Dress for success

Click image to enlarge
For anyone of a rational disposition, fashion is often nearly impossible to fathom. Throughout many periods of history – perhaps most – it can seem as if the whole impulse of fashion has been to look maximally ridiculous. If one could be maximally uncomfortable as well,
the triumph was all the greater.
― Bill Bryson ―
And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we
have to alter it every six months.
― Oscar Wilde ―
Once upon a time You dressed so fine
― Bob Dylan ―

Oscar Wilde meets Jersey Shore



The cast of a New York production of The Importance of Being Earnest stage scenes using transcripts from Jersey Shore. I've never watched that show, but it doesn't matter, the results are funny none-the-less. Above is Part 1, you can watch all 5 parts at Playbill.com.
