Sarah Wynter just guest-starred on Flight of the Conchords and surprised me with how funny she can be. Tragically, though, I am no longer laughing.
It's one thing to wear leggings under a knee-length dress -- you know how I typically react to that needless deployment of stretch-cotton -- but it's quite another to then bring a purse that appears to be made out of THE EXACT SAME FABRIC as your frock. As in, it looks like she either bought them to match, or thought to herself, "I love this dress so much, I just want to throw my cell phone, my lipstick, my breath mints, my Chapstick, my compact, my tiny umbrella I got for free at Fashion Week that time, my car keys, my hand lotion, my emergency magazine for if I get stuck somewhere with nothing to do, my crumpled and barely legible receipts from the grocery store for the past year, my Gap reward coupons that expired two months ago, and my old abandoned pen caps into it, and carry it forever!" Which... okay, if that's her happy ending, I guess I should take a page from the Vivica A. Fox book of phraseology and choose not to hate, but rather congratulate. Although I'd feel better about it if she tore off the leggings and stuffed those in there too.
