Nice dress, nasty knees.

Would you settle for a zigzag?

I know, right? Except that it's a horrid, dreadful and hideous dress.

Still, I'm little surprised Ms. Beckham allowed so bright a light to shine on her eating-disordered knees in such a high-risk environment for avant-la-photoshop publication. She really doesn't look at all well, quite apart from the ensemble. Poor little emaciated and probably brainwashed thing.

IIRC, the spicy desire to really really really wanna zigazig ha reflects the awesome dimension of Scary's intellectual and improvisational talent at its apogee. So god only knows what it would take to satisfy it.

I myself dearly love an asymmetrical hemline, however. In fact, I sorta wish I'd gone fully Comme des Garcons during the brief period in which neither was being that spendy wrt clothing yet anathema to me nor was I yet as stylishly impecunious as I now have long since been. But only sorta. And certainly not enough to wanna go back and really really really change a zigazig thing, even were I able to.

So it's all good, actually. Apart from the former Posh's dress and knees and presumed state of mind, of course. To which those thighs speak with almost as much figurative volume as they literally lack. So it almost goes without saying, really.

Which doesn't have a bird in it, though he did do other less compelling ones that do.

Its title is "Let's Eat Out." Yet, somehow, I feel that it isn't intended to make you picture her moving away from that hot oven. Which is a little anxiety-provoking, to be honest. Though that could just be me.

Yummy! That's a great Elvgren! And the pin-up theme reminded me of one of my favorite pinups of all time, by Art Frahm, which, happily does have a bird involved, and in a most sexualized fashion:

Yeeeaah. He's hungry and after her cherry.
