: "Paris Hilton was immortalized this week when the new edition of the 'Oxford Book of Quotations' hit shelves, and her contribution wasn't simply 'That's hot.' The book includes her quote: 'Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in.'"

:

: Words to live by.

That's not perhaps the most common turn of phrase, but the advice is sound and the grammar passable. Just yesterday SWMBO and I watched a program similar to "What Not to Wear," but with two English women teaching some clueless American woman to dress nore stylishly. They didn't actually say "dress cute," but they insisted that she put color and flair into her wardrobe, as life was too short to spend hiding under a drab outfit.
