Glammed-up or hottie-casual? You tell us.
Looking luxe, Shione.
I guarantee you I’m never going to be a co-host on Project Runway or America’s Next Top Model. First of all, Heidi and Tyra are not into me, which is totally understandable. Secondly, what they have the girls wear on these shows and their copycats are nothing less than degrading atrocities. Who would wear this garbage, in any situation? So you can tell I’m not a fan of high-falutin’ glamour-wear or anything like it. Which leads me to my blog question of the day.
What do you like to see SCORE, V-Mag and XL Girls wearing in the opener of a pictorial or video? Now, my taste in what girls wear in general runs to what I call “hottie casual.” I’m proud of that. Less is always more to me, especially with the model’s outfits. There’s a price tag to my fashion interests, like sometimes being called “filthy lech,” “swine” and “sexist pig.” I’m proud of that too. It would be nice if girls wore fantasy costumes and stripperwear in everyday life, but the human race has not evolved highly enough yet. I figure another 500 years.
Natalie goes Daisy Dukes.
Tube dresses. Invented by a genius.
Some readers have told me that they like to see a model wearing what she might wear in a supermarket, aka “everyday life.” But the majority of women (in this country, anyway) dress low-key and are not into wearing clothes that show off their bodies in “everyday life.” I don’t know what supermarkets those guys go to, but I see a lot of baggy jeans and loose tops or long dresses in the one I shop in. And what the models wear in department-store catalogs (except for the bra ads) is boring.
So my question to you is this: In the photos and vids, do you prefer to see a model glammed-up like Shione Cooper with her fur coat and all the rest of the glamour-puss trimmings, or do you go for “hottie casual” like Natalie Fiore idealizes with her high-cut denim shorts? And what are some of your favorite outfits you’ve seen the girls wear in recent times?
Last year, we ran a poll asking “What is your favorite look in a model?” 26% picked glammed-up, 48% picked Girl-Next-Door and a large 26% answered that it didn’t matter. (Probably because they skip the clothing shots completely until the models show skin.) Please comment below or email Scorecard@scoregroup.com.
