Larry: I am Larry the Bear-Totoro Thing, and today we have special blog post live from Dewberry Woods Fashion Show! I know little bit about fashion but mainly how to conceal many weapons in clotheses. So I have brought friend today for help: Sarah Mouse.
Sarah: Hi everybody. We’re excited to be attending the first-ever Dewberry Woods Fashion Show. All the denizens of the comic have turned out to see what promises to be an extravaganza of chic fashion statements for the modern scary world of 2015. First up we have–
Larry: She fall down! Oh tragedy and hazard of being supermodel! She okay now though. Director hand her OSHA accident report form and Obamacare medical code. Will leave big skidmark on ego for sure!
Sarah: Absolutely. Terribly embarrassing. Ooh, look at these two!
Larry: Big shoulders in-style finally! Silly accordion pants can carry extra rocket rounds for many tactical surprises! Brilliant!
Sarah: The pantaloon hasn’t been seen since the 1400s, except for a brief appearance as ‘parachute pants’ in the mid-1980s. Now we can all see why. Oh wow, what is this one wearing?
Larry: Look like stage lights. It is perfect fashion accessory for self-important people. Always ready for selfie! President will order many!
Sarah: They will surely be a top seller this fall, but the designer really missed out by not including a built-in selfie stick. I expect to see a few of those on some of our residents. Stop looking at me like that, I don’t name-and-shame!
Larry: This is first time, then. Here we have supermodel doing homage to Kate the Unicorn, for her role in Sad Puppies IV. Funny impression. Make Larry laugh.
Sarah: Let’s just go with that explanation. Next up we have something called Not Tonight Dear Lingerie. I don’t get it.
Larry: I think hidden grenades tell husband she does NOT want to make sweet, sweet… dinner… for this night. Is next outfit viking tunic?
Sarah: Yes it is, Larry. We have some entries by our Guest of Honor, designer Rick Owens. His first entry is indeed based on a viking tunic, with plenty of deadly hardware attached. The strategic cutout helps make TSA checks go faster, and does nothing to hide his male privilege. [editor: This is true. Many NSFW images are available with the proper search – from your local library, of course!]
Larry: This is bad, bad choice to make. Everyone can see his patriarchy! Floppy toga-thing is over-sized. Make him look small.
Sarah: The crisp fall air we have in the woods today doesn’t exactly help him stand out either. Rick’s next entry is supposed to make a statement about ablism.
Larry: I see. In addition to being supermodel, model is also superhero! Four arms make work take half time, extra legs strategically placed to ward off wierdo people. Now everybody knows what is like to not have all limbs. Next up is… what is this, Sarah?
Sarah: Our runway model is wearing another model – as an accessory! It’s like an existential meta-model thing going on! Truly avante-garde! Good thing supermodels eat next to nothing.
Larry: This is brilliant way to buy one ticket at movies and sneak friend in. ‘No, is NOT other person, is accessory! Do you not live in Los Angeles, simpleton?’ Note heavy OSHA-approved lifting straps rating for up to 90 lbs. Does Obamacare have medical code for ‘catastrophic runway pileup’?
Sarah: For our last model… I. Have. No. Words.
Larry: I see professionals making stunt look easy. Clearly they no have trust issues. Or boundaries. This is good replacement for corporate retreat team-building fall-back-and-catch-me exercise. No Tex-Mex allowed at retreat, though. Only true friend would volunteer to be couture fashion statement. I hope they switch off next time they go to clubbing.

I see Dunning- Kruger has a much broader application than I had imagined.
How embarrassing for humanity.

I’ve never been to a live fashion event I *do* know if someone turned up on a first date wearing a spiked heel strapped to her head I’d *definitely* have something to write about next Tuesday 😛

That appeared to be a very large shoe. I’ll pass on meeting that Cinderella.
Everyone seemed to miss the point that this is lesbian fashion year, not that I looked too far. Seemed obvious to me from the designs, the models and the u… perpetrator’s explanation.
Not that I care, mind you. They can do what they want, but it aint high fashion.
I’m sure my sister will explain it all to me at great length. (sigh)

Don’t go into the conversation unarmed! When she starts in, ask her to wear a high heel on her head so you can both put the explanation into the proper perspective.
I think it was more likely gay dude fashion year. Open-crotched outfits giving peeks at the wedding tackle on the guys, and clear humiliation for the female models. I’m no expert, though. I don’t want to be.

Good point. Both I guess. 2015 is revenge of the gays. They’re awfully petty though.
Social justice worriers, unite!

Thank you, that is so gratifying! My hope is to be so funny that we can sell Tempest in a Teardrop hand-held oxygen breathers as a way to do the comic full-time 🙂
