The new trend: Transparent clothes!

Silk Dress Shirt What's in there? Mr. Fussy owns a collared white shirt monogrammedwith the words "High on Stress," a phrase he spotted in the movie"Revenge of the Nerds." He also possesses two lovely, tailoredsuits, purchased back when you could get a good tailored suit for$500. In more questionable taste, there is also a shirt portraying JohnnyDamon in the center of a Last Supper tableau, surrounded by his2004 Red Sox teammates. "We're Saved!" the shirt declares. Mr. F.also owns a very expensive, 70 percent bamboo, 30 percent organiccotton, T-shirt from jondno, fair trade purveyors of "luxuriouseco-fashion" and of "ecoKashmere." This shirt has never been worn. Who would defile this perfectgarment, by rubbing it against his body? And who has the time toparse the "proper care" instructions? What? No trashion? Trashion is a portmanteau word combining"fashion" and "trash." Here is an example: a $28 dog collar madefrom a "repurposed" silk necktie. That would be trashion for thedog. For the human in your family, there are bracelets made fromrecycled auto parts, and necklaces made from recycled librarycards. As you can imagine, there is considerable overlap betweenthe glamorous worlds of trashion and freecycling, which involvepicking up other people's trash. What to wear? It's enough to drive you fashion crazy. Mr. Fussy'sfavorite guide to the vagaries of the cultural moment, The New YorkTimes's T magazine, has declared that "craziness is all thefashion." Remarking on looks pioneered by troubled youngsters suchas Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, writer Kara Jesella observesthat "unwashed hair, that hallmark of depression, insanity andaddiction, has rarely looked so appealing." Only recently has Mr. Fussy learned about "shapewear," a neologismbehind which, he suspects, lurks the word "girdle." But shapewearis a less constricting word, redolent of "discomfort," which hassupplanted "pain" in the modern lexicon. And "pressure." Dentistslove to say, "You might feel a little pressure." But Mr. Fussy has lost the thread. Shapewear has proven quitepopular for women, and now men are squeezing their swollen waistsinto what no one wants to call male girdles or "mirdles." (Perhapsthey should use the actual word: truss.) Los Angeles designerAndrew Christian has introduced the Flashback Butt LiftingTechnology Boxer, which promises "the perfect bubble butt." Comingsoon: the "Waist Eliminator" from Go Softwear, featuring an elasticwaistband that reaches up to the mid-torso. But will it betransparent? Mr. Fussy hopes so, for fashion's sake.

Dodge ball fashion in this summer

Shorts And ShirtsIF YOU thought childhood games like dodge ball ended with fifthgrade, think again. The Up High/Down Low Dodgeball League of LosAngeles is carrying on the team sport with all the excitement of agroup of over-caffeinated kids, but with the edgy style of thecreative types, comedians and club promoters who make up the teamsthat play every Monday night at the Bellevue Recreation Center inSilver Lake. Inside the rec center, the roar of supporters and the screeching ofsneakers make the scene sound like a high school basketball game.But walk through the doors and music from the likes of Depeche Modeand Digable Planets blares from the speakers, revving up theplayers and fans who look like an American Apparel ad on steroids. Extra-short gym shorts, vintage shirts, thigh-high tube socks andmetallic leggings topped off with sweatbands in every color of therainbow run back and forth in a blur. Players hurl little rubberballs with the fervor of women waiting to enter the doors of theManolo Blahnik sample sale. There are six balls flying at a time --at the players, into the stands -- though the object, of course, ispelting someone on the opposite team and getting him or her "out."Some players are fueled by a happy hour cocktail, others just pureadrenaline. All of them take their personal style to new levelswhen on the court. Team $tatu$ Faction's unifying colors are black and gold. CatChiang paired her gold foil T-shirt with matching metallic hotshorts and yellow New Balance sneakers.

Bandannas are a requirement for TeamBandan-a-rama, whose members wear different-coloredbandannas aroundtheir necks, with leggings and V-neck tees.

The style is a long way from the schoolyard, but the enthusiasm forthe game is right out of grade school. And judging by the length,so are some of the shorts.

