Unfinished superhero costume?

Posted by: Robert Basler

The fashion industry seems to be focusing on a new breed of ultra fashion victims these days. The outfit seen here, unveiled at Madrid’s recent fashion week, appears to cut off the ability to see, hear or smell, even though some people actually think those senses come in handy now and then.

If you pick up her up for a date and this is what she’s wearing, you can pretty much cross off dinner, dancing, movies and concerts from your list. And don’t even think about trying to get her on an airplane.

So, what does that leave? My advice is to take her for a long afternoon walk on a sunny beach. At least then you can make fun of her bizarre tan lines tomorrow.

Okay, maybe this isn’t Superman. Maybe this is an illustration showing how bulls would design a piñata, if they had access to papier mache and possessed good small motor skills. Or maybe you can think of a better explanation of what’s going on here, and send it to us via Post a Comment.flying300.jpg
