Tennis Skirts
If you are not that keen on wearing the ubiquitous mini skirt that is being forecasted as a sure-fire fashion staple for Spring 2006, summon up your inner athlete and go with a short, pleated tennis-inspired skirt made of comfortable, wearable sweatshirt fabric instead. This fashion-forward key constituent of the preppy trend will make you look sporty chic when a casual look is in the cards.
The 'tennis whites' look, however, is pass?. The flirty, pleated white skirt may be considered a classic in the strictest tennis circles but you could alternatively add a little punch to your sporty wardrobe by going in for some interesting fashion variations. Tennis skirts are now available in a variety of sporty colors, silhouettes and cuts, and look fabulous in soft and vibrant hues like peach, aqua, olive green and ruby red.
This is a very informal sporty style, so it is best to pair tennis-inspired skirts with preppy items like the classic polo shirt or a tennis tee. Fashion critics advise not to pair it with sneakers off the court. These little skirts look great when worn with strappy wedges, Speedo sandals or even round-toed pumps.
Although fashionistas and others in the know often declare that for pleated and multi-layered skirts, the shorter the better, it is advisable to keep the length at mid-thigh and team tennis skirts with a modest sports t-shirt if you intend to wear it for a serious game of tennis. Indian player Sania Mirza was recently in the eye of a storm due to her midriff-baring tennis attire. India's Sunni Ulema Board, a Muslim organization, issued an edict in October 2005 demanding Sania to cover up during her tennis matches, and described her tennis clothes as "un-Islamic.".

Long Skirts
Although a certain look is always a rage because it is a season signature, the long slit skirt is a classic gem that typifies elegant, understated glamour. Usually worn by women in their late 20s and 30s, long skirts are generally preferred by confidant, sophisticated women who can boast a life well lived.
Leaf through any fall-winter fashion glossy, and there it is-long, slim and, if one's figure is hourglass personified, slit to the thigh. Forget about the flirty floor-skimming skirts of yore. These new-look long skirts, slit to midthigh and snaking sinuously to the ankles in comfortable stretch fabrics, are a real class act.
The difficulty with this chic look lies in successfully putting it all together. If you want to wear long, narrow skirts, the jacket has to be just the correct proportion and you must team it with high heels, or the look simply will not work.
Full peasant skirts, on the other hand, flatter most body types but in particular, petite...

BYO Water When You Fly
A recent random sampling of airplane drinking water revealed a shocking statistic: the tap water on one in eight planes had harmful bacteria including coliform and E. coli.Consequently, the Environmental Protection Agency has directed some airlines to test their own water, only once a year per aircraft, though.There have never been any regulations for potable water on planes.The E.P.A. now says it plans to regulate airplane water. But first -- they will take samples from 169 flights over the next two years. "This drop in the bucket hardly constitutes an effective investigation.
There are more than 169 flights landing every two hours at Chicago's O'Hare Airport," says jet safety and wellness authority Diana Fairechild.Fairechild adds, "Though airline planes fly high and fast, airline regulations fly slow and low, if at all.""Thirty years ago," she said, "when my stewardess uniform had a mini skirt and bowler hat, I asked a Pan Am mechanic how they treated the drinking water because...

Fall/Winter Fashion for Teens - 2004-2005
Anything burgandy, which I love seems to be one of the fall colours. Also love dark brown. There is lots of brown in many shades, but still reds, blacks, greys, greens. Much better color selection this fall than last year when where there was almost only black, red and olive greens.The fashion mood is mix-and-match with girly looks such as ruffles, embroidery, fringe, sparkles, creative colors, playful patterns. This is a departure from the hard-core sex appeal from seasons past.Satin is not just for evenings anymore...bring it into the light during the day by pairing a satin camisole with a fitted jacket or wear a satin skirt with a knitted cardigan.
This fabric also looks great with denim. Bottom line, the best way to wear it is to highlight just one piece: a little satin goes a long way.Best example - pink satin cami under a blazer.Ponchos, capes and wraps continue to make news. There are lots of quirky tweeds, funky mohair and slinky jeans, shrunken tweed blazers worn with...

The Joke that is Golf
Okay firstly, it's not golf which vexes me, its the people behind the scenes. How they can condone women playing in a men's tournament is beyond me e.g. Michelle Wie! This is not a sexist rant, why should women be able to play in men's tournaments? If it's a men's tournament, then surely it's for men only, if women want to play with men, they should play in a mixed tournament! If women can play in men's tournaments, why can't men put on a skirt and compete in the women's tournament, its ludicrous! On the surface it appears to be sexist, sexist against men that is, as this is clearly unfair and ridiculous. It's like women competing in the men's 400m at the Olympic Games. It just isn't right, my beliefs is that in sport where men have a clear physical advantage, then they should keep the sexes in separate competitions.
To me it seems like common sense. Who knows what the R&A are thinking!.
