MEDUSA DRESS Two words for the fashions this season: ug ley. Really. Two words. Derived from the less emphatic "ugly," "ug ley" should be reserved for the truly hideous. If your like me and looking for that perfect dress for a summer family wedding, you're shit out of luck. From what I experienced on Saturday, every dress is some unfortunate combination of the following: ruffles and/or bows and/or ribbon sash animal and/or primitive print in a palette of excremental colours coarsely woven cotton fabric possibly with wide bands of cotton lace contrasting embroidered decorations (flowers, leaves, birds, butterflies) puckered, unfinished fraying seams (think inside out) If you're very unlucky, you'll be blinded by the arrangement of all of the previous in one dress. It will be very short, with an empire waist. Britney Spears short. The kind of short where you can't bend over to retrieve anything. If you travel with an entourage this might be doable, but I'm not that kind of girl. I can't tell if we're supposed to be preparing for bit parts in Planet of the Apes or living someone's idea of what the 80s looked like. Given that I've already professed to being a dinosaur, I'm quite comfortable in confessing that the 80s weren't that ugly. Granted, they were ugly, but the were never ug ley. 05/15/2006 « previous next »
