    where’s the pea soup green projectile vomit? Welp, when I saw that “Your eyes are a little wonky but you’re getting closer…” pic I did wonder about possession.

    Umm… was I the only one who at first wondered if those two in the post pic were maybe engaged in some private act?

    If Banks tightens up the bra strap any more, her boobs will block her ears up. I could never stand the Victoria’s models. They may in reality be nice people, but the jerks who photograph them must hate women, because most of the time the models look like they want to pick a fight, or are totally bored, or hate your guts, all of which makes them unappealing. Unless you’re a man-hating high maintenance bitch, of course.

    @dick, not quite dead white guy:

    the fashion industry is run by bitter dried up old hags*, and gay men

    is it any wonder female models look like they do?

    *is that too harsh?

    Dick (3): most of the time the models look like they want to pick a fight, or are totally bored, or hate your guts

    As I understand it, there is a theory out there that men (or some of them anyway…such as a good many who might be persuaded to buy things at Victoria’s Secret) have an easily evoked urge to subdue women, and that the kind of look you’ve noticed is the look that will trigger that urge…. so the models are actually being persuasive, to a certain demographic.

    Of course, if you don’t experiance the urge, it would be natural for you to find it repelling.

    There might be a “bitch is power” feeling that the look triggers in some women as well, but of course I would know nothing about that.

    PS: Although I don’t find them hot anyhow, neither DWS nor NP appear able to produce “the look.”

    ^ perhaps I should have said “dominate women” rather than “subdue women,” but surely that is a nit.

    No nits from me. I never could understand womens “fashion” marketing since I first saw the skinny artists’ renderings with pinheads in the Thursday newspapers and the national magazines of the 50′s.. Most of the time, neither the clothing featured nor the people involved were worth a second look, nevermind money.
    Except for Today’s Haute Couture WTF. That’s worth a look for laffs.

    Is this a trailer for the Exorcist remake?

    Y’know Dick, it has just now occurred to me to wonder if high-fashion designer garments are meant to be entertainment in sort of the same way that certain over-the-top movies (e.g. Airplane, Scary Movie, The Fantastic Four, The Last Action Hero) are entertainment.

    By that I mean that there isn’t supposed to be anything realistic, practical or even attractive about the them: outlandish absurdity is the appeal. When I watch a Hong Kong wire-fu movie, I’m not expecting to see anything realistic; the very over-the-topness is the art form.

    OBTW: a long time ago I had a wonderful friend who looked *a lot* like Kathy Ireland, except that her features were a little stronger and more distinctive. Since I thought Kathy Ireland looked pretty weird (mostly the bone structure of her head and face, I think), then it was kind of like having a strange-looking friend. I liked her a lot, but not exactly for her looks. I don’t suppose K.I. has that awful drugged and starved runway model look (my friend sure didn’t), but still…. well, anyway I liked my friend, even if she did look strange to me. There’s more to people than their looks.

    Roger that absolutemente!
    But the fashionistas are selling looks or “a look” and it ain’t pretty for the most part. I’m a Luddite and a stick in the mud, I guess. Land’s End is nice looking clothes for me, but – their quality has slipped in recent years.

    Well, check out this the not-so-classic styling of this amazing garment, which damn near qualifies by itself as a Celebrity WTF:

    Having offered this evidence, I rest my case that fashion is really just a form of over-the-top entertainment. I suppose what goes with it (among the beautiful people of course), is absurdity oneupmanship* where each fashion wearer strives to appear more outrageous than the last; although in many cases it is less that they appear outrageous as it is that they appear absurd.

    * Oneuppersonship? God forbid that I be politically incorrect, much less fail at gender neutrality.

    Land’s End: in recent years I have taken to cargo pants and dragon t-shirts.

    (well, okay also t-shirts featuring Willie Nelson, velociraptors, scantily dressed fairies, a wicked fiery horse bursting straight out of hell, Betty Boop,* the taco dog, and Microsoft product rollouts)

    * I also have one of Betty Page, but I don’t wear it out much. It is entertaining to watch women trying to surreptitiously examine my chest (where she lounges) without appearing to do so; with, I suppose, about the same success in subtlety as when men try to unobtrusively examine women’s chests. Interesting to know what that looks like on the other end of things.

    ^ oh yeah, I forgot the Batman t-shirts and the T-Rex.

    I also keep a set of black Levi’s and better quality neutral pull-over clean for more formal occasions.

    I kinda like the bondage vibe Ms von Tease is putting out.

    ^ Spin: well it is Ms von Tease….

    I suppose she’s as much in the over-the-top entertainment category as her garment.

    Aside: I was amused to know that Dita Von Teese was born Heather Renée Sweet. Apparently her parents misnamed her. ;-)
