I’ll back you up on banning that for sure.

Also “aging gracefully” which is usually applied to people who’ve had excellent plastic surgery.

Oh let’s toss in “the natural look” or “effortless beauty” – as in she only wore foundation, coverup, mascara, blush, lipstick, and a soupcon of shadow … just a touch of translucent powder.

(This was very funny, thank you.)

Those are the two worst words on the planet. Who decided that looking like you don’t give a crap is now cool?

(Probably teenagers, now that I think about it. Dammit.)

how about “fashion emergency?” i’m sure i’ve used it, but shouldn’t words like “emergency” be used for real emergencies only? otherwise it may confuse our civil servants and waste taxpayer monies.

Hehe I have “casual cool” in an upcoming blog post that’s sitting in Blogger right now. I’ll save “sophisticated insouciance” for another day.

I have never (to my knowledge) used the “EC” term. However, in my neck of the woods I have been known to refer to some women as “Effortlessly Soccer Mom”.
