Lamar, where did you get the models for today’s fashion show?
From my psychiatrist. They’re all in therapy for various things, so they’re happy to have the work.
Therapy? Is it safe to have them here?
Oh sure, Boss, most of the ones with violent tendencies turned down the gig. My shrink says one of these chicks is being treated for narcolepsy.
You mean the excessive urge to sleep at inappropriate times, such as while at work, huh? I bet I can spot that one.
Lamar, the rest of the models aren’t even stopping to help her.
Yeah, those would be the members of Doc’s therapy group for the totally self-absorbed. He says they’re not making much progress…

Maybe this is a fire drill… Stop, drop, and roll.
“Haute Couture Collection?” Well, they all look pretty “haute” to me…and the one on the ground seems to have “over-hauted,” if you know what I mean.
I like the red shoes AND I like the black shoes.
Are you listening, Mr.B?
Don’t sleep on the runway, darlin’.
Don’t stand in the pouring rain.
Don’t sleep in the runway, darlin’.
The dress is long.
Forget your foolish shoes.
Nothing’s wrong,
You’re just modeling again.
@Shra: I’m not sure that Blog Guy has a direct line with Santa, if that’s what you’re thinking.
It’s time for a Friday haiku:
Haute couture clothing
On some self-absorbed models
So why is this new?
I want everyone to know that my Lamar is not seeing a shrink because he needs to. Mr B was negligent to not point that out. Lamar attends sessions twice a week only because it makes his family happy. (Some silly thing years ago about dead cats.) My Lamar is as sane as I am.
You’re probably right about that last thing, ladylala….
Why oh why the zombie weekend??
looks like fashion roadkill
Brilliant, Georgia. Absolutely brilliant.
I’m sure that model used to row for Australia.

@Georgia: I’m with BG, comment of the day
@Frisco:
When you’re alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go
To the fashion show
When you’ve got worries
You can dress like a snow flurry
And plop on the floor down low
At the fashion show
Just look at all the high heeled shoes
Of models on the runway
Linger but don’t trip
Over the model that fell down one way
How can you lose?
@LadyLala: I’m not surprised, as we have seen Lamar’s mother all but running with scissors.
@GeorgiaPeach: Your comment takes the cake.
Maybe the poor girl was trampled in the mad rush when they announced Mango Tic-Tacs in the lunch buffet.
really, Jazz? As long as there is one pack of Tic Tacs, that’s enough to feed the entire group for a day or two (at least!)
thanks, all. I must confess that’s a line from Sex In The City
Georgia, spot on. Hard to counter…
Is it just me, or does the dress of the fashion roadkill (thanks, @GeorgiaPeach) seem to be riding quite low?
@Shra, where in the world do you see red shoes? Rather where on this blog do you see red shoes?
@Nosmo: read the article; cannot understand why she stays in the sport…
@Spin: maybe that’s a ruffly blanket they threw on the road kill and not a dress at all!
There’s a brand new lurch but I don’t know its name
That zombies from graveyards do again and again
It’s big and it’s bland, full of slouching and lears
They do it over there, but we don’t do it here
Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Turn to the right
O-o-o-oh, fashion!
We are the undead and we’re coming to town
Beep-beep!
I’m agog at the sheer talent of this blog’s lyricists! Frisco, Spin, jclimacus — you’re brilliant!
Ladylala, after rereading these comments I have to say, your ability to remain in-character in every comment about Lamar is amazing. I salute you.
Character, Mr B, character has ever been my strong suit.

I have THE eye, Mr.Pilot.
