WARNING: No scarflessness on this beach!

galliano-2-160.jpgHey, Blog Guy. I’m furious! I tried to go swimming at my favorite beach yesterday, and there was a sign saying “Hat, scarf and flower  required.” Have you heard of anything like this?

Yes, it’s becoming common. Look, you can try to fight it, but while you’re there arguing, professional models will sashay right onto the beach, because they are already dressing like that at the big fashion shows. 

I suggest you give it a try. If you hit the beach tomorrow with a big hat, a long scarf and a corsage, I guarantee people will pay attention to you.

Great. So now I have to get through the day with an image of Androgynous Barbara Streisand floating around my head.

Memries, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So its the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember…

-The Way We Were
Barbara Streisand

Bob, I know that Galliano is a great source of material for Oddly Enough, but I have to be honest, seeing idiotic getups like this make me want to throw things at the computer. Galliano is a SICK SICK man. He needs intense therapy.

He dressed a male model like a circus clown/girl on top, and a skimpy pair of undies and flip flops on the bottom. Can you say fetish?! Hello?!

Well Charlene, who am I to pick on people who need intense therapy?