Fairytale Oakleigh wedding gown made it on time

Design Wedding GownSTEPHANIE Faoro's wedding day was saved by a "hero"holding a pair of scissors, fabric and sewing machine. The Mt Waverley bride walked down the aisle on Saturday in herfairytale wedding gown which she picked up only the day before. Last year, Stephanie found her perfect design at a Ringwooddressmaker. But after paying the full $2200 in May, she sensedsomething was wrong. "I kept asking them whether it would be ready and they keptassuring me it was fine," Stephanie said. Even Rene Tamasauskas, of Oakleigh's Tamasauskas Design,commissioned to make the matron-of-honour and flowergirl dress,said the bride was overreacting. But when Stephanie arrived for her fitting on May 27, thedressmaker had gone out of business. "They said there was no money, no dress, at which point Iburst out into tears," she said. Stephanie then rushed to Tamasauskas Design with nothing more thana roll of silk duchess satin and hope. "By Friday the lining and the skirt were already done and bythe next Wednesday it was finished," she said. "They are my heroes. They were able to make the same dress andonly charged me $1500." Ms Tamasauskas said the dress was made with the least amount oftrauma possible. "We don't have second chances in this business because we arealways working to deadlines," Ms Tamasauskas said. "All you need is some scissors, some fabric, a sewing machineand a mannequin." Stephanie married Matthew Kelly at Nathania Springs Receptions inMonbulk on Saturday, with her daughter, Madeleine, 2, as the flowergirl.

Russert death shows massive heart attack isn't easy to predict

Power Diet Shoes"Jim Fixx had multivessel coronary disease he couldn't do anythingabout, no matter how many veggies he ate or miles he ran," Califfsays. "Wearing a seat belt doesn't guarantee you aren't going toget killed in a car crash." Russert's death is a wake-up call to thousands of men who neverthought they might be courting a coronary, says Cam Patterson,chief of cardiology at the University of North Carolina-ChapelHill. "You wouldn't believe the calls we've been getting," Pattersonsays. "Here's an example of a high-profile person who everyonethought was healthy. When someone like that has a medicalcatastrophe, it causes everyone to focus." Warning signs Both men had ample warning they were prime candidates for heartattacks. Russert had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease,his doctor told MSNBC. Fixx had a terrifying family history,including a father who had a fatal heart attack in his early 40s. And both took steps to reduce their odds of the same fate.Russert's doctor, Michael Newman, prescribed medication andexercise. He told MSNBC that Russert performed well on a stresstest in April. Fixx, who reached the height of his fame beforecholesterol-lowering drugs were widely available, changed his diet,laced up his running shoes and ate up the miles. Russert's death seemed all the more shocking for the era in whichit occurred, one of rising optimism about potentcholesterol-lowering drugs and decreasing death rates from heartdisease. Just over a year ago, a team led by researchers at the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention reported that the death rate fromheart disease in the USA has dropped by 50% from 1980 to 2000,thanks to improvements in medical treatment and a reduction in riskfactors. The researchers credited those advances — including intensivecholesterol-lowering and blood pressure control for heart attackpatients and a drop in smoking rates — with saving anestimated 341,000 lives that would have been lost to heart diseaseif conditions in 1980 had persisted. For all those advances, however, medical science still has nodefinitive way to tell in a given individual when "something's justaround the corner," says cardiologist Sidney Smith at UNC. Thedifferent tests at doctors' fingertips provide varying amounts ofinformation but not, typically, what doctors and patients most wantto know. For instance, a routine stress test, performed using a combinationof a treadmill and electrocardiogram, can disclose heart rhythmabnormalities that occur during exercise when blockages prevent theheart's blood supply from meeting its growing demand. Nuclear andultrasound stress tests produce cloudy images and information onheart function. CT heart scans, a series of rapid-fire X-rays,reveal calcified blockages in the coronary arteries. None revealsan imminent heart attack. The best indicators, Califf says, are standard risk factors forheart disease: blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, diabetes,stress, diet, exercise and abdominal obesity. Reliable, not perfect, data Plugged into a formula called the Framingham Risk Score, the riskfactors provide reliable odds of a person's heart attack risk. Theodds are derived from real world experience — an ongoing,60-year-old heart study among thousands of residents of Framingham,Mass. But the Framingham score is imperfect, too. Half of all heartattacks occur in people who have no risk factors and 20% in peoplewith no major risk factors. The reason lies in the biology of the coronary artery. In landmarkresearch, Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic has shown that whencholesterol begins collecting in artery walls, it pushes themoutward, not into the channel where blood flows. So many patients— Russert included — experience no symptoms of heartdisease. Heart attacks occur when a plaque becomes inflamed and bursts,sending blood clots and debris downstream to lodge in arteriessupplying the heart. Standard diagnostic tests don't reveal theseinflamed cholesterol deposits or plaques. Over the past few years,researchers led by Paul Ridker of Harvard have shown that testingfor a chemical signal of inflammation, called C-reactive protein,or CRP, can add predictive power. But many heart attacks are still unpredictable. Russert's is atextbook example. Making positive changes UNC's Patterson says allowing fatalism to grow out of theuncertainty is the wrong thing to do, because you can dramaticallyreduce the odds that you'll be next by reducing the risk factors. "I try to eat well, avoid fatty foods, eat seafood a couple oftimes a week," he says. "I don't smoke. I have a regular exerciseregimen. I run three or four times a week. I try to build it intomy lifestyle." Not making such practices a permanent change is "a big mistakepeople make," he says. "It needs to be the thing you do on a dailybasis. "If there's one key message I try to get home to people, it'sthis," Patterson says. "There's great news. Over the last 30 years,we've substantially reduced deaths from heart disease in the U.S. "But it's still the leading cause of deaths and disability. Halfthe people who are walking around are going to die at some point ofheart disease."

