I was never any good at it anyway. Some people are calling this new diet the "Photoshop Diet." I myself call it the "Doctored Diet" Last year it was Ralph Lauren's unbelievably skinny model and this year Ann Taylor. Hey I am all for this diet. Sign me up. The camera adds ten pounds anyways right and never in the right places. Besides, now the fashion industry doesn't have to work with skeletons losing their hair, who pass out during photo shoots because all they had to eat today was a lick of gum and a can of diet soda. Time is money. Just a nip tuck with a click of a mouse and poof you got your sickly I mean stickly looking model. Smashonistas sometimes you got to fight fire with fire. With Americans battling obesity are these images really such a big deal? How many stickly people do you work with, go to school with or know for that matter? None, right but whose friend vainly swore to them this morning in the break room that they would start their diet today and has already munched down a snickers bar a bag of kettle cooked chips and a piece of coconut cake their sister baked for them all before lunchtime? You see most people need to be looking at these kinds of photos. One day the silly scary skinny model trend will die off and people everywhere will have a good laugh and breathe a sigh of relief. Smashonistas if you are interested in the "Doctored Diet" Here is a link to the 2010 Photo Editing Software Review Product Comparisons.
