It's only fair my being a citizen and all. So I've chosen the Miami Fashion Week in Florida {March 22, 2009} as my opening act, and the art of Agatha Ruiz De La Prada as my opening number for today (I'll cover the rest of the designers throughout the week).
This particular event showcases some good, bad, and just plain ugly stuff. Yay for variety! Enjoy.

*~Let it begin!~*
OK, so not that bad.
Not a big fan of the sunglasses but let's face it, we've all seen preteens sporting worse so I'll let it slide.
The candy apple rain-coat pants are also do-able. A tad hippy (as in anatomy not woodstock), but it adds to the look.
Not liking the hair *at all* but then I'm basically prejudiced to most '80 inspired do's anyways so no surprise here.
The top's a bit Yo Gabba-Gabba but still fashion forward.
The accessories are simple and sweet.
All-in-all: 4 *'s out of 10
*~Next!~*
So I realize this is partly an indulgence piece, and believe that this designer has no inclination of normal people walking around with squashed mini umbrellas on their heads.
So realizing that, and that *this type of fashion* is really just wearable art and *not* meant for actually everyday wear....I'm still going to judge it like every other piece.
All-in-all: 2 *'s out of 10.
Partly because I couldn't see half of it, but mostly because I could.
*~Next!~*
First of all I've got to ask: Who is that poor woman in that grotesque get-up, and what did she do to deserve such humiliation?
We may never get our answer.
So...
All-in-all: 1 *'s out of 10.
Because I could see the human beneath, and her effort deserves recognition.
*~Next!~*
Not missing the subtle hint at sexuality, I deem this piece wack.
Neither should in be worn except as in jest.
If that is was dear Madame Prada's aim, we may all laugh together joyously. Otherwise, I fear for the one who cannot stifle their giggles well enough.
The only thing I could salvage from this is the furry beanie, and even that is stretching it.
All-in-all: 1 *'s out of 10.
Like before, I can still see glimpses of humanity.
Maybe one day she'll come back to us...
*~Next!~*
I mean, why the heck not?
Props to the model; she's really trying to make this work.
Too bad the green mound of tooling and/or fungus is preventing that from happening.
What is this trying to tell us? Unwashed hair needs love too?
Well whatever you hear the greenness whispers, don't do what it says.
It was born bad.
All-in-all: 1 *'s out of 10.
Model's effort alone.
*~Next!~*
So the Pink and White plaid dress is workable. The sea-witch hips are not(reference: "Little Mermaid" Disney classic film).
I actually like the metallic tights and the shoes are cute, but the baguette (your guess is as good as mine) hat and egg peltings are too much.
All the eggs tell us is that she's either sloppy, twisted or just generally not liked.
I vote for the second option after noticing the sardonic grin she sports.
Sick, sick little girl...
All-in-all: 3 *'s out of 10.
Just another nice dress ruined by breakfast.
*~Next!~*
Ok, *this* is the kind of ridiculousness I can handle and even appreciate. A nice simple piece with a little silliness and whimsical touch that leaves you smiling. The colors are perfect, the models make-up, hair and stance complementary, and the shape...well it just makes it.
All-in-all: 5 *'s (and a half) out of 10.
Fashion fun done right.
Anyway, that was just one of the designers at the Miami Fashion week, and as I said before I hope I get to cover them all before this week is through. Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed yourself and feel free to leave a comment giving your own opinions on the fashion or on myself. *smile* Later!
