I'm always looking at the fit of clothing and body types and noticed this in the grocery line...

The photographer is naturally looking for some light and shade, which for most of us is created by natural curves. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.

Her pants were doing a major wedgie and the inseams were crawling where no inseam should go I also find myself watching news anchors. Sometimes the men are a real hoot. I ask my husband..."who dressed that man"!??? They will mix stripes and checks with almost anything. I'll never forget when my oldest son started picking out his clothes to wear for the day(3 or 4 years old)...one day he came out with a red shirt and red pants..."but Mama, it's red".

I have no idea who dresses the football commentators, but they clearly have no clue about what colors and patterns go together. While DH is listening to blah blah football talk, I'm utterly distracted by how that pocket square doesn't go with the tie or the shirt and how the overall color just washes out the commentator.

I think the "extreme forward shoulder" is an illusion created by the photographer's lighting and posing directions. Notice that the model's upper arm is extended backward, her elbow bent and her wrist extended upward. Try doing that yourself, and you'll see it's not a normal or comfortable position for anyone to hold. You'll also notice that your shoulder juts forward, regardless of how much padding you have. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale. Richard Dawkins
