When First Ladies Attack


This was in the front window of a rather posh (or aspiring to posh, at least) clothing store not far from my home.

I call this "Nancy Reagan's West Beverly Hills High School 1982 prom dress".

In case it's not clear, the dress is a shiny red sack in a mid-thigh length, ending in a rather coarse curtain-like wide hem.

It has gathered poofy shoulders AND cuffs, and those cuffs also have doubled inset cuffs in a shiny cerise. Because nothing goes together quite as stylishly as bright red and cerise.

If you're an Easter egg.

The designer also included a matching cerise bow/scarf/wrap that will conveninently allow the model to hang herself in shame.

On the plus side, any wearer can be very sure they will not be accidentally shot by deer hunters or struck by cars at a construction site.

You've always been funny. I hope someday soon you get paid for it.
