Sexy Halloween costumes are to be expected. Here's how to keep them classy.
You know the old Halloween is Slutoween adage. An annual October ritual where normal chicks indulge in their inner porn star. Hemlines rise, cleavage is pumped—a bloody prom Queen looks like something out of a fetish video and men never realized how attracted they were to Smurfette. Oh that blue skin! It's the most predictable of predictable, with many of us drifting into a lazy costume. We think: why not just put on a skanky leotard, handcuffs and cop hat? 7 Easy, Last-Minute Couples Costumes
And while, yes, Halloween is certainly an excuse to push those babies up … Read More
A bra with TV screens may help cure cancer.
While we aren't fans of tacky arts and crafts, if they're tacky arts and crafts with a cause, then we give 'em a pass.
Enter The Boob Tube Bra. Yes, that's right. A generous-sized bra with screens on each cup, encouraging, nay ensuring, that men focus on your other set of eyes. You can completely throw out the large-breasted lady plight of "men never look at my face! look up here mister." Yeah, that's out the window once you strap on this baby.

What men find truly hot and sexy might come as a surprise.
As impressionable young girls brainwashed by images of Pam Anderson (and slack jawed by her effect on men), many of us (foolishly) employed questionable clothing in the name of male approval. Got breasts? Let 'em pop, baby. Dress? Hike that hemline so high that sitting doubles as a gyno appointment. No bra, no problem. Too tight? Nay. Not tight enough. Dress Your Way to Better Sex
We were right, of course. Many a man's eye got a free all-day pass at our (practically) naked bodies. But oh how angry had we known an outfit out of Pam … Read More
Does his fashion sense make you cringe? Here's exactly what to do (and not do).
I once dated a guy who clothed himself almost exclusively in band t-shirts, pleated trousers, and an ever-present fanny pack. (And no, he wasn't a German tourist.) I remember thinking when we met that I'd finally cast eyes upon the archetypal rock critic. That he actually was a rock critic made the experience all the richer. Because he was smart, funny and cute-ish, I chose to overlook his sartorial missteps and we quickly fell in love. But despite my best efforts—including renaming the fanny pack his "colostomy bag"—I never could convince him to spiff up.

Kate Gosselin's a good mom in the face of humiliation. Here's why we're lowering our Team Jon flag.
Up till now, we have been carrying a torch for 'Team Jon' in the Gosselin pseudo-celebrity deathmatch arena. But St. Tropez? With a cut-off-short-wearing, ciggy-smoking 22-year-old mistress-turned-fiancee? To commemorate some upcoming t-shirt line? All while Kate is at home picnicking with the children and STILL wearing her wedding ring??! Jon Gosselin Introduces Mistress In France Jon Gosselin Engaged?

Start by tossing out all the undies that filled your pre-divorce lingerie drawer.
I get a lot of reader mail at FocusOnStyle.com — I think that I was born giving advice, but it’s well over a decade that I’ve been problem-solving professionally, and add another one to being in the fashion biz. So when it comes to pining away on dress dilemmas, I probably have heard (almost) everything, and seen plenty, including some bouts of male fraud.
But what about you, the dress distressed divorced diva? It’s been some time since you last went on a first date or that you even attempted to see what’s out there in Guyville. Can it still … Read More
