Bringing Sexy Back??

My Editors and I had quite a heated discussion recently over women's current attire in the workplace.  With the media frenzy over Michelle Obama's wardrobe and the introduction of "casual Fridays", what's a woman to do?

The image of a businesswoman is changing. Gone are the days when a woman needed to dress like a man to be confident and respected in the business world.

This topic has been hashed out in many forums. Both woman and men have strong opinions either for or against the Power Suit. My Chic Challenge question:

Women have made their statement that they can work like men in the business world, so why continue to dress like them?


Congratulations Theresa! You are the winner of the $50 Nordstrom gift card. We loved your answer!

Two years ago I started my first blog.  I had no idea what I was going to write about or why anyone would even be interested in reading it.  My mom was the first and only comment for quite some time until I started this little thing called the "Chic Challenge." 

My first question was... In 1981, this Chic Gal proudly sported the popular "Farrah Fawcett" hairstyle. What other famous icon's hairdo did I mimic in my teen years?  I got eleven answers to my question and gave away my first fabulous prize.

My second question was...In the late 1970's, my mom and I collected this stylish and popular brand of shoes. Mom wore the flats, while I wore the platforms. I even had them in a pair of boots! Can you name this brand of shoe and the color of my favorite pair?  OK, that one stumped people. 

So I was off to question #3...In the late 1980's, I worked on Greenwich Avenue in a well known designer's store. My closet was filled with floral dresses, short corduroy skirts, sailor dresses, tights, petticoats and high-necked blouses. When I quit, I couldn't wait to throw it all away! Who was the designer? In addition to women's clothing, what other 2 lines was this designer famous for?  Seriously, is it really that hard?

Apparently yes because my best friend actually emailed me to complain.  What? No one is up for a challenge anymore?  I threw in the proverbial towel and decided that I wouldn't torture people with my crazy questions ever again...until now.  Knowing how incredibly intelligent Chic Galleria readers are, I decided that it was time to pull out the completely useless trivia that seems to rattle in my brain from time to time.

Think it's time for the "Chic Challenge" to be dusted off and revisited.  Think we'll open it up to reader submissions too.  Yes...I've got prizes...tons of them...and lots of stuff tossed in the virtual junk drawer. 

We'll start with something easy...

In your opinion, who is the greatest band of all time?

To get this ball rolling, Chic Galleria is giving a $15 Starbucks giftcard to 1 lucky Weekly Newsletter subscriber or someone who leaves an answer here.  Ends April 9 midnight EST. Winner chosen at random.

Here are your random numbers:
