I HEART HERVE LEGER



I LOVE LOVE LOVE 80's/90's HERVE LEGER DRESSES! THE WHOLE IMAGE AND IDEA OF IT IS SO KITSH AND VAMPY. BUT WHAT REAL WOMAN COULD ACTUALLY WEAR THEM? I HAVE SEEN MANY A LADY TRY ONE ON ONLY TO COME OUT LOOKING LIKE A STUFFED SAUSAGE. THE HORROR!!! GIRLS, ONLY CINDY CRAWFORD AND KELLY BUNDY CAN REALLY PULL OFF LEGER ( AND MAYBE VICTORIA BECKHAM TOO!).

SO I DREW THIS LEGER CREATION AS AN ODE TO VALENTINES AND VERONICA LAKE AND PINK-GIRLY-DIVA-NESS. I FEEL THAT IF VERONICA LAKE WERE ALIVE IN THE 80'S SHE WOULD HAVE WORN LEGER. I GUESS KIM BASINGER WAS THE VERONICA LAKE OF THE 80's AND SHE WORE IT, SO IT ALL MAKES SENCE.

(P.S. - IT'S PRONOUNCED 'LAY-SHAY' PEOPLE! I DON'T WANNA HEAR 'LEDGER" ANY MORE! GRRRRRRR . . . )
