Blog Guy, why don’t designers ever give us a chance to dress like great women of the past, evoking the glamour of bygone days?
You should check out some creations from a recent haute couture show in Paris. One, called the Mother Teresa, makes the natural connection between a saintly woman who worked with the poor of the Earth, and, you know, super-rich chicks with a fortune to spend on designer dresses.
Did they offer anything else for those of us who may not be on the path to sainthood?
Yes, there was also one outfit named after a celebrated 19th century novelist who dressed like a a man and called herself George Sand.
I see. Let’s go back to the Mother Teresa one, then. How would that look with my patent Jimmy Choo pumps?

Funny, I didn’t realize Mother Teresa was such a fan of brand names.
Although that George Sand outfit is *exactly* like an outfit she was once drawn wearing…
- Posted by CharleneCharlene, I believe you’re confusing George Sand with Charlie Chaplin. It’s a common mistake.
