Erica reluctantly agreed to let her newly divorced Mom chaperone the class trip to Biltmore. 
‘Mom- the bus driver is telling everyone that you forgot your panties!?’
‘No, I do NOT know if Coach Fredricks is dating anyone!’
‘Mom! Please! The docents are staring!’
‘Mom! Come down from there! They already have a topless statue in the library!?’
‘Did you bring a portable fan??? Moooooooom! Your nipples!?’
‘No. They do NOT need more parents for the overnight ski trip!’

Pretty Grievances 
Well I can enjoy the ’70s glam vibe, and I personally love excessive make up…but I find myself wishing I could see what the garments might look like without the slut poses and excessive inner thigh…

Yes! A catwalk really is a good thing- the clothing in natural motion is easier to decipher!

….and the shoes are clearly meant for pole dancing, not for real humans to walk in.

I was so fascinated by the poses I quite forgot to look at the clothes. Had to go back for a second look.

The poses sort of overwhelm the event.

I have to agree with what everyone else has already said. I have no idea if I like the clothes are not. The poses are too distracting. I’m pretty sure I like some of the fabrics though.

The first and third dresses are killer! Love all those pink buttonholes on black! The white dress would surely give you an interesting side seam tan!

I want to see both dresses standing still with no styling- the KitKat club vibe is hard for me to see the details thru.

The clothes could be worth a second look if only I could unsee the hello-boys poses.

This IS a (slightly) older model, right? It’s not just the makeup and hair making her seem that way? Then in That respect… bravo, but then I become confused as to whether I want to applaud the slightly older gal being sexy or wonder why she Has to be sexy to be “lovely” or wonder if being older has much to do with how tawdry she looks… etc. There’s more confusing here than the whole pose/ clothes distractions.

I wonder if this is a model/muse or muse/mom kind of thing. She’s giving off a Lili Von Shtupp vibe.

I’m wondering if the poses reflect the way the designer REALLY feels about women.

Is the designer hoping to be the costumer designer for the new version of Dynasty? Or maybe stylist for Housewives of —?

These are all fantabulous! And, I love this woman. And, all the things she is doing and being. I wish she was my mom. Wait, no. I wish she was me. Except that I would trip and fall 3 seconds in sporting any one of those pairs of shoes. What, are they 7 inches tall?

Poor Erica, but she will have plenty to discuss with her therapist in later years. I am fascinated by the pink button holes – some are vertical and some are horizontal, so interesting. And I do think it looks like a fun museum tour.
