Blog Guy, I mainly come here for your coverage of really bad fashion. You do show us ALL the worst creations, right?
Of course I do. Except the stuff I need to protect my readers from, of course. But everything else gets…
Wait a second, Blog Guy. Nobody asked you to protect us.
We can take it, no matter how bad it is. We DEMAND to see the worst runway designs this year, and we want to see them now!
But I don’t think…
Don’t make me go to your boss, Blog Guy.
Okay, you asked for it.
Up at the top we have Hulga, sporting a bighorn sheep hairstyle, made possible by 4,260 rubber bands. She hasn’t blinked in a week.
Oh my God!
On the left, we have the worst men’s suit I’ve seen since 1974. I don’t know what made those lipstick marks on the guy’s face, but I’m positive it wasn’t human.
And here, on the right, we have an actual item from a women’s ready-to-wear fashion collection” in Paris. It appears to have been designed largely for survival in case your plane makes an emergency water landing.
I’ve been sitting on this photo since last March, because it is virtually indescribable. I will say that my favorite thing about it is that the model is wearing a navel ring, as if anybody on earth is going to care.
No! Take these away, Blog Guy! I need eye bleach!
Sorry, pal. You can’t put the genie back in the, you know, genie shredder or however that saying goes…

I see that Hulga has upgraded to an all-seeing-eye in the middle of her forehead.
That last outfit is just tragic – the only good thing may be the shoes, Shra?
Hulga rulessssssssss!!!!!!!!!
And I see shoeeeeeeeeeesssssss!
It’s not the navel ring that does the trick. It’s that little mole at 2 o’clock. Nice little accent of style.
Pajamas meet doorman meet circus performer in the second photo.
I humbly offer a haiku:
You call this fashion?!?
I call it “confusing mess
but entertaining.”
BlogGuy … I need a doughnut, stat.
I wonder if the model in the first pic knows she has giant ladybugs crawling all over her.
Hulga need eat! Dave need doughnuts!
A fashion designer’s creation
Sometimes defies explanation
What they call ready-to-wear
Or some artistic flair
Seems more fit for a societal aberration
That was my sister that was kissing Mr. Funny Suit! As far as her being human, Mom always said there was something strange about sis.
Maybe it was Hulga kissing Mr. Fancy Pants?
is Hulga’s necklace made of Pop Rocks? And she’s sporting the at-home facelift hairstyle. Nice.
the guy looks like he’s dressed as a doorman on a rainy day, complete with the fold-up poncho.
I’m pretty sure that last one is made from trash bags.

That’s quite a monobrow Hulga’s sporting. She’s not related to Lamar or Johnson by any chance?
With those eyebrows, is Hulga related to Brooke Shields?
I’m curious about Hulga’s hairy yarmulke shaped like a widow’s peak.
I’m imagining the man in photo #2 wearing a pair of cowboy boots to complete his ensemble.
@Spin: Maybe its to help keep her hair-horns in place when she locks them in combat with her enemies, such as badgers, death panels, big horned sheep, fashion critics, etc. That is if her opponents don’t faint at the sight of her eyebrows first.
And here I thought that Hulga was wearing the Wurst Hairdo…
Still better than being forced to look at most pictures of Paris Hilton.
Hulga’s a rather interesting name. Blog Guy, Hulga doesn’t happen to have a wooden leg by any chance, does she?
That Hulga is so clever! Having her ram horn hairdo keeps her from tipping over in the direction of her necklace.
My sense of fashion is non existant; but the snow white superhero made me giggle!
Meanwhile, the woman in the bottom photo seems to be wearing her trash bags as clothing.
Jclimacus, surely it doesn’t surprise you that I’m a flannery o’connor fan…
I had my suspicions Blog Guy, now they’re confirmed
Her best story IMHO
Yes, I had my suspicions Blog Guy, she’s a favorite of mine too
I’m guessing you may be a Charles Portis fan as well, jclimacus?
very perceptive BG. what did you make of the True Grit remake?
I loved it. I thought it had more damned fun with my mother tongue than anything I’ve seen in years. I wish they had kept the original Portis closing sentence, which was lovely, but I’m sure they had their reasons. It was worth ten times the ticket price just seeing Jeff Bridges say, “Well, that did not pan out.” What did you think of it?
much the same. I felt it did justice to the humor of the original better than the 1969 version. “I am struck that LaBoeuf is shot, trampled, and nearly severs his tongue, and not only does not cease to talk, but spills the banks of English!”
Hah! I have interviewed Portis, and he was great fun. I’ll never understand why nobody has managed to turn “Dog of the South” into a very fine movie, though if anybody could do it, it’s the Coens.
I can’t believe that y’all haven’t mentioned the likeness of Hulgas and Madonnas Bullet Brassieres! Although, Hulga IS carrying hers higher…
I’m liking Hulga’s combover eyebrow look.
Seriously, who wears this stuff? :/
@Fwd – people who are too weak to fight when somebody dresses them
Great idea, BG. It’s a shame Portis is not more well known!
