A spittoon on your head? THAT’S glamour!

January 22, 2008

“Somebody dump the ficus out of that green planter and put it on model number one! Number two gets a fright wig from wardrobe. Three, this Roman chariot hubcap will have to do for you. Number four, take these riding stirrups and reflective safety tape. Okay, someone empty that brass spittoon and slam it on number five!

“Number six, you get the art deco lampshade. Don’t burn your ears on the hot glass, honey! Welcome to the glamorous world of fashion! Yes, you’ll all be in the slideshow!”

I just viewed the slideshow.

Has the ancient Chinese practice of foot-binding been revived at the House of Dior?

Is Galliano descended from a long line of torturers???

Or perhaps in another lifetime a model said something mean to him and he has been exacting revenge in this lifetime? [I had to get all Shirley Maclaine there because lord knows there just ain't no rational explanation...]

 

We’re criticizing only the hats, right. The outfits make perfect sense.

 

Imaginative use of a lampshades,woks,steel drums as accessories for an outfit that.

Don’t use the spittoon until you take it off.

The latest in head attire can also serve as a shield from mind control, should aliens ever take over the Earth…

I get it now — they are protected from alien death rays while they are on the catwalk. Fab union those babes have.
