Ever since 2005, Suzee’s Laundromat in Turner Falls, Massachusetts take a year’s worth of horrible discarded clothes, get their artistic friends to haute-ify them, and get their good-looking friends to put them on and walk up and down the washing machines.
You can tell these photos are from early 2008 because everyone looks happy and fun, and no one has been either of those in America in two years. Or making out. That’s me smiling with lipstick smeared all over my duckbill and off my lip. I was totally still making out in 2008. Weren’t you? Now if any of that is going on, it’s behind closed doors. These days are too grim for smooching. Too grim for cutting capricious ovals into the back of a man’s shirt just because you can.
I know the Zoolander photo is blurry for SBTVC standards, but the mic with red stand looks like a penis coming out of the guy’s pants, and I am very immature and cannot say no to an unintended penis pic.
This year’s show is December 5th. I hope you’ll come! There’s music, too. This performance got only three stars, but hey, if you just go to wash your clothes and see THIS while they’re in the spin cycle, I think it would be five stars.
And THIS one only got ONE star.
I guess you don’t want to hear about, or from, doo doo when you’re cleaning your clothes. Me, I think it’s brilliant.

I remember a few years ago some woman was murdered and they called her a “fashion reporter” I always thought that was strange. a fashion reporter. now Street carnage has one

Street Carnage has at least two. All of Jen’s “stories” are fashion promos.

I’m not a fashion expert, but I don’t think sticking cardboard diamonds to clothes counts as haute-ifying.
I think it’s more junior school craft hour.

Lisa Carver seems to get herself in some pretty great situations. Her stories are the antidote to Jen Hanley’s moronic fashion posts.

To “Failure”: To keep it in the Laundromat theme, incorporating items other than the clothes themselves found in that very same Laundromat (cardboard diamonds cut out of soap boxes, used dryer sheets, etc.) creates haute-o-mat couture.

The pictures are good but don’t do justice to the full spectacle. This event is put on with a fine and fun eye. Some of the women and outfits were astonishing up close. The bar next door is great and simulcasts it on a huge screen.

Fair.
It looks pretty fun regardless.

Matt, you’re just mad because I didn’t get any close-ups of the Asian. Perv.

I agree with Lisa…there’s an abundance of capricious ovals. I’m torn on the cardboard diamonds, though.
12.02.09 at 4:22 pm
at least their re-using discarded things. They don’t have to be super glamorous to have a good time and get at least one more wear out of an article of clothing.

Anonymous- who are you?

It’s me.
12.02.09 at 5:58 pm
oh you seem like a nice lady
12.02.09 at 6:52 pm
Nice is not how they described Lisa in the eighties and nineties.
12.02.09 at 7:47 pm
It wasn’t me! I said that I was posting Anonymously that my own text is “enjoyable.” Now that I see my joke was an obstacle to love …

I would buy a DVD of this year’s show!!! If it included behind the scenes features.
12.02.09 at 9:01 pm
Right on. Good post. No one trying too hard, no one from the teen-steam crew shitting all over my screen, no fucking iPod®+Vocalist bands. A breath of fresh air. Did I spy a nip-slip in one of those photos as well?

one time the dixie chicks had their laundry done while on tour at the same laundry mat I have my clothes washed. I managed to procure a bra, however there was no indication to which chick it belonged to.

lisa carver is kinda cute in a milfish sorta way.
i’d do more than smear your lipstick all over your duckbill. your nice red scarf would be used like a leash, leading you on the catwalk, then you’d suck my cock while looking into my eyes. i’d put you on all fours, stripped naked with nothing but your scarf and fuck you like a black janitor at berkeley. the huge and orgasmic smile from your big, pearly whites would win over the crowd, spreading vibes of happiness ca. 2007.

Hey “bigdickmaster” watch what the fuck you say about other people’s girlfriends or fiancés on a public forum, you dick.
12.03.09 at 9:45 am
He should confine his runway janitor-fucking fantasies to single women? It’s okay to janitor-fuck a woman as long as she is not another man’s possession? Anyway, it’s just an idea Bigdickmaster is janitor-fucking. It’s not me. I janitor-fuck all kinds of people all the time in my mind– married people, retarded ones, I don’t care. I do it to dead bodies, dogs, the devil. Actually I’ve never had a fantasy about a famous person or a writer or a friend or anyone I recognized. I prefer to make them up, that way I have total control over them. Then they can’t, say, surprise me with a bad photo.
12.03.09 at 10:00 am
wait a min, are most of these replies from lisa’s friends? do they all come over and post positive shit whenever she posts? stop harshing the comments, lisa’s insecure boyfriend or whatever you are. you’re ruining things. on the other hand, you’ve just, with your insane insecure reaction, invited every guy on this forum to write crazy, x-rated shit about your girlfriend from here on out, and i’m sure they’ll oblige. good job!
12.03.09 at 10:13 am
No, not just single women – I’m only looking at it from my narrow angle viewpoint and what matters most to me. I don’t want to intrude on another person’s fantasies, but I didn’t feel that his statement was one of fantasy (whether that’s the reality or not) and it assaulted MY mind’s janitor fucking visions/realities. I’m not always rational. Emotion is alive in me. I protect, claim, and proclaim what I value.
12.03.09 at 10:16 am
“Anonymous” @ 10:13 – Good point (about the unintended invitation), but really just how much do I care about what I’ve opened up or invited? Perhaps I’m trolling for those responses. It could be interesting to read. I enjoy crazy writing. I welcome it. I’ll fuck it like a conquering army pillaging an unarmed villager.
12.03.09 at 10:27 am
^^excellent.

Bigdickmaster is my nephew.

I attended a large family reunion when I was fifteen. I met a girl there. We fed apples to the horses on the farm. We put long blades of grass in our mouths. We sat on the post rail fence together. We made out. We were second cousins.
12.03.09 at 10:57 am
after feeding lisa carver my love sauce all over her lipstick-smeared lips, i’d grab KiloDeltaNovember by his wee tiny balls and fuck his wimpy ass like the “conquering army pillaging an unarmed villager” that he fantasizes about cause i’m like that. that’s part of being a bigdickmaster you know.
public forum my ass, whatcha gonna go? track me down and give me a stern-talking-to?
12.03.09 at 2:20 pm
“bigdickmaster”, sauce is all you have – you’re merely a side condiment to delivering fulfillment on the feasting table that is sex. I’m the main fucking course, you closeted butt blaster.
12.03.09 at 2:29 pm
oh so very classy….love it.
