Scratching the Surface

Fashion/Style by Liza Van Horne
February 5, 2008

What could be more comforting, dear readers, than awakening from a months-long coma to a room full of framed photos of people who hate each other's guts? Ah, the Newman Ponderosa Ranch, where the horses are strong, the dogs are good-looking, and the hired help is invisible yet referred to by name. Victoria "Stutterbug" Newman decided to try on Mummy's wedding dress from the eighteenth time Mummy was married to Dicktor. Nice that she had flies buzzing around her stinky head as she slipped on the delicate lace-sleeved garment, immediately leaving toxic green stains on the armpits.

Nick Newman was living the dream in a cheap-looking wife beater tank and track pants on Friday as he lounged around the Tackyhouse watching daytime TV and eating Cheetos, looking as if his hair needed a wash or three. Later, he put on his Big Boy Clothes for a relaxing evening of burned, inedible food at the Yawn Abbott Memorial Mansion of Days Gone By with the ex-wife he cheated on and the man whose wife he stole. Good times. His darling wife Phyllis made a dress out of leftover crispy gold wrapping paper from Christmas and a couple of black velvet straps, while the hostess with the mostest - Sharon -decided upon a royal blue disco dealie that resembled a tube top sewn to a seat belt.

This dinner party somehow led to a discussion of everybody's favorite movie, a cringe-worthy little picture starring She Whose Unclothed Privates We Have All Seen Way Too Much Of And Who Is Currently Relaxing In A Rubber Room: "Crossroads". Why, they're all at a crossroads of some sort! Man, that shit is DEEP. Whoa. And the idea of anybody being willing to chuckle it up with the spouses who either left them or whom they cheated upon is ludicrous. Dammit, Josh Griffith! I really want to go to the prom with you this spring but honestly, if you're going to write stuff like this I may just go with my cabana boy Glenn. He makes a fine, flavorful Manhattan.

Indulge me this digression from fashion for a moment because seriously, who thinks this quadrangle of fuckheads is going to make a successful business together?! Sharon has fashion sense? In what universe? What the bloody hell is Sharon even qualified to DO? Well, thankfully, a very funny Television Without Pity poster named "Poke from Roanoke" spells it out for us all:

"Well, Sharon DOES spokesmodel like no other. She also carries folders from conference room to conference room with a lot of skill and purpose. So, I mean, obviously she'll make an awesome foundation executive (edit: or Crossroads whatever-the-hell). All you really need is a great smile and folder carrying ability. It's what gets me through MY day."

Ahhh, Poke, you are so right. That is the single finest thing I have ever read about Sharon from anyone, anywhere. I love you and would like to have fifty of your babies. Sorry, Josh, you'll just have to wait in line.

Getting back to fashion, which we should, what the hell is Nikki thinking these days? She showed up to her first day as Jabot Head Cheese in some kind of red sheath dress with a notched square neckline and a black boomerang across her tits. I honestly don't know what that was supposed to be. And could her hair have been flippier? According to the Flip Calibration Council of North America, the answer is No.

What's the perfect thing to wear when you plan to trailer-trash your arch-nemesis's Memorial Mansion of Days Gone By? Why, a tiger-print skirt, a black sweater and high shiny black boots! That is precisely what Gloria chose to wear for her debut as a gold-bricking squatter. Sharon preferred a merlot-colored satin kimono blouse that did nothing for her, and Li'L Miss Noah appeared after spending the past two weeks at "Sam's" in an oversized argyle sweater and a matching oversized bratty-ass attitude. Oh, they are all out to drive each other MAAAAAAD! It's just like Big Brother. Let the games begin!

Cheers? Jeers? Let Liza know. See also: Feb 1 Fashion Report
