Jon Gosselin called, he wants his clothes back.
Mic looks "special", and Jorge just "threw something on" and left the house...LOL
where is HER fashion sense or style!?
throw on as many brand names as you want but it doesn't give you style
Christina I love your quote. This is a great post.
Jorge, the carpet frock is actually quite interesting as the fabric has enough rigidity to create a sculptural outline (even if in this case the proportions are off) while also providing warmth through its texture . . . but the pants and shoes combined with the overwrought dandy pose kills the look.
Mic, I hope you're not a history teacher because you've muddled together way too many decades with this atrocity.
Sarah Magwood, what an unfortunate name . . . outfit is pretty obvious, a slightly lower waist and shorter hem would be more flattering
Vivian and Gianna, oh please like you knew who McQueen was 2 months ago . . . scouring Ebay looking for the cheapest McQueen garment after his untimely demise can only be beat in tactlessness by wearing matching leggings.
Jade Electra, well what's T.O. fashion week without Eurotrash, Barbie, Joe Stale, and transvestites, yawn.
Jillian Thompson, I don't get it, a restaurant made your dress?
Todd, 45 minutes to tie the bowtie? Maybe you should get that OCD checked out.
Frank Lee, sponsoring a fashion event doesn't make you fashionable, save that suit for the next charity gala.
Christina, you look very comfortable in your clothing
Karli, the only people who can get away with wearing shades indoors are Karl Lagerfeld, aging rock stars, poker players, and class A douches. Turn your head to the right to see how cool elegance is done.
Jason, all that bedazzled bling just accentuates your gut
Saba, are you mourning that sad ethnic print sac hanging on your body?

mad hatter much?
Oh the euphoria, the chance to finally let loose all that pent-up-yet misplaced-superiority in an over-long, wordy diatribe that will vindicate A's overwrought sense of self importance.
Through picking apart outfits she will never fit into; presuming to have insider knowledge of the subjects' motivations for wearing specific garments; and mocking those much prettier, slimmer, and altogether better then herself, A achieves the rare cathartic freedom specifically reserved for those who will never, ever be good enough.
