This picture of Allegra Beck, daughter of Donatella Versace, wearing a nasogastric feeding tube, sparked rumors that the $600 million heiress is near death. Yesterday, it was reported that Allegra is hospitalized in LA. Today, they say she is not hospitalized but rather getting treatment at home. Allegra, you are a strong girl and our hearts and prayers go out to you. This should be a wakeup call to the fashion industry that promoting this unrealistic ideal of women is dangerous and that we should have models who are of a normal body weight on the runway.

This holocaust/famine victim ideal is dangerous to all of the women who are subjected to it. We need to start showing womanly bodies as examples of fashionable women. Between the models literally keeling over from anorexia on the runway to Mary Kate Olsen, Kate Bosworth, Nicole Richie, and Rachel Zoe, girls in the spotlight are literally starving themselves to death. We need to rethink our values. Stop buying movie tickets for movies that promote this anorexic ideal. Stop buying clothes from designers who feature anorexic models. Then the industry that promulgates this misogynistic ideal will rethink the damage it is doing to women.

In Chic in Paris, fashion expert Susan Tabak reveals the style secrets of eight French style icons including Loulou del la Falaise and Nathalie Rykiel. Tabak does not encourage women to blindly follow ridiculous fashion trends (shrugs, ponchos, capelets and gauchos you know who you are). Instead, she encourages you to wear the styles and colors that make you feel fabulous and sexy. In a related note, doctors came out with a study that it is not just how you look but how you flaunt it that secretly attracts men. Men love hourglass figures and rated women who sway their hips as more attractive. That must be the secret to JLo, Beyonce and Marilyn Monroe's "it factor."

The Fashion Rag quoted Let's Talk Style about Old Navy's hot summer dresses. We said we were "a big fan of the return to dresses, since [we] wear dresses all the time. They are girly and fun and always make you look put together. Old Navy’s new dresses seem perfect for the beach or a Hampton’s weekend getaway. You can pair them with some hot turquoise necklaces, gold bangles and a jean jacket or just throw them over your bikini for some hot summer fun.” It's all about the "LWD" this season. Wear it all over town to show off your tan and stand out in a sea of hum drum little black dresses.

Naomi campbell will trade in her haute couture for a mop and broom as part of her community service as a New York sanitation worker. It seems like poetic justice for Campbell, who throws cell phones and other rhinestone encrusted objects at her maids. It's reminiscent of the Karma Chameleon, Boy George, when he swept the streets doing community service as well.
