I relish an excuse for theme dressing<\/a>. You can count on me to wear a heart dress on Valentine’s Day<\/a>, an earring from an ’80s Madonna video to a Madonna concert<\/a> and Gaga rings to a Lady Gaga concert<\/a>. When MrB retired from his job at the Wall Street Journal in 2007, I wore a Wall Street Journal top.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I was thrilled to see Teija Vesterbacka, who is married to a top executive of Angry Birds<\/a>-maker Rovio, wearing an Angry Birds gown<\/a> to a formal event at the Finnish Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love Angry Birds, though I call it “Killing Pigs.” If MrB sees me looking at my iPhone very intensely, he asks me if I’m killing pigs. We say that even though the Rio<\/a><\/em> version of Angry Birds is pig-free: the angry birds alternate between killing monkeys and freeing fellow birds from cages.<\/p>\n

Peter Vesterbacka, the Rovio guy, likes to wear a red Angry Bird hoodie<\/a>. Obviously, he couldn’t wear that to a palace event, so Teija represented for them both. I’ve seen some online commenters complaining that the dress isn’t chic. They’re suffering from a severe case of Not Getting It. This dress is greater than a Wear What You Want<\/a> moment. It’s a Wear What Makes You Rich moment! Even more awesome! Teija joins Iggy Pop<\/a>, Cate Blanchett<\/a> and Helena Bonham Carter<\/a> as one of my Wear What You Want icons. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
