NEW YORK (AP) - Rob Thomas says he spends more time primping than his wife, model Marisol. "She's the most stylish, but I take longer to get ready," the 36-year-old singer said Wednesday while the couple admired the Marchesa presentation at the Chelsea Art Museum in Manhattan.

"If I were more stylish, I would take less time. But I have no vision, so I have to try on everything at first to see if I want to wear it. She can tell right away what's gonna work and what's not gonna work. But I have to put on the pants, put on the shirt, put on the jacket, put on seventeen other jackets," he explained.

Thomas, whose hits include "Push," ''3 A.M." and "Smooth," said he's less vain than fearful that he'll "look like an idiot."

Marisol Thomas wore a black lace dress by Marchesa, while her husband sported a suit coat and pants — and his signature shaggy haircut.
