Some thoughts on a fashion show
Monday, April 6, 2009 at 5:44AM A local boutique clothing store, coincidentally the one that my friend Fashionista runs, held a fashion show recently to benefit summer school programs for autistic children. I'd never been to a fashion show, and it was a good cause, and oooh! fabulous clothes! ...so I went. Aren't you wondering what I thought?
Well, too bad and shut up.
1. It doesn't matter how dressed up you are, at a fashion show you're underdressed. I should have just cut my losses and worn sweatpants. I could have eaten more of those little cupcakes they're serving.
2. OMG, I love that bag.
3. OMG, that bag is SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.
4. OMG! They're raffling it off! Buy buy buy!
5. Yeah, serving wine was probably a sound business decision here.
6. Okay, I know that I actually KNOW those people in real life, but they're skinny and beautiful and wearing fabulous clothes so I HATE THEM.
7. If that shirt weren't being worn by someone tall and blonde and gorgeous (WHO I HATE), she would look like Mrs. Roper.
8. Why does men's fashion usually consist mostly of things actual men won't wear?
9. Oh, right. That's the case with women too.
10. Sitting here heckling the models with a group of friends is so high school. I LOVE IT.
11. Okay, I want that.
12. That too.
13. That is HOW MUCH? BwahhahhahhahHAHHAHAH!!! Okay, never mind. I could make several mortgage payments instead.
14. Oooh, more cupcakes!
15. Okay, I didn't win the bag. I can go home now.
16. After one more cupcake. Nom.

fist off, thanks for doing your part to benefit students with autism!
this was a funny post! my daughter was recently in a fashion show to benefit her school (for autistic students). i had many of the same thoughts!! but we didn't get cupcakes!! wth???
I have wondered...does anyone ever really wear that stuff? Great post, hey check out these calorie free cupcakes at http://sweetcuppincakesbakery.blogspot.com/2009/04/paper-cupcakes-yes-diy-paper-cupcakes.html.
Little cupcakes and fashion models to mock...sounds like heaven.
LOL@Heckling the models...loved this post
Ooh...cupcakes & poking fun at people skinnier than me? Sounds like my perfect day :)
cupcakes + wine = heckling skinny models. Yep, that works. LOL!
Sounds like good times
I want to go to the next one! You're going to need someone to roll your eyes with anyway.
Some of those Mrs. Roper shirts look so cute on models, and they just make me look pregnant. Not a look I want.
I have to agree with Ginny Marie.. just not a good look.
Really, it wasn't a good look on Mrs. Roper...and still isn't...even on skinny models. But what do they know?
You're better than me. I have no desire to ever go to a fashion show!
There's a couple of things that make me feel better about myself....I pick Cindy Crawford apart, always. I watch television in my widescreen so that all the skinnies on the tv look heavier than they actually are, always.
Fashion show....blah. They oughtta dress em all up and throw them in a mud pit, then make em wrestle. I'd watch that ;)
Sorry, lost me at cupcakes but I'm sure you had a good cupcake at the cupcake and bought some great cupcakes.
Damn you, HASAY! You're interfering with my comments!
I haven't been to a fashion show in a while. The last one was at a local hotel and was a bridal show. The brides were like 18, tall, blond....I couldn't relate so I just sighed a lot and ate cake. Ya' know, so I would be an even fatter bride when the time came.
Oooh! Cupcakes! Sorry you didn't win the bag, that would've been cool. At least you had wine, cupcakes and got to heckle models. Sounds like a great night.
One more reason to anticipate the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse.
No more skinny *itches to hate!
They'll be dead.
Dead is good.
No?
I need to go have a diet dr. pepper! Sorry I'm not in my right mind until I have one!
heh heh
Sorry you didn't win the bag. That would have been fantabulous! Glad you had fun heckling the models... what else would you have been doing on an afternoon?
Good for you for supporting such a great cause. I've never been to a fashion show before either, and if I ever do have the opportunity to attend I'll be sure to check in advance to make sure there are lots of tiny cupcakes and, of course, wine :)
For cupcakes and wine I might go to a fashion show. Change it to beer and pizza and I will be front row.
that sounds very sophisticated and classy. except for the heckling part. that just sounds awesome.
We lift them up, we tear them down.
Dammit, I want a cupcake now!
I do agree, most men's fashion is something that very guy I know would not be caught dead wearing. They would totally bite you and turn you into a zombie too, if you dressed them in that crap before they got infected.
OMG, thanks for the laugh!!!
i wish i could have seen it in person!
sounds like self inflicted pain
Oh, I am such a SUCKER for the Mrs. Roper tops. They look so great on the skinnies, and they get me every time, and then one day weeks later I see a photo of myself wearing it, and I want to slap myself upside the head.
