Kristi:
"This came up under the moniker of ‘ugly prom dress of the day’ on the Fashion Police website…
"I think it’s the fact that the shades of pink do not match; if this was more of a pastel, and the same shade on all parts,
it would be very cute. I mean, it’s not really that bad unless, I guess, you are a teen trying too hard to impress your peers."Here’s another caption from the website about the dress: Pink! It totally makes the boys wink, you know!
Makes ‘em vomit, too, if you’re not careful…"It just cracked me up this morning…"
An interesting perspective from Kristi:"A few years ago King Tut’s treasures came to the Field Museum; tours were in groups. It was pretty crowded, and I soon got tired of trying to get a view. So I decided to look at the rear of the relics. Now, I’m always thinking of alternatives - but this was a true winner. I could have done a theme article on it. Not only did I have no competition for viewing, I saw aspects none of the people on the tour did. Even in photos - you always see the front. But I saw nails, knots of sinews tied to make the seat - this was the actual visible record of how these ancients made these relics. So I had a wonderful affirmation of the idea that looking at the backs of things reveals the real beauty - the fastenings, the attachments.
"In this photo, you cannot see the back of the model, but underneath the bolero you can imagine the gown snuggled up against the concave small of her back. Although the waist of the bolero is loose, you can see a slight snugness across the shoulders-imagine the tug of the fabric as she moves her arms…
"While I always appreciate the convex body parts, the concave of the small of the back, the back of the knee, back of the neck and small of the throat, etc. is always more enticing to me. It is the Yin - the valley spirit- absolutely adorable. Plus, you cannot go wrong with a silvery satin…"
Otto from Holland:
"I found an interesting site;
a lot of pictures of a very, very bouffant dress."
