Cool to quite cool


OK. So work with me here a little on this one. Maybe I'm just jumping on the bandwagon here with the whole Project Runway, Next Top Model, etc. craze. But, this is just so much fun to me that I could do it for hours (and maybe I have). I definitely do have a little fashionista in me and I suspect that you do, too.

Exhibit A: Nicole Richie wearing a orange argyle cropped sweater and gray leggings. Own it, Nicole, own it.

This and much more fun can be yours here: Stardoll.com. My only disappointment is that the website used to be called PaperDollHeaven.com which is a way better name. Basically you just pick a celebrity and then get to dress them up exactly like a paper doll. Its fabulous, and oh, the fun to be had with layering. Its amazing.

Exhibit B: Scarlett Johanson - not sure how to spell her name but supposedly she is my nearest celebrity-look-alike (either her or the little girl in My Girl). I thought it might be fun to dress me . . . I mean her up.



Then, to top it all off, I discovered that there is a place where you can design yourself, as well, not completely unlike Nintendo Wii. Or is that part called Mii? Or Me? Not sure. Anyway, here's the best I could do. What do you think? Convincing? I haven't figured out how to actually do the dress-me-up part on the one of myself that I created. Probably you have to become a member of StarDoll.com, and I'm not sure if I'm prepared to stoop THAT low. Ok, probably I am. I'll keep you posted.



I know that you are a little skeptical but give it a try. You will love it. Or at least maybe your 5-year-old will.

why aren't you wearing any clothes in your self-portrait? are you trying to attract more "readers" with this new direction?

Its a tube top. You know how much I love those things. You just can't see it because of the way I cropped the photo.
