notice the beautiful evening gown on the left with a slightly exaggerated bodice, I'm also rather a fan of the burgundy/reddish mini-dress with the shell embroidery, all from Mr. John Galliano.
According to the New York Times,
"The message was sexiness, luscious color mixed with neutrals, and lots and lots of leg. (Mr. Galliano had just two pants outfits, and they were black leggings.)"
I'm also a fan of the Balmain stuff, check out this pic. I've always been a fan of acid-wash jeans and that french military (i dunno if its really french but its def military) jacket is really very cool.
In the aftermath of the US Presidential Debate last week we have seen a lot of analysis in the papers and news media, mostly calling a stale-mate. But did people notice the ties? Oh my God, the ties. Obviously male US Presidential candidates (as they so far have always been) have no other way to really differentiate their outfits... though I am waiting for the day when someone rocks up in something cool like a tweed suit... so far they havent even broken into pinstripes yet.Things have been interesting on the tie front though. Check out the pic: Obama has gone for a dark purplish/red tie, red being the traditional Republican colour and blue being Democrat, he seems to have gone somewhere in between... McCain has gone for a colourful stripy tie... woah.... I know he's a maverick but that thing is blinding!
Further on the politics front, the BBC has done a poll on how the War on Terror is going according to people in various important countries and it seems to be a resounding 'not great'.
"Some 29% of people said the “war on terror” launched by President George W Bush in 2001 had had no effect on the Islamist militant network.
According to 30% of those surveyed, US policies have strengthened al-Qaeda."
Furthermore:
"In Pakistan, where much of the battle against al-Qaeda is being fought, just 19% said they had a negative view of Osama Bin Laden’s organisation."
Ummm.... that's bad.
