Current mood:

Flippant

My Clothes are For Everyone - except YOU.
From a mouse on Wank Report.

High-end fashion blogger, Susie Bubble, tries on an unfortunate creation by Pamela Hogg and posts the photographic results to her blog.

The designer's PR is not amused and demands the pictures be taken down for reasons that change with each discussion.

Defense of the designer ensues. Nasty defense!

"Susie Bobble isn't ugly but she's not pretty either. She's an average looking girl who loves above average looking clothes and therein lies the problem.

Message to Ms. Bobble: Make your own clothes from patterns and leave Pam and other talented designer pieces for the more suitable, pretty and slighter girls or women."

Susie pulls down the photos but is hurt and it's not from pulling off the tightest Spandex this side of the Power Rangers.

The imbroglio becomes the talk of the town.

Meow with a side of wank.

ETA: Deena of "Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too" has her own hilarious response.

	Okay, this is where I do the obligatory unfunny pleading for MORE STYLE BLOGS PLZ. I want all the links people can muster! The only ones I really know off the top of my head are Fashionista and the NY mag one, The Cut. Oh, and The Sartorialist. I want more. ;__; (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tom and Lorenzo started as a blog about Project Runway but have expanded to most of the fashion competition shows as well as general style commentary. Also, anything from or related to the Manolo. Big points for my purposes to Manolo for the Big Girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Haute Macabre is my current favourite, but then I'm an Old Used Not-A-Goth who likes to look at stuff I can't wear any longer (and prolly never would have worn even when I could have). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would totally wear these tights in a group of people I disliked in an attempt to induce the creepy crawly feeling of ants crawling up their legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Haha, I was just about to start this thread.

Young, Fat, and Fabulous [obviously plus-size theme, but Gabi has an awesome style regardless]
What Claudia Wore [um, kind of cheating? Technically this is about the Baby-Sitters Club, but Kim is hilarious and talks about non-BSC fashion a lot, so it's cool]
Wardrobe Remix [actually a Flickr pool, not a blog, but it's a ton of fun]
Babyassface [Beauty, not fashion, but it has the best title of any blog ever created, so shut up]
Fashion is Spinach

Um. I haven't really been a fashion person, but I misread your Fashionista link as Fatshionista, and since you want more... it's part fashion and part political and part venting. It's not trend reporting so much as outfitblogging and "O hay look, this store has a sale! Are they a good store or do they suck?" and "LOOK! Look, I made this hideous thing look great with magic and accessories! Go me!" I'm not sure it counts but hey.

	The Cherry Blossom Girl is my favourite one. French but normally she posts in English too. She's all things floral, pastel, and feminine (which is quite my style). (Reply to this)(Parent)

I sometimes really wish that someone would write about fashion from the POV of someone who is neither rail thin nor plus-sized, you know? I know it's hard to find nice clothes if you're plus-sized, and I'm not saying there needs to be any less discussion of that, but there's this fashion no-man's-land between sizes, like, 8 and 12, where you're too curvy to wear things made for someone of a more model-type build, and plus-sized clothes that would actually be made for said curves, rather than just directly blown up from stick figure clothes, are too big.

It's something that's bothered me for a while. Does anyone know of a blog on this topic?
