kasalanan maging pangit

i guess she noticed it too -- some of the 25 best-dressed women featured in preview were more rich than fashionable. and they should be. as i've always said, kung mayaman ka, kasalanan maging pangit.

case in point: ever notice how people notice you (and how lovely your haircut/color is) after you've stepped out of the salon? or when you've finally bought those lovely but very expensive pair of shoes you've always wanted to buy? these things take money, which if you're rich, i believe you have in abundance.

on the other hand, the person who has to make do with sm clothes and marikina shoe expo shoes would have a bigger challenge that the woman who steps out in jimmy choos.

so maybe they should feature real women, women you see in the streets, women not armed with stylists and a deep friendship with rajo laurel or rhett eala. women who went to their proms and grad balls with clothes they themselves designed and not conceptualized and executed by joe salazar. they should feature women who, with a one thousand peso budget, can come up with an outfit worthy of a second look. women who may not be carrying monogrammed bags but still command our attention. those are the women i want to see.

and when they finally feature these women, then maybe they would be able to really say that they have found the 25 best dressed women..
