Is that DOCTOR No, or just MS. No?

no-face-140.jpgHere’s something you don’t see very often, a haute couture fashion model with ”NO” written on her face in big letters.

It would be nice if our captions mentioned why, but they don’t. I’m guessing there must be some question this young woman is asked so often that she just doesn’t even want to waste her time replying any longer.

What in the heck could it mean? Like maybe, “NO, you may not ride my Vespa to the haberdasher’s!” or “NO, I don’t like Jerry Lewis!”or “NO, I don’t know how much this outfit costs!”

Those would be my guesses. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m looking for the “YES” models….

Did anyone else flash back to Madeline Kahn in History of the World: Part I?

I actually like the model’s dress. It’s tasteful. So I think the NO is simply a NO to tasteful clothing. NO to pretty colors, women without biowling balls on their head, or raggedy ann dresses, just NO to anything remotely attractive…

Ill advised. “Hi. I’m a representative from a major west coast clothing distributor. I’d like to see No more.” click.

Ring, ring.

“Hi. Do you have that new fashion line I’ve seen on Reuters Odd Blogs?” “No?” “Sorry, then.” click.

You get the idea.
