She was good, but she was no Clay Aiken. Yet, she's going to Hollywood. And how can they say that when they're already in Hollywood?

I do not know the answer to this question, but I hope that when more knowledgeable Fashionistas weigh in, we reach a unanimous decision of "never." For me, that look just screams cougar.

By the way, equally challenging is the "how low can you go." I just got a 76.1 on the version Ty linked to on this board.

That and...IT WAS A FRICKIN' CLOWN!!! What did you want me to do - Let it follow us home and murder us in our sleep? 'cause that's what they can do, you know. Clowns. Oh, sure - no doubt moooooost of them are safe. Mooooost of the time, juggling hand-grenades is probably safe enough, too. But merrily waving at strange clown weaving in traffic in a terrifyingly decrepit clown-car is just asking for trouble. And let me tell you this my friends - this was no jet-setting clown - this was an embittered, seedy, alcoholic, pill-popping, serial-killer clown, if I ever saw one.

Frankly, I think all that were present at that...incident...owe me a debt of gratitude. Yessir, gratitude. I look after my own, I do.

I didn't know you were friends with Atticus. Someone who will remain anonymous is going to be real jealous.....

So what would your fashion advice be if consulted by a cougar?

Cougars need clothes, too, don't they?

Since I have no idea what you are talking about, I hope you are mistaking me for someone else. Either that, or my troublesome blackouts are coming back.

So, what color track suit should I get?

Most of the women I see tend toward pink or lavendar.

I'm telling you it's everywhere!! And you're right, it's not just for cougars anymore - it's the 20 and 30 somethings at Nordstroms and yes, with the $300 sunglasses!
Everytime we see one, my husband will jab "hey, you're missing out on the hot new look. You should get one." And everytime I must remind him that I have never worn sweats outside of the house, and I have never owned velour.

And yet he continues to jab you. Weird how that happens.

Dear Cougar:

You are not an unattractive woman. And you appear to have the means to purchase expensive clothing and accessories. What I urge you to do is to exhibit some retraint. I understand that you have some insecurities, and that you are dealing with these insecurities by dressing in a manner that makes you think you appear young and perhaps even hip. But, you tend to come off looking a little gaudy in pink Juicy Couture track suits. Personally, I blame your friends. You are all hanging out together at the same bars, shopping at the same stores, and reinforcing what is, to my admittedly untrained eye, a disastrous fashion trend. Flashy is not always the way to go, and sometimes trying to dress young will only emphasize to others that you are not. I am, in general, a fan of outre fashions. Further, I am perhaps not the best person to distinguish for you the difference between chicly avant-garde and eye-poppingly gaudy, having recently purchased a purple velvet blazer. I guess, the best advice I can give to you is to not try so hard, because it just makes you look like you are trying so hard, and that is never an attractive thing.

Your friend,

Flower

A friend of mine has clown fear.

One of the most surreal nights of my life was at a clown-themed art exhibit in Waco. A friend's ex-girlfriend talked us in to going: "These guys are crazy, everybody there's so much fun." We took her at her word at attended a la college.

The paintings alone were disturbing enough. Clowns wearing gas masks, clowns placing tornado magnets under mobile homes. Even worse, we stood out, Due to the insularity of the Waco art community, or perhaps our youth and permagrins. I was holding together well until people tried to actually talk to us, or rather my usually articulate friend.

Waco Art Patron: So what do you think of the show?

Usually Articulate Friend: I think it's great.

WAP: Which piece do you like the best?

UAF: Uh, I think they're all pretty good.

We were invited to an afterparty and we were assured that it would be mellow. After stopping for beer at a gas station with a loudly playing police scanner, we arrived at the party. There were a couple of guys in the yard playing catch with an ax.

The artist took us on a tour of his garage studio. Instead of clowns, the motif seemed to have changed from clowns to mangled bloody baby dolls. Baby dolls impaled on antlers. Baby dolls embedded into dashboards. All viewed to the spoken word recordings of a collaborative effort called Big Snuff and a 10-year old kid in clown makeup separating the clear ice from the cloudy ice in the beer tub.

After the party ended, we toured Waco looking for a hotel. No rooms were available because of a skeet shooting tournament in town that weekend. At the outskirts of town, the parking lot of the Mardi Gras Motel seemed to be empty except for a couple of large dark Mercedes sedans. The door to one of the rooms was open and I could see several bright photograpy-style lamps set up and a couple of scantily clad women running around the room, giggling.

As I approached the front office, a man got out of one of the sedans and intercepted my path. "All the rooms are full. You need to go somewhere else," he told me. He pointed to another hotel. "Go to that one over there. It's very nice. Tell them Luis sent you, they'll give you a good deal." The other hotel had not heard of Luis, and we were forced to continue down the road.

I have not been to Waco since. But I still enjoy clowns.

I can't clarify, em is always watching. Suffice it to say that your declaration that you "know" Atticus and Atticus "knows" you, is not going to go over well...except for those FB'ers who bet the under on whether or not AG has "known" a woman in the past 4 years. Pay up suckers.

I think it's spelled Wacko.
At least that's how it's pronounced.
I went to a Halloween party very similar to this except instead of baby dolls, insert dismembered Barbie and Ken dolls. Everywhere. Hundreds of them. Fake blood. And after several drinks, in walks a half man half woman. Bizarre he had shaved half of an obviously full beard and put together a freakish dress/commando outfit to finish off the look.
