More flower molestation!
Hey, that outfit was the shizz in 1992! Don’t judge!
UPDATED TO ADD: Check it out! Special spam haiku in my honor! Nadine T. Bartley is going to love this!
UPDATED AGAIN: Damn! Who is the bitch who failed to invite me to the I Am Legend premiere last night? Identify yourself! You cost me an opportunity to meet my idols.
Practically Perfect In Every Way says
actually FM that outfit is scheduled again for spring 2009, so you are ahead of things.
is it innapropriate to take a monster in your pants out for drinks just to see where it leads?
Lynette says
Is that a magnolia you’re smiling so beside?
And who would have the monstrous gall
To judge your outfit, shoes and all?
Of all the places for the monster to hide
He smiled and picked your pants, after all.
Couldn’t resist–the haiku sort of inspired me to make a poetic effort in my comment.
Suzanna Mars says
And you do realize, of course, how difficult those shorts were to wear? Imagine how many retail unfortunates waddled around in those, slumpy knees exposed to all mankind, thankful when the trend was over. Like me.
GeorgeB says
here in tokyo you would be flogged for the flower bending and pants.
Blue Floppy Hat says
It’s still a nice magnolia…and I’ve ended up being e-yelled at for daring to call someone a copycat. What would you do if someone from Macy’s came along and told you off about the Jennifer Meyer post?
Lady N says
That is a huge flower! LOL – love your flower molestation pics. 🙂
riz says
actually yeah those shorts are very hard to wear!
La Belette Rouge says
That flower could hold its own–it is after all–bigger than your head. No flower abuse. Flower appreciation!
WendyB says
PPIEW, in this case, the monster WAS my pants.
Lynette, a poet AND a photographer! Very impressive.
Suzanna, I think it’s not too late for the Gap to be punished for creating those.
GeorgeB, you’ve confused Japan and Singapore!
Blue Floppy, I left a comment for you. And unless it was Jennifer M. saying, “You dumb bitch, that IS my piece” I can’t say I’d be very impressed with anyone’s complaints.
Lady N, people were lining up to take pictures of it.
Riz, horrifying, ain’t it.
Weasel, true, I think that flower could beat a bitch’s ass.
pistols at dawn says
Way to inspire poetry! You’re kind of like Helen of Troy that way, but tell all the warring Greeks to keep it down outside my house, some of us are trying to sleep.
123Valerie says
Is it wrong that every time I see your picture I start humming Martika’s “Toy Soldiers”? Are you guys cousins?
WendyB says
Valerie, for a minute I was terribly offended and then I realized I was confusing Martika with Katrina of Katrina and the Waves.
PAD, I’ll those dudes to get back inside the Trojan horse. Ooh! I said Trojan. Heh heh heh.
WendyB says
I’ll TELL those dudes, I mean.
shell says
you are tooo cute! where are you with the attacking…err…ginormous magnolia?
WendyB says
The angry and hungry magnolia was last spotted in DC, eating a small child.
Blue Floppy Hat says
Wendy: thanks for the comment, it was really nice of you to actually come over and leave it.
Somehow I’ve always thought magnolias were smaller, though…what did the gardeners feed that one? I can’t think of anything else that might look pretty despite being ginormous.
In Yr Fshn says
You rocked the 90’s better than a lot of people I knew. I have an almost identical picture! (Late 90’s, so not quite as long shorts & heels)
WendyB says
Thank you, Jenn. I am still horrified by the photo AND how clearly I can remember the outfit. Floppy,the gardeners fed that magnolia squirrels and low-flying pigeons, with a Miller Lite chaser.
Aretha says
Hahaha your outfit is not so out, it’s gonna be back next season, i’m sure… That big flower is so lovely, you could wear it like Carrie Bradshaw on you jacket
atelier says
Hihi, I like a lot that you recover vintage pictures. I am not sure about the name of the flower in English, but I love those ones.
lady jicky says
I have a magnolia like that flowering in my garden right now!
Got to get me some of those pants.
WendyB says
Lady J., I believe you can find a pair of those pants in Fashion Hell.
riz says
Good idea for a post – “What Can Be Found In Fashion Hell?”
I nominate ugg boots…
TravelGretta says
How have I never been here before??? I love this place!
That outfit WAS the shizz – I had it, myself.
And Patricia Field has clearly rifled through your photos, as that mammoth flower is on Carrie Bradshaw’s shoulder, attached to a dress, in the SATC movie. I’ve seen photos.
WendyB says
TG, I will never tell anyone that you had that outfit. Don’t worry! Your secret is safe with me. Patricia Field tried to put that flower on “Carrie” but it got angry and ate them both.
stef m says
spam in your honor: my pleasure. honestly, when you asked for haiku spam on the subject of “a monster in your pants,” i didn’t really think i would have a message like that in my spam folder from which to compose a poem. the fact that there were TWO messages about the monster-in-pants is definitely frightening. . . p.s. you’re adorable in the photo
The Narcist says
LMAO Coco is your idol?!
Bobble Bee says
well, i must say that outfit is pretty good. And I really mean it!
Debbie Shiamay says
haha i think it looks simple and sweet. The colors are definitely cute!
