two-twenty

practice makes purrrfect

Vanessa Grigoriadis reports in New York Magazine that socialite/"author" Plum Sykes takes digital photos of herself in different outfits before heading out in them. "You have to," she says, "otherwise how will you know how you'll appear in party photographs?".

Two-twenty can't help but recall how Cher, in Clueless, shot her outfits on polaroid because she "[doesn't] trust mirrors". A case of one-ups-manship? Like, whatever. One thing though: if Plum wants to project her animal magnetism, her fierceness, we humbly suggest she work a little harder on her growly come-hither look. Work the mouth a little, you know? And maybe her fierce claw motion should look more like an invitation to pleasure -- less like she's taking someone's, um, measure.

(P.S. to Plum: we're pretty sure that's a zebra stripe you're sporting, not a tiger. Zebras are quiet, pretty animals. Be like the Zebra.)
