If by work you mean does it make me want to have sex with her the answer is yes.

Shouting Thomas said...

@Eric

That's a pretty confused message, what with the thong visible through the dress and the feet crossed.

Looks like trouble to me.

deborah said...

lol ST. Are you sure you're not rh?

No, Bat, on the fashion level.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

And.....while she is standing there in her impractical shoes, all alone in a deserted looking street, wearing clothing that just screams..."I have money"....oblivious to her surroundings, staring at a meaningless text message on her expensive mobile device, a mugger is slooooowly creeping up behind her and....WHAM..knocks her down, steals her goods.

Surprise :-)

It says "heavy use" to me, but I would be straining to look as much as possible.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Assuming she isn't a "working" girl, it says High Maintenance to me.

I was pondering... just the other day: I don't care for lace.

Cute hair, though.

Purse Large Enough to Carry Three Fresh Thongs, a Blue Wig, Lipstick, Condoms and a Packet of Moist Towelettes.

Shouting Thomas said...

I was always up for that kind of trouble when I was a kid.

Now that I'm an Old Dawg, it's just too damned much work for the pussy.

betamax3001 said...

Of Course, I Thought the Poll Was Going to Be: Is This a Man In Drag?

Lace Decoy.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

She forgot to put her skirt on.

It is a Photo of Johnny Depp on the Set of His New Film: "He Works Hard For the Money."

betamax3001 said...

In "He Works Hard For the Money" Depp Plays a Confused Transsexual Hooker Torn Between Gwyneth Paltrow as the Lonely Widow at the Cafe and Brad Pitt as the Pimp Wanting to Get Out of the Business.

Sarah Jessica-Parker Plays the Character "Earl", a Man Dressed as a Woman Who Likes to Be Fed Carrots.

When I first selected this pic I didn't realize it was see-through, but went ahead after I knew. Yeah, it's trashy. But other than that, it works very well.

Guildofcannonballs said...

Lumberg fucked her.

deborah said...

Lace is nice, but I never wear it.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

She does look really sexy. So if sexy is the answer- yes it works. It borders on trashy but in our culture, not by much. She's tame compared to most of the youth pop stars.

betamax3001 said...

Originally Intended to Be an Edgy Drama, the Producers Changed Course and Decided That Johnny Depp's Character Must Get a Happy Ending.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

It might work....depending on where you are and what you are doing. It looks pretty trashy to me, especially in the setting of the photo. At a NYC night club where you are out strutting your slut....I mean stuff. Ok. In most other areas of the US, it just says. Slut.

betamax3001 said...

Re: "So if sexy is the answer.."

Sexy is Always the Answer.

She Is Waiting For Me, Her Chauffeur. When She Takes Off Her Sunglasses and Makes Eye Contact in the Rear-View Mirror I Know it is Time to Play "Parking Garage."

Trooper York said...

It works for her because of her body. Very, very few woman can pull off that look. Or make men want to pull off while they look at her. Just sayn'

ricpic said...

What doesn't work on young and nubile?

Trooper York said...

You could translate this into plus size. You would just have a skirt underneath down to a couple of inches above the knee cap and give her a lot of cleavage because most plus ladies have the girls that they can show. Of course you would need a lot of confidence to wear such an outfit so it would be an extremely limited market.

ricpic said...

It's the Holland Tunnel look!

Trooper York said...

Also the look only works because of her hair coloring and skin tone.

It would be a disaster on a strawberry blond or a redhead.

Even Joan Holloway could not pull it off.

Trooper York said...

Lot's of guys have a Morticia Adams or Natasha Fatale thing going on.

Synova said...

"What doesn't work on young and nubile?"

This.

And also with the hair and coloring like Trooper said.

She looks confident, like she knows what she's doing with her clothes and stuff, but that might be because of the ugly hand-bag. I've never understood the ugly hand-bag thing.

Trooper York said...

I want to thank you Deb for giving me a new series for my blog.

Does this work?

MamaM said...

I read the original question as "Does this work?", without realizing there was the "Is it trashy?" subquestion lurking underneath.

What do I see? A post building on the success of Trooper York's infamous "Whose that Girl" crossed with the appeal of Althouse's borrowed dog posts, for a new crowd pleasing presentation of "Does this work?".

MamaM said...

Darn it! It takes me too long to type. I was here First!!!

Trooper York said...

Does this work?

I think simple works best.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Wait, so you're looking at her clothes?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Honestly, she's got a smart black haircut with sunglasses and as far as anyone can tell a decent face to go with the body so whatever else she wants to drape herself in black in is fine.

And the setting is urban. It works.

