You’ve heard of edible underwear (unfortunately), but what about the dissolving bikini? Get it wet and it melts away. Note to self: Do NOT wear to the rec center for water aerobics.

Curves is holding a BeadforLife party Sept. 1. Buy cute recycled jewelry made in Uganda.
I visited the actual BeadforLife headquarters in Uganda. It’s legit. African women roll the jewelry from recycled paper. Profits help fight extreme poverty. And the jewelry is cheap: Just $5 to $30.

NO COMMENT, says the newspaper journalist in all caps.
Insert your snide comment here about “so there IS a use for newspapers after all…”
Haters.

Fashion photo of the week: Little black dress goes big
Little (yawn) black (yawn) dress — hold off on that last yawn. This particular little black dress symbolizes a big challenge.
Dallas Stylist Valerie Elizabeth vows to wear this same dress every day for an entire month, using different accessories — belts, shoes, scarves, jeans, jackets, handbags — to create a different look every day.
We love this inspiration for versatility, especially in this economy. Elizabeth is documenting the “Little Black Dress Experiment” at www.societystylist.com. Click on “dress diaries” on the left links bar. Each day, she posts a picture of her outfit, what she’s wearing, how much it costs, where to get it and some useful style tips. Creating something new out of the same ol’? Now that’s talent.
Just one question: Will she go 31 days without doing the laundry? At least she didn’t choose a little white dress.

Fashion photo of the week: Practical beachwear
This week, we present to you the most practical beachwear ever to hit the waves.
Make sure to notice the details on the left breast and swim bottoms: multiple little clocks. This is the perfect solution to the sunbather who does not want a stupid watch line, but still wants to make sure she’s home in time to catch her fellow clock-loving Flava Flav on “Flavor of Love” reruns. Once again, avoid getting this swimming suit wet to avoid electrocution, injury or death.
Finally, a full face paint (here, in red, white, red and yellow) is a great way to keep your face from burning; just make sure your costume paint has a high enough SPF. Throw chopsticks in your hair and you are ready for anything the sand may blow your way (such as delicious snails or fish in the raw).

Local Etsy store of the month: Miss Magoo
Our August Etsy weakness is Boulder’s “Miss Magoo,” aka Megan Friday, an avid sewer, crafter and stay-at-home mom. After years of people asking her where she bought her kids’ clothes, she decided in April to turn her hobbies into an online business. She says she has been pleasantly surprised by the response.
We love her unique fabrics, playful styles and crazy color combos. Everything is handmade, perfect for a sunny summer day and can be customized.
“The most rewarding aspect of what I do is when folks come to my sewing space in southeast Boulder, get measured and pick their own fabrics for a custom item,” Friday says.
Her items include unique children’s clothing, such as a cotton baby Kimono outfit for $46. She also makes aprons, sundresses, top-selling “skirted capris” and “twirly skirts” for girls — a $28, three-tier skirt made especially for its great twirling capacity.
For the bigger girls, Friday sells brightly colored skirts, halter dresses and tunics for $38. It’s hard to pick, but our favorite skirt pattern is the Diane Skirt, which reminds us of something you might find at Anthropologie.

Are you saying all college girls are…
I am repulsed by A&F’s new “funny” college tee line.
Hand full.
I can drive a stick.
Tie me down, don’t tie me up.
All bed, no breakfast.
I always end up on top.
Anyone you can do, I can do better.
Say what?
This might be a sign that I am getting old, but I think these shirts are embarrassing and trashy. Sure, I would expect skanky tees at the cheap mall stores with names that substitute “z’s” for “s’s.”
But Abercrombie? Aren’t you supposed to be stuck up?
Have some pride, gals. And if you’re going to wear a T-shirt that advertises your loose legs, be front about it. Just get a shirt that simply states: “WHORE.” And good God, don’t spend more than $7.50 on it. Save your money for some condoms.
