Good Clothes, Bad People

While not putting my life to good use, I discovered this site selling vintage inspired clothing. Not 'vintage' in the sense of classic elegance a la Audrey Hepburn, but sweatshirts and shirts that aren't actually old, but are made to look like they've been in your attic for twenty years, yet still oddly expensive. What's more odd about the site is the models that they employ seem to make their clothes less flattering. And thus, I present to you a game I like to call Cute shirt, Ugly Model.

Cute Shirt:

















AH! Ugly Model:

















Don't get me wrong now. I appreciate their use of non-commercial, healthy, real models as much as the next woman, that's not what's at stake here. And some of their models actually look good in the merchandise, but most of them, well, you'll see:

Nice, demure dress(almost a little to plain):

















One model pulling it off nicely:

















Another, not so much:
(I don't even think she's wearing the same dress)

















Lastly, my favorite contrast. Cute dress:

















#&@!?!? Model:

















Why, people, why!? How is this ever a good idea for selling clothes!?
