Earlier this week I did an item about a hot new fashion trend, dresses that leave one you-know-what exposed, so a woman has to cover it with her hand. I pointed out many flaws in this design, like if you’re left-handed it’s hard to take notes in algebra class and stuff like that.
But some readers were like, “Bob, that’s just one dress, it’s not a trend, so shut up.”
Well skeptics, you heard it here first. Behold a similar creation from a fashion show yesterday, in MIAMI! Unless this model is just wearing her dress backwards, the trend has arrived on our shores and we have to accept it.
Women, I guess it’s time to get out ahead of the curve, so to speak, and start practicing. Take one of your old dresses and some scissors, do your own design, and wear it out to a restaurant this weekend. If anybody objects, send them to my blog.

Great new fashion! If we could match this with a two handed handshake, when meeting people life would be grand !
- Posted by Pleased to meet youYou know…some little tassles or pasties would probably make a little more sense….

Be careful what you wish for. If you think all women have nice little breasts like models you are sadly mistaken. Some breasts are creepy to look at and it’s a good thing they remain covered.
- Posted by DanI believe female athletes in the ancient Greek Olympics competed with one breast exposed. Been there. Done that.
- Posted by davidThat chick is smoking hot and her and her boobs need to be in pictures more.
- Posted by WouterWomen didn’t compete in the ancient Greek Olympics, nor were they allowed to watch since men competed in the nude. However, the Amazons in Greek mythology were a tribe of warrior women who removed one of their breasts so that it would be easier for them to throw spears.
- Posted by ChuckNot to throw spears, even though it is a close call, but to use their bow. Sword wielding is easier as well without these… burdens, in a way.
- Posted by VThe Amazons used bows, not spears. Their right breast obstucted the bowstring when they fired, so they cut it off (the breast, not the bowstring).
All in all, a stupid fashion.
- Posted by John Mit is a little sad that designers should resort to this
underhanded sleight of hand to garner a little slither of
fame for themselves and their dark little worlds’.
but the greatest misjustice is the insult to the gorgeous
models who have to put up with the peevish, whimsical nature of said DESIGNER, just to earn a few greenbacks and maintain a little continuity of work.
guessing designer males’ come and go, but beautiful, intelligent women are here to stay; more power to them…
- Posted by brettoIt’s just a boob.
- Posted by TljI just wanna see it all to make sure it’s real!
- Posted by PreacherI think it’s fun and whimsical fashion that is long overdue. We, as Americans, have become even more prudish than we were 20 years ago! What’s the deal with that? It’s time to loosen up and have fun for a change!
- Posted by Delia Ordonez-TateI agree with Tlj it’s just a boob :-/
- Posted by pootIn these tought times, we’re all cutting back.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksThe Congressional FCC Wardrobe Malfunction Oversight Subcommittee only cares if the event was broadcast. In the United States, that is.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksI think it’s a beautiful design! Also note you could wear a lacy bra or tank of another color if you are scared of baring it all! I am so very proud of the designer Kimya Glasgow who hails from the island of St. Vincent & The Grenadines…Kudos Kimya! :o)
