It's a Teeny Land we all live in
Two minor things before we get underway -
A salute to the khaki giant in the sky...a passionate khaki wearer who was more focused on important issues such as conservation, family, life and love.
Secondly (so trivial in comparison) - Meredith Grey you are a Derwent pencil short of the full 72 box set! Even relationship retarded me knows how stupid it is to be walking that damn dog!

Annaleise Subert
I hereby diagnose Annaleise with ugly-shoe-itis - either that or she doesn’t own a full length mirror. Why else, with this lovely red dress that hangs so nicely and accents her waist in a very womanly fashion, would she embrace the dreaded court shoe craze! Why! It makes what are probably a lovely set of pins look dumpy and almost cankle-ish.

Elise
WOW – where does one start with this monstrosity of dressing? The only redeeming feature of this entire ensemble is the sunset in the background. Seriously, this girl was booted off BB first for being thoroughly boring and she expects people to care about her now? Clearly her grab for attention included getting local graffiti artists to design her dress which is two sizes too small, whilst she was baking herself stupid at the local tanning bed. The fifteen minutes are so well and truly over, why beat the dead horse?


Fiona F
Life is a fine line that we walk all the time. My initial love and joy for Fiona and her weight loss has somewhat dissipated and yes that’s highly unfair I know, but these things happen. Firstly it must be stated that anyone who subjects themselves to a televised weight loss challenge will be forever after stared at and then, said starers will ask ‘does she look fat?’ Don’t pretend you don’t! This outfit on the left continues to under woo me, it’s an okay colour but the cut does absolutely nothing for her and neither does her stance – hips thrust forward, leg jutting out in a very unnatural fashion. It all seems to be slipping away…
Then Fiona commits the cardinal sin – more greater a foe I have never known than this damn kaftan thing! Who ever is selling these sheets/dress is making off like a bandit. I’ve yet to see one person wear it with style, grace and elegance – I’d even settle for cool but it just ain’t happenin’. And what’s more tragic is Fiona caps off the overused fashion trend but putting a bloody belt over it. This is reaching international crisis point!

Jodi Gordon
As much as one part of me thinks this outfit is a ridiculous knock off of that Melissa George Logies number from years ago, the other part of me loves it. It’s so weird – the puffy short is in no way an admirable outfit and if anyone tried emulate it they’d look stupid but somehow Jodi makes it work. The colour jumps, the belted waist and perfectly styled side swept hair all combine. It’s the ultimate case of the woman who maketh the clothes and not the clothes who ruineth the woman.

Lara Bingle
I sometimes feel my personal opinion colours my view on Bingers. However listening to some of the stuff her fellow skater had gently mentioned in their booting from the show, I get the feeling I am completely justified. Onto the more pressing matter – why is she wearing a tablecloth with a ribbon? Is she giving herself as a gift to herself? Is this how she got Eddie to sign her to Nine? Still I can’t be too Harsh coz I want her shoes.

Natalie Bassingthwaite (I’ve gave it try this time!)
The stunned expression on Nat’s face has many origins – I’m sure.
Origin 1: Holy God it’s freezing out here – how long until I can go inside?
Origin 2: I’m going to kill the makeup artists who layered my face with enough makeup to rival Christina Aguilera.
Origin 3: I miss my blonde Izzy hair.
Origin 4: How much does the guy I’m with look like Jared Leto in the new John Lennon movie.
Origin 5: I feel this dress makes me look Playboy mansion-y and not the way I’d hoped for.

Natalie Blair
Life is so confusing for Natalie, what with being a gangster daughter and then coming back as nun and winning a silver Logie and having everyone then bag the crap out of you. Still, with all this confusion you’d think she’d be able to put her dress on the right way. Apparently not. It’s a shame too, coz pieces of this puzzle are worthy, the bag, shoes and even the misplaced head scarf could have contributed but it’s all just…backwards (get it!)

Pippa Black
This has to be a joke, or better yet a dare. Hysterically funny and I think Pippa will win her $100 bet, but if for some unknown reason it’s not – MAN HAVE YOU STUFFED UP! In quite possibly the ugliest fabric I’ve ever seen, the dress then tops its own awfulness with a cut that would make Nicole Richie seem obese. Pippa’s proud stance only further craps on what is a contender for the worst dress of the year.

Saskia Burmeister
Go Sasky, Go! While her teeny bopper counter parts fell around her like fashion flies, Saskia looks great. Gorgeous colour dress and hair and makeup all work a treat. A minor deduction for inappropriate bangles but hey, it’s a minor. This was the frumpy little teen from that Delta movie …what a transformation! A side note – is anyone noticing an eerie resemblance to Mary Louise Parker?


Stephanie McIntosh
I’m firmly beginning to believe that the Neighbours cast all went in on some colossal horrible fashion joke – maybe even meant for some one like me - I’m being Punked! Still, I’m just behind the keyboard kiddies – not marching down the red carpet in Dannii Minogue’s Young Talent Time wardrobe. Seriously, Steph – this is getting beyond a joke. How, in your right mind would a tutu ra ra skirt seem like a good idea? It would never.
And here’s what’s disappointing …inside the venue Steph, look pretty okay. The shorts and heels elongate her legs to give her a fantastic height lift. The colour is popping and it’s not making her look too wide. Granted they are a little Harry Highpants but from Ms Mac, I’m letting it go –as Catriona Rowntree learnt to dress around her hips so must Steph and here is the first step in the right direction.
