between you and me, these "pants" look like they're going to eat the wearer alive!

fear the attack of the WIDE LEG FLOWER PRINT TROUSERS! ACK!

if you weren't quite sure the magic involved, or how much effort it takes a girl to go from spotty, 21-year-old (albeit a tall, lanky, possibly unusual and/or ethnic looking 21-year-old) to an all-out sex-bomb, let nymag remind you with their little collection of before & after photos of a recent gucci show.

cribbed directly from one of my favourite sites, jezebel,  this is a piece of ingenious thinking...

"road safety is so hot right now! Iconic fashion designer karl lagerfeld has deigned to appear in a french ad promoting road safety. the copy reads: "It's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't go with anything, but it could save your life," referring to a yellow reflector vest. you're supposed to wear it when your car craps out on the side of the road so you don't get hit by other cars driving past you (or when helping schoolchildren cross the road!). of course, the thought that karl would get out and try to fix his car if it broke down (let alone the thought of him driving himself) is kind of far-fetched. oh well, at least he's promoting a good cause!"
