How to look in this dress? New answers site

Last weekend was in Los Angeles and took some time to kill, so are placed shopping — alone. I found a dress that I liked and the salesperson told me that sounded great (obviously). When he returned to New York and tried to dress up for my husband, hated it. Should I go?

I uploaded a picture of the dress and placed the question honestly now to find out. The Web site and iPhone app (free at Apple.com) allow you to tap your friends, or all honestly now community for their opinion on everything from fashion to better photos than the tooth fairy headshot would pay for a tooth.

Here's how it works. It is first necessary to participate in the community honestly now. You can get an invitation from founder Tereza Nemessanyi on his profile page. Then you need to connect with your friends (once you're a member you can invite people to guarantee anonymity in a poll by private friends, you must have at least five friends).

Questions can be text or include photos and can be posed as multiple choice or Yes or no.  Then you choose who poll: all or only your friends. Your friends and all professionals that "heart" you will be informed that you have asked a question, and you just sit back and let the responses to roll in.

When your friends to answer your questions, their answers are anonymous.  As Nemessanyi says, "the honesty in the world market for analog is highly imperfect. Our friends often do not tell us the truth. So we make it easy for them to be honest with you. "

Once someone has replied to a question, you can see the percentages for all other respondents. So, answering questions can become highly addictive.

Professionals who are part of the community include Hollywood life Editor Bonnie Fuller, image guru Montgomery Frazier, designer Marc Bouwer, beauty expert Rachel Hayes, Erin Newkirk etiquette maven and photographer Liz Brown, among others. Professionals can post comments about your question, giving extra tips or explaining their response. Only professionals can publish comments.

Of course there are other options of opinion out there. But do not provide the same experience. For example, OpinionAided.com and the OpinionAided iPhone app (free of charge at Apple.com) allow you to target your questions, by sex and age group. They also allow you to filter the questions that are answered by age and content. However, anyone can leave a comment and there is a less serious bent, when questions are questions at all. For example, someone uploaded a picture of Blueberry pancakes made with the question "you gotta love IHOP."

There is also the Fashism.com fashion-oriented and its iPhone app, Fashism Mobile (free at Apple.com), that cater to a teen and twenty public. They allow you to see the comments of other people and their votes before giving your input, which makes good navigation, but inevitably deviations answers you get.

So how did my dress on honestly rate now? Now, 75 percent say I must keep it. But I also have a comment on my dress from guru image Frazier. He says, "at present, this dress makes her hair look mousey and lifeless! If you were to keep this habit, which is actually flattering for your body, but not for the coloring, I would advise to color your hair a deep rich red or copper. " Yikes! Since I'm not planning to dye my hair, I think you can go back.
