For That Linebacker Look
I can't tell you how many times, while getting ready for a special night out, I have looked in the mirror and thought "Wow. My neck is far too slender. That whole graceful Nicole Kidman swan neck thing is so early zero's. The thick, no neck look is all the rage. Why can't I look more like NFL hero Derrick Brooks ? Why, oh, why am I cursed with this threadlike throat?"
Well, search no more swan necked sufferers...your dress is here.
P.S. I totally don't know the names of any professional football players. I had to look one up at NFL.com.

I have this mental image of her head going in and out of that collar like a turtle.... What were they thinking?!?
Great website, btw. Have you seen www.lileks.com or www.thatperfectlittleblackdress.com? James Lileks has some great commentary on images from the past and TPLBD has a rather large and brilliant collection of patterns.

Bless your heart, I made that dress in citrus green. Thought I looked tres chic, too. And here I always thought my black long sleeve mock turtle neck velour body suit with plastic snakeskin mini skirt and short bolero type vest was the worst 60s outfit I made.

If only it was made of kevlar. That design would stop a few bullets!

Or maybe she was once a turtle, but a scientist fell in love with her and put her brain in a woman's body.
And it's not a decoder ring- it's a ring-pop.
