I like the idea, but strongly dislike the copy. The first sentence sounds like something Paris Hilton would say, and even if you are advertising fashion, that's not a compliment. There are times to break the grammar rules about starting sentences with a conjunction like 'but', however this isn't an example of one.

- Commenting in all caps with poor spelling and grammar is so done before -

- The only thing more rare than a good ad is a good guest comment -

I like this! Does make you think about the unusual opportunities there are to put a positive spin on things :D

Oh, and Dale - ...Commenting in all caps with "poor spelling and grammar is so done before"... ?
Were you attempting irony?

Obvious copy... good idea, though.
