Poncho hate

My hate of transparent rain ponchos has actually increased dramatically after I saw someone wearing one fashionably. I mean, if you really need to wear a clear plastic bag over you, and there are stores that are willing to sell you clear plastic bags that will make you look foxy, why would you buy something that gives you the vibe of an overpriced, day-old turkey club sandwich? Why?

Shirt or accordion?

I know this is on a mannequin, insulting whom isn’t really my usual gig, but I couldn’t let this photo go on living a peaceful life on Flickr… I just couldn’t. I mean, look at it. It’s awkward enough on a hanger — like a dandy mated with a dot matrix printer — imagine how it will look when you stick some breasts, hips, and an optional fat roll or two under it. My God, the humanity…

Hairy situation

Is the scary yarn clown hair attached to the hat? And if so, does that make it less scary or more scary?

They’re looking at me

Someone call Aubrey Beardsley. He wants his pants back. And his red marker.

As the photographer astutely pointed out, you would be able to see cooch if it weren’t for the blessing of this woman’s large thighs. Which isn’t an excuse! Bring back bloomers.

Why jeans? Why stop your madness at the hips?

This isn’t a Halloween costume. It isn’t even a clubbing costume. It’s a bartender. At work. Serving drinks. With black tape on her nipples and a horrible black chasm of a belly tattoo which is sucking me into oblivion. Also, bad lip-liner. 

Velvet and sportswear, before they mated

I know you’re just going on a quick errand to… um… wherever that is, but seriously? If there’s anything I don’t like, it’s the gap of skin between the top of the sock and the bottom of the trouser. It’s so crude. And this is that gap, but higher! Whiter! Amplified! Help!

It’s hard to find something that makes me ignore the matching dresses and crocs in the background. Is this their older sister, or parent? Did they help decorate it? Why aren’t there any peace signs? Do you know that those jeans aren’t flattering? Yikes.

Who watches the watchmen?

The only way to make this girl’s ass look completely terrible? She found it. Why? Why? I just can’t understand.

Don’t sweat it

I have to say that I’m mildly intrigued by this item. It’s like a sweater with Asberger’s… it just doesn’t understand how to be a normal sweater. I mean, firstly, sweater vests are kinda weird. But sweater vests with hoods? They’re cute. They’re certainly not, yknow, optimal. But they just can’t help themselves! They do the best they can! It’s touching, really.
