Who wears these clothes?

Last minute alert for your social calendars: The third annual Sashion Flow (get it, ha-ha) event is happening tomorrow, September 8 at Soo Visual Arts Center. What a great way to combine clothes- and art-making, as I know you Minneapolitans so love to do. The featured designers include Annie Larson and, one of my new faves, House of Henry. You can spy the HoH fall line here. But I’m telling you, it pales in comparison to the upcoming Spring ’08 collection, for which I received a “look book” earlier this week. If I had the scan skilz, I’d be sharing, I promise. But alas, ineptitude has caused my being barred from the office Epson. However, I will now demonstrate my dazzling powers in describing, with words, my two favorite outfits: 1) Red dress of stretchy cotton with Donna Karan-style cutout from the cleavage to, oh, the bottom of the sternum. 2) Unforgiving, ultra-short yellow romper with “trouser” detailing and a sweetheart neckline that’s gathered by three white buttons. Of course, this means I’ll be spending my winter on weight watchers.

In fact, much as I love these clothes, they call to memory a lyric that was once sung by my best friend Andrea (a singer and cabaret artist) who unearthed this chestnut while preparing an entire clothes-themed cabaret.

Who Wears These Clothes
from The Times, music by Brad Ross, lyrics by Joe Keenan

Who wears these clothes
And in that size
I mean, who’s got the dash
Or the cash
Or the thighs

…

Who wears these clothes
And where can I find them in
