seriously, back in the olden days things were loads better,at the very least in this regard -- a golden paper dress?!! could a contemporary pin-brained exec even conceive of such a brilliant move, let alone wrap his mind around it? gosh, this is so very awesome. dude, it's golden.
ReplyDeletea few years ago I saw the TWA Clipped Wings (retired TWA flight stewardesses) give a fashion show of TWA flight stewardess uniforms throughout the ages. it was awesome. They had some of the paper dresses, too. Some were even more awesome than this!