Nicky Hambleton-Jones: Effortless Summer Style

stacked heel shoeSummer’s almost here, bringing with it the usual bikinipanic, accessory envy and makeup meltdown. Don’t get leftbehind with these fantastic on-trend wardrobe, beauty and accessorytips from 10 Years Younger presenter Nicky Hambleton-Jones. Maire Bonheim chatted to style guru Nicky Hambleton-Jones about thehottest statement accessories to update your summer look, the bestsummer beauty products and the best way to ban muffin tops. What are your essential summer wardrobe must haves? If you want to invest in just a few things to spruce up lastyear’s wardrobe, I would say one of the key pieces is anoversized clutch handbag – it’s the must-haveaccessory, so it’s definitely worth investing in somethingpatent, mock crock or a bright colour that will set off any outfit.Platform wedge heels – we get wedge heels every year but thisyear particularly we’ve got stacked wooden platform heelsthat are very popular, but also interesting wedge heels, so cut outwedges, narrow wedges and anything that’s a wedge heel isgoing to update your look. Gladiator sandals, for those with veryslim calves and elegant feet – they’re not for everyonebut again are a very on trend accessory. Waisted belts, and alsostars, spots, stripes are a very key look – and that can beanything from tops to belts to shoes to bags, a necklace, anythingthat’s got the element of stars, stripes and spots. What summer fashion disasters should women avoid at all costs? Don’t flash too much flesh. We’ll get a hot summer dayand next thing you know the strappy tops come out and we just getboobs tumbling forth, muffin tops or love handles on show –so think about your body shape when it comes to summer. Yes, itmight be hot, but you can still wear something that’s fittedwithout being too clingy or too short or just too revealing. What High Street shops are your favourites? I change from season to season but Zara is always a big favouriteof mine because their collections change so regularly and theydon’t have a big collection of something so you can get aone-off piece that’s quite unique even though it is a highstreet store. I think places like French Connection are fantasticfor basics, and places like Joy – Joy is great if you wantsomething that’s a bit more eclectic, edgy and different– it’s great but affordable. What’s your one essential style tip for women of differentshapes? Whatever body shape you are, always try and create a waist, whetherit’s with a tailored jacket or a waisted belt. The minuteyou’ve got a waist, the rest of you will look in proportionand you look curvy, which creates a much slimmer physique. What’s the worst thing you can do to affect your looks? The worst things you can do for your skin are definitely sun damageand smoking – that causes 80% of premature lines andwrinkles, so you definitely want to avoid that. Also, wearing baggyand shapeless clothes. That piles the years on. Would you recommend surgery to everyone or can you prevent ageingwith beauty products? I think you can prevent ageing with beauty products and also byreducing your exposure to UV rays and environmental pollution.That’s the main thing to be honest, and you can do thatthrough great beauty products that are filled with antioxidants andhave some protectional factors, and also eating a diet that’shigh in antioxidants so you can actually protect your skin from theinside out. Drinking lots of water as well can make a bigdifference. What are some of your favourite summer beauty products? I love Clinique’s Superdefense moisturiser – which hasSPF protection but is still quite light, so it’s perfect forsummer. Johnson’s Holiday Skin all over glow is great on thebody, and Avon have got a fantastic new dual eye cream that’sgot sun protection 30 in it for the day, which is great because Ithink people put SPF in their moisturiser but forget aboutprotecting themselves around the eye area, so I love that. And thendon’t forget it’s important to exfoliate your skinregularly. I’m all over Dr Sebagh’s Deep ExfoliatingMask once a week. It gives me a much more youthful glow. Would you ever have surgery? If I needed it yes, I’m not against it. But I think you haveto be careful about the choices you make and do it for the rightreasons. Have you ever done a makeover that’s gone wrong? No. I have never failed. All our makeovers on 10 Years Younger havealways succeeded. I think we are just so committed and sopassionate and so determined to succeed no matter what. So far sogood!
