on the Red Carpet, when you've finally decided that you're fed up with the whole vanity and vapidity thing, the inane worship of celebrity?

So, what to wear? This:
Doesn't Cate Blanchett's get-up look as though it has been crafted from a re-purposed, vintage afghan? How totally environmentally AND politically relevant. How cheerfully irreverent! Look at the smile on her face - she is having a good time with this fashion "faut-pas". As in: Il ne faut pas ...

That is one weird-ass dress. But yeah, she looks like she's having fun wearing it.
I remember a line from an old detective novel -- might have been Dashiell Hammett -- detective notes that someone seems to have taken particular offense at his shoes. 'Good', he thinks, 'That's what shoes are for.'
If it had another sleeve, I would wear it. Looks warm and comfy.

OMG! A granny-squares dress! How cool is that? She definitely has ovaries! I love the trim.
I hope that's lined. Large crochet granny squares tend to expose more skin than one might think.
