Summer is the time for ugly

Sort of. I tend to get trashy during the summer. The summer heat makes me twice as lethargic, and I often just throw on cut-offs and a random tee/tank, things that go best with bike riding and beer drinking.

Anyway, here are some ugly things I've enjoyed, available at Opening Ceremony.

I could totally see these Pegleg NYC tees at some bbq with delicious cheesburgers.

Also, omg, Maui revival line!? Remember this fugly line? Everyone would wear them with, like, neon tube socks. Regarding the model: if I got my hair cut like that, would people finally notice that I'm gay? Just saying.




Ugh, God, sorry, Aubrey. The heat makes me a little loopy.

Go sit in the corner ...

From the Agnes b. fall 08 line. I kid you not.

Victorya Hong, PR Season 4
COPYCAT MUCH? (not that her dress was nice or anything to begin with.)

psssh. i hate Victorya so hard.
(and not just for the reason you're thinking.)

i leave you with a well-put assessment of her prom dress on episode 7, courtesy of Project RunGay:

insane clown couture?

i think maybe my absolute biggest fashion pet peeve is when people (usually obnoxious types) truly think they dress really well/edgily, but in reality just look like an insane clown. i'm all about being adventurous/edgy in the realm of fashion, by all means. but why, oh why, are you taking what may be a decent idea and then shitting all over it by going completely off the deep end with clashy colors, absurd accessories (nice alliterations, me!) and full-on sluttiness?? didn't you learn anything about color theory in middle school art class? didn't your mother teach you only to expose your breasts to the boy (or girl. hayyy, S!) you're dating currently? COME ON NAH.

a brief (read: slightly extensive) case study (faces have been censored to protect the...er...guilty):

okay, what the hell is even going on here? "the colors, duke, the colors!!" more like the colors--(puke!)--the colors. if only you could see the enormous halos of iridescent blue eyeshadow underneath the grotesque black box (forgive me, i only have mspaint to work with on this craptop o' mine).



at first glance, this is mostly just a bit boring. and the colors are a tad troubling, again.
but wait!
....



SINCE WHEN DID ELECTRIC BLUE (SEE HEELS) GO WITH THAT *CLASSIC* GOLD-PURPLE-RED COMBO?? since never, that's when.



...
i don't think this offense really requires an explanation.




so, the dress on its own is actually kind of cool. the gym shorts, thigh-high red socks and visible obnoxiously-colored brassiere i cannot explain.



slutzilla. icing on the proverbial cake (acid washed wedding cake?), as it were.



this one is almost good. SO CLOSE. all the individual pieces are attractive: high-waisted jumper, vintage "New Orleans French Quarter" tee (hayyy. represent!), classic black nylons. my only significant complaint about any individual piece is the red shoes. red heels could definitely be done with an outfit like this/with this color palate. but pointy heels, especially red strappy patent ones, are decidedly a no-no. also, when all the parts are pulled together it almost starts to push its limits. almost.



ARE WE AVRIL LAVIGNE? WHY THE WEIRD GLOVE THINGIES?? (this was a repeat offense, incidentally.)
no dice, girly. not now.

do you know what i'm talking about? you can see where they're going with it, in many cases, but then everything gets lost in a seasick cesspool of clashing colors, tacky accessories and tastelessly revealing clothing. TSK TSK!! honestly.
