Confidential memo to fashion show staff:

It’s no secret that Fashion Week has gotten too tame. There’s no surprise or drama anymore.

We aim to change that, starting now. You all have your assignments.

Kelli, you’re spreading splotches of Vaseline on the runway, right?

Lonnie, it’s your job to stretch a thin wire across the runway at ankle-level.

Stephanie, if the stiletto heels on some of those shoes are loosened, I’ll look the other way, if you take my meaning.

Earl, you need to be nearby with a snow shovel. If some of the models don’t get back up, push ‘em off as fast as you can. And Earl, watch out for that Vaseline!

I feel like I should not be looking. Maybe I should go wash my face now. Thanks.

Maybe if the designers wouldn’t make the models wear those IDIOTIC shoes, they wouldn’t trip! Good god, they’re already as tall as giraffes. Maybe the SOBs are hoping the girls will trip and show their undies, more publicity…

I think the girl in the second picture is just dancing.

I see London…I see France…

Is this a result of low blood sugar (we all know models don’t eat) or broken marionette strings?

Sorry I’ve been away, Bob. The alien in my belly has been taking up a lot of my time. She seems reluctant to wait until her due date.
