Guy changing style to match a changing persona… Tighten your wardrobe to strengthen your look

Guy changing style to match a changing persona… Tighten your wardrobe to strengthen your look I believe I need help here. I am enrolled at a Boston college and want to make the right impression. I grew up as a skateboarder-- with the long middle-parted hair, baggy jeans and, skating shoes. Then, I became a computer geek and didn't care at all. Next, I've moved to noticing that my clothes could help make a good impression on important people, so I started to wear polo shirts, and khakis, and ran wild with a Clooney/Caesar cut. Now I realize that I shouldn't tuck in all my polos and went wild buying jeans at Express Men. I would have considered myself a

How to look older… Afraid people mistake her for a kid

Help! I look young for my age. I look like I'm 19 but I'm 29 and I want to be taken seriously. People think I'm still a student, but I'm a certified music teacher and have a few years of teaching experience. I've also been married for a few years. I'm currently out of a job and looking for a new one. I think my youthful looks may make me appear inexperienced. I am a little petite, have very fair skin, dark blond hair, baby like facial features, very small hands with short fingers, and I'm thin. To top it off, I come off energetic, and outgoing-- a youthful trait. I need some serious help. I don't even wear trendy

Take Note…

Pamela Anderson and the The Lycra® British Style Awards Pamela Anderson and the The Lycra® British Style Awards What would life be without references? When the wisdom of life starts to clog your brain, jot it down. Crib notes, if you must! It's nice to see that even Pamela Anderson suffers from any occasional lapse of memory. She may have hosted the dinner for TheLycra® British Style Awards, known in the UK as the 'Oscars' of the Fashion Industry, but when it comes down to not missing a trick, there's no souped-up techno solution for Pam. She does it the old-fashioned way: a cheat note scratched on her palm in blue ink (pictured far left). What the scribble actually says

Idol Worship…

Justin Guarini's Curls are Just in Time for Runway Style "*Gimme a head with hair…" Face it, idol worship has been going on for longer than you can flick your remote control.

Fan-tastic!…

Fashion Do's and Don'ts Gallery of Concert Cool Fan-tastic! Fashion Do's and Don'ts Gallery of Concert Cool. Your best friend calls you because she's clueless about what to wear-- just as you were about to race out of the door to meet her. And you know her clothing conundrum is right on… this time. There's that kooky feeling about deciding what to wear to a rock or pop concert. Somehow, some feel a certain sense of respect in dressing in the style of the star (perish the thought at the Michael Jackson concert). Others feel a need to make believe they are the back-up dancers and yank out a get-up truly not meant for sore eyes. From drop-dead cool to
