Lusticon #6 - An Ode to Fashion Week

naughtycal - (v.) The new sailor/pirate look that's becoming prevelant, replete with jolly rogers, various ropey tying devices and ruffled pinafores. And not the H.M.S. Made extra water tight, these outfits are the farthest thing from what a REAL pirate (or naval officer) would wear. sample usage - "With those barely there swashbuckling pants and a tightly clasped officers jacket, Jennifer was looking positively naughtycal"
country humpkin - (v.) A deliciously Daisy/ Dukes of Hazzard look wherein lumberjack print is the new leopard, and pigtails the new hair-do. Decidedly naive, works best when looking unintentional, like you really did fall off the turnip truck. Daisy Dukes and pink plaid shirts a mandatory. sample usage - "Dressed in a pair of shortie overalls with no shirt and rubber boots, Mary Jane pulled off the country humpkin look with ease!" (Caution - not to be confused with the cuntry humpkin, who is not so naive.)
zapatista fashionista - (v.) The Seattle WTO look with a bit of class. Large aviators, biased haircut, and a penchant towards cargo pants and high heels. Usually accented with a large purse filled with manifestos, buttons promoting veganism and a stun gun. sample usage - "Illona Shwartzmann was putting up anti post labour day white posters yesterday at the organic market.. she's such a little zapatista fashionista with her bandana across her mouth!"
