Goofy tricks on fashion models…

fashion-black-eyes-160.jpgMemo to fashion show staff:

I have as good a sense of humor as anybody, but I was NOT amused today. Which one of the dressing room workers gave Trudy some novelty binoculars to look through just before she went out? We all know the models are light-headed from lack of food, so where’s the challenge in fooling them?

That brings me to another thing. Somebody put Fiona’s COAT on backwards and put blue nylon  STOCKINGS on her arms, and told her it was her runway outfit. They didn’t even bother to get the SEAMS straight! 

Haven’t we taken advantage of these poor models enough recently, what with the dreaded man-bonnets, and that trouserless guy and the Mercedes Man thing? Where’s your compassion?

After fifty years of having to put up with itchy, uncomfortable panty hose, we FINALLY convince the fashion industry to declare nylons out of fashion, only for this travesty to emerge?!

What do we have to do: blow up the nylon factories?

It’s designed by a guy named Jesus, right? Looks like a variation on a theme - Nun + Queen Elizabeth…
