You saw that page and focused on the headgear and the rhinestone footwear?

Cue the Devil-Wears-Prada speech about how the influence of this fashion show is going to cascade down to the lumpy rhinestone face boards that you picked up from a bin at some tragic Casual Corner. ---

Wow, I really loved those clothes! I mean the rectangular head-women clothes, not the vagina dress or granny bra. I’m entirely in favor of weird shit at fashion shows. ---

I can’t fathom how the writer of the article could think the rhinestone Crocs were crazier than the headboards. I can easily picture someone wearing blinged-up Crocs in real-life, but no way a sane person is going to wear one of those headboards in the real world. ---
