Court Then Clubbing...

Lindsay Lohan is taking some stick for wearing this dress to court. The main beef with the outfit is that it would be equally at home on the dance floors of most nightclubs, and perhaps more appropriate. Lohan was in court facing a charge of felony grand theft. It is alleged that Lohan lifted a USD 2,500 piece of jewelery, a necklace, from a jewelery store in Venice Beach, California.

Lohan has pleaded not guilty and released on USD 40,000 bail.If convicted, Lohan faces, possibly, a few years in the big house.

I guess this is one of those stories that whets our collective appetites for celebrities coming off the rails and crashing and burning frequently in the public eye. For Lohan, it is sad that a career that started with such promise has fizzled out through self-destructive behaviour.

So, what about that dress...is there a little bit of Basic Instinct and Sharon Stone happening there. Hopefully Lohan did not recreate the most famous scene from that movie for the benefit of the judge.

Ho hum...

Prom Night

Prom night has never been a tradition in Australia in the way it is a tradition in the US. We, Australians, have the end of year "formal" which is sometimes a slap-up affair. Yet, I just have never felt that it has taken on the same "coming of age" importance that it has in the US.

However, this is a post about wanting to attract attention and push the limits of school dress codes to the absolute limits. In this story out of Houston, Texas, the limits of fashion seem to have been pushed let alone the school's dress code!

The dress might be a bit of a fashion crime but handcuffing the young lady and dragging her off to the cop shop seems a bit extreme!

I am guessing the dress (can you call it a dress?) turned a few heads, particularly those testosterone charged teenagers that would have not been able to help themselves from donning the old beer goggles at their senior prom!

A prom to remember!
