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 eyesshould be traced with flecks of your heart’s
char, rimmed with hallowed ash, kohledwith the cold calm of the righteously wicked.
It may sound commercial, but it makes youbetter. It’s a great look.
It’s really all you need when you want.

Now, Bret Michaels does have the ability to play the guitar. He can play it just as well as your Unspeakably Cool Cousin plays it outside on the porch when he visits during the holidays after his parents and your parents and all of the other grown-ups have gone to bed, and your Unspeakably Cool Cousin plays and talks about Jimmy Page, whom you secretly despise, but you respond to your cousin’s blatherings about Jimmy Page the same way you respond to blatherings on Ernest Hemingway (whom you also secretly despise), and that is by saying, “Yes, [insert man name here] is a man who worked extremely hard on his craft, and no one can deny him that,” and you are happy with your statement, for it is neither negative nor positive, so you do not feel as if you’re lying and pretending to be someone other than yourself, but — and this is purely hypothetical — if you were 
yearning to be someone other than yourself, you’d be yearning to be someone one tenth of one percent as cool as your Unspeakably Cool Cousin, because, even though both of you turn thirty this year, and now that your clothing screams FASHION! and your wit is as sharp as a brand-new switchblade and you have read every single thing Dave Eggers has ever thought of writing and can discuss it for great lengths of time with great enthusiasm, you still feel like Super Dork of the Universe when beside your Unspeakably Cool Cousin, who has now moved from talking about Jimmy Page to talking about the prison fight that almost kept him from being released last week, and you listen with wondrously rapt attention because, even though you are fully aware that you will never be able to touch the coolness that is your Unspeakably Cool Cousin, you enjoy being given the opportunity to look right into the Glorious Face of Great Coolness once or twice a year because it is so much better than never being able to be in its presence at all.
hat was exhausting! Back to Bret Michaels. So I cannot defend the hottness factor of Bret Michaels by speaking of his musical talent. I can, however, defend Mr. Michaels’s hottness by saying that, even though he may not be king of the guitar, he is most, most certainly the King of Fashion. Our Lady of the Most Fashionably Fashionable Fashion Brenda Dickson tells us: Fashion is something that is acquired by looking at a lot of different fashions. Mr. Michaels takes this wondrous quote and makes it his own, which is this: Fashion is something that is acquired by trying out a lot of different fashions. Some fashions are, understandably, a lot more fashionable than others. See the Metamorphosis of Bret Michaels’s Fashion below. Note the photos in which Mr. Michaels bears an uncanny resemblance to a) a Raw Eddie Murphy and b) Kid Rock (those being examples of Bret’s unfashionable moments).
