another dispatch from tacky shopping nightmares

[threeplusfire]

For $200, I expect the zebra print to be on the front AND the back. This really doesn't look zebra-ish to me. More like someone drew some hurried lines in a rush to get the fabric out the door. But in the words of one happy customer, you will look "straight out of Rodeo Drive!"

Remember the bizarre furry handbag of doom? This scarf goes with it. I can't even think of some snarky slam for this - it is just too weird looking. I like fur, but this stuff is makes me think of a Project Runway challenge gone dreadfully wrong. This jacket is what Keith the Fringe Happy would have made and Tim Gunn would have frowned in that very distressed way.

If you don't like the fringe, you can always get lady-like rosettes of rabbit fur on your handbag. It comes in pink, to go with your furry vest. Though I prefer the purple. That poor model has an expression that cries out "Kill me now, please kill me now before I have to wear any more of these outfits."

For $200 I expect a garment called a "duster" to come with Spike modeling it in person.

For serious.

...do people really buy these things?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

They do! A lot! Why, I don't know.

I'm guessing she pronounced it ROdeo?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Heheh indeed! I can hear it with a bad midwestern accent.

Also, that last model has way too much grey hair and dignity to be wearing something so hideous. Get that woman a tweed jacket, stat!

I don't understand this store. Make it stop.

Isn't it scary? And people actually pay money for it! it makes me think I'm in the wrong line of work. I should make a terrifying clothing line or something.
