Cow nipples!

Now with 10% Yak!

.-.-.-.-.-.

But now a dress, fashioned from 3,000 cow and yak nipples (90 per cent cow and 10 per cent yak), has caused even more outrage.

The provocative piece - created from patches of cattle hide recovered from tanneries - was revealed at London Fashion Week by British designer Rachel Freire last Monday and is now set for the Paris catwalk.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I just had to look. The world of art seems to be deteriorating. That thing is hideous even if one didn't know how it was made. There are standards of beauty that are timeless. Everything doesn't constitute art despite the yearnings of our leftist friends.

I suggest that bad taste is bipartisan. Just remember that you guys have to claim Ted Nugent and Wayne Newton. The left is claimed by Lady Gaga (although I'm not sure it claims her). I'm sure there are examples throughout the political spectrum of both hacks and geniuses who call themselves artists.

I didn't think much of her, but hearing her with Tony Bennett I now think she is talented. I would like to hear her sing more classic song book stuff, rather than her pop stuff. Ted I still enjoy. I saw him in Oakland Stadium back in the seventies. I sort of remember that concert, but a lot of it remains quite fuzzy. I do recall an argument with my girlfriend Donna in the parking lot. I still play some Ted and the Amboy Dukes on occasion.

The fashion world has always been ridiculous and bizarre. Remember the "surgical craze"? Skinny models strutting up and down the runway wearing surgical gowns and face masks as stupid rich people stroked checks for insane amounts of money to buy the crap?

The dress of nipples is just the latest example of what those lunatics really do with their money-----create a handful of jobs employing cocaine snorting, gay fashion designers.

It looks like you and Kathleen Parker might be on the same piece of sheet music. I suppose that you have heard Linda Ronstadt's work with Nelson Riddle (You have to concede that Jerry Brown had good taste). Of course, she sounds good whether she is covering Cole Porter or Mick Jagger.

I would also recommend to you "De-Lovely" the musical bio of Cole Porter with the supremely talented Kevin Kline in the lead role. There are plenty of talented folks performing his songs in the film, including Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, and his old lady, Diana Krall. Besides the great music, Ashley Judd is stunning.
