WOI - 0038: À LA MODE
[ Panel 1 ]
:: Two fairly average looking women speak of fashion and one of their friends at a very superficial level, as they lay in bed admiring themselves. ::
TRUDY: Did you see Alexandra’s new attire? Where does she get off thinking she is in the know with FASHION this year?
TRUDY’S FRIEND: Oh Trudy, don’t even pretend you know what is À LA MODE.
[ Panel 2 ]
:: Alexandra is wearing a box around her head with a hole for her face in front. It has various embellishments on it and a opening at the top to allow her hair to flow from it. Even her hair has some sort of strange and overly designed look to it. This is the expression of fashion at its core: extreme, pointless and random. ::

I got me a new Halloween costume for 2012.
LOL good luck trying to recreate that horrible looking thing.
It must have been a Haute Couture show. Those hair lips are creepy.
Is Haute Couture one of those designers that creates nonsense? lol
Oh yeah, straight from Paris to Grace Jones back stage costume rack.From the out there

… me likey…
Wow… most all of that is terrible.. i only liked the last one cos it was gothy… other than that… wow…no.
I like the dress, I like the model, I like everything about that last picture. Kind of a classy morbid affair.
More people should dress like that last one.Probably really expensive.
That last panel, she looks kind of like Rowlf. Is there a white piano nearby?.
Who?
Rowlf the muppet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cYq6lSVJew
OH THAT GUYS! I miss that guy. I have a stuffed animal of the baby muppets version of him.
Dr. Teeth 4 life baby! Hell, the whole Electric Mayhem was my favorite thing ever as a little kid.
The fashion world is a strange, mystery world. I don’t plan to go there any time soon… Give me just some plain, ordinary clothes.
You and me both man, you and me both.Though… the fashion industry makes for good villains. ^_~
True, that… it’s not so much a fashion parade, as villains looking for a new suit.
LOL, nice. I like that. :]
I had a feeling that’s what it meant… But the part where restaurants use it to mean they’re going to put ice cream on top threw me off.
Opps.. I didn’t put the full definition. There is a secondary meaning when it comes to food:2. Cookery. A.(Of pie or other dessert) Served with a portion of ice cream, often as a topping: apple pie la mode. B.(Of beef) Larded and braised or stewed with vegetables, herbs, etc., and served with a rich brown gravy.
Sweet! Unintentional correcting!
Thanks. :]
I can only imagine how awkward that girl must have felt wearing a show on her head. Sometimes I wonder if those fashion shows are just ways to humiliate the models, to see how far they’ll go.
