Haiku Friday: Fashion Disaster


My dad actually was a model, and quite a good one, too. That's him in the photo above, a 1960's bourbon ad.

Me, not so much. For example, check out this video of an excellent photographer, Joe Griffin, and his crew of four trying valiantly to get a decent photo of me:



Which brings to mind... what was your worst outfit ever? Can you describe it in haiku?

Yes, you can.

I will go first:

Ripped jeans with an old
7-11 uniform shirt,
Whooo- eee! Babe repellant.

Now it is your turn. Feel free to vary from the usual 5 syllable/7 syllable/5 syllable format this week, because we need to allow for a little freedom to combine with our collective despair.

Comments:
that video is awesome

baylor law hoodie
under a judge's black robe
studying pc

we came up here one night after having a few and I found a judge's robe left out and decided to run around the school in it while talking with a friend about how objections and responses seem far too similar to Harry Potter duels. If I could have found a stick to use as a wand, the outfit would be a great reminder of why people from Michigan don't exactly blend in as well as others in Texas.

"Objection, hearsay!" "Not for the truth of the matter asserted!"
Haha it was probably bad that we were enjoying ourselves in PC and able to laugh but that won't be known until grades are out.
 
Halter top, short skirt
Big hair and too much makeup
Not good at Princeton!
 
Blousy silky shirt
with Z. Cavaricci pants
Hammer, don't hurt 'em
 
AND CONGRATS! That really is a cool honor. And you are quite deserving as someone who represents all the best aspects of a city that will always be my second home.
 
Anon 7:30, that is hilarious. I can see that scene--it should be in a movie.
And that video is great, too.

Junior-high chic
In small-town seventies
Long hair, wire rims, flimsy bra
Embroidered jeans with
Purposeful patches
High hopes at age fourteen.
Style trickled down slowly
To Morganton, NC.
 
Our Osler! Imagine!
The Wacoan of the Year.
He does Baylor proud.

Worst fashion faux pas?
I recall everything
from the seventies.

Super wide lapels.
Big-plaid trousers that made my
skinny butt look huge.

Pseudo-Farrah hair
with layers and layers of
back-combed lacquered wings.

Platform shoes peeking out
of rolled-up jeans with creases
bleached from dry cleaning.

Shiny knit jersey
disco dancing dresses worn
while Electric Gliding.

Teetering across
campus to get to class in
disco spiked-heeled pumps.

I wasn’t alone.
We all were style disasters.
What were we thinking?
 
Haha glad you find it hilarious. I put just enough on there for Osler and some others to know who I am. However, I don't want to have Baylor Law kick me out for having fun so this is one of the few times I'll stay anonymous on here.
I think I'm just a few screw ups away from being called back to the Dean's suite for a talk about my future with BLS and this time it'll be that there isn't one.
 
White socks and dress shoes
Thought I looked great in a hat;
Me, a high school fop.
 
Still laughing - very funny video.
You don't look fat either. They say the camera adds 10 lb.

North Carolina
hog washers and mud boots
a way of living
 
Am I the only
one here who thought that Osler's
dad was George Clooney?

Awesome. Professor, I think your sister got all the cool. LOL
 
Whoa! I watched the whole video.. and some woman got credit for "hair and makeup." What the heck did she do to your hair?

And makeup?
 
She wrestled my hair
And concealed my entire face;
Pretty good work, huh?
 
Nothing like a good,
handsome, bartender pouring
bourbon over ice
 
Senior Prom oh my,
A powder blue leisure suit,
Blended with the sky.
 
BIG THREE-CORNERED HAT
CLOTHES FROM THE COLONIAL DAYS
SIGN: "QUIT TAXING US"

-ALL CAPS GUY ON A RECENT TRIP TO A TEA PARTY
