just because you're on vacation...

it doesn't mean you don't have to care about what you do or do not wear!



Wilma: Do you think she tried this on and thought, 'damn, I look hot'?
Betty: Cutting fringe on your t-shirt is NEVER EVER EVER ok. Got it? Good.













Wilma: I have to avert my eyes.
Betty: Nope, it isn't true that men can wear anything. This young man needs a t-shirt or a tank top.


















Wilma: I knew the past 8 years of Republican rule was going to cause trouble.
Betty: Um... is it the shoes, or the bun, or the blue accent that throws this outfit out of whack?

Ballet: Pas de deux

Betty: Last ballet of the season. Good job kids you're great. Now if we could only get the audience dress appropriately. It's the outfit on the left that's a problem. A scratchy blue number complete with sparkles and fairy princess skirt. If she was 6 it would have been a cute dress, but alas at 30+ this dress is a No-No! Also, note the funky quilted bollero thing up top. I wonder if she got up that mornng and thought.. am I a princess or am I a bull fighter... the hell with it, I'm both!

Sonics Don'ts

Betty: hello 45 year old woman with a 10 year old's hairstyle. All she needed was a pretty pink ribbon woven around the clip and she could have jumped back in time to 1982.

Wilma: The best part, the clip on the other side of her head was a different color.

Betty: Yikes. The hair... the make up... not good for the environment.

Wilma: Wow, it looks even worse in the photo!





Betty: Sorry, this one's a little blurry but you get the idea. Just because we're AT war doesn't mean you have to dress the part.

Wilma: Hee. Maybe it's part of our patriotic duty to give up our fashion sense.

whoa, dude!?

Betty: Hey there big fella! Whatcha got goin' on with that shirt? It's something alright.

Wilma: That appears to be an "artististic" representation of shock and awe...either that or a small child was allowed to pour some bleach on Dad's shirt.

Et tu ballet?

At the Pacific Northwest Ballet...















Betty: Hello Mary Engelbreit!

Wilma: My eyes!!!

IKEA No-shlag No-shlag's

A day at IKEA is fun if you can master the parking situation and the unique names. No, those aren't light bulbs they are keldenfelders.

It was crazy shoe day at IKEA.




Betty: This gal was super cute in her 60's black and white houndstooth dress with matching black tights. Her boots however were a yucky tan that frankly just didn't go. I would suggest these as an option:




Wilma: Oh, good choice. Honestly, any boot in black would have been better. I love camel color boots but not with black & white check. Amazingly enough, I don't think her husband even noticed!













Betty: Tisk Tisk Tisk, the black skirt with the blue athletic tights were terrible enough and then add the Nanook of the North Let's-Trek-Alaska boots and I want to hurl. (Girlfriend, Carrie Bradshaw you ain't.) I wouldn't ever dare to do the black/blue tight combo - but if I was forced to I might soften the look with ballet slippers:


Wilma: It's as if we've gone back in time to the 80's. The 80's were not good. I'm sorry, I can't right any more, I'm having some terrible flashbacks that involve off the shoulder sweatshirts a la Flashdance and neon.









Betty: This one is a little bit harder to see, but these are the appropriately named "UGG"s paired with a blue earthgirl skirt. I think she forgot that with the earthy clothes Burkenstocks are the preferred footwear. I might have chosen these shoes instead:

Wilma: Honestly, only women of a certain age should wear Uggs. Trust me, she was not in the appropriate demographic.

More Oscar Madness

Betty: Ok, David a smile and some skin color would go A LONG WAY.

Wilma: Apparently, getting nominated for an Oscar just isn't enough.














Betty: This dress looks like a one hour challenge from Bravo's Project Runway.

Wilma: You're thinking Santino, right? She's all one color! I hate that look. I'm sure it's the "in" thing, but I think it washes her out.

















Betty: Lord love a duck, honey your hair looks like crap.

Wilma: And those shoes! The dress doesn't look so good either.






















Betty: Careful she doesn't wear that dress to the White House, the Veep might try to shoot the bird on her shoulder.

Wilma: Ugh. So disappointed. On the upside, she wore a color!


















Betty: Tim, Tim, Tim. Who does YOUR hair? Helen Bonham Carter? I like the little skull and cross-bones tie - but enough already, you like death.

Wilma: He's trying to top the Wallace and Gromit guys.
