And he does Carmina Burana references, too!
I. LOVE. You.

Note that his gloves now cover his entire hands. And norw he is beginning to cover his calves as well. I guess eventually his entire body will be encased and he will finally appear as… Darth Vader? Sorry, I’m not a big Star Wars fan, but this is getting more than a little wierd.
January 25th, 2006 at 4:15 pm
What the heck is he wearing…button-fly leggings? I wish he’d go back to being fat.

Even the skinny Lagerfeld has kegs for calves in Uggs! I think the bridal Uggs on the female model belong in the ‘gallery of the horrors’
January 25th, 2006 at 5:12 pm
More horror than I previously thought possible. A true sign of the Apocalypse.

1. The title of this post made me howl with laughter.
2. The Lagerfeld seriously creeps me out.

The desertwind was caught today doing “the poor man’s facelife” in the bathroom mirror. Now she understands the function of the Lagerfeld collar! Soon, to be effective, it will have to encase his entire head!
Ah, Time, cruel mistress.
January 25th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
that is — “facelift”…
Lagerfeld and “life” is a irreversable dichotomy.
January 25th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
The nightmares I’m going to have tonight!!
January 25th, 2006 at 8:29 pm
Uggs?….NOooooo - Valenki’s.
January 25th, 2006 at 10:48 pm
He’s definitely in touch with his inner eighties rock star. He seems pretty vain, but he’s obviously having so much fun, you have to give him points for joie de vivre.
January 25th, 2006 at 11:26 pm
Ryno, you are right about the gloves and the boots, but it looks like his sport coat is getting shorter!
January 26th, 2006 at 1:41 am
As much as that Sign of the Apocalypse affects me… I do have to concede that the white gown that model is wearing is absolutely gorgeous!
January 26th, 2006 at 7:37 am
Ryno and Deserwind are both right… being a Star Wars fan, I can definitely tell you that Lagerfeld is training to become the next Sith Lord. Soon we shal see him in full armour of Ugg boots, gloves and headgear in the shape of a giant collar with only holes for the eyes, made indestructible by the gigantic amounts of starch used to keep it upright…

Pity the poor virgin as she walks unsuspectingly to her doom at one of The Dark Lord’s satanic masses.
The collar is like the bald man’s combover: It only calls attention to the Turkey Neck he is trying to hide.

THE FIFTH SEAL HAS BEEN BROKEN!
January 26th, 2006 at 2:39 pm
The funky little fashion troll needs to strike him down with a mighty thrust of his epee.
I would *so* pay to see that!
January 26th, 2006 at 3:54 pm
I am reminded of the Bauhaus song “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time’s dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
I also must admit that my latin is rusty. Could the darling Manolo provide a translation, please?

Dear Sara -

The Latin word “fortem” (masculine, accusative, singular) it is in this instance better translated as “strong” or “brave” man.
January 27th, 2006 at 1:12 am
Heeeheeheeee, Darth in bedroom slippers!
Very silly. Very four-year-old-girl.
Whatever effect he was attempting with the rest of that outfit, it is cancelled out by the squishy footgear.
January 27th, 2006 at 2:03 pm
Girls, we must not stop here. We must spread the word that dressing like this is horrifying, beyond unacceptable. This was NOT something I wanted to see before my morning’s tea.
January 27th, 2006 at 5:32 pm
OMG, he gets weirder and weirder … pretty soon he’ll be sleeping in an oxygen tent IF HE ISN’T ALREADY.
But Manolo … what about the flat boots on the bride? “Awful” doesn’t begin to describe the tip of the iceberg she is apparently impersonating.
January 27th, 2006 at 11:21 pm
Thank you Gina, and thank you Manolo!
January 28th, 2006 at 7:29 pm
it’s not the boots, it’s the button-fly levi’s slash leggings plus skin cancer.
hilarious!

Maybe he had an ankle injury and needs the support of THE UGG? Or maybe just maybe he is trying the famous chubby girl optical illusion: FAT BOOT….SKINNY LEGS!

Important cultural factoid to avoid the international embarrassment with the uggs:
Do not wear the uggs in public unless you wish to become the laughing stock of non-bogan* Australians and new Zealanders.
