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!
