While fashion is not something that graces these fair pages everyday, every once and a while the odd snippet of news of a sartorial nature finds it’s way to the beauty desk and this ones too good to pass up.

Regular readers may remember that some time ago L’Onglex was quite taken with a particularly unusual light up dress that Katy Perry was seen sporting at New Yorks Metropolitan Ball in May.

In case you don’t remember the basic premise is that you put the dress on, keep the battery in your bra and when you reach the venue of your choosing you simply flick the switch and light up the room.

Thinking that this was a one off L’Onglex thought no more about the subject until low and behold we came across a shorter version of the frock which is now available at an eyewatering €1500 from Selfridges in London.

Naturally with summer nearly gone and the long days of winter ahead we will soon be daydreaming about what to wear for Christmas and we think this might just fit the bill …. except for the price.

On a mostly unrelated matter can anyone tell us how Katy Perry manages to  dress a bit like Katy Price and look great, and Katy Price dresses a bit like Katy Perry and ………  anyway …. we’ll be back to the beauty ASAP.
