Fashion is Dumb: French Fashionista Friday Filler

I was instructed by Wheelhouse Jerome to write a blog post today, while at the same time being informed by the tiny dictator that filler was needed. Jer, I will have to get back to the Top Turkish Basketball Players of All Time post...a "Fashion is Dumb" link that simply cannot be passed up just floated by me on the tubes of the internet.

It was apparently Fashion Week in Paris over the past few days, and here are just a few of the atrocious gems culled from the photo gallery. My god are these awful.

Apparently the beekeeper look is in.
This purse seems practical.
Hold up...is that Annie Lennox? Or David Bowie?
Oh COME ON
I urge you to view the entire gallery - it is a shitshow of epic proportions.

When you have a moment, please go read the absolute woodshedding Drew Magary laid on Michael Wilbon today on Deadspin. Oh my.

This looks like last night's Project Runway! It was the avant garde episode.

Dave said...

i do love that purse (and the female holding it).

T.J. said...

That purse is a Journey "Wheel in the Sky" special.

Teej is now direct emailing me when these posts go up. That's how much I enjoy mocking fashion. Because I am a slovenly pig.

T.J. said...

Jerry's writing his post in the comments...love it.

Clarence said...

In your defense, most pigs are slovenly. Pigs are filthy animals. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

Clarence said...

Turkish was also a character in Snatch. Which is what I aspired to be in college.

Mark said...

I'm leaving for a weekend in Gainesville with about a half dozen of my friends from college. So there's a very high probability that I'll be drunk just about any time I comment from now until Sunday morning. Fair warning.

Here's to the end of Chipper Jones' career, which I am hoping happens tonight.

Top 10 Chippers

#1 Chipper Jones

Chipper, the RCA dog

Clarence said...

Chipper Tell, wisecracking oaf, doctor of psychology, and chain smoking Pi Lam from the late 1980's.

Clarence said...

And Teej, that is such an obvious Google submission that you should smack yourself in the face. I'll hang up and wait for you to do that.

Clarence said...

Also, the wood chipper from Fargo.

T.J. said...

You needed Google for Chipper the RCA dog? Sad. Obviously you didn't have the joy of passing an oversized RCA billboard just outside of downtown Albany almost every day of your youth.

Clarence said...

I did just Google it. Nipper was the RCA dog. Chipper was his son, who appeared in some ads. That's so random and obscure, nobody in their right mind would possibly have thought of it when Top 10 Chippers came up... i.e., I stand corrected, Teej, and I apologize for insulting you. I should not doubt the strange tidbits that inhabit your grey matter.

T.J. said...

Actually, it's just plain old sad that's the shit I remember.

T.J. said...

And yes, Nipper is the famous RCA dog...but apparently your parents feel compelled to tell you Nipper has a son named Chipper when you won't shut the fuck up in the back of a car about the huge dog on top of a building.

zman said...

I go out for a long lunch and Clarence steals my woodchipper/Fargo comment. I have nothing else to add about chippers. Chris Farley was funny when he pretended to be a Chippendale's dancer, but someone commented about that already too.

zman said...

In other news, I'm taking the Bills to win at SF on Sunday. Straight up.

Rob, is not going to be happy about this webpage:

Who's watching this Braves game?
I know very little about baseball rules, but this call is redic. Do they have instant replay in baseball?

Clarence said...

These replacement umps are terrible. They gotta bring the real guys back.

mayhugh said...

My gut feeling was that the Nats were toast regardless of whether they faced the Bravos or St. Louis - both of them are much hotter than Washington at the moment.

But my gut is also very hungry...

rob said...

that was a turrrrrrrible call.
