High fashion?

There are some days when I wish Clint and Stacy from "What Not to Wear" would show up on my front door to tell me how fashion-challenged I am and give me that Visa with $5,000 on it for a brand new wardrobe. I think I might even relinquish my A-Rod Rangers jersey and my Emmitt Smith Cowboys jersey in exchange for the improvements. And, that would be a GIGANTIC sacrifice for me.

But, then, I see "outfits" like this one and decide that my soccer mom/SAHM wardrobe is just fine. The caption for this photo: a model presents an ensemble by Spanish fashion designer Jose Castro during the presentation of his Spring/Summer 2008 Ready to Wear collection, in Paris, Saturday Oct. 6.

Ready to wear? You gotta be effin' kidding me. Ready to wear? WTF? Who would wear this? It looks like a pouf I have in the bathroom that I used to rub soap on my back while bathing. Or it looks like the wad of tissues Hot Rod makes when he has a runny nose. I suppose it could be one of those tissue paper roses on sticks that you can get at Mexican carnivals. And, I don't even know where to start with that hairstyle. It looks like a knob on an old video game or a black baby bottle nipple. The make up looks like what Stinkerbelle does with her play make-up. *shaking my head* Ready to wear. Uh, I don't think so.
