Earlier this week I did an item about a hot new fashion trend, dresses that leave one you-know-what exposed, so a woman has to cover it with her hand. I pointed out many flaws in this design, like if you’re left-handed it’s hard to take notes in algebra class and stuff like that.
But some readers were like, “Bob, that’s just one dress, it’s not a trend, so shut up.”
Well skeptics, you heard it here first. Behold a similar creation from a fashion show yesterday, in MIAMI! Unless this model is just wearing her dress backwards, the trend has arrived on our shores and we have to accept it.
Women, I guess it’s time to get out ahead of the curve, so to speak, and start practicing. Take one of your old dresses and some scissors, do your own design, and wear it out to a restaurant this weekend. If anybody objects, send them to my blog.
Great new fashion! If we could match this with a two handed handshake, when meeting people life would be grand !

You know…some little tassles or pasties would probably make a little more sense….

Be careful what you wish for. If you think all women have nice little breasts like models you are sadly mistaken. Some breasts are creepy to look at and it’s a good thing they remain covered.

I believe female athletes in the ancient Greek Olympics competed with one breast exposed. Been there. Done that.

Women didn’t compete in the ancient Greek Olympics, nor were they allowed to watch since men competed in the nude. However, the Amazons in Greek mythology were a tribe of warrior women who removed one of their breasts so that it would be easier for them to throw spears.

Not to throw spears, even though it is a close call, but to use their bow. Sword wielding is easier as well without these… burdens, in a way.

The Amazons used bows, not spears. Their right breast obstucted the bowstring when they fired, so they cut it off (the breast, not the bowstring).
All in all, a stupid fashion.

it is a little sad that designers should resort to this underhanded sleight of hand to garner a little slither of fame for themselves and their dark little worlds’.
but the greatest misjustice is the insult to the gorgeous models who have to put up with the peevish, whimsical nature of said DESIGNER, just to earn a few greenbacks and maintain a little continuity of work.
guessing designer males’ come and go, but beautiful, intelligent women are here to stay; more power to them…
Totally agree! A leather jacket is a great way to add some edge and practicality to those daring dresses. For anyone looking for stylish options, check out www.leatherjacket.co.nz. It’s all about finding that perfect blend of comfort and fashion, especially when trying to focus in algebra class!
Fashion models just hanging out?
