That Wardrobe Budget was Necessary

October 24th, 2008

Seriously. Palin dresses like a blind Church o’ Christer. A blind, cold Church o’ Christer.

Palin Valley Trash

Unless you’re having an affair on your yacht with a model (and given that flag-draped picture and Palin’s known indiscretions, she might have been), there’s no way that look plays in the Halls of Power.

In all fairness, her outfits are totally appropriate for Alaska. That pink thing is probably Eskimo-wear, and the rest all look like typical mom/cold/outdoorsy stuff and completely unobjectionable.

But I thought that focusing on Satan’s outerwear would make for a nice change of pace.

Rumba Panties

October 25th, 2006

Apparently these “rumba panty” things are all the rage these days. Who knew? Not me. Actually, I didn’t even know what they were until about 30 seconds ago.

I guess it’s only natural that panties that are a half step away from bloomers are making a comeback, what with the resurgence of the American Taliban and all. Still… what happened to the “h” in rhumba?

Up next: the return of the merkin!

Wedgepadrilles ahoy!

June 30th, 2006

Just from the bus, to the coffee shop, to my office this morning, I saw six, count ‘em, six wedgepadrille -wearing fashion sheeple. One of them even had an honest-to-god flower print on the canvas tops. Lillies, I think.[fn1]

The insanity must stop!

Or not. I mean, if they’re comfortable and cheap, that’s cool. If you don’t mind looking like a reject from the Three’s Company tryouts that is.

You know, I think I’d be OK with these things if they didn’t have that woven mat siding shit.

[fn1] Grumpy word of advice – do not do a Google image search for ‘lilly’ with SafeSearch off from work. Just sayin’.

Fashion trend o’ the summer

June 23rd, 2006

Currently sweeping the nation… Daisy Dukes. Even shorter, actually. Kind of a half-ass cheek version. What is this, round 5 with these things? And don’t even get me going on the stripper shoes, either.

Celeb sightings from the past 2 days:

Post short shortsAguilera short shorts

Not that I’m complaining about the shorts, of course. Just remarking. Wedgepadrilles… now those I hate. Also, someone give Posh a sammich or three.

And, OK, they’re not Daisy Dukes in that the denim isn’t shredded… but what they are is short shorts made out of denim. And denim hot pants didn’t have quite the same ring. Half moon shorts is too long too. So you’re getting Daisy Dukes, and you’re going to like it!

And dudes seem to be wearing… dude things. Dudes don’t really change, just the length of the shorts, the amount of hair on the head, and the angle of the baseball cap. To illustrate, here’s one for the ladies:
