A Fabby Halloween: Barbarella

Apparently, Barbarella was the star of many male fantasies back in the day.

Apparently, Barbarella was the star of many male fantasies back in the day. It's no wonder why — just look at the Queen of the Galaxy. Jane Fonda wowed audiences in the 1968 erotic science fiction Barbarella. In retrospect, the rinky dink special effects wowed me upon first viewing, as did Barbarella. With her teased blonde mane and Paco Rabanne designed wardrobe she embarked on wild intergalactic adventures, and love affairs, in style. Part fetish-wear, part space age chic, every girl should play the Queen of the Galaxy in her lifetime.

Special tip: when I was Barbarella I raided my local fabric store for metallic and sparkly fabrics. I sort of twisted and pinned them wherever they worked (and to give me coverage in sensitive areas). And don't forget about fun with plastic!

bbkf dressed up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's last year. She looks like a spitting image of Audrey Hepburn in her famous pose, Givenchy dress, elbow-length black gloves, pearls, updo, and cigarette holder.

Congrats to bbkf!

Juicy Couture Polka Dot Tights: Love It or Hate It?

I am all for tights.

I am all for tights. In fact, I am wearing a brown ribbed pair today. But when they veer towards childlike, I just have to say no. These Juicy Couture Polka Dot Printed Microfiber Tights, $40, remind me a lot of the tights little girls wear to fancy events. Do you second the emotion?

Many have a love/hate relationship with stylist Rachel Zoe; but whether or not you approve of her talents, you can't deny her great influence in the celebrity style world.

Many have a love/hate relationship with stylist Rachel Zoe; but whether or not you approve of her talents, you can't deny her great influence in the celebrity style world. Whether Zoe is more influential than Anna Wintour is questionable.

If you're on team Rachel, you'll appreciate her Five Must-Have Shoes for Women. Prices range from $70 to $600.

Have fun during your Zoe-ification process!
