Fashion Humor

for About.com

Two young southern women explain their hospitable approach to a fashionable Web destination: ''Threadbared.com was born out of a love of all things vintage (Mary) and all things snarky (Kimberly) (and, um…okay, Mary too). We combined our fondness for vintage sewing patterns with our need to be bitchy and mean and cruel.''

See nostalgic pattern photographs annotated with the ladies' keen eyes for the unspoken -- and sharp tongues a-waggin' grown-up trash. Here's a swatch:

Be honest. Is there anything sexier than a woman who sews her own lingerie? I can hear the guys now: "Seriously Tom, you should totally go out with Sandra. She has a great personality AND she makes her own panties."

Mary [commenting on a photo of the Scooby-Doo gang]: Why does Velma look so damn smug here? She has a look in her eyes like she just secretly sold Daphne into white slavery and will soon have Fred all to herself. Also, Shaggy - check your hand placement! Getting a little too close to the goods, I think.

Kimberly: Shaggy? Check out Fred. He's already going for it.

Oh, my. Why I'm positively getting the vapors! And kicky clothing (and hand placement) tips, too!
