Damm her lack of opposable thumbs and damm Barbie. They had been vying for sexiest toy title for years. Kitty thought she had Barbie beat when she went for the big time bling. But now the diva was topping her with a runway show on Feb. 14 in Bryant Park, complete with designer inspired Barbie clothes. What was the world coming to? Then Kitty sat back and purred – she still had her line at Neiman Marcus and a higher net worth (see November 17, 2008 post for more on net worth). And, wasn’t Barbie turning 50?

Here are some additonal choices:

Neimanista – one who frequents Neiman Marcus

Jeanista – owner of too many jeans

Jewelista – after all, diamonds are a girls best friend

Shoeista – “She who dies with the most stilletos wins,” Nina Garcia, The One Hundred

Fashionista’s know you can be super stylish even in trying times by mixing expensive and cheaper pieces, checking out designers second lines, remembering that debt is never stylish, and you will live without “fill in the blank.”
