"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

What The Fuck Wednesday: In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle

Welcome one, welcome all! Welcome back to What The Fuck Wednesday, the prime location to read about products, items, and events that make your head snap around and your mouth utter the phrase "What the fuck is that?" Yeah, yeah, I know it's Thursday but I saw some things today while I was out shopping that just begged to be shared. Holy Shit, it was a bad taste celebration all around.

Not too long ago, the fabulous Mrs. Woog of WoogsWorld was talking about mullet skirts. You remember them, the skirts that were longer in the back and shorter in the front. The moderate ones, only slightly longer in the back than in the front, weren't too bad. I'll even cop to having had one or two in my closet in the past. But, the mullet dress I saw today was anything but moderate and the color choice...Holy hell, the color choice drove it from a daring fashion choice to something that scared the hell out of me. It was a hot pink, extreme mullet dress and the mullet was lined completely with an animal print.
While my retinas were still burning from this sight, I went into Avenue and stumbled across this horror...
Yes, it really was that shocking of a green color. Truly, that quantity of that shade of green wouldn't look good on a woman with a super model's build let alone on a woman with curves like Adele.

Can anyone tell me what the fuck the designers were thinking? Have you seen anything retina burning or what the fuck inducing? Join the fun and tell us about it.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight...

All I can say is that with these colors the lion ain't sleeping anywhere.

I'm a huge fan of www.gofugyourself.com, and they have something retina-burning almost every day. Today, I was looking at their slide show of the Marchesa line from Fashion Week, and I believe I actually recoiled in horror once. *shudders*

Bwahahahaha, let's make it 4. Thanks for the link. I'll have to check it out.
I saw someone 'in the fashion industry' wearing a skirt sort of like that on a talk show last week. Mini in the front and maxi in the back. Was the dumbest thing I've ever seen!

My most recent WTF moment has to do with a new Jack In The Box commercial... the one about marrying bacon. I don't normally let commercials get under my skin (unless they include the sounds of people eating... that's just gross) but no matter where you come down on the marraige rights debate, that bacon commercial is offensive. I get that it's supposed to be tongue in cheek, but if you're fighting for the right to marry the one you love, it's insulting and if you hold with a more conservative, traditional view of marraige, it's insulting.

Maybe that was the point... to piss everyone off. Or maybe I'm just overly irritable. Could be either.
One of my friends used to say that outfits like the second one made someone look like "the house and yard". I can't even picture that outfit on someone skinny. Regarding the first, you obviously do NOT have a teenage girl...I am sure that or something similar will appear in prom pictures this spring.

It probably will but it is hideous.
