    Here's my Makeover:

    (1) Darken Hair, think warm autumnal gold/brown

    (2) Wear same dress but with opaqua brown tights and knee boots. NOT SPARKLEY PANTY HOSE.....Oh Emily! How could you wear those hose?

    This annoying piece of news "technology" was first introduced full-time after 9/11, remember? I do. I was living in Syria, terrified that I would read the name of a close friend, a flight attendant for American on the Boston to LA route. I didn't, thank Christ, but a lot of others did. I didn't find out from "the scroll," however. In fact, I have never found out anything from "the scroll" that was of any value whatsoever. Even as I knew that it would be overdone and become eventually meaningless, never did I imagine it would be a way for one "news" "network" to give its viewers a pulpit for their ignorance and racism.


    Boy, was I wrong or what?


    But it really goes to show that that other wonderful innovation that appeared after 9/11--that Americans actually took a few minutes to care for and about each other--was more short lived than a Neil Cavuto erection.


    So thanks, Fox News, for harming my country every bit as much as The Terrorists. Bin Laden ain't got nothing on you.

    oh snap.


    I think there are elements to the dress that are quite pretty. It's just a little too much of a number of things.

    Also, Emily- I know you are reading this- the hair has got to go. Think darker or more auburn. Something.

    @SisterMaryMartha: i agree about the hair. I read somewhere that she goes only to Kenneth. That must be stopped; it is why she has that fluffy monotone cotton-candy upswept hair. Emily! Go to Frederic Fekkai or Louis Licari! They can do a more modern cut and keep you a blonde but make it look more elegant and modern. You need bangs. They would look cute.

    She is criminally uninteresting as a character, but her fashion sense (including hair) is almost fascinating. You always wondered if there was a species of woman who appropriates her wealthy grandmother's look.


    Turns out, there is. Unfortunately, it just isn't that interesting.

    Ouch. I like what I wore New Year's Eve but I try to keep my Facebook settings private. So I think the reason you've got a not-so-great picture (not even from my camera) is because my buddy Hamilton had to unearth this gem from god knows where. But I'd still rather run the risk of unflattering pictures than endanger the privacy of family and friends. Or worse yet, start submitting pictures of myself.


    Yours, E

    @EmilyBrill: ... and here I was thinking "she's so cunning to have matched her leggings to the lampshade in the background, is the rest of her ensemble equally well matched to other furnishings within the apartment?"


    fashion sense like that is innate, not learned. plus, it doubles as camouflage should you need to make a speedy escape.

    Also, there's no accounting for taste. We hate the dress, but really, what do we know?
