It’s saying something when Paris Hilton and Kimora Lee Simmons are two of the best-dressed people at an event, but incredibly that’s the situation partygoers found themselves in at Hello Kitty’s 35th anniversary last week.
I suppose when you’re invited to such an event, normal dress code rules kinda go out the window, but when you find yourself looking at Paris Hilton and thinking how sophisticated she looks, it’s time to rethink your outfit.
Yuko Yamaguchi is the head designer at Hello Kitty but I still don’t think that excuses this outfit. Maybe I’m a bitch or something, but I do feel that at some point you have to give up the baby doll dresses, bows and bunches. So shoot me, I’m mean. I don’t care! I don’t think it’s normal to see grandmothers running around dressed like that. SORRY.
Actually one of my big issues is with Yuko’s hair. I have serious beef with long hair, and while to some extent I realise that’s a personal issue that I just have to deal with, I think sometimes, just sometimes, I might be right. Waist length pigtails with bows have to stop when you’re 10. I’m sorry, that’s just the way it is. You don’t look younger, you don’t look cute, you don’t look sexy; you look weird and I fantasise about sitting behind you on a bus one day with a pair of scissors. If that makes me a bad person, I can handle it.
As for the outfit, that freaks me out too. It’s like walking in on your mum and dad dressed as a school girl and a headmaster. Not that that’s ever happened to me (honestly), but I just don’t think it’s cute to see a Catholic schoolgirl dress on a woman of (here it comes, prepare your wrath) ‘a certain age’. Come on wrath, I can handle you!
I know I harp on quite a lot about women wearing what they want and feeling good about it, but I also believe that you have to not look like a walking midlife crisis while you do that. And before you get even more angry with me, she dresses like this EVERY DAY. It’s not right! Grow old disgracefully by all means, but don’t do it by dressing like some weird overgrown child.
