Oct. 9th, 2011 05:45 pmIt is spring here, which means the Spring Racing Carnival, which means the shops will be full of things to wear to the races, which means we will be subjected to weeks of hideous puns about the 'fillies' and how good they look, ahahaha. Puns confusing women with horses make me want to stab things.
Anyway, to kick things off, there was a 'what to wear to the races' lift-out in today's paper, a before-and-after sort of thing. Average people in what they wear every day, and then all gussied up in their racewear finery. Most of it was all right, but one page was devoted to three 19-year-olds and, well, they look fine in the 'before' photo.
( Not so much in the 'after' )
The 'after' outfit of the one on the left is okay, it's cute and age-appropriate, although she could pick up TV reception with her fascinator. The one on the right is a lovely dress, but the makeup makes her look twenty years older (and they need to tell her not to slouch). The one on the middle, though, is not being done any favours by that outfit at all, is she?
Photos of the week:
Day 275. Vacancy, Day 275a. Piles of dirt, Day 276. Bobbles, Day 277. Before, Day 277a. After, Day 278. Exciting mail day, Day 279. Sweet pea, Day 280. Window, Day 281. Lotus flower egg poachers
