Hey, ruffles per se are not a bad thing.

Yet those ruffles, yeah, not a fan of them.

You know I come here to hate on Tom and Jerry each and every time, and even after a couple of years (two or so? don't know) my hate still hasn't subsided.

They can't work with colour, obviously, too much powder there and my Nono Valentino was always such a master with delicious colouring.
They can't work with embellishments, it's either too much or nothing at all and it always looks silly and gimmicky, not like something someone (even if this is cotoure) would want to wear.
Ah, that's the main problem, they're so entirely uncovetable. What would you want out of those lace-ruffle-messes? If they'd give me one as a gift and I should choose, I'd still leave empty-handed.

Plus, I really don't want to be that new Valentino-Girl they're endorsing so feverishly, that flat-chested paleface of a mere fourteen years who seems to be much more of a fairy dressed in rags but a woman. As if that's who ends up buying Valentino. You can keep on sending those gowns to twenty-something Hollywood starlets, but the customer of this house used to be different. Way to f*ck with them, seriously.
