"See All the Looks From the 2012 Met Gala Red Carpet." Okay!

Advanced Style's Ari Cohen chats with Debra Rapoport about how she's made friends by dressing like an… interesting person? Who wouldn't ask about that earring? Speaking of, what the hell is that earring, Debra?

"As the NCAA tournament begins, the trend that's sweeping the nation is stylish, outlandish socks."

Like that, but with less flipping of pages. Here’s the one caveat: everything you do will be done from the perspective of a fat person. (Not from the perspective of all fat people!
