The lovely Moonspinner, at Dust Jacket Attic creates the most beautiful montages of art, fashion, and anything else that inspires her. Sometimes one of her posts will focus on a particular color. Today I have decided to take a leaf out of her book and create a montage of my own based on the color orange. Think of it as my homage to Summer.
For those of you not living in the UK, here in England we have an orange flavored soft drink called Tango. Funny thing about Tango, a lot of A-list celebrities kind of resemble it. Why do the super rich insist on being Oompa Loompas? If someone could explain this to me, I would be most grateful. In the olden days, people would show off pale skin as a status symbol. It was their way of saying, “Look, unlike you, I don’t have to toil in the fields, that is why my skin is lilly white.” I assume that stars of today are trying to communicate, “Hey, I holiday in St Tropez, because I am super rich.” Here’s the thing, if you sunned in St Tropez you would be a lovely honey brown, not freakishly Tango.
Cases in point:
This post was actually inspired by the above Jamie Oliver picture which was taken this week. W Magazine posted it on Twitter.
I actually think Victoria Beckham is super stylish, but this just does not suit. Check her out sitting next to the snow white Dita Von Teese.
Yes, so you see, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are…
… or how young you are.
Nobody is safe from the Tango monster. Especially if you are super rich. And now my darlings, for the worst offender of the Tango set:
