Too bad the poses are so ridiculous because those sweaters are actually nice!

I think I am a little too familiar with the last pose....

abso-freakin'-lutely HI-larious!

Model no. 1 bears an uncanny resemblance to Sandra Bullock. What on earth is that ghostly blob next to poor, bored Sandra?

I don't know what is more freaky, the poses or the Twilight Zone lighting.

This is what happens when art photograghers realize that they need a real career.

None of these girls have hair that I would ever want. I can only imagine the numbers of empty AquaNet cans rolling about the floor after this photo shoot.

Armpit sniff girl looks like she's being enveloped by the "the companion" from the old Star Trek episode Metamorphosis. The only thing she's missing is her scarf.

Talk about your flood pants on Yoga girl. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw her was she's posing in one of those "tampon stances" we've seen before.
The art direction is strange..foreground elements hide the faces of the models in 3 of the pictures. Maybe, the "models" didn't want to be recognized!

Clearly the Kennedy era was a distressing time for women wearing knit. Taken collectively, they all seem so... FORLORN.
Maybe their Stepford Wives batteries are winding down... they know the end of their time is nigh.

Model number 3 looks like she's quietly trying to make number 4.

Did model #2 (the armpit sniffer) just notice that wasp nest on her shoulder?????
Posted by: Barb | Jun 13, 2007 5:40:19 PM
#1 and #8 could also be titled "Oh WHY is the ladies' room line so long?"
Posted by: catlady | Jun 13, 2007 8:24:56 PM
hilarious as always!
Posted by: Julie | Jun 15, 2007 10:32:42 AM
Wow! Back at the top of your game, gals!
Collectively, I think this is "The Ingmar Bergman Collection." Or maybe Irving Bergman. Either way, sexually ambiguous model in red is discovering that the wall behind her is made of jello, and her companion likes it that way.
I think you're right about the mothership, but I would have titled that one, "oh look, a safe."

that is a model pose jamboree

Just how old is that pantyhouse that the photographer (on loan from Penthouse Magazine) has stretched over his camera lens?
Posted by: Kathryn | Jun 16, 2007 2:39:34 AM
#3 is really doing a discreet little crotch scratch while cleverly diverting attention elsewhere.
Posted by: beastarzmom | Jun 16, 2007 7:48:40 PM
It IS strange how many of those sweaters are ones I would wear. Perhaps the weird poses make us focus on the clothes?

You guys are so funny! Um, anyone else dig the hair do on tequila girl?
Whoever made the Star Trek™ reference rocks.

This site is no fun anymore. Nobody maintains it...sigh.
Posted by: barb | Jun 24, 2007 10:39:13 AM
Um...I really want to knit the blue sweater. I'll have to stop laughing first, of course.
Posted by: Kate | Jun 24, 2007 1:19:54 PM
I covet the mothership sweater.... Do you think she left it behind when it picked her up???
Posted by: KateMet | Jun 25, 2007 2:20:53 PM
You can never have enough hats, gloves, and shoes.
Posted by: Case | Jun 29, 2007 3:11:39 PM
that last one is on the cover of the band the white octave's album "no. 6312". (alternate pose) i think that is also sweater "no. 6312". mmmmm. soooo emo.

The "Why Yes, I Do Practice Yoga":
Why, yes, I did audition to be a Bond-babe.

I just found your site and OMG LOVE the pic with the caption about pulling her quad. Such an athlete she is :)

I linked to your blog from Linda's "Whatever is on my mind today" and I have to tell you I had my hand over my mouth reading the captions on the pictures. See I'm at work and they kinda discourage laughing at your computer....that means you aren't doing any work! :) But thanks for the laugh...your captions were so dead on!
Posted by: Carolyn | Jul 23, 2007 5:43:09 PM
The "Hey, what's over there?" pose looks strikingly similar to the "Exhibit A: How To Pee In The Woods And Still Look Stylish" stance. Not that I know about stylishly peeing in the woods or anything. Ahem.

Oh my God, I had that book or those books, and knitted at least three of those sweaters! I'm giving away my age aren't I?
I knitted #1 as a Christmas Present to my ex-Sister-in-law in apricot. Then Number 7 for myself in a heather green with wool skirt matched to the yarn. Let's see, this had to have been in 1962 or 1963! Yikes!

That was hysterical--you're a hoot!

Is it just me, or do most of those models look like creepy mannequins?

Hello,
While I was aimlessly browsing yesterday night, I came across a dating site, which had profiles
from my country/state.
I registered for free with them.
Btw, the site was http://datesandcams.com
Within half hour or so, I was able to get in touch with 10-15 girls within my locality.
I could not believe this.
I got hooked with some of the pretiest girls, whom I would never dare to aproach directly.
What I want to know is, how are the promoters of this site, able to provide service for free?
I wouldnt mind paying for such a great site too.
