CLOTHES-HORSES OF THE ART SCENE

Victorian Lady

Two women wearing identical dresses head toward exchange window at department store.

'We live in difficult times. These underwear don't help one bit.'

'She's so put together!'

"Oh to be young and in love and wear things cut on the bias."

"Most of these pelts were suicides."

"I think I've found the most comfy jeans."

"This is daring, but I like it."

Cat Tie

'I knew there was part of the pattern missing!'

"If the economy's ground to a halt, we can help by carrying on shopping."

'These fit just right. Do you have anything too tight?'

Sir Joseph Porter, KCB, First Lord of the Admiralty HMS Pinafore

"T-shirt weather's coming. How ready are you?"

'At least we look cool. Especially with the wind chill factor.'

'This is too small. Get me a 12...How many times?! I'm a 10 or a 12 on top and a 12 or 14 on the bottom depending on the shop, the cut of the fabric, the ambient air temperature, and the rotation of Pluto...and we always try the 10 first capiche?'

"And now. . . which shoes?"

Man admiring his patterned clothes in the mirror

I like this one. Do you have it in blue?

At the suit makers

"Are you looking to accentuate or camouflage?"

'What are the other nonconformists wearing this year?'

'My diet seems to be working great! Do you have any less relaxed jeans?'

Look At Me I'm Still Wearing Shorts.

"It's black, but it's not New York black."

'I love shopping for clothing I don't need with money I don't have.'

"He'll never grow out of it. It's made of rubber."

"Some fitting room. Nothing fits!"

'Trust me, it's very proper to mix stripes.'

'She dressed herself this morning.'

"Honestly sometimes I'd like to pretend I don't know you!"
