If only I'd heard about this site yesterday...
...it totally would've been Website of the Week. For those of you who are Fantasy Football widows this fall (which, as I recently learned, also includes my sister, LW), it's payback time. The best idea I've seen in awhile is Fantasy Fashion League, a woman-friendly version of the super-dorky male pastime...except instead of football, it's all about designers and awards shows (the Oscars, of course, being the equivalent of the Super Bowl). You form leagues of six women and conduct a "draft" to choose what designers, jewelers, shoe makers and such you each want on your "teams," and then you get points based on mentions in the media (as in, "Kirsten Dunst wore a Chanel dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Harry Winston jewelry"). It costs a mere $18 each to join, and each league's winner is entered to win a $1,000 shopping spree at Zappos.com. Um, and checking out what Catherine Zeta-Jones wore to the Golden Globes is way more fun than counting how many receiving yards Randy Moss scored in last week's game. (MW would like everyone know that he's proud to have Randy Moss on his Fantasy Football team, and also that he told me about Fantasy Fashion League in the first place.) Anyway, the fashion season's first big "game" is the Emmys on Sunday, so if you're going to join the league, you've got to have your draft party before then. (Yeah, ladies, there's a party involved in it too!) So read the women's sports pages (i.e. the Sunday Styles section), browse the September Vogue (I haven't even cracked mine open yet!), and get in the game!
