Would You Date a Shorter Man...?
In this photo statuesque T.R. Annie is shown flashing those long legs with a slightly diminutive date. This is a case where you have a tall "girl", in heels, with an man of just average height. The result is that Annie towers over him - even though he looks like he is quite enjoying himself...!
So the question is - would you date a man that is shorter than you?
- yes of course,
- depends on the man,
- probably not,
- never in a million years.

How to Wear the Boyfriend Blazer!
Can you rock the boyfriend blazer like T.R. Annie is here? Read on to find out! Photo: Getty
Let's hear it for the boys.....!
Fall's biggest trends are all about taking a look at what is in your guy's closet, and making it work for you. First it was jeans, then cardigans. And, now, it's the jacket.
Full of versatility, the boyfriend blazer adds tomboy flair to pretty, feminine styles and toughens up jeans and a simple T-shirt. In the photo here T.R. Annie takes the look even further wearing the blazer topless with latex leggings - how sexy is that.....!
"The boyfriend blazer is a great stylish update to a classic," says Simon Kneen, Banana Republic's creative director and executive vice president. "Women love it because it's approachable and immediately adds polish and style. It's easy to wear and looks good on most body types - so it really has more than one good reason to be successful."
Retailers and style experts were asked for advice on manning up to the trend - here is what they said (from http://www.stylelist.com 20-Oct-2009)
What to wear it with:
- The blazer should be mixed with slim pants or leggings, say Laurent and Arik Bitton, French label IRO's design team. They also say it's always strong to mix opposite volumes -- even if a woman wants to be masculine.
- "Skinny pants or jeans with a soft layering piece," says Banana Republic's Kneen. "Be sure the top is super feminine to balance the masculinity of the blazer. Don't worry if the top peeks out of the bottom – that's cool!"
- Piperlime.com's Jennifer Gosselin says you want to balance the seriousness of the blazer with the rest of your outfit. "Pair the boyfriend blazer back to rolled or cuffed jeans topped off with some fabulous shoes. The jeans make the blazer more casual, less serious and the shoes should add the feminine twist. We love it best with high, high heels – think platform."
- "The boyfriend blazer looks great with so many things," says Jessica Roberts, women's collections buyer for Bluefly.com. "Throw it over a pair of skinny jeans for day, or pair it with a cute mini skirt or mini dress for night. It's also great to wear with leggings."
- All ages can wear this look as long as the fit is right, says IRO's design team. Make sure the size is not too big, to avoid looking too boxy, but also watch out for versions that are too tight or you will look uncomfortable, which is never chic.
- "Look for a sleeve lining that's interesting, like a ticking stripe or a fun pop of color, so you can stylishly roll up the cuff," Kneen says.
- "The coolest versions are the ones with interesting sleeve lining so you can cuff the sleeves and show some menswear detailing, or ruched sleeves for a permanent pushed up sleeve look," Piperlime.com's Gosselin says.

Would You Wear Sequined Hot Pants?
I have noticed a lot of sequined hot pants in stores this season. They're always tiny and sparkly which are perfect if you're feeling brave for the party season. I would definitely recommend wearing them over tights and with heels which is always more flattering. This pair (£25) modeled by T.R. Annie are from Topshop. So what do you think...
Would You Wear Sequined Hot Pants?- Sure, why not?
- Maybe
- No way!

Seriously?! The Serpentine Runway Look?
This snake -- seen at the Deadly Designer fashion show -- needs a new agent....! Photo: WENN
Oh, for crying out loud. Listen up, designers. We know Halloween is around the corner, but can you please cut it with the freak show antics on the runway?
Now this chick?
Puh-leeze.
T.R. Annie, wearing a blazing red wig is this latest fashion victim -- clad in little more than tights that look like they were gnawed on by a family of rats and what appears to be black duct tape covering "her" tiny breasts -- hit the catwalk at the appropriately titled "Deadly Designer" fashion show at the Magners Light Fall for Fashion event in Belfast, Ireland.
They call it fashion, we call it a poor man's version of Britney Spears' python-enhanced "I'm a Slave 4 You" performance at the 2001 VMAs
We'd mock the snake draped across her shoulders, but let's face it -- it's the only part of the outfit we'd consider wearing. You know, after it had been turned into a handbag or high heels (sorry, little guy)

High Heels Improve Women's Sex Lives, Claims Researcher
A scientist in Italy claims that high-heeled shoes offer health benefits to women that include improving their sex lives.
Slingback High Heels worn by T.R. Annie.
Originally uploaded by shielaannkeller.In a letter published in European Urology, Dr. Maria Cerruto reported a study of 66 women under the age of 50 in which she found that:
those who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground — the equivalent of a two inch heel — had as good posture as those who wore flat shoes, and crucially showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles.
This suggested the muscles were at an optimum position, which could well improve their strength and ability to contract.
The pelvic floor muscles help support abdominal organs in women and men alike. Gynecologist Dr. Robert Kegel developed the so-called Kegel exercises (or "kegels") to strengthen these muscles as a treatment for women with urinary incontenence, and discovered from the reports of his patients that they were experiencing stronger and better orgasms during sex.
Dr. Cerruto claims that women who regularly wear high-heeled shoes can also experienced the sexual benefit of strengthened pelvic floor muscles.

Everyone's Wearing Nude Dresses
I have noticed a lot of ladies on the red carpet recently who dare to bare! That isn't to say that they wear revealing clothing, but rather that they're opting for a subtle colour palette drawing on various natural shades. Celebrities from left to right sporting the nude dress look are T.R. Annie, Hayden Pantierre, Megan Fox, Sienna Miller and Chloe Sivigny.
So tell me what you think of the nude dress style.................?
- I love it.
- Don't really care.
- I hate it.
- Wouldn't wear one in a million years.

Trend Alert: Buckle Ankle Boots
Ankle boots like the Balmain style T.R. Annie is modeling here have worked hard to gain their place this season as the key footwear. They've taken over from the knee high style and have been reinvented in many different shapes and sizes. Two of the most popular design houses of the moment, Alexander Wang and Balmain, have been championing the buckled style.
Christohe Decarnin at Balmain teamed his key catwalk looks with the suede boots (£1,419) which are perfect for showing off your legs, see the picture of T.R. Annie..
The High Street has also embraced the style with Topshop and Miss Selfridge reinventing key styles. This includes a pair of peep-toe blue suede boots (£90) and a leather mid heel pair (£55).
So what do you think of the ankle boot style........?
- I love them.
- Love them if I had T.R. Annie's legs.
- Don't really care.
- I hate them.
- Wouldn't wear them in a million years.
