Nobody wants to see exposed fashion models!

Okay Lonnie, we took you on as an intern during Paris Fashion Week because what the hell, you were willing to work for free just to meet the models.

But Lon, we assigned you a VERY simple task, just to wash the tops for each outfit, and what happened?

Every one of them shrank drastically, leaving the models fully exposed on the runway! You think anybody wants to see that?

Lonnie, I’m sure this was just an accident, but we did warn you that heat shrinks fabric. So what did you do wrong?

Really? Washed them repeatedly all night long in a steam room, huh, and then dried them over a Weber grill?

Well gee, that sounds like an innocent mistake to me, Lon…

I’ve said before that the fashion industry’s tendency to self-parody needed to be nipped in the bud. Leave it to them to take that advice and go in the opposite direction…

YEP, WORDS CANNOT DISCRIBE HOW FAR OUT THERE, PEOPLE WILL GO TO SEEM CUTTING EDGE. WHEN WIL SOME TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY” WHAT AM I DOING TO THE KIDS TODAY”.

Maybe the notion was lost in translation and they instead heard, “the fashion industry needs more nips” ?

They would be wise to avoid Brussels.

That one model appears to be in funerary clothing. And their makely is just made for the Day of the Dead.

Shrouded in fact,

Believe it or not, there are some of us out here that don’t care whether they are clothed or not. It’s just nice to see good people.

Nobody wants to see them? hmmmm. Since you have censored the pics, it is not possible to determine whether I want to see these models exposed or not. In general, it is safe to say, “yes, I do like to see ‘exposed’ females” so it also pretty safe to say that your headline is quite presumptuous.

With the emphasis being on ‘good’ there, right Ron? Maybe it’s just me, but green facepaint and grey hair just don’t do it for me.

I found the headline titillating.

Do not forget, red rimmed, bloodshot eyes… how can that be “good”??
