    Ayyyy! I remember when Oksana skated with grace and sensitivity. The 15-year-old Ukrainian orphan beat the trashy Tanya Harding and stiff-necked Nancy Kerrigan at the Olympics in the 90s. How far she has fallen!




  2. robyn Says:

    Darling, why is Oksana wearing a girdle out of the house like that? If it was some sort of Playboy event, couldn’t Kendra, Holly and Brigitte help her with her outfit?I’m glad she’s getting press, but that’s the attention grabbing ensemble she chose?

    Sigh. At least she covered her ladyflower.




  3. oliviacw Says:

    If this was not the runway at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show (not that they would ever sell a girdle), then we can only imagine that there was some tragic accident that befell Oksana’s original dress. It probably involved mud, three Dobermans, and a hair-raising chase on blocks of ice over the frozen Mississippi River. She should be applauded for keeping to her press commitments in light of such a hair-raising adventure, even if we would have preferred that she take ten minutes to slip into the nearest Target for a pair of sweatpants and a tshirt.




  4. Lizochka Says:

    Yikes! Though 90% of this get up is terrifying, as this is a shoe blog, we ought to give her credit for what looks to be a classy and sensible pair of heels. How much nicer they would have looked with an actual dress, though!




  5. sabrina Says:

    If you’re going to leave the house in only your girdle and bra, couldn’t you slap on some quick self-tanner before you go?




  6. aimlessjoys Says:

    Oksana Baiyul??? She has a dorsal line & navel tattoo? Or is that a microphone? What could she possibly say when her appearance is a statement in itself? It’s extremely alarming. Did she KNOW someone was taking her picture? Ayyyyyy to an infinite power. But Lizochka is right. The shoes are cute, but they match the tummy control thigh shaper underpants & shorten her legline, which is evidently the least of her worries.

    I can’t see! My eyes! They’re burned!




  8. daisyj Says:

    Somewhere, there is a stylist with a marvelously evil sense of humor.




  9. JayKay Says:

    Oh, it was a *tough* night at the whorehouse…again.




  10. LizaBet Says:

    Sabrina, she did slap on some self-tanner before leaving.

    Unfortunately, she only did her face & neck.

    That conclusively proves oliviacw’s theory that she was fully clothed at some point but met with a tragic accident on her way to the red carpet.




  11. Laura Says:

    If I was going to go to a Playboy party dressed in my scanties, you can bet I would do better than an unmatched bra-and-girdle ensemble.




  12. Meg Q Says:

    Oh, Oksana . . .

    (buries head in hands)

    Though, as noted, the shoes are pretty.




  13. cc Says:

    oh. my. goodness. not good. even the pretty shoes cannot save the skater from the retribution.

    btw, left a comment in your mumbai entry. like so:

    P.S. The manolo is already in my links I adore list. mwah.




  14. BootsGalore Says:

    Dearest Oksana,

    Spanx should be worn UNDER the clothing.

    Thanks everso.




  15. Gorgeous Things Says:

    Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t even notice the outfit - I was too busy being horrified by the platinum hair with inch-long roots!




  16. la petite chou chou Says:

    I’m mystified why anyone would leave the house like this? she looks like a complete tramp. I can’t even think of a benifit of the doubt.

    And these people are famous!




  17. Zarba Says:

    Oksana obviously confused the Playboy party with her audition to be Jaime Pressley’s new redneck nemesis on My Name Is Earl




  18. gemdiva Says:

    OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Does this girl not have a mirror or at least a friend who will tell her she is making a horse’s ass out of hersel?

    Where does she shop? The Naked Emperor Discount Outlet?

    The bra and girdle don’t even match!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEWWWWWWW!!




  19. robyn Says:

    to oliviacw: Victoria Secret DOES sell girdles!!! They don’t call them that, but they do have a couple of versions, even one with a butt lift a friend of mine swears by. Personally, I’m a Spanx gal.




  20. class-factotum Says:

    So all the good comments have been taken — but would you look at her? Not *an ounce* of fat on that girl!




  21. Never2ManyShoes Says:

    Am I the only one who thinks she looks…mannish?
    Maybe it’s the biker shorts and lack of bosom.




  22. Ninjarina Says:

    That girl is always a hot mess.




  23. rockmara Says:

    But no, the Zarba - the Earl must die. Consult les Dixie Chicks.

    I must also concur with the inestimable wisdom of the Class-Factotum — I must confess that if I had obliques and vastimus medii of that caliber, I too would be sorely tempted to display them at the Playboy party, if for no other reason than to show Les Bunnies what Olympic-medal use can be made of said obliques and vastimus medii.




  24. KennyCashmere Says:

    Oh, no! Dreadful cudvah!

    What a tragic picture. She was exquisite at the Olympics, and then went quickly downhill to become Da Creeminal, then the head case, and now… now… well, THAT. It is too much. It is ALL too much!
