More Great Moments in EPIC FAILure....

^^Yet again, the Snuggie (or variations of it) makes my list. This is just too funny and comes to us thanks to my favorite vacay spot - Japan. Yes, this guy does look warm...but...practical? I think not! The leg holes and hoodie aspects are a good innovation and reduces the "I look like I'm wearing a robe" feel of the original Snuggie design. But....where are the arm holes? How is he supposed to do anything? If the phone rings, if he wants to change the channel, or if he just wants to eat something, it's utterly impossible!! Unless of course, he unzips the legs (haha) and risks getting his legs and arms cold.

So...this is upgraded to EPIC FAIL for creating great innovation but failing to maintain its practicality. It's also much more expensive than the Snuggie...errrmmm no thanks I'll stick to my felt-y robe. ^_^

Racy? Trashy? Confused?!

Ok...

So, normally I don't make posts on current events, but this one just seemed so out there, I had to make a comment. In a few weeks there's going to be a Miss Universe pageant. Now, back in the day, I used to watch all the pageants - Miss America, Miss USA & Miss Universe. Not the teen ones tho...not really my thing.

Anyway, there's quite a bit of hubub about Miss Japan's "cultural costume". Actually...it looks something of a HAM (Hot Ass Mess) IMO. Personally, I'm in love with traditional kimonos and if I actually had somewhere to put the darn thing, I would have bought one and had it custom made when I was in Japan last year. Now...had the hemline on her kimono come down significantly further...I would be all over this outfit. But as is - heck no I won't go.

She's defending it as being edgy fashion, but it just looks slightly ermmmm cheap? But hey...what do I know...I just used to work in the fashion industry. In the Garment District. For strong performing lines. In New York. :-/ There's too much going on in this outfit...making it a FASHION FAIL.

But you be the judge! Tell me what you think!
