The results are in. I have learned that I am too old and cranky to model for a camera, not to mention changing outfits. Notice how these overalls make me look like I’m wearing jodhpurs. I look like a hippo. No matter how many times I am forced to whine that “I’m not fat in real life” god has decided to make me sound like a lying hippo.
Whosoever wants these overalls and wears a US 4 is welcome to them. They have little zips at the ankles, so being short might be a problem. Simply write a nice compliment about hippos and you win!
Here is what happened another time I tried to model.
Oh well. Next time I decide to model something, I will fucking well put on a girdle or truss or something.
On a brighter note, I just found out here that the FIT Museum is putting together an exhibit called “Dark Glamour”, devoted to the gothic in fashion. Thank you, Susan! This is all the excuse I need to plan a trip to New York.
AHHH it’s a bionic dog! Or else it has the light of god within it…shining out of its eyes.
Sister Wolf, I think they’re too big for you. Because on the model, the front panel is must lower and the pant legs are like skinny jeans.
You should run a haiku contest like Daddy Likely. Haha your comments will balloon to jodphur like proportions.
She’s right — they’re too big for you.
Honestly, I don’t think they look bad at all – but they may indeed be a little big…
My university’s mascot was a hippo. You are a lot nicer to look at than our hippo. If you still have the overalls and decide that this comment is worthy, I will take a picture of myself wearing them while riding the bronze statue of the hippo.
That look is pretty cool, but if it makes you feel like you look like a hippo, then you are well right in offering them to the nearest hippo jokester.
I like them on you.
They look gorgeous if you ask me. I think you should just wear them.
…and I’d like to know about those shoes you are wearing with the overalls.
You are a perfectly tiny little thing. I was hoping to take you to dinner and feed you some deep fried cheese cubes or something.
If you could add 14 to that size, I might just fit.
Okay, whose results are in? You have a very nice shape and you look good in those overalls/jodhpurs. And even better in the dress.
If you’ve not tried out every possible combination yet, hows about a crisp white blouse under the overalls and a brightly colored belt and see if that works any better.
perfect! I’ve just had my bustle steamed and picked up my mourning veil from the dry cleaners. Shall I meet you in NY?
I think you look great in the outfit – you should keep it!
I can’t believe that you’re not just being nice, Lindsey and Sonja and Enc and Susan. But I appreciate your niceness!
Miss Wombat, Toby Lynne amd K-line….maybe they are the wrong size. They certainly didn’t fit properly.
Suebob: We will eat, asap
Imelda: Let’s plan a date for NYC! I would love to see the exhibit with you.
You look great in the overalls! I kind of want them, but honestly, I think you should give them another try.
Now, I never complement hippos, I always tell them they’re fat, but I never say no to a pair of free overalls either. I think Copenhagen would be a happier place with me strutting around in them.
With that said, you do NOT look anything resembling fat in either the overalls or the dress. I might want to present a deeper argument or two about the matter but have learned by now that the I-look-fat talk with women is something one does not want to engage in. There’s no way for a man to win in that debate.
I think the dog could teach us a thing or two about posing and not giving a fuck about how we think we look in the pictures. Ever thought of selling him/her to consulting gigs?? There are dumber gurus around out there….
VJ – A friend emailed me first with her request to look like a hippo. I owe you one, okay?
azumi, you are very sweet to reassure me.
Juri, I see you are well-versed in the male-female dialogue. I like that about you. ANd you’re right, my dog is shameless!
no comment
Oh god, hoochiegucci, same to you!
That gray dress looks great on you. I’m serious. Maybe it needs a little tailoring, but it’s cool. You look good in gray. That said, can the overalls. Send them to the one who went to the college with the hippo mascot. I want to see the photo.
Mark, thank you, the grey dress is really nice. Take me somewhere good and I’ll wear it!
Go Pico Go!!!
