Fashion Failures

Women still wear curlers in public. It's sad but true.



And they still brazenly show their bra straps.


What Was she thinking?

But there's a new fashion trend, apparently all the rage and
this one, I so don't get.


It's called the "Ideal Heel." Umm, ideal for a fashion heel, I suppose. Then again, having no heel at all is not much better.

But the worst fashion faux pas is the unforeseeable one, the one you just couldn't anticipate.


So if you thought you were having a bad day . . .

No bad day here. I was at a medical practice with really sick people. That will teach anyone to appreciate just how good their average day was/is. I do have a store, not very far from me, where curlers & bunny slippers are more the rule than the exception. The store scares me and I tend to drive on by. ~Mary

Oh, no. What is this ideal heel? I don't understand!!!

The Mother said...

I'm sorry. If I had a body like that? I'd not care one iota if my back seam ripped and my derriere hung out.

The Dental Maven said...

I LOVE it!! "Practice safe steps." That's pure genius. I'm all about practicing safe steps...

Virtually undetectable?? Not so much.

Yup, I'm with The Mother. If my butt looked like that it could hang out all day.

oh my gosh y'all--I just read the comments and did not understand why people mentioned if they had a butt like that-- when that was a guy. But then I looked again and see by the tan lines on the back that it is indeed a woman. Goes to show you I have been looking at/am surrounded by too many men (young men) in my household. Sheesh!
Also have to laugh at those heel things. Someone is always inventing something to sell.

Hilarious! And poor Therese (Swedish) who bared all in that superduper new swimsuit!

If I were built like that I'd rip the seam myself! But since I'm only somewhat hot, here's to comfy shoes and full coverage.

I'm with Michele in not recognizing gender very quickly. My ability to miss the most important details might just make me an excellent professional witness, don't you think?

Now, serious stuff. When are you going to host your own news show? If you had one, I would watch it, and it would be so interesting that I wouldn't have to read, blog, talk on the phone or have sex during it. I promise. Just tell me the time and channel and I'll be there.

i WISH one of my hands covered my ass.

Vered - MomGrind said...

That swimsuit... WOW.

Adrenalynn said...

I admit it- I'm totally guilty of the bra strap thing. It's just way too much work for me to put on a strapless bra when I wear a tank top. I'm lazy like that.
Plus I can never find a strapless bra that looks good. And now I'm rambling on about bras when I was just going to say that this is a great post. And dang, what an ass.

Sara said...

gah! My eyes!

Those shoe things? Wrong, wrong,wrong.

Were you snapping these pics in my local Walmart?

The Stiletto Mom said...

You know, I asked you not to post that picture of me in my butt-less swimsuit. Pfft.

AmyAnne said...

My grandma used to go out with her hair in pin curls. We lived in a small town. I was like, what's the point? To look better? After you already showed everyone your bad hair? Huh?

Hey Vodka Mom, be careful what you wish for. One of my hands can cover my ass but that is because I woke up one day ASS-LESS. Husband actually morns my missing butt. I remind my eldest regularly that I USED to have a butt like hers. Damn kids take everything.

the Mayor said...

Bra strap showing...no big deal. That kind of back fat...something for a girl to worry about.

Don said...

For those of you ladies who would wear that swimsuit - Jeez! Just say NO! That's just tacky; to say the least. Makes the curlers look good actually.

Skunkfeathers said...

Was that a speedo with an oopso?

Debbie said...

Talk about wardrobe malfunction and that spandex squishing every thing together. Yuck.

It BURNS!!! snicker, snicker...
Is that some kind of plastic contraption that "As Seen On TV" came up with or did Walmart? Nope, they will not ever decorate any of my heels in which I must always wear to claim 5ft 1"- I'd rather teeter on my spikes!
Great Post!!!

Actually, you posted the worst possible pictures of IdealHeel. The product is actually great when worn on the right color high heel. It's hardly noticible. I wear these every day on my commute to the office and I have saved HUNDREDS in shoe repairs! Love IdealHeels!
