Honey, you’re draggin’ a circus tent!

bigdresses-160.jpgMy fashion taste is all about designs that are practical, so I note with some alarm that this season, many of the dresses we’re seeing are only slightly smaller than the Grand Coulee Dam.

I mean, is nobody expected to take a dress home anymore? Do you transport this thing on your car roof, like a Christmas Tree? What if you don’t have a spare bedroom to devote to a single article of clothing? Not to be indelicate, but God forbid you need to hit the powder room after a few Coronas Lights, or urgently want to visit a confessional.

“Hi, Tina. I’ll pick you up at 8 o’clock on Friday for our date. I can’t wait to see your new dress! Have you ever ridden in a Mini Cooper before?”

Did I mention flatulence at a fashion show? Looks like D&G have taken steps to cleverly mask the problem. Notice the charcoal-impregnated fabric? The dissipative fabric ‘gills?’ D&G have taken your farts under their control and you pass the wind beneith their wings.

Dolce, say you’re sorry to Gabbana. Gabbana, you are wrong too so apologize. Now, both of you go to your rooms and work on your own dresses.

Finally, some quiet.

I’m imagining the Marylin Monroe thing, but with the model sent ass over teakettle.

She is a pretty good model but D&G said she should be further trained.
