Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Hey handsome, what’s your hat size?
Blog Guy, I have a deep-seated fear of zombies. Like I was at a party and I met a nice chick but she had a dazed look and she started asking personal brain-related questions and I got scared.
Brain-related questions?
You know, she was like, “Dude, that’s some cranium you got there! How much do you suppose your brain would weigh if it was freshly harvested?” Stuff like that.
Ah. That just sounds like party flirting to me. The real tip-off with zombies is their clothes. They dress in stuff that the living wouldn’t put on. What was she wearing?
Her outfit was kind of a turn-on. It was shiny and see-through, like she had draped a set of cheap venetian blinds over her head and finished it off with Christmas tinsel. She gave me her address and invited me to drop by. You think I should go?
Shiny and see-through? Sure, I don’t see any harm in one visit.

Why do designers come up with this stuff that no one can really wear?
thats a good question. And i think only the fashion world could answer it unfortunatly
The answer is, fashion is as much an art concept as a utilitarian item.
You’re not meant to wear a painting, but wouldn’t it be weird if the contents of some paintings were real? Wouldn’t it be weird if someone wore that?
Basically, it’s art because it inspires some sort of other meaning or theme or feeling, not necessarily a daily sort-of theme. It’s like mass produced music vs. tenuously planned, abstracted and passionately crafted garage music.
Because without fashion designers, there would be no fashion shows.
See? They can do as they please!
We should blame the first designer that tried to show off something that could be worn at the show, but no one would wear on the streets.
Ever since, the fashion designers have been showing impossible clothes on stick figures that resemble women and boys.
And sorry, but I think Jesus would pick up a rock, if he was there, in person, for the first show to show such bizarre ‘fashions.’
Fashion is a joke to all but the closed circle of idiots that produce unwanted garments that only serve to feed the designer’s ego. If I was paying someone to design clothes I would like a return on my investment and NOT a FREAK show!

You’re so right! I got into a LOT of trouble during my last art museum visit. The security guards did not appreciate me trying on a few choice ensembles.
Ps: Van Gogh is sized smaller than listed, so keep that in mind when shopping.
Oh my, what a lovely looking dress!
Ummm… more proof that models are too dang-gone skinny when you can see their rib cages?
