I Rest My Case


Remember this from my post about the movie The Devil Wears Prada:
What she left out, no doubt due to her own cluelessness, were the prayers of the proles who page through Vogue in the dentist’s office, hoping that what we’ll find invading the racks in “our stores” in a year or two will be anything at all that’s comfortable and wearable, as in made of fabrics that don’t make us squirm with itchiness or cuts that don’t bind at our generous hips.

This is an actual picture MSN ran for an article about a recent fashion show in Paris, Milan, or one of those fashion Meccas. What in the world might trickle down from this little number? Ha! Although there are days in teaching where the blinder effect pictured here might come in handy, and it definitely wouldn't bind at the hip.
