Why I Just Don't Get "Fashion"So, okay, the stuff on the runways is always "couture" and that means that nobody's supposed to actually wear it, unless you're Cher and you're stoned out of your mind on peyote. The stuff they don't show on the runways is called "ready-to-wear," which is a little strange thing to be calling clothes -- I mean, one would hope the "ready-to-wear" aspect is sort of implied; I usually don't expect the need to buy batteries from Radio Shack for my swearters, nor do I expect my pants to come with an Allen wrench and "some assembly required" directions in Swedish -- and this ready-to-wear stuff are the clothes they actually want you to buy and which will actually be available in stores, but these clothes they don't show on the runway. They're a secret or something. On the other hand, they show outfits like this on the runway. Now, seriously. What is that? Can someone explain that to me? What is the point here? Is that supposed to be promoting the designer, rather than his clothes? In what way? Who looks at that and says, "Ah yes, very fashion forward; this guy definitely knows how to dress someone up like a poodle. I'll be on the look-out for this guy's hand-bags." This is one of the things I don't get. posted by Ace at 05:33 PM
CommentsIt's very Andy Kaufmann too..... Can I make a guest appearance on the show sometime? My long term memory sorta sucks, so I'd be great for a "remember tha last commercial break?" segment. Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on December 17, 2004 05:43 PM

These fashions are edgy, sir. Damn your impudence! Posted by: Guy T. on December 17, 2004 08:56 PM
I briefly dated a girl who did fashion shows in Italy. She was 5'11" and like 100 lbs (seriously). She said they would get $5000/night and they would be doing them for ONE FUCKING PERSON. Crazy shit. I guess they were a bitch to do because she said she hated it. So I think the deal is they sell the runway stuff to very high-end customers at prices where profit margin on material cost really doesn't enter into the equation.

I can only guess that John and Te-ray-za were in the audience for this one... The outfit certainly seems Kerry-inspired. Posted by: jmflynny on December 17, 2004 10:10 PM
The fellow is quite a looker, but God knows why he looks like a poodle. I think it's a statement. . . Posted by: Justin on December 17, 2004 11:18 PM

Ace, you fool, it is meant to be art. -in other words, the medium has been hijacked by talentless poseurs. Which is why non-phony citizens like you don't 'get it.' *sniff* Posted by: lauraw on December 18, 2004 08:48 PM
I guess I can't use my standard assumption, that the designer hates women: this designer must hate everybody, especially his audience. Posted by: John Anderson on December 19, 2004 09:47 AM
I'm going with conspiracy against the lower classes for 100 on this one Ace. I mean what will women aspire to if we could actually afford this kind of crap. If we could buy it we wouldn't want it, since we can't, we want it. This keeps the richies in power and the rest of us minions who can't afford this shit.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.

That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
