In beginning my frivolous look at Fall 2009 menswear, can I get an amen for the life-sized fashion models?

AMEN for Fisher, he's scorching!

I have the Bubble Butt of Doom myself, but those high waists?

Not kind to my Rubenesque figure!

I kind of see stevedore/Italian immigrant dockworker in these a bit!

These lines are kind of pinched at the waist to emphasize the shoulders, yes, but it’s not a bad look for the bigger boys. I’m more concerned about the tailoring to the thighs, really, but those are turning out not to be such a problem area for me lately. I think if worse comes to worst, a pair of bike shorts could provide just enough of a pinch to make the look work in the most extreme cases, but if they’re actually having to make these particular models thicker at the waistline, I think there’s hope for us all.

I will personally blow John Bartlett for these clothes. Well, I’d probably just blow John Bartlett, period, but I’m slutty that way.

I will have to try on something higher-waisted then!

*scared*

But if the Grand Diva says it, it must be so!

He should unbutton the top button of his shirt. Yumz!. Some of those are actually fairly nice.

What’s with the half-measure?

The Bartlett collection models look as if they raided Tom Waits's closet (or bedroom floor)...and laundered and ironed the clothes...also, they took a shower before wearing the clothes.

I think Tom Waits is just cheap. And stinky.

I never really thought of Tom Waits as hobo chic, though.

He's the male Rickie Lee Jones!

Isn’t the female Rickie Lee Jones enough? Think what might have happened if they reproduced?

But the music would have been lyrically deep…

wasn't bartlett the designer we went yum over a few seasons ago for putting daddy bears with beards on the runway in brown leathers?

grandiva1968 February 19 2009, 05:19:32 UTC

Yes. I was hoping you’d catch that.

Seems that Bartlett likes the big guys for fall and the skinny boys for spring.

was it you who posted the tandi iman dupree video at me? I just saw it on facebook where she swoops down as wonder woman from the ceiling doing I need a hero.
One of the facebookers put RIP. I guess she died?

I didn't/don't know Tandi Iman Dupree. I knew Tandi Andrews, I know of Tamisha Iman, and I know of quite a few Dupree girls, though. I'm very old for the drag queens out there today.
