Guys, we have a problem. The big fashion show is tomorrow, and our showcase creation designed by The Committee is awful. Well, not so much awful, more like ghastly, horrid and frightful. It consists of a puffy-sleeved blouse festooned with measuring tape, a leather skirt, and my grandmother’s old quilt, and its crowning glory is, um, a crown.
So how do we get a model to wear it since we’re no longer allowed to point guns at them? I’ll tell you how. We design a steel cage to go on top of her, and we call it an accessory. Let her shuffle down the runway in that! Next season, everybody will be dragging these things around, and they’ll call us geniuses.

- Posted by Shawn HendricksOnce there was a talkative queen who loved to talk and talk and talk. She kept talking and talking and talking like one of these little Yorkshire dogs so her subjects convinced the court jester to trick the queen into putton a dog’s muzzle. After the queen muzzled herself she began to try to talk. Even muzzled, the queen kept talking and talking and talking and the muzzle began to stretch. Then it began to grow and with the talking and talking and talking. The muzzle finally grew right up into the queen’s crown. All of her subjects went out and bought earplugs and ignored the queen and then they all lived happily after. The end.

- Posted by Shawn HendricksLaura is showing us the very latest in personal protection fashion. This particular piece encourages the 3 foot of personal space recommended by sending a surge of 50,000 volts of electricity through the surrounding cage at timed intervals. People standing too close on the subway? Not anymore! Is your boyfriend’s groping getting out of control? Take care of it! We guarantee that anyone invading your personal space will be unable to bother you again!
