There was a funny article in Sunday's Age about "fashion speak" - just had to post my favourites!

Muffin top - the fold of fat around the midriff that spills over the top of low-rise jeans

Hope Couture - the clothes you keep in the back of your wardrobe in the hope that you will fit into them again

Tanorexic - a person who thinks they can never be tanned enough

Floordrobe - where you put your clothes when you can't be bothered hanging them up

Cellulights - unflattering changeroom lighting

Bleavage - bum cleavage

Cankles - calves+ankles - used to describe really fat ankles

Guyliner - eyeliner on men

Anybody have any more good ones?

Along the lines of cankles:

Thuttocks - where your butt becomes your thighs, no delineation. Just - well, thuttocks.

And

A Monet - from far away he/she is gorgeous, but up close they're just a big old mess (stole this one from Clueless!)

Another one like this is Butter - Gorgeous, BUT HER body/face etc

Got another one; and I'd just like to say that I overhead an ex-boyfriend say this (to my disgust), so I take no responsibility! But I will just say: men, bah.

BOGHOP - body of goddess, head of pig.

:chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:

ok so this time i nearly spat my mouth full of lunch out

I too am rolling on the floor laughing. :chuckle:

I am afraid I suffer from the terrible "Floordrobe"

Oh, I have floodrobe like you wouldn't believe.

These are sooo funny. Can't think of one now but have been using 'she's SUCH a Monet' since Clueless too!!!!!

Hahahaha oh my God, that is too good. Similar to "Prawn" (the body is good but discard the head), and "Paper Bag Job" (don't make me explain).

Oh I SOOO have a floordrobe! Especially towards the end of the week.. all my work clothes that I want to hand wash or things i'll wear again like a jumper... they usually get put away on the weekend.. oh and my clean clothes get piled there too!!

BOGHOP- i'm still laughing :waving::whistle::chuckle::chuckle:

Not sure where I should be posting this but the thread "fashion speak" caught my eye. I was almost going to flick this from the inbox when I read about Zara coming to Australia!

Make sure you click on the images, it's fascinating.

*bump*

Couldnt resist sharing this pic with you. It is from the recent Spring Fashion Show by Chanel. What an amazing concept!

Wow! That's amazing!

hahah, cute :)

I love the circular seating and runway. Also love how the models leave and enter from the Chanel jacket. Very clever!

WOW , so amazing

That's so COOL

I think Chanel wanted to out-do their last show. Check out these pics from their recent Winter Show with the carousel. There is a you tube link too. Check out the closer shot for the handbag and the take on the Chanel Camelia. Amazing!

That's amazing! I want one of those big CC logos for my wall!

i've heard of those two before but none of the other ones - they're quite clever aren't they? apparently there's a whole website of those type of words, not necessarily ones to do with fashion but just everything! dont' know what it is though, i'll try to find it another day ... but those ones are quite clever. :D

I love guyliner :)

so cool! great thread.

From the FiFi report this week....
