Dear Mr. Big Shot Fashion Designer:
I am writing to say I believe you designers should be required to include, on every outfit you sell, a label suggesting places where the thing can be worn.
This would certainly help me respond when my wife says, “Bob, what is this fricking crap in your closet, and just where do you think you’re going in it?”
In the week since I purchased one of your “creations” I can tell you they are NOT appropriate attire for…
a) a visit with Grammy in the nursing home
b) the 6:30 a.m. Delta Shuttle from DC to New York
c) a Phillies home game
d) an appearance on “Ice Road Truckers”
With all due respect, sir, I am sitting here right now in full attire, waiting for you to tell me where to go. Oh wait, maybe you already did.

What’s with all the belts!?!? Planning to do some heavy lifting?
- Posted by ChrisWere they required to wear such murderous and tortured expressions?
- Posted by volatile_antThe murderous and tortured expressions weren’t mandatory. They were a side effect of wearing such clothes.
- Posted by Chainerthis is so funny… designers actually make jokers of models and the world loves it… !!!
- Posted by NickMy biggest concern is not the clothes, but why their faces are so much darker than their chests. Couldn’t they find real Arabs for the job?
- Posted by LauraOh!! …So they mean to look like arabs, are they?!? Thank you very much, Laura, I hadn’t thought of that! I thought it was just part of the whim of the designer!
