who wore it better

So we all know I'm kind of a chick and sadly not a very attractive one.

Between the training bra I wear when going running, the fat chafing thighs, the emotional outbursts,obsession about weight, the love of Brad Pitt movies and my affinity for gossip I'm probably more woman than most of you chicks..   But NOTHING says it better than the fact that I love US Weekly.   Now in my defense, it's not as if i'm reading it for the articles of how Heidi Montag was able to lose 15 pounds using a low-carb diet or how Kate Gosslin was able to navigate a minefield of reporters as she shopped for ice-cream with one of her daughters.

What I do love is seeing chicks in hot-dresses and I love conflict so there is no better section in any magazine than the Who Wore it Better which you can find in any decent celebrity rag, be it US Weekly, OK!, People etc.  What obviously the concept is to find two pictures in a vast library of red-carpet events of two different celebrities wearing the same dress and pin them against each other to see who pulled it of best.

I have two observations
-  who is in charge of locating an old picture of say Carmen Electra wearing a Gucci tube-top dress, or more importantly who the hell even remembers that she wore it 3 years ago at the screening of Just Friends?  What kind of library do they have of pictures and more importantly how is the card-catalog arranged?    I mean there are thousands of pictures taken daily of thousands of chicks.   How the hell do they store all this information?  is it stored by dress type? celebrity? designer or what/    
I kind of envision some guy playing a huge game of memory.

- it's really almost cruel to see how hot one chick looks while her competition always looks dumpy.    It does seem like there is an unfair advantage to the taller girl in this competition where they are almost always the hotter chick (unless they are stick-figures).   But even when they get two chicks who are roughly the same height there is an obvious bias with the angle of the picture because get Kim Kardashian with curves banging wearing a skin tight dress next to some fuggly chick picture of Sarah Jessica Parker from an above shot looking like a wet dog in a poncho.
