Simon does seem a bit obsessed with her clothes doesn't he?
Maybe he has a particular look in mind for her from a producer's standpoint.
Or maybe he's just thinking like a man. :-)
I'm hoping it's just because he's trying to help her out by letting her know what will help her get to the top. With Simon one can never be sure. It's seems like every season he focuses on somebody's clothes. Why he hasn't told Lt. Dan to take a shower and comb his hair is beyond me though.
I love Carrie, but gotta be honest here. Last night was the second time she looked like a beauty pagent wannabe. Sort of like the way tragic little JonBenet Ramsey might have looked like if she had the chance to grow up. Simon is absolutely right. This IS 2005 and Carrie IS a very young woman, not the second coming of Tammy Wynette, for heaven's sake!
