Next polymath in the hot seat…Nicole McClain.

We think we juggle a lot around here…(if you don’t think so…keep it to yourself please)…we’re always inspired by people that seem to do it all..Nicole is one of them.  Not only is she the editor and sole author of Notable Styles & More (be sure to check it for everything Notable in fashion & culture)…add writer, publicist, personal shopper, stylist & problem solver to her long list and you’ve got…our next polymath. 

You can follow her on Twitter, creep her on Facebook or Myspace and (as we love to do) read all she has to say about everything you should know at Notable Styles & More…read on for just a little taste

Nicole McClain

We all for some reason, want to obtain our ideal level of perfection , right? The right physical, mental and spiritual balance. The right color nail polish and the perfect shoe. The perfect gift for your loved one and the right package to present it in. The perfect significant other, who comes along with the perfect background. But, if everyone’s idea of perfection is different, is there such a thing as perfection? If I think perfect is size 6 and someone else thinks the perfect size is a 9, my perfect does not equal their perfect and that equals, differences. Therefore, differences equal imperfections and imperfections must be the “new” perfect. Aiming for perfection that  is individually defined is called walking on dead mans cliff (in my opinion), but trying to be respectful and presentable, I think is a concept more people could agree on. Is showing your underwear in public, respectful?                                   

I have the pleasure of knowing Jaimie Rae, one of the co-owners of this site and I think she is just a doll. She has an extreme sense of fashion and a business savvy that some people would pay to acquire. Now, as I often read the thoughts of randomness that she spews, via facebook or twitter, she made one comment recently that struck home with me. I believe it went something like this, “please, please, please, no displaying of the panty lines ladies…” (don’t quote me on the particulars) but hopefully you get the point. And I thought to myself, wow! I need to make that commitment a New Year’s Resolution. Is Jaimie Rae, asking for too much? I doubt it. I mean clearly, you don’t want passer bys to know where your “unmentionables” start and stop. They are called “unmentionables” for a reason. And hey, I’ll expand the topic to address guys and gals and brazier straps. No Fruit of the Looms or Vicky Secrets in public people and no it doesn’t matter if your undies are Clavin Klein, Prada, LaPerla, Agent Provacateur, or any other brand, just don’t show them!

Showing your undergarments is a touchy subject for some as you can see, the public is in OUTRAGE about it, (laugh out loud) But hey, readers, seriously, I went to a Nordstrom interview in 2007. And I swear, that I aced it. I knew my fashion jargon, expressed drive and have experience, and you know what else…..I also had a panty line showing when I walked out (BOOOOOO) and in my mind, that did it, the reason why I did not get the job! WOW! I know, is it that deep? Yes, it is. So from here on out, let’s stand together in an Alliance Against Public Displays of Underwear A.A.P.D.U, Let’s GO!!
