                                                  Well, it sure looks like something does.

    I thought it said "hot dogs don't scare me". I think I need to get my eyes checked again. The picture with the caption "take a day off for no reason at all" made me laugh out loud. Those shorts! UGH. If that's all you have to wear, you have no business going to work. You need to get some new clothes immediately.

      generally the current definition of work-appropriate makes me wonder just what these people did to pay for college.

      no, it doesn't - and it kept reminding me of something, somewhere, I'd seen that girl, that expression, that pose... finally got it, and have updated the post.

    It looks like buttons and meals scare her! I thought it said hot dog too:)

      my first reaction was that she was having a walking nightmare.

    Hot dog here, too. My mind put that together with room in the shirt for her to grow to a size zero if she ate hot dogs! She certainly fears....something?

      I believe she may be dramatizing the fear of marauding Albanians. See update to post.

    Hello,

    Well, never mind the shirt, the hot days or the hot dogs for that matter, this model scares us to bits! She has a malevolent look in her eye and appears not to have eaten in months. She would surely tear us from limb to limb if she got within striking distance!

      Hello, Hattatts, she does look like she's gearing up to deliver a hissing curse, doesn't she?

    Thanks for the laugh y'all. That is one strange way to sell a chambray shirt.

      Ugh, I just got another email from Madewell. This one claims that my closet wants a tote bag. It should get together with the first email and let the starving girl have the tote bag, to carry food.

    My mom was a big believer in smiles costing the least but doing the most. I wonder why it has become so unfashionable to smile.

      Or at least to look pleasant. If snarling models become a trend, what's next?

As Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, if you've got anything bad to say, sit next to me! No, really, please remember to be kind, and don't say anything fred's mother would not approve of (Diner's mom didn't approve of anything. Including fred.)
