You go, girdle!

I've all but worn a girdle to look thinner.

Compression tank tops? Yeah, done that -- did it Friday, actually. But Roberto Cavalli commands it, unless you're packing washboard abs.

So, per my Tuesday column's request, I'd love to hear some of the things you've done to look svelter (I know it's not a word, whatever). Is it a serious tip? Awesome. Is it embarrassing and funny? Even better!

Look forward to hearing what you have to say. Don't disappoint, I'm fragile.

Peace, love and compression ... xoxo

Well, my fragile friend... I, like you, am a habitual gut-sucker. I have tried Spanx and failed miserably. You know it's bad when your muffin-top-controller, makes for MORE muffins! I just realized that good posture, and a heckuva tummy suckin' makes me look thinner anyway (plus my face isn't red from holding my breath all day!) xoxo

Quite possibly the worst set of words in the English language: control top pantyhose. Ahhhhhhhhh!

This one's not on me....I've given up, but my 5'10" grandmother, who thought she had to look svelte at all times. My grandma, (she should rest in peace) when she wore slacks, always wore a girdle that went to her ankles and for every occasion, wore a long-line bra, which when worn all together, my aunt, who was blessed with model genes, called this ensemble my g'ma's "turtleneck girdle".

I was wondering.....do men wear girdles? I would bet there would be the muffin top thang goin' on as well if they do. This is an odd blog for a guy to bring up. Hmmmm.....

I have found that foundations have a way of just displacing the 'Muffin'
All that has to go somewhere.........

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
