Coco Chanel was far ahead of her time, but not Space Odyssey far. If only Coco could see her Little Black Dress (LBD) now, I think she would approve. Our badge of femininity, a loyal wardrobe staple has gone futuristic, or should I say ... techno. Yes, my fellow Average Joan ... the Best Little Black Dress has arrived to the New Millennium party.
Okay, you skeptical Joanies, I know what you're thinking. A Little Black Dress doubling as a cell phone, how? And what do you do in the middle of an itch?
Hold off selling your bridges, this hip-hugging soft circuitry cell phone dress has a built-in antennae concealed in the hem. You simply insert a SIM card in a slim slot underneath the label and you're ready to accept calls from your regular cell phone number. I wonder if this classic little black dress will eventually come in a number of styles. We'll just have to wait and see.
OUR WORLD INSPIRED BY
THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS
The Little Black Dress also makes itself known in other areas of our lives, and even satisfies our sweet tooth.
2. LBD Cookie Cutter
3. Voila! The LBD Cookie
This LBD cookie would make a nice favor for the Little Black Dress/Little Pink Dress Sisters Tea for Breast Cancer Survival you can host in the Spring.
First time hearing about it? Here's a brief rundown. The purpose of hosting a Little Black Dress/Little Pink Dress Sisters Tea is to raise funds so friends, sisters, mothers, daughters, congregants, the neighbor down the street ... can help women undergoing or just completed Breast Cancer treatments ... feel good about themselves.
Each Tea guest pays a fee determined by the host. Money raised for the Tea provides a massage, a little black dress, a beauty gift basket, gift certificate, or stylish wig ... (whatever the need or desire) anything that helps her feel beautiful and calm during the toughest fight of her life. It's been documented, feeling good helps the healing process. You can also offer beauty services like a manicure or chair massage during the tea for the guest of honor.
Since your guests are already styling in their LBD and LPD best ... why not add a fashion show using a few as models? For more info. and ideas on hosting a Little Black Dress/Little Pink Dress Sisters Tea & Fashion Show stop by iCafe Woman Moderne, a virtual cafe for inter-generational women. I'll provide more info. in the weeks to come.
4. LBD Barbie
Are you surprised? After all, she goes by the name of Fashion Barbie. She wants to look classic and elegant too, and now has her own LBD Collection: Barbie Basics.
5. Ladies Tea Hats to Wear with Your LBD.
You can find a plethora of beautiful hats to wear with your LBD. This white straw head-turner from the Shenor Spring Collection shows off white satin flowers and white uniquely draped satin trim. I can see myself wearing this to the Little Black Dress/Little Pink Dress Tea with white gloves, of course.
6. Little Black Dress Fiction
Lttle Black Dress Books is a sassy imprint of Headline Publishing Company, UK marketing to women 25 to 35.
Ask your girlfriends to be bridesmaids with this fashion statement stationery. How could they refuse?

9. LBD Jewelry
10k White Gold Black and White Diamond "Little Black Dress" Pendant (1/4 cttw, H-I Color, I2-I3 Clarity), 18"
Diane Von Furstenbenberg Black One Shoulder Silk Dress
Diamonds and pearls are still a fashionista's best friend. Sure, the jewelry standard for the LBD dates back to when Coco Chanel first introduced the dress to the world and will always be a nice strand of pearls. But tell me, would you turn away this beautiful LBD pendant? I didn't think so. It looks like a piece of art.
And finally, we Average Joans and fashionistas alike love our chocolates, especially the gourmet, fair trade, artistic kind. Enough said.
