Comments on: Because Brenda Dickson Is Here to Make Us All Fashionable. http://hyacinthgirls.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/because-brenda-dickson-is-here-to-make-us-all-fashionable/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:05:50 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Fiesty Red http://hyacinthgirls.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/because-brenda-dickson-is-here-to-make-us-all-fashionable/#comment-251 Fiesty Red Thu, 01 May 2008 16:10:54 +0000 http://hyacinthgirls.wordpress.com/?p=149#comment-251 I don't know what I love most about Brenda: her residence in the boardertown of Insane High Fashion, or her devotion to her own advice. After all, anyone who shows up to court with rosy plum lips and fights for her 11 boxes of wardrobe is a serious Grand Dame of Fashion. Ah, what we could learn by sitting at her feet! So many good one-liners in this poem that it's in danger of becoming absorbed completely into my daily vocabulary. Do take out your eyes. The entire piece reads like Proverbs (the Proverbs of High Fashion, if you will).

I couldn't get it to work in my Poem of Fashion/Fashion Poem. It works so well with the "eat no fat" commanding. I think I will transcribe the entirety of Brenda Dickson's "Welcome to My Home" video and post it on our blog. I think it should serve as a writing prompt in every creative writing class across the country. The repetition here is PERFECT. I couldn’t get it to work in my Poem of Fashion/Fashion Poem.
