Introducing the waist-necklace?

Tags: Oddly Enough, , , ,

Once again the fashion industry takes a turn for the practical, offering up this outfit perfectly suited for a wide range of occasions, whether you’re representing deadbeats in tax court, walking your ferret, flying in your gyrocopter, or just enjoying an evening of miniature golf.

My only problem is, in spite of being a longtime observer of the haute couture scene, sometimes they hit me with confusing new articles of clothing, like that uni-sleeve deal a few weeks ago.

I’m not quite sure what to call that piece of jewelry hanging from this model’s waist. It’s like, you know, a necklace that slid down, or like a really heavy belt, and frankly I’m not completely sure she is even wearing it in the right place. So if you happen to own one, can you please check the box it came in and see what they call it?

I would call it a “pair of very uncomfortable panties worn on the outside”.

It appears she may have confused her tiara and belt.

Or maybe it’s the newest thing in chastity belts. Anyone see a padlock?

Regardless, someone should tell her not to pull her top up so far. She’s in danger of spillage.

Spillage, K? She sneers in the face of spillage. (And in the face of everything else, if the photo is to be believed.)

Although I haven’t seen a hat like that since Elmer Fudd in Rabbit of Seville.

I’m still wondering why she has a bonsai tree growing out of her head.

Hey, you think that waist necklace could be some kind of World Wrestling Federation trophy?

^^ YES!! It could become the winner’s belt of the “WMM” (World Model Meltdown)

I’d hate to date a woman with a neck that thick. That’s just me, mind you.

My elderly mother-in-law once told me that during her twenties, a long pearl necklace stategically knotted was known as a p*ssy knocker. I see no reason we can’t recycle the retro term.

What’s up with her right arm?! Has it died in horror of the rest of her outfit?!

She found it in the dumpster.
Don’t you like it?

How about the tree?
No?

In the Medieval and early Renaissance eras, waist adornments were called girdles. I wish the picture had focussed more on it that the whole model. Of course, back then the dresses covered more too. LOL!
