Fashion/Style by Liza Van Horne

Oh my goodness - it's an "art" "show", dear readers, and you know what that means! It means every woman who'd ever slept with "Skechers" Romalotti had to put on her party clothes and fly to the Big Apple for the event! That's right - his ex-wife Lily, ex-girlfriend Amber, and recently acquired sex toy Colleen all donned their fanciest duds and showed up to slurp the free champagne and stand around pretending to be important. Imagine how Lily must have felt: on the one hand, she's in a room surrounded by eight gazillion sketches of Amber's naked moley boobs - the very ones that once appeared on her husband's cell phone - and on the other hand, her supposed best friend is hanging all over her ex-husband and practically grabbing his junk right in front of her. If I were Lily, I'd have brought a flask of the hard stuff. A BIG flask. And a straw.

For her participation in this little pageant of awkwardness, Lily was wearing a spaghetti-strapped ivory camisole with rows of scratchy-looking ruffled lace, which were echoed at the hem of her black straight skirt. Now, the problem with this ensemble was primarily that Lily is quite flat-chested and her deflated cami was hanging way too low, recalling Gwyneth Paltrow's infamous cotton-candy pink 1999 Oscar dress. Hitch it up, ladies! If God didn't give you what you need to hold your dress up, don't be afraid to use double-sided tape! What do you think 3M makes it for, anyway?

While Lily chugged the bubbly and made perplexed, disgusted faces at her bobble-headed friend, Amber arrived in a bright blue sequined sleeveless sheath with a squared-off neckline. The dress was perfectly inoffensive, but her platinum locks looked like a Barbie doll's hair might look after two six-year-old girls spent an afternoon playing beauty parlor with great determination and vigor, possibly fueled by a few too many fruit rollups. She had the front portion pulled tightly back into a little ponytail at the top of her head with the back left hanging down, and its texture resembled frayed rope, with long spiral curls disintegrating into flyaways and frizzies. Eh! This, after she'd been last seen in a black leather jacket at the Jitter Joint with her hair pulled sleekly back into a low, neat chignon. The simple hair works so much better for her, but it's just not in Amber's nature to quit while she's ahead. If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!

Porniel, the Putzy Prince of Passionate Pencil Portraits, seemed to be under the delusion that he was in an old John Hughes movie playing the quirky platonic sidekick - you know, the one who always provides a shoulder to cry on when he's not sitting around his shabby bedroom listening to glum emo bands sing about how much everything sucks, and who everybody in the audience assumes is gay although that's never conclusively stated. By which I mean: he chose, as his ensemble for the evening, a white untucked dress shirt under a VERY tight black cardigan with a narrow black tie and a porkpie hat that looked two sizes too small for his increasingly swollen head. You know what? I'll bet he smells like mothballs. Mothballs and eraser-shavings.

(I'm not going to tell you anything about Colleen's hair or costume because the character is a catty, odious little bitch and she doesn't deserve the time it would take for me to comment upon her appearance. I would give a friendly wink and a wave to Tammin Suresucks's three worldwide fans, but they're probably busy posting away hysterically on various message boards about how she does NOT have a Sony benefactor and everybody who says she CAN'T ACT is OMFG Juss Jellus and there's NOTHING WRONG with her obvious Australian accent and anyway, the old Colleen was FAT so there, OMG LOL WHATEVS, H8RS!!11!.)
