Here at Fashionista, we’re obsessed with everything Clueless. From “rollin’ with the homies”, to Pismo Beach disaster relief and Travis Birkenstock to Amber avoiding activities where balls fly at her face.

But of course, at the core, there is the clothing. The checks, the knee socks, Tai’s makeover.

And, without fail, every time we catch this classic on USA or TBS, the scene with Cher planning and matching her outfit on her computer makes us painfully envious.

So when we read about an interactive closet, a la Cher’s, in the NY Post, we were clearly excited.

On Monday, XBox 360 unveiled their new technology called Project Natal—a controller-free gaming system. We know, we know, this doesn’t sound particularly interesting. Until you watch this video. At around the 2:20 mark, you’ll understand.

Now, if we could do away with mirrors and rely solely on Polaroids, like our cinematic alter ego, getting dressed would be perfected.

Remember in Clueless when the crew makes a “cameo at the val party”? I always thought it was great how everyone wears red and green, and Summer even wears a legit Christmas sweater while stealing the snowman from the lawn. But you also have Cher in the infamous Alaia, Tai in that plaid jacket, and Dionne wearing that pouf skirt and crop top combo complete with Santa hat.

They’re obviously dressed for the season, but no one acknowledges the fact - it just seems to be. We know it’s technically just a movie, but is Christmas dressing a product of constant exposure to Santa and his elves, or something more deliberate? Natalie says the idea of dressing “Christmasy” never occurs to her (but it does to her boyfriend), and Britt doesn’t own anything red or green, so there’s no chance of her matching the wrapping paper.

But I’m a huge fan of red and green together, and use the season as license to indulge. Maybe it’s because I lived in Florida for so long, where Christmas must be a state of mind since it looks nothing like in the movies, but I definitely think looking festive (I even approve of jingle bell jewelry) is half the battle of feeling festive.

But then, I remember overbearing Jo-Ann Fabric shoppers pairing matronly snowman sweaters with reindeer earrings and I lose my nerve again.

Thoughts?

Fashionista Debate # 749

Once again, the office was in heated debate over a super important issue: Do you have a fashion icon?

As usual, Natalie’s adamant: no, decidedly not. But I wonder, how can this be possible?

Everyone should have an icon, someone to look to when you can’t figure out which socks to wear, someone to grab ideas from, someone that just makes you smile.

When the topic came up, I stared at Britt expecting an immediate, “Gwyneth Paltrow.” But she didn’t say it, so I did. To my surprise, she didn’t say “Duh” in that funny Cher Horowitz way she has. She was on the fence about the whole icon status. Sure, she writes love letters to Gwyn, but never thought about how she loves Stella and McQueen and structured blazers and white t shirts and major shoes the same way the super mom does.

And okay, so Hayley has a Holy Trinity (Kate, Jane, Brigitte) that she loves to look at and I can’t stop staring at Ezra Koenig every chance I get, but who’s in the majority?

Do you have an icon, a couple of icons, do you even know that you have an icon, or do you march to the beat of your own stylist?

Fact: Bloggers have been endorsing Polyvore like celebs endorse presidential candidates. But it took us a little while to jump on the bandwagon (blogwagon?) with this one. But thanks to Polyvore, now you, too, can play Rachel Zoe from the comfort of your own laptop.

If you’re new to the game/just bored like us, you should give it a try. Then spend all day not working, and instead mixing and matching your Net-a-Porter pipe dreams or taking your own wardrobe and pretending you have Cher Horowitz’s closet (so ahead of its time). Even the offical Polyvore Blog is addictive.

And retailers, take note: Polyvore is also a pretty genius marketing tool. Hot stops like Nine West have been holding contests and giving away merch to the users who create the best looks using their products.

Now let’s commence plotting on how to get Net-a-Porter to jump on board and give us free stuff…
