I wasn’t going to have a Gender Fuck Thursday this week. But then Padma showed up in a suit and tie on “Top Chef” and I had no choice. I am powerless against such hotness. Crippled, even. But Padma’s suiting up also presents an excellent opportunity to talk about fit. In particular, I want to talk about how suits fit if you are, say, a tad busty. Now the thing about suits and menswear in general is, well, they were made originally for men. And men, by and large, don’t have great racks. So when a woman with the aforementioned fantastic phenomena puts on a suit, something happens. Tailoring, therefore, is key. One doesn’t want it to be too loose or too tight. Improperly tailored menswear creates too much unfortunate gapping. Though, admittedly, sometimes gapping is a good thing – a very, very good thing.
Padma Lakshmi
She looked like a fancy maître d’. A hot, fancy fancy maître d’.

SPOILER: Total bullshit about [PKYAGed person] going home, total.]
p.s. In all fairness, I did use SPOILER in the post, people. And I do not have "cuts" on this blog.
Angelina Jolie
Remember when I said gapping was good? I was not wrong.
Scarlett Johansson
Choice of proper under suit shirt is essential. Well done, Scarlett.
Dita Von Teese
Her tailor deserves a raise, possibly a medal.
Janet Jackson
The double-breasted suit takes on a whole new meaning on ladies.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Sometimes perfectly avoidable gapping should not be avoided. This is one of those times.
Salma Hayek
Buttoning all the buttons is, admittedly, tricky.
Christina Hendricks
Speaking of buttons, I fear for this one’s life. And ours, if we’re standing directly in front of Christina. But, oh, what sweet death.
