How many times has someone said, "Her dress/top/jeans look like they were painted on!"
Now painted on clothes can be a reality.
"The fabric, which dries when it meets the skin, is very cold when it is sprayed on, a limitation that may frustrate hopes for spray-on trousers and other garments."
Did we even have hopes for spray on trousers?
I wonder if we can get neon metallic colors?

Quotable Friday
In the "you have got to be kidding me" category:
For Lyz Olko, a designer of the punk-chic label Obesity and Speed, the layered floral/tough girl Elaine look is nostalgic. “My entire wardrobe consists of floral, denim and black leather,” she said. Recently Ms. Olko, a self-proclaimed pack rat, retrieved many of her ’90s dresses from storage to wear again. (“I was also into floral print rompers,” she noted, “but I’ve retired them.”) On a recent thrifting excursion, she emptied an entire rack of floral dresses into her cart.
“I went into Screaming Mimi’s the other day,” she said of the venerable vintage shop in NoLIta, “and it was all dresses you would see in Arizona.”
NY Times August 18
Sometimes I think that the New York Times zeitgeist-trackers need to get out more, and see some new people. And what exactly do they mean by, "all the dresses you would see in Arizona." Obscure Morman polygamist cult wear? Laura Ashley floral leg o'mutton sleeved atrocities? Annie Oakley costumes? Discuss.

Girls just want to have fun
My sister emailed me after my post below to ask:
"What makes underwear "fun?" The pattern? Little duckies on them?"
A question great minds have been asking since Ancient Egypt (That's what those hieroglyphs mean!)

Quotable Friday
In which we share our favorite quotes:
Françoise Sagan wrote: “A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off you.”
The New York Times advises: Buy some fun, new underwear.
I'm always in favor of new undergarments. Can't go wrong there. But I wonder what dress would meet Mme Sagan's strict guidelines?
