When Skinny Wasn't Popular



Girls, listen to this - yes, you can have some meat on your bones and be hot.  In fact, it's probably best to because Skinny Girls are NOT Glamour Girls.

Of course, this goes for the guys too.  But I don't listen to advice from comic books.  :P

What is a capsule collection?



I wondered... What is a capsule collection?

Fashion fascinates me. The ideas behind a design, the people who dictate what's cool and what's "in", and the process of bringing an idea to life are all part of this wonderful lifestyle that I like to follow online and off. Go figure then, that I kept coming across a term that I'd never heard before - A Capsule Collection.

At first I thought it was something wild and Japanese; like Gachapon dispensers that new youthful labels were utilizing in their marketing. I remembered Dragon Ball Z had Capsule Corp., maybe a Capsule Collection is a term from that series. I even thought that maybe it was something to do with Akira and Kaneda's jacket with the pill on the back. Nope. I was dead wrong.

I found the answer at Yahoo! Answers. They tell me that a Capsule Collection is "...a set of apparel items -- say six to twelve articles -- by the same designer, that, when used together in different combinations, can produce about twenty different looks (outfits). A capsule wardrobe entails the same concept, however, apparel items can come from a number of designers. Each piece of the capsule must be interchangeable and mix and match well together."
I wondered and now I wonder no more.
