summer is winding down and fall is upon us. the light is changing, the air is cooling down and autumn shEW!z are surfacing (see the crugg below and the tweed shrimp and biscuit bootie above). with the change of season i am happy to bring you a few more words to add to your "bad fashion" vernacular. when fashiON becomes fashiOFF:
blOUCH!= an unattractive blouse or shirt (can also be called a "S"top!)
gOW!n= an ugly dress or smock, the
tEW!nic falls in this category
trOW!ser= a pair of bad pants
ponchOHNO!= a stressful poncho (tom came up with this one)
NO!verall= inspired by the ponchOHNO! and basically speaks for itself
skHURT= a painful skirt (can also be applied for the tops classification in the form of a sHURT but we like bLOUCH! better)
clUGH!tch*= an unsightly purse....(can also be called a
handBAD depending on its size/function)
*when pronounced outloud this is not to be confused with the CL-heughhh!-tch which is a favorable way of calling out a tough and sexy clutch...i.e. one coodz might carry. next time you speak with tom have him provide you with an example, he's good
in doing some research i came across a few choice examples of the rare hybrid of the above offences:
an embellished trOW!ser+handBAD (my friend autumn likes to call this the "vagina purse")
and in some cases it is also referred to as a "denim bootie bag"....
if i didn't know better i would have pictured a jeanpurse in the form of a small boot which i could not find an example of, but i did come across this gem:
shEW! + clUGH!tch (i can't tell if it is a pump or a bootie but in any case it's so gloriously awful!):
anyone who knows me knows that i like my leica. i leic it a lot. i am pretty sure one or two of you (shmoops and bill "z") will appreciate this piece on the history of the brand...
one of my favorite things to read is a weekly column called living with music...it's part of the new york times book blog "paper cuts" and is a playlist written by a different author/literary personality each week.
and speaking of living with music...rogue wave's new album came out yesterday on brushfire where you can see the new video for "lake michigan"...support your dear friend g.le.b and go pick up a copy or two.
poor lou looked like this for the last week and a half...even though it broke my heart to see how miserable she was, i still made her pose for pictures. she is now cone-less and happy.
