I am so tired of the 'american apparel' look (Gwen). I don't find it playful at all, to me it looks more like unimaginative and dull. It bring bad memories from the eighties...

Um,Matt?...lame-ass bicep tattoos and fedoras from Big It Up are for chumps..so are goatees, bogus Ray Bans, and snot rags hanging from the back pocket of your jeans that you cut the legs off of yesterday. Just so you know for next time, k pal?

I'd hit Barb in a heartbeat.

I'd want her to keep the shoes on though.

How funny, I was walking past the other day and saw Gwen being photographed. I knew it was for this, and I kept thinking my outfit trumped hers 10 times over.

easy son, it isn't like I chose your outfit. Take that anger and channel it into not looking like a "bartender" or "guitarist"...oh, wait..

Reading these comments, I feel like this has become a people-bashing page! Fashion is a personal expression, and just like music and art and food, not everyone is going to be into the same thing. A little friendly criticism is ok, that's part of the fun of "Street Style", but lets be nice, people! Would you be able to say these comments to these people's faces?

To all of you who did say nice things, keep spreading the love.

Ps. Maybe bring a bit more racial diversity into the mix next time? :)

GWEN! I LOVE GWEN! She is one of my BFFLsies. She is a model and is currently on the cover of the new GLBT magazine IN Toronto.

AND. She is dressed in AA head to toe probably because she was on her way to work, she works at AA and she is required to dress in their clothes.

SORRY, I meant the one on the top RIGHT is NOT FASHION or taste at all. Horrible.

Go to "Toronto" -> "New Faces" -> Women
"Find Model" -> "Gwen M"

She's pretty fucking rad.
