Runway twist new grist for the wrist

cubes-crop-160.jpgWell, the fashion industry says these clear cube bracelets will be huge this summer, but I don’t think so. Here are some problems I see:

  • - You know how you buy a bag of fried pork rinds from a vending machine and they don’t come all the way down, so then you have to stick your hand up there and grab them? You try doing that wearing these!

- A summer accessory? Two words: sun magnification. We’re talking heat rash, second degree burns and wrists so puffy you’ll have to hack the things off with a saw!

- Think you can eat corn-on-the-cob wearing these? Think again…

- And finally, no matter what some slick ad campaign tells you, cheap clear plastic is not “the new platinum.”

She’s also wearing a great sharp pointy piece of glass around her NECK. Safety? Ha! She laughs in the face of safety!

Also in the face of what constitutes a proper bikini. Since when do they come with full-length trousers and an apron?

Not what I had in mind when I proposed snorting crystal of a model’s body. Who am I kidding? Count me in!

Or that could even be OFF a model’s body.

If she had a plexiglass skirt I’d be concerned about greenhouse gasses.
