Instead of writing a lengthy paragraph no one will read about what this community is (besides another fashion community) I figured I'd just post two lists, one of things we like, and one of things we don't like. If you agree with the like list, come on in. If you agree with the dislike list, then you wouldn't have fun here, so why bother?
What We Like:

What We Don't Like:
