People always say Comme des Garcons is clownish, but I love 91% of it. If they ever say it’s mime-ish, I might not like it ever again.

OMG, that kid story is TOO funny! Probably not at the time, or maybe never to you, but I laughed out loud. If it makes you feel any better, some brat once told me I was wearing too much lipstick.

I sound really mean compared to everyone else!

You are all much more imaginative than I am. A really beautiful girl could wear either of these things. Tobi Lynne could definitely pull off that horrible KW shirt.

But to my eyes, ugh, no. I am hereby adopting the motto of Gustave Flaubert: severe mais juste. I might even tattoo it on my bicep.

I think young Audrey could pull the first one off. The second one, I like. But it makes me think “Jockey” more than clown.

p.s. Lady K, I totally forgot about Claire Grogan’s huge hairbows! Thanks for the memories!

Whoa! Those are funny! And how great is your story. The best stuff happens at the grocery store. My kid was terrified of mimes. She absolutely froze in her tracks and refused to budge if she saw one. Do you know how many mimes are out there just to freak out kids and ruin vacations and outings? countless…..

I like the second one, too. With a pair of skinny jeans, my chucks, and some ginormous sunglasses. But I’m really pretty freaked out by the first one.

The first one looks like a bad fast food uniform.

I like the first one, is that wrong? I have a thing about oversized bows, always have done ever since Altered Images (twee jangly 80’s Scottish band) lead singer wore them in her hair. The bigger the better!!

I kinda like the second one — it makes me think of Pierrots from Italian theater. Geekily yours, Melissa

Everybody hates a clown.

I think this diamond pattern may be an attempt to “reinterpret” Argyle. Like we needed that.

The bow? Those clowns can cram it!
