Style Sirens

I adore fashion. Some styles are just pure class. Being able to dress, to accentuate your assets, to empower and flatter. To bring out the sex kitten but be untouchable at the same time.

Think of the styles of Audrey Hepburn (who doesn't adore THAT black and white), Sophie Loren, Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, some of the more modern people, Scarlett Johansson, Miranda Kerr, Claudia Schiffer...

Sadly most fashion these days is just about bring out the slut, and removing all the fences. Girls! Youre making it too damn easy! Last Saturday we went to the Verandah Bar, after a birthday party. The girls there were young and more undressed than dress! I suppose in this competitive age where a girl need to get the attention of MORE than one boy, to be noticed you need to focus appeal on a baser nature.

Anyway in the SMH Essential was an excellent article about dressing as a Style Siren.

Maybe 2009 will bring back the aloof sirens...

One can only hope.

LATER: I know its unrealistic but some manga artists do draw some amazingly stylish girls.
If only I had the figure...
