What If It Was J.Lo?
Even our posts match here on MegaStyles...So about Esquire AND the "Today Show"...West Side telly watcher Caitlin Leffel reports D. Granger was also on this morning promoting the "Women We Love" issue. Cover girl Britters is imitating some pin-up chick and in a side-by-side comparison, "our standards have definitely gone 'down' literally - the other woman's ass looked enormous compared to Britney." The airbrush artist refused to comment.

Live From The Esquire Fashion Den
Hearst's Fab Five (Jen, Kirsten, Annie, James, and Laura) Decree:
In:
crazy tights
fitted Lacoste T's
Mod (fun but costumey)
pin-tucked sleeves
chandelier earrings
heels that match earrings
Out:
faux fur
Especially mystifying:
The pants and skirts thing. Says fashion arbiter James: "the two...they never shall meet! And yet they do!" The one variation that works is "the sheer scarf wrapped around the waist, when the scarve is purely decorative and clearly not skirt-like in any way shape or form."

Coffee, Bagel, And Cojo
The "Today Show's" resident drag queen was back and in roaring spirits this morning. The super-highlighted friend of fashion let Al, Katie, and Matt in on more Hollywood oddities InStyle and People are plugging. Among the treasure:
-Takeouts. A new take on the old breast implant standby, the chicken cutlet.
-Footlights. A $109 cream Melanie Griffith smears on her feet. Yum yum gimme some.
-Fingerprint Necklaces. Instead of bronzing your offspring's feet or hands, go all FBI and do just the tips.

Haute Horreur
Isaac, we barely knew ye. Mr. Mizrahi caused quite a stir unveiling his temporary Rockefeller Center boutique last month. However, the anticipation soon proved unwarranted, as the genius's new line for Target was less "5th Avenue and Main Street" and more "Fat Avenue and Matron Skirts." Okay okay, we're sure Target didn't give Isaac a lot to work with. C-grade cotton was never used in his namesake line, nor had he ever tried to pass off burlap as tweed. But with only two weeks left to go, the only people sorry to see that storefront leave will be the corn-fed Kansans off the tour bus. We're sure that dinner at Planet Hollywood will cheer them up.

Babes For Bob
It was another night of heartbreak and humiliation as five more ladies were cut from the "Mrs. Bob" competition. While women named Misty and Hope vied for the affections of reality TV's "nice guy," MegaStyles noticed an astounding similarity between contestants, concluding there is a definitive "husband-hunting on TV" uniform.
Elements include:
1. Large floral print blouse. If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear the ugliest cabbage rose print you've got. Like rubbing hemorrhoid cream on puffy eyes, a trick that must be seen to be believed.
2. Flashy accessory. From the cowboy hat on the San Fran date to the boas worn by the belligerent burlesque wannabes, having one slightly costumey piece is sure to get you extra camera time, if not a rose.
3. Stripper-shiny lip gloss. Nothing says "pick me!" more like a dab of retina-searing lip shine.
4. Flat-ironed Hair. Curly haired girls, pack your bags. There's only room for one loopy-locked person in this couple. Bob and his boyish mop are here to stay.
5. Visine. Keeps the redness away in the confessional. You'll never get that movie deal looking all gross and blotchy.

About MegaStyles

Meghan Stier was a New York fashion editor until she moved to Cambridge, MA and decided to become a doctor. She, along with her new Birkenstock fetish, is working on her post-baccalaureate and has cancelled her Vogue subscription, although she still watches E! sometimes a lot.

She thinks Shakespearean characters make great names for pets, dislikes mesh Chinese slippers, and would like to make homemade mayonnaise one day but wonders if mayonnaise merits such effort.
