NOT for grown-up ladies.*
(*Unless you are a chorus girl from the 1930’s and are in the middle of rehearsing for a Broadway musical.)
I recently spent a Saturday in NYC – a place where I get an eye-full of of whatever is cool and trendy – I saw a lot of rompers on all body types. And I have to say that my conviction remains solidly in place – rompers were meant for babies and not us ladies… in public, anyway.
Okay, maybe poolside is an acceptable place to wear one of these jobs – yesterday I saw a lady in one and it made sense by the pool.
I don’t know where my fashion authority suddenly comes from?! Do you? I just feel what I feel and then decide to get bossy about it, I suppose. Perhaps Joan Rivers will read this and invite me to be on her show where she and her daughter make judgments about who looked good at the Oscars and who looked silly. Because, like Joan and Melissa**, I know what I am talking about! Can’t you just see me? I’d say, “WHAT was she thinking wearing a ROMPER to the Oscars?! I just want to wrap her up in a pastel baby’s blanket, tickle her under he chin and say coochie coo!”
(**Seriously, who decided to make them fashion gurus? It’s a little odd. On the other hand, I am TOTALLY QUALIFIED to boss people around and tell them what they can and can not wear!)

I have a list of things women/teenagers should not wear. I am no fashion guru but I can tell when something should clearly not be worn. I also have a list of items that should not be made in anything over a size med.

This. Is funny. I heartily enjoyed it. I wonder when rompers will hit UT…

Nikki, I want to see that list! In fact, how awesome would it be if you and Liza teamed up and got bossy about fashion together! Now THAT is a show I would watch faithfully. I’d even sit on the couch all day to watch marathon episodes of it. In fact, I kind of wish it was on right now…

Oh, Ben. You really are one of the sisties sometimes. (Okay okay so I’d watch that show, too.)

Gosh, dang! That comment was from Brynn, not Ben. That’s the second time I’ve done that. Here’s the thing: the name “Ben” looks a lot like the name “Brynn.” In fact, you make three simple letter changes and one can easily become the other.
But I’m kind of surprised that the clarity and originality of my prose style didn’t tip you off immediately, Chas, to the fact that the last Zimmer comment was made by yours truly and NOT by the Benja-man.

Brynn, quit trying to cover for your man’s girly posts.
