Somewhere In the Universe, Coco Chanel Is Dying All Over Again

Coco Chanel Does Not Approve

Coco Chanel does not approve of this travesty. If she were alive.

At a somewhat upscale department store (think lower than Nordstrom’s but higher than J.C. Penney) and on the way out the door, front and center, were these monstrosities that were selling for $48.

Somewhere in the universe, Coco Chanel is screaming at God that her death allowed this to happen.  It would not have been possible in a world where she lived.  If she were still here, I have no doubt she would personally pour lighter fluid on these moo moos and burn them, condemning them to the seventh circle of hell, where they belong.

The name of these horrors?  “Go Softly”.  I kid you not.  Like … go softly into that great night.  Or rather, just let the depression, obesity, and misery consume you.  That is what it says to me.  Give up on life and just wait around to die as you watch television and ride your motor scooter.

Go Softly Clothing Line

If I owned a department store and anyone dared to buy one of these, I would throw them out and ban them for life. They don't deserve to shop unsupervised.

Gilbert Grape Inspired Fashion

I think it is fair to say that the designer of these (dresses? pajamas?) must have been inspired by the fashion genius of Gilbert Grape's mother in the film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"
