Some fashionistas assume Versace always looks like the purple dress below, complete with scary, too-tan makeup. No, there was no time to start over. I had to go out with an orange face and white arms. Shit happens! Get over it. Sometimes peeps have armgina<\/a>, sometimes they have bad makeup.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Orange you glad to see me?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Anyway, over ten years or so, I have accumulated many Versace pieces that no one suspects of being Versace. Be honest now. Would you know my strapless navy-blue cocktail dress was by Donatella?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Please note the beauteous leopard pillow in the background. Woot!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I’ve gotten a lot of wear out of this Pucci-esque dress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I stealthily attended a Pucci-sponsored party in this Versace.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
This Champagne-colored vintage gown went to several lovely parties. However, it needed a few adjustments and I went to a bad tailor who adjusted it so it didn’t fit me. The dress is now on consignment at Frock<\/a> awaiting someone who is very petite on top. And for tailoring, I ONLY go to Jean at Ghost Tailor<\/a> now. She knows how to do things right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nice photo composition here, eh?
Avedon would be jealous.
<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
I wore this red dress to a random party in London last year. I was very happy with the whole look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>I think I peaked that night. It’s been all downhill ever since.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was so sick of flouncy dresses by the end of last summer. I was desperate to wear a suit, and I wore this white Versace suit the day after Labor Day. What a rebel!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The frothy black top is Versace too.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People either love this hairy purple jacket or they hate it. There is no in-between. I love it.<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Me and BarbaraB.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Here I am with my friend Andrea. She’s going to write a book someday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Please forgive me, Patrick McMullan.
This is the only photo I can find of my checked dress.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
I thought this was a Lacroix when I first saw it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>The vintage Versace worn this New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Okay. Maybe you’d guess that the commando pants are Versace.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gray pants are all business from the front, all Donatella from the side.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But this little black dress? You would never know, right?<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Just goes to show that you can’t always judge a line by its runway!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
