So What Kind of Shoes Does One Wear with Shingles?

OK, I've heard it isn't a great idea to suggest that a certain dress makes a woman looks like a house, but what about a roof?

Stacy has been bequeathed a number of dresses recently.  The story behind how she came to get these dresses is so thoroughly bizarre that I don't quite have the gumption to put it down in print.  It will take a lot of prodding and probably a considerable amount of hard alcohol to get to the point of ever willingly publishing those tawdry details.*  (Let's just suffice to say that hanging out with the generous gift-giver could prove to be a real drag.)  So I shall set aside for a moment the nefarious tale of how we came across said dresses, and instead, jump directly to the haute catwalk modelling of them that Stacy afforded me this evening.

*I prefer Scotch, if anyone's wondering.




The first piece of art is, well,... rather structural.  It has an, <ahem>, layered look that speaks of... warmth, shelter and protection from the elements...   Oh, heck, she's wearing a roof!  It's really that simple:  a roof.  Complete with shingles.  Someone should sew on a few gutters and a companion water spout.







1-800-STARVE-FAST:  If it worked
for me, it will work for you!!!
Then there is the dress fit only for an "after" shot.







Cinco de Mayo is in the can!
OK, this one isn't absolutely horrendous. We do live in LA, after all, so she might get some use out of it.






Oh my Goth!

Better dead than red.
I'm honestly lost for a comment.

My vote is for the last one, the Jessica Rabbit number.

Um, wow.

Might I suggest that for mother's day you hand your lovely wife a fantastically large gift certificate to Nordstroms so she won't be tempted to wear any of the ensembles you so graciously shared with us?

Your beautiful wife could wear anything she pleases and make it look fantastique but your commentary...well "fitting" isn't the right word...smooth and silky?.. full of style?.."wrap"turous?..seamless?...language dressed with an underpinning of fullness, perhaps "skirt"ing your real fears of being biased? Now don't "shrug" your shoulders. I could go on and on but I'll "cut" to the chase and finish this form fitting off the cuff vent :-)
