Decoy or doofus? You decide…

decoy-this-crop-160.jpgRegular readers know this is my favorite time of year, when the big designers let us see what well-dressed police decoys will be wearing soon.

It’s getting harder to attract savvy criminals into situations where they will rob somebody so police can swoop down on them, which is why this week’s Paris Decoy Show is so impressive. This is the perfect decoy ensemble. It says, “Boy this bag of gold doubloons is heavy!” as well as “What was my name again?”

I have to say this is the best batch of decoy duds since… You know, you’ll have to excuse me. I think I’m going to go rob this guy myself!

Is “Elbaz” a hebrew word for Metrosexual?! This guy looks like he can’t make up his mind if he wants to be the white Michael Jackson, or a doctor…

Looking at that photo makes me want to yodel the song from that Price is Right game.

Or maybe I just want to send this guy over a cliff.

People, people! Give the poor, pasty French fellow some credit. He’s on a Paris runway with sandals but he’s NOT wearing socks. Even fashion models have to draw the line somewhere.