As far as the diagonal runs of flesh up the thighs go I've never been one to see nudity or female (or male) sexuality as pathological so you're asking the wrong person. I know a lot of women feel that they can't feel better than other women unless they can castigate them as too overtly sexual so that's just their thing. It's never been something I got or sought to justify. Yes, it can be exploited as a cheap way to get attention but it's not like women advertise their decent personalities or brains as loudly as they do/can their bodies so there you have it.

ad hoc said...

I would say yes because the sheerness of the skirt is balanced by the length. It doesn't jump out at you as really trashy. Being thin helps.

William said...

It's very difficult for a good looking woman to subvert her sex appeal. After years of trying, Sinead O'Connor has finally succeeded. It's wasn't the tats or shaved head that put her over the top. It was the extra pounds.

deborah said...

A red letter day for me, my post is deemed the progeny of Althouse and Trooper :/

It's really Project Runway and my crazy fashionista self :)

deborah said...

Fashionista tip: if your underwear show, it's trashy :)

edutcher said...

Depends.

If you mean the general fashion statement, yes; if you mean with her nose stuck in the smartphone, no.

deborah said...

Yeah, Syn. I wouldn't call the bag ugly, but it looks cheap in the photo.

deborah said...

Ed, the yellow phone makes the outfit!

rcocean said...

Is that a woman? Look at the man hands and those forearms and biceps.

Trooper York said...

Debbie you just made me throw up in my mouth.

Don't do that I have a bum ticker.

deborah said...

lol

bagoh20 said...

I just came from Home Depot and noticed 2 people that made me think of gratitude:

1) A young very fit woman wearing the tightest possible outfit where she looked nearly naked. I could even tell her choice in waxing (landing strip) She got everyone's attention as intended.

2) A large young man who was an employee stocking shelves yelled out loudly for everyone to hear: "Home Depot sucks!"

And he's a member of the racial group with the highest unemployment rate in a state with one of the highest unemployment rates.


Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

I would expect the Home Depot in LA has pole dancers in there... right?

I once yelled "Home Depot Sucks" inside a local Home Depot. Strangely, a short time after that I noticed improved customer service.

In fact during the great flood of 2013, [where B-town received 18 inches of rain in 5 days-- We get 18 inches per year.] I called the local Home Depot the first morning after the flood to see, if by chance, I'd get a human on the other end of the line and if they had any pumps left. To my surprise I got through and I asked the guy on the phone, knowing most roads were closed and it was a nightmare outside.. "How did you get into work this morning?"... and he answered "We've been here all night. We never left."
... wow. I then asked him if he needed anything.

MamaM said...

Hmmm...If shortening commenter names (Syn, Ed, Bags, Debs) is the fashionable thing to be doing here, then Inga herself could be In! With Ritmo as Mo! How cool is that on as "Does this work" thread?

The Dude said...

Where do I place my dollar bill?

deborah said...

No, MamaM, Rits; and Bags, that's old news :)

Don't worry, wasn't planning on Mams, although.........nah.

deborah said...

April, you are a sweetie.

Bago, I congratulate you on your good luck.

MamaM said...

Don't worry, wasn't planning on Mams, although.........nah.

Good! That would be a Bor!

Phil 314 said...

An interesting juxtaposition of comments:

Fashionista tip: if your underwear show, it's trashy

Depends.

deborah said...

:)

sakredkow said...

Chripes, yes.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

How's that for a coincidence? I just came from Home Depot. I was looking for cheap ways to make a set of parallelettes, mostly for pushups.

There were no hot women but there was a surprisingly large number of guy couples speaking various foreign languages.

None of them were homos, so far as I could tell.

But I had no reason to browse the paint department and that's where you'll find the homos.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Just in case anyone cares, the leading contender is the 8x8x8 concrete block which comes in at an astounding $1.55 each or something like that. It'll take two. All I'm looking for is a wide hand position and a deep stretch. That ought to do it.

Still, I kept looking longingly at the oak hand rails.

Some day, baby . . . someday.

deborah said...

Keep a song in your heart, Bat.

Titus said...

I mean really, even I would fuck her.

rhhardin said...

Spending on dresses is probably her hobby.

bagoh20 said...

The common cinder block has to be the best deal in the world. I just put up a wall 6 ft high next to my house and the material cost less than lunch. Labor was a different story. That wall will last forever unchanged if it's not torn down by someone in the future.

Titus said...

Troop I am so happy to hear you are recovering and hopeful you still have moops.

And Mamam I hope those old droopy low hanging, patriotic, gay hating republican tits of yours are holding up.

tits.

MamaM said...

Smooches to you Titus. My magical tits provide succor to all who ask. Unfortunately, you're not on the list, due a severe deficiency of integrity, charm and character.

Keep trying though. One of these days you may become so adorbs someone will buy your story.

My pick-up lines...

Unknown said...

She's gorgeous, and her stance is very appealing. She carries herself exceptionally well. That said, it looks like she forgot to put on her dress.
