October 21, 2004 Caught in a Fashion Faux-Pas VI
As always, to protect the identity of the victim, we never show their face. 1. Golly gee, where shall we start? I dunno, maybe the BLUE HAIR. Why am I getting the sudden urge to start reciting my letters and my numbers and eat cookies? Could it possibly be the fact that I am reminded of a certain Sesame Street character? The Cookie Monster is the only one who is allowed to sport Colbalt Blue fur. Really folks, I've yet to see blue hair done tastefully. Email me a picture to prove me otherwise. 2. The Tights Perhaps this picture doesn't do the tights justice, but if you look closely, they are imprinted with guns. Yes, guns as in 1911 as in Smith & Wesson, Charlton Heston guns. NEVER, I repeat never is weaponry design on tights an acceptable thing. Shirts with pictures of guns on them are fine. So are hats, jerseys, sweatshirts, and even wristbands. You can even dress up like a gun and go running through the streets, but under no circumstances is it alright to wear gun-printed tights. Bad. No no no. 3. The Boots Seeing that this dear woman is holding a child, I think the phrase "Yo' Mamma Wears Combat Boots" is entirely appropriate. This picture wasn't taken in Mohabi Desert or the wilderness, it was taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a city without a base camp. Combat boots are not required. In fact, they're not even pretty. Until next time, my camera shall be on the prowl. Past Fashion Faux-Pas: Comments Posted by: Jeff the Baptist at October 21, 2004 6:22 AM I am so hoping that's a hot pink hat on the little girl she's carrying. Making yourself look like a fool is one thing, inflicting it on someone else is punishable! JP Posted by: JP at October 21, 2004 7:27 AM JP - Tell that to all those parents who let their kids grow out mullets. I know too many people who have pictures of themselves as a kid with a mullet. On the other hand my mom used to let me walk out of the house with a yellow shirt and purple pants. Yikes! Posted by: spencer at October 21, 2004 7:32 AM Worst. outfit. ever! There is just something about people who dye their hair loud and crazy colors. Why not just carry a sign??? Pay Attention to ME. Posted by: Donna Boucher at October 21, 2004 9:16 AM Yeah...I saw her right after I saw this other...uhhh...more attractive woman. I thought I was gonna bump my head, laffin. And yes, the baby has on a pink coat with the hood up. The child might be dressed a little loud, but she's at least in bounds. She looks like Rainbow Brite. The mama on the other hand...Ambra didn't even mention the fact that old girl has on a mini-skirt with that. Now this is just my amateur male self talkin, but I'm thinking that as boots go with a miniskirt, go-go boots are one thing; combat boots are something altogether different. But that's just me guessing. Posted by: avery at October 21, 2004 9:35 AM I was wondering when this would show up. (I was with Ave when he took the pic--we, well I at least, almost peed from laughing.) But, well, that's South Street for ya, on a Friday night. Posted by: Janae at October 22, 2004 8:09 PM |

It's that time again. In my constant quest to rid the world of frumpiness and lack of good judgment (by the way did you know that word is spelled two ways? 'Judgement' or 'Judgment' are both permissible?), I bring you the Fashion Faux-Pas of the month. For this snapshot, I cannot claim royalties as it wasn't me; it was the one-armed man, fellow Conservative Brotherhood member,

Woo hoo go Philly! Seen "Everlasting Sunshine on the Spotless Mind"? Kate Winslet goes through parts of the movie with bright blue hair like that. Not that it looks good on her or anything. She sports tangerine hair and other neon clothing in it as well. I'm sure there is enough stuff there for a year of fashion-faux-pases.
My Girl made me watch it. Not bad, but not as good as a lot of people say it is. She didn't enjoy it as much as her friends said she would either.
