Can You Say UGGGGGLLLLLLYYYYY

One of my daily reads is the Washington Post. I have continued to read that newspaper since I worked in the DC area in the 80s. Being the main DC publication, you sometimes get a different slant on things.
Today the article that caught my eye was not the typical “What’s going on in the hub of democracy” article I normally read. It was an article about a fashion Soiree (as they called it) that had just completed in Paris.
Luckily, I don’t think any of these fashions (Click here to view them) will make it to Panama. I personally thought that overall, they were ugly enough to gag a maggot. And what has happened to the runway models? They were some of the least attractive women I have ever seen. There was an exception or two, but give me a break.
Also if the models are the shapes of tomorrow, all of you women that went out and had breast implants, need to schedule another operation to have them removed. I remember an old bawdy song in college that had a line in it “She used to let me nibble on her cupcakes. They had a raisin on each tip.” On some of the models I think the cupcake was completely gone and only the raisin remained.
Well, I think you get my impression of tomorrow’s fashions from Paris. I hate to think what those outfits are going to be priced at. Gag me with a spoon and call me country.
Models are supposed to be “clothes hangers” that are alive. And most look the part. I never saw much to admire in skeletal shapes because they reminded me of people who are starving to death. And, in the case of models, they are.
They sure didn;t do anything for me. (models or dresses).
