The Hot New Tango Fashion Accessory. Get one of these before the Memorial Day Festival

Nora Ephron feels bad about her neck.

I feel bad about my collarbones.

They stick out.

Way out.

My little brother used to reach in and close his fingers around them. Ow!

Ugly bones. Or so I thought until yesterday…

…when The New York Times style section pronounced “this season’s hot accessory: a prominent clavicle.”

Ha!

The well-chiseled clavicle is in,” NYT says.

“Toned shoppers who want to show off their self-discipline in the face of dessert are choosing dresses with a low but not plunging neckline, a look that is transforming the area above the breasts, into an unlikely new subject for women to obsess over….



“Why the new emphasis on a body part most women—and more men—have paid little attention to in the past?" NYT asked.



“Showing off your clavicle is the opposite of showing your thong,” said Valerie Steele, director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan.

Yikes!
