There are days I adore
Theodore Roethke.
Donut testing with
fritters. (To that end, she made the 'kitten rawr' icon you see on this entry--go to her journal, there's a link there to her LJ icon site--go play! Adopt much! Let her know! (Which reminds me, I need to drop a comment off on her journal...)
More fun with John Barrowman.
On the English
Weakest Link, they call her Mistress? Wau, there's just no misunderstanding what she does there. Hee.
And FASHIONS!
I don't care who you are or how 'edgy' you think you're being--this is just unflattering, and women in general don't want to pull on something this expensive and have it hang, all baggy and assymetrical, off their bodies.

Is it just me? She looks scary. She looks like she's just back from crawling through the Goodwill bins; her dress doesn't quite fit, there's something wrong with her face, her bag is about to fall apart and her shoes look too big for her.

I'm fairly convinced she's wearing a wig, but I have known two women with hair that long, and both of them ended up having to have people help them care for and brush out the hair. I know when my hair was only half that long, braided, I had a hell of a time keeping it untangled.
But forget the hair. Let's talk about how it looks like the pattern on the t-shirt is inspired by a shooting gallery poster. Let's talk the weird makeup. Let's talk about, what the hell is up with those weird squared off BOOTS?!?

I don't care what your superpowers are, honey--you cannot solve crime without an attitude change. Being cranky with crime is just not going to cut it.
And put on some pants!

Dress: horrific. Bangle necklace: baffling. Hose: do not match the dress, but do match the makeup (adding points for weird). Makeup: ALL OVER HER FACE. Shoes: don't match anything but the weird mud pack, or brown swimcap, on her HEAD...
Dear gods, make the hurting STOP...

SO...wearing the dress of mesh and strips of old bedsheet; weird carved balsa-wood shoes; oddly painted corset (or, dear gods, even worse, the high school metal class' final project); and if you look carefully? Her lips are drawn in askew.
Was Westwood on drugs when she planned this show? Like, seriously brain-altering chemicals of some kind? Did she have brain parasites? Something has to rationally explain this.
