Recent fashions for men, from Men’s Fashion Week (yes, seriously!).
Is Jane Slayre influencing fashion? I wish! Hardly. More like zombies are suddenly all over the place, the new big thing.
There’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies that kicked off the literary mash-up trend. And all sorts of zombie books suddenly making the rounds. Robin Becker’s Brains. Jesse Peterson’s Married with Zombies. Of course, Jane Slayre has a few zombies.
There’s the Woody Harrelson movie, Zombieland. And of course, one of my favorite comedies, Shaun of the Dead.
How do you feel about zombies? Do you find them scary? Silly? Inspiring? Would your man be caught dead (yuk yuk) in any of these seemingly zombie-inspired fashions? Are zombies the new vampires?
And this just in: The Swiss have released Roman Polanski instead of extraditing him to the US, citing the US’s lack of forwarding testimony. What do you think? Should Roman go free?
In honor of YOU, dear readers, because we love you and we haven’t given anything away in the longest time, we’re giving away a Kindle Fire (or the gift card equivalent, in the event you have or don’t want a Kindle Fire) to one lucky commenter from now until February 13, when we will choose a winner at random from commenters, to be announced on Valentine’s Day.

What the hell is a lanyard???
OMG. These guys are never going to get a date! Blech!
What they need is a bath and a good meal!
Well, they do have each other, and that might be enough.
Actually, I bet there’s a whole culture of teenage girls who would look at those pics and think, “Wow, those guys are so HOT!”
Scary thought, Jacquie! Probably true!
Hmmm….Hubot has lost a lot of weight recently. I think with a little make-up, he might pull off the look.
Roman Polansky. I have no idea what that means, they didn’t forward testimony, but I don’t think it’s right that just because someone had the means to evade arrest for so long they should get off. I think in the same situation, the Swiss would hand me right over.
Agree…. but sadly money buys pretty much anything.
Re zombie fashion–that’s not just no, but HELL no! Seriously, that’s ridiculous. But when it comes to high fashion, I say that a lot. I look through fashion mags and 90% of the time I just shake my head and think, “Who the heck wears that crap?” And even if there’s something that you might potentially wear, it’s crazy expensive. I mean other than Hollywood types who earn bazillions of bucks, who really pays $700 for a pair of shorts??
Exactly, Jacquie. If you don’t get it, there’s absolutely no hope for me. I think I’ll just show up for conference in shorts (not the $700 kind), t-shirts, and Mickey ears. Blame it on the mouse. I can even get fancy glittery ears for RITA.
I’m wearing my RWA tag on my Disney lanyard! DH and I decided to collect pins on the recent vacation, so I figure why not, LOL!
We had pins somewhere — and lanyards… WAH… no idea where.
I’ve got pins and lanyards! I would have to pry them away from my daughter, though. That’s probably not happening.
The only lanyard I can find is the one I just bought at the boy’s Airborne graduation. It reads: Army Mom. Can I put Disney pins on that??
Sure!
Zombies are really fun to write. I never thought it possible. But not as main characters. I can’t get into zombie romance. It still surprises me when I get mail on Jane Slayre that I scared some poor reader into staying up all night with the zombie scenes. I laughed so hard writing those. Can they really be scary? Now I wonder if people who write scary movies don’t have the best job ever. I always thought they were twisted. Now I think they probably just laugh all day long.
They do some wild things at fashion shows. I never understand how some of these runway looks actually showcase the clothes. In the first place, I get distracted by the oddness and can’t examine the actual clothing. And secondly, I end up wondering “who would wear that?”
Seriously. I think designers should stop trying to make the most outrageous talked-up runway show and just sell some looks. Of course, all they need to do is give away some free stuff to a great looking celeb and we’re all wearing it eventually, maybe, in a few years, if Walmart does a knock-off. Haha.
There is not Zombie chic in dh’s future. Yuck!
I think that’s a good thing.
I looked at the pics, and thought, “Ew!” Zombies are cool, but much like vampires, should not influence fashion, nor make-up trends.
Yeah, the makeup is especially bad. What is with that? And please tell me they aren’t trying to sell that webby unraveled shirt as an actual shirt.
Well, see I thought they were very bad Zombies. Or at least Zombies with very bad make-up artists…
Didn’t Lindsey Lohan’s father take a photo of himself wearing one of those see-thru shirts? So, I guess Zombie fashion appeals to SOME people.
Ew! ew-ew-ew! You’re right, Jacquie. What an icky thought, of that man in that shirt.
