Fauxty vs. Fo'ty: Battle to the Death!

Let us a play a game. Title: Fauxty vs. Fo'ty...

In keeping with faux fur/leather/jewelzZ
as perfectly acceptable and chic garb for the current season, we will determine tasteful, youthful yet mature style and appearance as "fauxty." Think: elegant, yet age-defying. We should all aspire to this as the years pass.
On the flip side we have "fo'ty." This is characterized by an overly exaggerated appearance that is decidedly distasteful. Decisions of the fo'ty nature are often centered around excessive plastic surgery, overly young clothing, or simply trying far too hard to deny one's true age. The results of such choices usually result in a more aged appearance, rather than a younger one. Alas...


Linda Evangelista in the new Fall Talbots ads: (Fauxty.)




The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, wearing stretch shine satin: (Oh so fo'ty...)





Airbrushing Mishap on W Magazine: (FO'TY) vs Real Life Casual (Fauxty)



Victoria Beckham's Chest: (Blatantly fo'ty. Sorry...)
