I’m aware that designers use fashion shows to be over the top and outrageous to get attention. But aren’t the fashions supposed to give a clue as to what the designers think somebody might actually buy and wear?
Looking at the works by designers La Casita de Wendy HAPPY during The EGO of Pasarela Cibeles fashion show in Madrid in January make me wonder. Robert Basler from Reuters does a great job of skewering in the excerpt:
Memo to comic book staff: We’ve used every possible premise in creating new super crime fighters, so we’re down to Toothache Man.
See, this was just a normal dude in pain, visiting a dentist with his jaw wrapped in an elastic bandage and wearing a plastic mask to keep drill spray out of his eyes, when some tainted novocaine gave him super powers.
So writers, try to use lots of dental quips when he fights bad guys, such as “Holy molar!” and “This won’t hurt a bit!” And remember his hip catch-phrase. As he takes the crooks in, he winks at them and says, “I’m afraid your plan won’t cover this!”
