fashion faux-pas? part deux.

i do believe that the reason that i pay particular attention to french dress is simply because the french are known for being chic and stylish. it is in their genes. so when i see someone whose DNA has apparently gotten ridiculously fucked up in meiosis (mitosis? je ne sais pas.), i must take note of it. unless i hear them speaking english - americans are just slobby. it's in their genes. and jeans. hehehe.

examples of my fashion-jigga-whats?!:

i saw a man this morning in a chocolate brown velvet suit. it was a lovely suit. it would have been lovelier had it been wool, linen, silk. but velvet? pardonez-moi? are we in the 70s? shit, what decade was velvet even popular? the sad thing is that the guy was really cute. eh, i guess velvet suits can always be taken off...(oh relax, mom!) (you know this outfit really caught me by surprise when i texted becca about this shocker. it has to really catch me off guard to call for a text to the states)

i do believe i have seen the tightest pants ever. yes, they were. a man in the metro tonight gave new meaning to the term 'skinny jean.' this guy was not a toothpick. non, he was not fat, but he was not some long and lean swedish man who would look good with saran wrap sucked to his rear. i honestly have no idea how he got these pants on, and more importantly, why he kept them on once they were on. i saw him from behind as i was switching metros - i wanted to turn around to see what was going on in the front, just to see if there was enough room for things, but for fear of turning blind, i kept on. the worst part of this whole scene is that they were the lightest possible wash of denim, almost white. but not white. hell, white would have been better.

i did see a slight resemblance of a mullet on the metro. but the girl was very french-looking, so it was ok. i forgave her.

i cracked open my bottle of 2006 beaujolais. mmmmmmmmmmmm yummy. that and nutella and baguette and cheese. im pretty sure all i would need to complete this is a very sexy man. at least a very sexy man serving me these things...hahahahaha!!!!!!!!

(oh, and desolee for not having photos up. i havent really taken that many yet, actually only like 4. the first couple days that i wasnt working, i was just so busy getting shit done and i kept forgetting my camera. and the last few days ive been so crazy busy with work. hopefully we will get to that this weekend.)

oh, and lana, you dont have to come tomorrow for mecano's opening. it opens next wednesday. well, thats the word now. so how does next wed work for you?
