I didn’t watch the Emmy Awards this week, but I did catch some of Joan Rivers’ Fashion Police show afterward.

The thing that really amazes me is that not all the stars on a show like the Emmys look good.  Why do you suppose that is?

These people have more money than any human being should have based on what they do.  And, besides that, clothing designers lend dresses to a lot of the stars just to have their designs seen on TV.

So, why is it that they don’t all look marvelous?  Surely no one makes them wear ugly clothes.  And, they do own mirrors, I would imagine.  Besides that, they probably have a host of “handlers” who are paid to watch their every move and keep them out of trouble.

I can’t remember who was wearing the two dresses that I thought were most amazing.  One looked like a dress someone like me threw together in the hour before the event.  It had a large, blousey, white bib-type front going over one shoulder and a black strap that looked like it had been tacked in at the last minute going over the other shoulder.  Did no one notice she looked awful?

The other one was a crazy-looking thing that was very short in the front and long in the back.  Did it float from front to back in a swirl of color?  No.  It was made out of a material I can’t describe, and looked rather like an upside down teacup with a train.

I know there is a term called “fashion forward”.  I don’t know what it means.  But, I have a word of advice for some of these stars:

Throw it into reverse!
