Call it a romper, call it a jumpsuit, but no matter what you call it, one thing is certain: not everyone is ready for one. They started popping up a ton last summer, but this year, if more of us can all get past our fears of the one-piece, might be the year they really catch on.

Personally, I haven’t worn a romper since I was about 10–it was a red and white seersucker number that zipped up the front. My memories of it being super-comfy and easy are definitely helping me warm up to the idea as LA begins its early descent into a long, hot summer. Could be cute with some sandals and a giant hat.

Maybe I’ll throw one in my wardrobe this year. Maybe.

Want this romper? Go to Oak.

Ay, Crocs! The “shoes” that secure my suspicions that America is doomed. But wait! The Street reports that the plastic nightmare may be showing signs of a slow death–the company just lowered its earnings estimate for the first quarter, citing the sluggish economy and lowered consumer spending as the culprit.

Well, at least this recession is good for something.

But don’t get too happy or hopeful about this news, Crocs still expects to take in an astounding $195million. And there is more bad news, too: Crocs expects their European sales to go up 90% and 75% in Asia.

Why must we filthy up the world with our filthy trends?

Remember this “prize” photoshoot? If not, let me jog your memory. Anya, from this season’s ANTM, won some pose-off contest and ,as a reward (for Nigel mostly), got to take it all off for the saucy photographer.

Well, the Parents Television Council (whose tagline is “Because Your Children are Watching”) has filed a complaint with the FCC against that very episode. Apparently, Anya’s pubis on display at 8pm was just too much for the group to handle, and in the words of their President Tim Winter:

“It is irresponsible for the CW Network to air full frontal nudity on the public airwaves at 8:00 pm, and based upon our analysis of the broadcast in question we believe this has crossed the legal threshold for broadcast indecency. This episode portrays a photo-shoot where the model is entirely naked; and the nudity includes the model’s pubic region in full view, albeit slightly blurred.”

Wow! I don’t remember it like that, but maybe I’m just jaded by my super-liberal notions. I wouldn’t put it past me. You know, nude women don’t offend me. But Tyra Banks? She offends me! I’d like to file a complaint against her very existence.
