Costumes from the set of Burlesque

So this is interesting.  Right now, on SeenOn.com (you can log on to SeenOn using your Billion Dollar Babes login) you can buy actual costumes from the set of Burlesque. 

This is especially interesting considering a lot of the costumes for sale consist mostly of undergarments.  For example, you can buy this little number, worn by Kristen Bell, for $499.  This is great news for film buffs and pervos alike. 

In theory, I think its a cool idea to instantly sell movie memorabilia like this, really strike when the iron is hot.  But for some reason, it skeeves me out a little too.

Only three days til Burlesque opens in theaters!

Sissy Loves Sequins

According to Wikipedia, sequins have been around since as early as 2500 years before Christ.  Such longevity is clear evidence of the genius of sequins.  Sequins are extremely useful, whether they are jazzing up a 7 year old's tap costume or helping a 20-something gal in NYC (or a showgirl!) call extra attention to herself at a bar or club.  The problem is that you have to exercise caution with where on your body you display sequins so you don't accidentally look like the gussied up elephant at the circus. 

Now, at first I was kinda skeptical when I started seeing sequined shorts around stores lately.  There are so many ways this can go wrong. The chaffing!  But the more I see them the more I kinda love them.  I do wish this trend would have come around a little closer to my early twenties, because I don't think that they are appropriate on anyone over the age of 26 (well, they are probably acceptable for celebrities and cast members from the movie Burlesque).

Thoughts?

Peachy Keen

The fact that Topshop catergorizes this as a "Playsuit" is almost cute enough in and of itself to make me want it.

I think the color is really cool and could be flattering on a lot of different skin tones.  But then I remember that I swore off jumpsuits after that time in 8th grade during my palazzo pants jumpsuit phase where I came thiiiiiiiis close to peeing my pants at school because it took so long to get fully undressed in order to go to the bathroom.  Also I have a super long torso, so I am pretty sure that if I tried to pull off this little number, I would be tugging it out of my nether regions all day long.

Why, oh why, can't this just be a cute wrap dress?
