Now I’m just stupid! I’m so awful!

Here it is, Most Fashionable Reader: the penultimate NaPoWriMoFa (National Poetry Writing Month of Fashion) poem! [I missed a day, and after this post, I am posting the final NaPoWriMoFa poem] And it is a Poem of Fashion! Not a Fashionable Poem, mind you. But — quite literally — a Poem of Fashion. It is inspired by none other than Our First Lady of Fashion / Our Most Fashionable First Lady, Brenda Dickson. Whom you can see in the video below. And, Most Fashionable Reader, you absolutely must must must watch the video below. And when you watch the video below, you will hear many of the lines in the poem below. And when you watch the video below, you will be complete. You will be fashionable.

And that is all for this poemlogue, for Brenda Dickson is really all you need.

One more thing! I must confess that I have appropriated Most Fashionable Vivienne’s Most Fashionable Word “Char” in this poem. But it is used quite unfashionably.

It sounds pretty bad, but you can get used to it, and once you acquire a taste for it, you won’t want anything else.

Start with a clean face, a steel face, a face
so still the breeze won’t know it’s coming.

This is the best advice I could give any woman.
This will be the answer to all your problems.

You’ll need lips, sealed lips, blood
tinted lips, lips glossed with sheered magenta.

They’re used in movies, and they work
well with your blank slate of face. Your eyes

should be traced with flecks of your heart’s
char, rimmed with hallowed ash, kohled

with the cold calm of the righteously wicked.
It may sound commercial, but it makes you

better. It’s a great look.
It’s really all you need when you want.
