“All That’s Gold Ain’t Always Glitter”
Oct 3, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Fashion Police!, Ghetto Fab, Street Runway
EE-OO! EE-OO!
“Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Fashion police being dispatched to apprehend ludicrous color choices involving opqaue stockings and pumps! Calling all cars! Calling all cars!”
Uh. Mah. Gawd.
Don’t even get me started.
This is a major felony violation of fashion laws, with aggravated felony assault of 80’s fashion.
OK. The Irene Cara, dance-school-top-slouching-down-over-one-shoulder thing is kinda back. If that’s what you want to do, then technically…it’s…not – I can’t believe I’m even saying this – a…crime.
But black, opaque tights with GOLD, OPEN-TOED SHOES!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!
I was walking in the opposite direction when I spied this young lady sashaying past me, as if she were Princess Di herself, resurrected and given hips.
Do I even need to go into detail here as to how wrong this is? Do I need to talk about no TIGHTS with open-toed shoes or talk about the obvious color clash here?
Uh. Mah. Gawd.
한심하다. 휴.

Well, at least, she did get your attention?! lol
You are right, FMS. She should wear those open-toed shoes on her bare feet, not on black tights! Perhaps she had some ugly sunburn to cover up over those ugly black tights that night or something?
By the way, I’d love to model for this site. You know where to find me, FMS!
RCH(RedCarpetHeel)
She did - I think she was smoking! (Like a gun, not crack.)
And I do know where to find you – glad you liked the site.
Now we gotta get you up and ready to be writing. Keep offering us you feedback!
Thanks!
