Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Twice the shame, twice the idiocy…

As a blogger who watches stupid fashions all over the world, I’ve always been happy about one thing. No matter how dumb an outfit is, I only have to see it once.
Until this week, that is. Spotting the outfit on the left, from New York, I set it aside to think of a way to express my contempt. Four days later I’m looking at photos from Madrid, and THERE IT IS AGAIN!
For sure, it’s a match. Same leotards and shoes, same scarlet jacket lining, same plaid culottes or whatever you call them, same cartoon character white gloves….
Only the models themselves are different. I presume the one in the first photo hasn’t yet sensed the audience reaction.
But there is trepidation on the face of the second guy, who must have heard through the model grapevine that the New York crowd heckled and threw stinging Jolly Rancher hard candies that had to be surgically removed.
Then I had another thought, and my blood ran cold.
What if there are hundreds of these “creations,” or THOUSANDS?
What if the designer has tapped into a trend, and when I go to the office tomorrow I’ll be the only one NOT wearing this crapola?
And BTW, what if I’m really that Levi Johnston guy?

Oh the humanity!!!
I think it’s time to point out that the Emperor not only has no clothes…but he’s dead as a doornail too.
These ‘fashion’ types are deluding themselves and people have been sectioned for worse! Sheesh. And I thought the teddy bear sprouting dress was bad.
Is there a ‘disgruntled’ smiley?
E.
those guys are so cute.. sweethearts
This gives Men in Tights a bad name!!!!
The second guy may not have realized that he is indeed, sporty and sexy.
Good point, sarabelle. Or that EVERYONE wants to be HIM…
Have you ever tried to NOT watch fashion shows Mr. B.? Especially the stupid ones.
I’m just sayin..
Can’t see it catching on, myself.
If I didnt know better Bob… I would think you are actually glued to F tv….
This is the best example of someone saying “I told you I had nothing decent to wear!”
I believe that they both are regretting their decision to drop out of college in order to pursue their “glamorous” modeling career…
I’ve met cute people, and I can’t think of any of them who’d look good in that. Someone pass the matches.
I can look cute…but only in my bedroom..shh..
It’s the same model. They just switched heads.
Oooooo CrowGirl ya gonna light a fire?? Fire is pretty…
Unca! That was cracking|!!!!!!! LOL… Laughing my frozen face off….
CG, you sent your snow up here didnt you!!!! Y you little!!
Sorry, Tim, not me. I’ve been keeping quite discreet of late, so you won’t catch me walking down runways this week. Next week and thereafter, I can’t promise…
Then again, you will never, ever, in a hundred lifetimes, make me confess to wearing lime green, hubba-hubba leotards! At least not with scarlet jacket lining!
I just cant get over the white-turned-yellow tights comment…. Think I am going to remember that whenever I see someone in yellow tights….
And you know… those shorts would really look good on a girl… maybe on me….
I know… I have had an overdose… tra lalalalala la la la!!
Skorts are the clothing version of the mullet except backwards. While mullets are all business in the front and party in the back, skorts are party in the front and conservative in the back.
CrowGirl where’s the fire, I am waiting!
Shra, sweetheart, go easy on the meds dear. It’s only the middle of the week.
Not me Shra babe, I’m still getting snow down here. Maybe you’ve got Knit Nurse’s ?
Nah, I’ve still got plenty. I blame southerners.
Seeing that I dont know her well, yet, I am still gonna blame it on you!!!
