Nicole and Lindsey square off over a saucer of milk"I guess we could have predicted it," said Run Camp Fashionista Melinda Dobson, special consultant and guest judge for this year's SnowBuster Best-Dressed Competition. "You get 700 upwardly mobile people in a competitive setting and, well, LOOK OUT!!!"
Even with eight weeks to go, two Plaidiators -- runway names Nicole and Lindsey -- have emerged as the runaway favorites in the annual contest, each staying so far with dominant strains of pink. Lindsey is leaning toward the hotter fuchsias, magentas and persians, while Nicole has made more subtle selections in the coral, salmon and thulian families.
"Just looking at the history of how run camp fashions have blossomed in the spring the past few years, I think it's safe to say we 'won't be stuck in the neutrals' this year, and while you might see some beiges emerge," said Dobson, "splashes of bolder colors will be de rigueur." Dobson noted that plaid happened to be a hit both at the New York and Australian shows, "but my guess is that both lucked on to the Plaidators, and didn't engineer their way onto Harden's team. They're wiley and cunning competitors, no doubt, but I don't think either one of them is THAT good."
Dobson said the competition is so close, "it could come down to neckware, and that's a strong suit for both competitors. "Lindsey knows how to make a bold, contrasting statement with a scarf, but Nicole's choice of camp colors is not accidental, let me assure you."
