A reminder- this is Ready to Wear- not couture. My rule has always been to showcase what the designers are showing as their meat and potatoes. I now give you those potatoes…..
Oh crap! She saw a mouse! 
Who thinks the Clinique salesgirls take themselves too seriously? 
I think her coat needs a hairnet more than she does.
Interview outfit- nailed it!
Rhonda soon regretted her piñata costume choice for the Cinco de mayo party at the local biker bar.
Iron Man Lingerie – it’s a thing.
Looking for a fun craft project for all your mismatched socks? No, me neither.
Fiona loved dating a radiologist, but his gifts were a little on the nose….
I’m not sure how jaded you have to be if you can fail to look up when a giantsummer camp pot holder strolls past you at fashion week.
The entire front row had a seizure as Marla went by. It was a very stylish seizure according to witnesses.
Ok Brenda, we get it- you LOVE fleet week!?

The last one is a total bummer, but I have to say, the first two and a few others are quite appealing. Especially the first two which reference the big goddesses of prehistory. But then, I always look at a designer’s choices for footwear in terms of how they really feel about women….these are bum awful, so, strange twisted, somewhat appealing effort. Ready to Wear? I think you got the wrong show.

The audience is madly texting – probably not “what a load of junk” though – except for the Fleet Street costume which I think might be quite popular in certain bars during Fleet Week – why do they dress women like this?

Have you ever seen the movie Weird Science? The character played by Bill Paxton turns into a brown thing that looks eerily like the top two images.
Comparing this to potatoes is an insult to potatoes–what did they ever do to you?! This is left-on-the-highway-for-a-week fashion roadkill.

In one of the Great British Sewing Bee finals, one of the guys made a “skanklet”…a skirt-like creation with ankle things suspended on boned strips. The judges absolutely fried him; but now he should maybe sue for copyright infringement, further to that interview-outfit above!

This just brightened my entire day!! My jaw fell open after that first photo, and stayed that way until the end. The “Potholder” one reminds me of the shape of an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, if one were made out of those balloons people use to make shapes and animals. I think I’d rather save up for a solid gold sarcophagus if I had to choose! (Added bonus: I would be dead inside it, so would feel no shame.) 😉

Ok… I’ve had gastric bypass and have some of the saggy thing going so I understand and I’m not being cruel to people with that issue but damn! those first couple of pictures remind me of the before pics of people who have lost several hundred pounds and are having skin removal surgeries. I don’t think ANYTHING could be less flattering and unattractive on a woman’s body than these things they are calling designs. Let’s see a mans design like this with certain private parts sagging in hanging lumps to their knees.
