Well, it turns out WWD didn’t think I was a hot pussy in my vintage Patrick Kelly dress! I never expected the average person to appreciate that drag-a-licious gown, but being on a “Disaster Area” page next to Susan Sarandon exceeded my wildest hopes and dreams.
(That WAS a very tight dress and not a catsuit, even though it looks like the latter in the photo.)
I think Patrick Kelly would have been proud.
This reminds me that I’ve been meaning to post this photo of Penelope Tree in a slashed-all-over black gown with exposed panties.
A recent issue of Vogue ran a photo of the Penelope Tree dress and bemoaned the fact that no one wears anything daring like this to big events anymore. I laughed out loud when I read that. We all know they’d put a bitch’s ass on the fashion police page for wearing this dress! That’s why no one “goes there.” Susan Sarandon and I are going to get together and discuss this hypocrisy over drinks. Just as soon as she calls me. I’m waiting by the phone right now.
UPDATED TO ADD: Here’s another photo of my outfit to show that it’s really a dress, not a unitard!
I am going to take the big ’80s shoulder pads out before I wear it again. I was going to do it that night but I was in a rush and thought that if I did shoulder-pad surgery while I was in such a hurry, I might hurt the dress. Oh yes, you read that right. I’ll definitely wear this one again.

how funny. all these comments make me laugh. I don’t pay any attention to so called ‘disaster’ fashion comments by so called fashion journalists. I just enjoy looking at people regardless. You certainly got WWD’s attention, didn’t you?
I think you look great. It’s you. fire engine red and leopard prints and why not? Gotta wear what you love and what makes you happy. Life is too short and there’s really no time to worry about what people think. Who gives a care whether WWD thinks it’s a disaster or not.. it’s a brilliant publicity anyhow!!
You go WendyB!
I think it will be a good idea to get Susan hooked up with your jewellery as someone suggested. 🙂

I think you looked fabulous in this dress. God forbid you wear something unique….Simply stunning. I like the shoulders just the way they are….
