zwINK: The Latest Buzz from Zwinktopia and Beyond!

Mr. Foxtrot's Favorite Prom Looks for Boys!

Hello Zwinktopia!

You've thought about it, shopped for it, saved outfits for it, and now it's finally here! Get ready for Zwinky Prom 2009, Around the World!

This year's prom is guaranteed to be the biggest and best prom yet, with more outfits, accessories and all-around goodness for you to enjoy.

So with all these clothes to choose from, how are you going to design your look? Well here's five styles that you could go with for you male hotties out there:

This scraggly young fella let his hair go wild, but offsets the look with a classic tuxedo and bow tie look. The top hat lends an air of sophistication to the ensemble and brings its together nicely.

Pairing the Studio Tuxedo with boat shoes lends an open and airy feel to this outfit. The stylish sunglasses complete the look for a fun outdoor Summer event.

This mover-and-shaker paired a traditional Banker's Vest with a stylish fedora reminiscent of our last recession. Although he doesn't look that happy, and appears to be looking for work at the beach...

And here's a guy who keeps it old school, with a tux and tie topped with a "Twilight" do. As always, the corsage completes the look.

And last but not least, here is yours truly wearing the modern tux! I like the relaxed feel and slightly rumpled look. It makes a statement without trying too hard.

So if you haven't already, head on over to Z Avenue and get your own duds ready for the prom. See you there!

Miss Cosmopolitan's Favorite Prom Looks for Girls!

My favorite prom fashions this year are inspired by the years? hottest movies, events , and vacation hotspots. I?ll give you a quick rundown of my top 5 favorite prom looks for you ladies!

1. "Twilight" mania hit the theaters and swept Zwinktopia in late 2008. Why not recreate Bella and Edward?s infamous prom by dressing the part!

2. Last summer I was in awe of the summer Olympic Games in Beijing. Everything from the breathtaking opening ceremonies to the amazing feats of athleticism, and the beautiful and intricate traditional Chinese fashions simply amazed and inspired me.

3. For me, the best part of watching film awards is getting to watch my favorite celebs strut down the red carpet. Pay homage to Hollywood and make your 2009 Prom glamorous!

4. The vibrant colors and relaxed vibe of Tahiti inspired my last but not least look for Prom 2009. Trade in that gown for a grass skirt and wear some tropical flowers in your hair instead of on your wrist!

5. What is my last favorite look for prom? I want to know what you think!!! Send me a Z Note with your suggestions! You might end up seeing me in one of your favorite looks! Thanks and Happy Shopping!

Personality Test: Which blogger are you compatible with?

Previously, we introduced a fun personality test to tell you which zwINK blogger you, our beloved readers, are most compatible with. We got great response!

For our new users who haven't had a chance to take it yet and our fun-lovin' fans who just want to take it again for kicks, we've decided to bring the test back.

If you're a regular reader, then you know that here at zwINK we've got a cool, eclectic collection of writers bringing you the latest and greatest in Zwinky happenings. And while everyone has something in common with each other (some spookily so, as you'll see), each blogger has a distinctive personality.

And it's true, you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she writes. Maybe you've even got a personal fave. But have you ever wondered which of us bloggers you're most compatible with ? not to date so much, but who you'd have the best time hanging out with? Now's your chance to find out! Just answer a few questions and you'll know which blogger's your BFF!

Tattoo your Zwinky profile page!

Throughout the centuries, since Neolithic times if not earlier, the tattoo has served very different purposes for very different types of people.

Ötzi the Iceman, a 5000-year-old man discovered frozen in 1991, had 57 tattoos that are believed to have been therapy for arthritis.

In the 1700s, the United States Navy picked up tattooing from the South Pacific. Each nautical image signifies something about where one has served.

And lately young celebs Lily Allen, Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan have all gotten similar tattoos of "Shhh!" on their index fingers.

But, wait, this is the modern age! And how many of us put as much work into our digital personalities as we do into picking out the right clothes, hairstyles and accessories?

Which is exactly why Webfetti Tattoos are such a necessary thing!

The Most Infectious Mailbag...Ever!

Greetings Zwinksters! Some of you have been asking where I've been lately, and at least a few of you have openly wondered whether I might have become stranded on that desert island again. But fear not, Metro Legion! I am still here. I've just been holed up in my dorm for the past month or so working on my long-awaited book and spending countless hours in the pharmacy stocking up on cold medicine, worried about how Swine Flu might find its way into Zwinktopia.

I know, I know...it's a bit of a stretch. But in Mr. Metropolitan's world, you can never be too careful. So if that person next to you on the bus starts coughing and sneezing, feel free to glare at the person, disapprovingly, before breaking out that portable can or bottle of disinfectant. Tell 'em to stay home next time.

But enough of the talk about illness and public transportation tips. The old mailbag is overflowing with your questions...so let's break it open and tackle a few of them, shall we?
