      Women pick Nicole's nose
 SHE might not have the perfect hubby any longer but Nicole Kidman can console herself with the thought she has the world's most sought after nose.
According to a survey of the cosmetic-surgery wishlists compiled by two Hollywood nip and tuckers, the perfect composite woman would have Kidman's nose, Winona Ryder's eyes, Kim Basinger's lips, Sandra Bullock's chin, Jennifer Lopez's cheeks (the ones on her face) and Salma Hayek's body.
At least that's what women seeking to surgically enhance their looks most want to see in the mirror.

Torrid: After years ... no, make that a lifetime, languishing in boring shapeless garments with nowhere to shop, plus-size Gen X and Gen Y women can now match the style, excitement and selection long lavished on smaller-sized women with the launch of the mall-based retail chain, Torrid.

          Bal has designs on 'Pam'! 
NEW DELHI: Rohit Bal to dress Pamela Anderson? Hollywood sex symbol and TV star Pamela Anderson has cleared the leather from her wardrobe and has sought the expertise of Indian designer to create the perfect outfit in faux leather, or pleather as it is called (made with plastic and rayon with cotton backing, and which is maintenance free), to highlight her attributes. 
 In a letter addressed to Bal, Pamela Anderson said, ``My friends at PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) turned me on to your fashions and I am very impressed. As you may know, I wear a lot of pleather (fake leather) and fabric outfits. I will not touch leather since finding out all the gory details about animals of many kinds - in the US, India, China and all over the world - are so sorely abused for their skins. I wonder if you would be interested in creating a faux leather outfit
for me. I am sure it would be a smash hit in the US.''

So much for the Hemline Theory, which speculates that when hemlines rise, stock prices rise.
Because despite the slowing economy, spring runways were filled with miles of legs in miniskirts and hotpants (looking a bit naked after seasons of knee-length primness and bootcut pants).
We have the "youthquake" of the early '60s (and the resurgence in the '80s) to thank for giving birth to the short styles that leggy women love.
Valerie Steele, in Fifty Years of Fashion says there is still some controversy about who "invented" the miniskirt:
"Courrèges insists 'I was the man who invented the mini. Mary Quant only commercialized the idea.' But Quant dismisses his claim: 'That's how the French are...I don't mind, but it's just not as I remembered it...It wasn't me or Courrèges who invented the miniskirt anyway -- it was the girls in the street who did it."
