I don't know what is up with people wearing dresses that either look alive, or like simulations of living things -- first Madonna picked something that looks like she stitched it together out of patches of rough she ripped up from alongside the fairway at St. Andrews, and now singer Colbie Caillat has hit the red carpet in this:

I can't even decide what this reminds me of -- it evokes, slightly, about ten different things, three involving terrible jokes about a possible girlhood obsession with Pete's Dragon and one of which evokes disturbing mental images of someone violating the sanctity of Kermit the Frog. I'm also tempted to ask if she built this out of the carpet that lay in her parents' TV room in the 1970s; if she has taken Martha Stewart's love of the versatility of succulent plants too much to heart; whether this dress was made out of white bread three days ago; or if she's nervous that some antsy NFL fans will mistake her for artificial turf, throw her down, and attempt to run a tight-end screen. Although at least the latter could turn into an interesting first date.
