Fashion Week Choice Links

Bored games: Who’s Naked? is an adult version of the popular children’s game Guess Who? But instead of asking about glasses and curly hair, I guess you ask about nether region hirsuteness and size and shape.
The boys from Ournz.co.nz are travelling heartland New Zealand, talking to locals about fashion. Priceless. Story here. Video here.
I can’t believe there’s a market for this in New Zealand: But if you want to rent an ugly handbag for a week (it’ll cost you between $70 and a whopping $400) go to Arm Candy. Hang onto the thing for dear life, because if you loose it or it gets nicked, you have to cough up to replace it.
Instant online makeover: Upload a good photo of yourself and you will be able to try on makeup and hairstyles. You have to register and sign in to do so. Or browse the galleries of people who are taking the technology seriously or not so seriously.
Your appalling sense of fashion might be down to your eyesight. Take this colour vision test to see if you are sartorially disabled. I scored 18, (0 is good, 99 is bad).
Current TVs Target Women on Botox: Express yourself, by removing parts of your expression. How to get pretty without using any ugly words.
Video: One of my all time favourite videos … “Shoes”, by Kelly, the alter ego of comic actor Liam Sullivan. Enjoy!

That hue test is hard. I ended up with a score of 7.

I got 12. So does this mean I have a better sense of fashion than Ana, but not as good as Melissa? Probabaly not. I’ve never been accused of having any fashion sense at all! It probably has more to say about the colour renditioning (true meaning – not American kidnapping) of my computer monitor.

I doubt it has so much to do with your computer monitor – I got a perfect score on an old computer that took a long time to load the page, but when my friend took the test (on the same computer) she got over 80.

I got 0! Perfect colour vision. Quite stoked.
