WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

Worst faux pas- trying too hard. AFs that can't wear anything that doesn't have a logo or didnt cost at least a month's rent. Conformity- here in Boston EVERY AF looks exactly the same- skinny, brown hair with highlights, black prada bag or LV logo bag, black clothes, epi LV wallet, same everything. They look like clones. have some individuality.

I think the opposite cosmetic colours look good on Asians: red lipstick on darker asians and a more neutral on the really light skinned asians. I think a really bright red looks very gaudy on someone with very pale skin (and especially with the really dark hair --it's asian morticia adams!)

i think white looks good on the asians that have naturally darker skin tones. red and black look good on asians with lighter skin tones. also red lipstick looks good on asians with dark hair and light skin. i think more neutral color lipsticks look best on darker asians.

I love wearing white, but the only problem (as with the rest of life) is OTHER people. I have to travel on the subway, and today I was wearing a black wool coat, and some idiot spilled a coke on me. (this was her breakfast too-ugh!)

so I won't be stepping out in my best white outfits anytime soon this summer unless I am travelling in a car, and not sitting next to any losers.

I think white is such a good color of clothing for Asian Girls...

It looks really elegent and classy.

Dresses in particular.

Asian Dom,

I bought some Vogue retro patterns. I don't know if I'll ever sew anything, but I'm ready to, when I find the right material. Thanks for the tip!

Black is always in -- no matter in which country. I agree with Tasty over there. Dark navy/indigo blue is good, too. Appropriate for all occasions, is classy, elegant and sophisticated.

euasian gir -thanks

my hair is too coarse and heavy to do those tips, but at least I tried. I guess I'll have to get a few inches trimmed off if i really want to try this right.
