Is that a man or a woman?
July 20th, 2005 at 6:50 am
Looks like an alien. Not a friendly one.

He looks like something out of a Wiggles concert…

The Whine Mistress, she wonders, is this being from the same planet as the eyepatch people?
July 20th, 2005 at 8:47 am
WTF?

Would someone tell that … ummm … thing to give David Bowie back his Ziggy Stardust costume.

Now we know what the Gimp from Pulp Fiction would wear for a big night out.

Behold! It is the Goldblinger!
Aaaaiiieee! Oscar, he walks among us!

Having failed to destroy the Earth with his evil Death Ray, Ming the Merciless has turned to fashion design in an effort to break our spirits.

Oh, No! Bobby Trendy is at it again!
July 20th, 2005 at 11:30 am
It looks straight out of Metropolitan.
July 20th, 2005 at 1:10 pm
Perhaps the Manolo could explain to this girl how fashion works, becaue I do not understand. If they are supposed to be creating clothes…why don’t they ever seem to make things people would actually wear?

Xenu? Is that you? Did Tom call you back to shed light on the history of psychiatry?

Fred wonders what happens if one pushes the button on top of the model’s head?
July 20th, 2005 at 6:32 pm
Fred notices suddenly that it is not a button, but merely the back end of the hair snake, which is apparently engaged in a valiant effort to remove the model from the stage by strangulation. Go, Snake!

I had to laugh out loud (literally…not the figurative “LOL”) at Liz’s Wiggles comment!! SOOOO TRUE! (and sad that I know what the Wiggles are!)
=P
Bravo, Manolo…this is hilarious!

AskMom reminds the cable channels of the higher numbers that after the 3AM “B” movie camp-a-thon, the host must divest itself of the costume and leave it in the dressing room.

“Dicevano le stesse cose per Mugler,Gaultier,McQueen…..”
la realta è che l’alta moda è sperimentazione e che certi commenti parlano da se!
sono battute da caserma fascista,poco degne di essere diffuse su internet su un sito
che tratta di moda.Fate cabaret che forse fa più al caso vostro!
August 4th, 2005 at 11:58 am
Mugler, Gaultier and McQueen have been told the same.
High Fashion is eperimenting new styles.
your comments are fascists, army troopers common way to talk, not worth an internet site which is supposed to talk about FASHION!
Let me give you and advise …….for free, try to be involved in a stand up comedy Off Broadway, you could rise some good money!
By the way, the model you are reffering to is wearing a lycra outfit with a leather robe for skiing, called Mamba goes Cortina, and if you do not understand what Cortina is, I can tell you that itis a gorgeaus place up to the Alpine mountain, very very exclusive. Mamba can go there, can you?
August 4th, 2005 at 2:44 pm
Someone pointed it out to me once, regard advice: Wise men don’t need it and fools won’t heed it. The Manolo clearly is the former.
Ah and a site that may be of some help in your communication style:

I think perhaps Augusto has confused Mambo and Mango.
August 4th, 2005 at 4:41 pm
Marie Terese understands fashion, having spent her formative years in the sample rooms where Maman worked as a top level seamstress. Often in the past, creative spirits at the avant garde of fashion were initially scoffed at for their vision. Yet, their innate talent eventually won over the skeptics.
This is not such a case. There is only one word which can adequately describe the Augusto’s creation: FUGLY.
The Augusto should apprentice himself to someone with talent and taste, perhaps it will rub off. Otherwise, perhaps a career designing costumes for the Eurovision song contest?
August 4th, 2005 at 6:06 pm
it makes the model look fat - and if the model looks fat, imagine what it would look like on a mortal?
August 4th, 2005 at 10:48 pm
What the Norma finds truly amazing is that someone could make a thing like that, yet have no sense of humor. Well, no, on second thought, I suppose it’s a prerequisite.
August 5th, 2005 at 12:03 am
Miss Nell says, if this outfit were to be worn as part of a skiing ensemble, the model, or indeed any wearer, would surely come to the disastrous (if colorful) end.
August 5th, 2005 at 8:10 am
The Happy Traveler was visiting the superb lovliness of Cortina just last week and nary a strange outfit (read: Stretch Couture) was seen. Granted, it’s not ski season but nevertheless, only normal apparel was in evidence.
The outfit in question puts me to mind of Natasha Henstridge’s character in Species…
August 5th, 2005 at 10:57 am
I am sorry Augusto, but I do not believe that this outfit is suitable for wear in Cortina or anywhere else in this galaxy. Unless of course, you are designing for Verla from Lost in Space . . . .
August 5th, 2005 at 9:15 pm
see, but it’s all about the symbolism of the thing. right?
look closely… the leather drape, that represents half-melted snow, with patches for the dead grass underneath to stick out. my lawn looked exactly the same early last spring.
the ridges on the costume are meant to remind us of the moguls you jump on a complicated ski run. and the model’s makeup shows you what happens when you hit a tree after taking a few of the moguls badly.
and the color, to remind us of the sensible old reminder: don’t eat yellow snow.
i would wear this! well, no. but i would make someone else wear this, if they were very drunk and i didn’t like them very much.
August 5th, 2005 at 9:38 pm
if manolo were as much of a talent hack and had as crappy a website as augusto has, he too might be so asinine.
August 7th, 2005 at 12:17 am
Agusta, there are people in your country who lived under Facism, and who had to deal with real stormtroopers.
You do the millions of dead a disservice and make yourself out to be an ignorant and petulant twit to call this sort of comment from Manolo “facist”.
I don’t expect you to apologize, as your kind generally doesn’t.
August 7th, 2005 at 8:16 pm
ummm…I am not convinced that it is so bad. In fact if one ditched the cape and turned it matt silver, it would make a cool industrial looking ski suit, one that might be used for downhill racing. imo.
