It’s vile, but dude, it’s ready to wear!

fashion-ready-2-160.jpgThese models are showing stuff at a men’s “ready to wear” fashion collection in Paris, and I put that in quotes because I don’t want you to think I believe it. 

I have to ask this same question every year. Exactly where are these “ready to wear” creations ready to be worn? To a police line-up? Mickey Rourke’s backyard cook-out? Anger management class? The Fight Club? 

“Now Cecil, you have a good time at the party, and remember to unclench your fists as often as possible! Call when you get there, and be home by 9 p.m., okay? Don’t forget your bus tokens!” 

Meanwhile, a “ready to wear” slideshow, and other “ready to wear” news…

Perhaps Mr. Galliano is compensating for something, though I can’t imagine what.

Excellent to see that the House of Galliano is now designing clothes for the hitherto under-served lurching zombie market.

Okay, now I’ve looked at the slideshow. How on Earth did you miss this brilliance? Galliano appears to have fashioned the outfit out of clingwrap, a 14th Century plague mask, various eviscerated Muppets, and Pee Wee Herman’s shoes.

Poor Mr. Galliano. Clearly, he was given a GI Joe action figure as a child, when what he REALLY wanted was a Ken doll. So he has morphed the two into something pleasing to him. We should respect that. Perhaps Mr. Galliano also might want to consider an increase in his daily medication…

N. B., N. B., N. B. It’s a movie reference. Got it? MOVIE reference. Your penance is one Our Father, two Hail Marys and all of the Terminator movies, back-to-back. Yes, you may use the bathroom but no popcorn. NO!
