Who are best dressed local celebs? The trend-setters. The fashion plates?
For the purposes of this discussion, I’d suggest we give “celeb” a rather loose definition along the lines of “often seen in the public eye.”
I’d suggest both Stephanie Morgan (from Stephanie’s Id) and Jane Kramer Edens (from the Barrel House Mamas).
And, while we’re at it, we should also talk about the least fashionable local celebs. Since I’ve currently got the highest number of posts on this forum, I nominate myself. I’m in shambles, honestly.
Maybe we should go about this the other way, and rate local celebs on a 1 to 10 point system, with 1 being “Theodore Kaczynski” and 10 being “Tim Gunn.” No, scratch that, I like the Unibomber’s look better. Let’s just go from 1 to 10.
Okay… 7 is good for Darcel ... best dressed WLOSer in recent times was Bob Caldwell. He always looked inpecably outdoorsy and ready to trapse a hidden mountain trail in great style… oh, wait he was!
Second best dresser on WLOS, Mr. Bill. Mr. Bill once landed his hot air balloon in my back yard. I got the pics to prove it.
Greatest dresser of ALL TIME on WLOS, Farmer Russ! Without a doubt. Too bad he got fired for drinking a bit but he had his revenge for many years on WSKY radio, featuring guests like I.W. Harper and Jim Beam.
(sigh) WLOS used to have REAL personalities on the air, not the same-as-every-other-station-in-America blands and blandettes they have now.

Mr. Hand and Sluggo were probably the culprits leading to said landing, eh?
OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!
Heh, heh… I know that Mr. Bill, too… but I am, of course, talking about the REAL Mr. Bill, Bill Norwood who was on WLOS for a very, very long time and a true entertainer.
I think Stephanie of Stephanie’s Id is adorable, but I’m not sure that short skirts over funky ripped tights count as fashionable.
I’m always impressed with how put together Susan Reinhardt is, despite what she says about herself. I once was at a nursery school park mixer with her and she had on this great yellow suit and high heels. I was wearing yoga pants and a T-shirt. Which reminds me, since I wrote my yoga pants column, everywhere I go, people want to check out my pants!

Yoga pants are like the refined big sisters of shapeless sweats. Tim Gunn, in his new book, says no one should ever wear yoga pants outside of a yoga class, but I think there’s a place for them (especially if one has the butt). Why not wear the yoga pants with heels? Then you get the comfort, the butt-maximizing, and the long-legged firm-calves look.

Well… if you really think it will help me… but I wanna see Steve and Jason Bugg try them first, high heels make me dizzy. ... Even when I’m the one wearing them.
