freddy&ma

happy halloween

we like halloween.......correction....LOVE halloween.......the whole "game" of freddy&ma when we were kids involved a lot of costumes and we're still not over it.  matter of fact, we kind of think that there should be a costume party every weekend.....going out in regular clothes is just too boring.  so hope you're having fun out there cause you can bet we are (minus the candy, we actually ARE too old for that.....and freddy has moral issues with processed sugar)

deep thoughts from gawker

during my designated trashy-blog-reading-time today i read this most hilarious post on gawker which summed up my long-standing thoughts on girls with short hair.

Bored of hair? Well, good news in the fake hair trend department, courtesy of New York mag.  "Who's cutting off their shags and manes? Right now, lots of people."  Lots of people besides models and actresses? Well, no. People are not actually dumb enough to believe a pixie cut is going to look cute on anyone but the youngest and most bone-structurally blessed among us. Seriously, even the most stereotypical of lesbians are beginning to be like "Um actually that is a really unflattering look for most people." [NYM]

the grass is greener over here!

We love all the eco-conscious press that comes out this time of year, from the Vanity Fair green issue to the March Domino Magazine issue on natural living. In honor of April, we’ve put together a few stylish reasons why, yes, every day should be Earth Day.

stop the insanity!

Freddy sent me this article today and we felt it was particularly relevant to F&M
and the message we want to send.  PLEASE READ!
In Spain they are putting restrictions on models requiring that they meet a BMI of at least 18.  They feel that the fashion industry has a responsibility to portray a healthy image and that the use of waif-like models contributes to eating disorder and poor body image.

sad news

It was a sad day when Lord & Taylor moved into the former home of John Wanamaker's in Philadelphia, but MACYS.........that's just tragic.  If you have ever been curious to find out what resulted in the "fall" of department stores, check out The End of Fashion by Teri Agins and then helplessly watch from the sidelines as Macy's moves to take over the world.  The article from WWD is below.
