Oh shazaam! These are really nice. I have no hope since mine were taken by small children with crap in the picture. I can’t even imagine what the grand prize winners are going to look like. These are actually beautiful.

The yellow ones actually look great on her legs – just a shame that it looks like the crotch exploded.

There’s a hippie market near here where I could quite easily expect to see numbers 4, 5 and 6.

Numbers 1 and 2 get huge kudos on the strength of their posing! Your skants are completely ridiculous and you still make them work!

i’d say “garden lady” wins this round b/c of the beautiful background “staging” going on in there…
plus she has the regretable etsyan pose…so doesn’t number 1 though LOLL

Texchanchan, I had the same problem after trying on a bunch of my shirts as skants. It made me immune to the atrocity and started me thinking, “not half bad!”

I am right there with you on that. If that upper left one were on project runway, it would so totally win.. and I would agree.

Hell of a lot better than some of the shit on there now. (Maybe Ping could take some lessons?)

Wow maybe I’ve been spending too much time on this site, but some of these really look wearable. Nicer than what I go to the store in half the time. Even though I missed the contest, I’m now fighting the urge to go see if any of my tops are skant-able, despite the fact that I am pretty sure it wouldn’t work on me.

Holy shit! If I had the bod for it, I’d totally wear a couple of those! Especially the yellowish one at the top and the teal fishnet thingy.

This is the best contest EVARRRRRRR!

Ok, so I will probably get thumbs down on this, but I think the blue crochet looking one is almost kinda cute. Beachy. Which makes me smile because Germany is freezing balls right now.

#55 Alethiometrist :

Is anyone willing to start a pool with me on how soon one of us will actually see a real live person dressed like this in the real live world? I swear it’s only a matter of months, maybe a year tops, before we are seeing this on People of Wal-Mart. And I think the pool should include not only how soon, but a geographic area.

My money is on Woodstock, NY and vicinity, 3 months or less. (I used to live there. Maybe even have seen this before?)

I would bet on the suburbs of Los Angeles myself. I saw a lot of weird wearings when I lived out there. It’ll probably show up at “go fug yourself” before “people of walmart.”

Is it my imagination, or is the person in the top left picture Marnie MacLean, and then the one below her Jennifer Hansen? I’m now eagerly waiting for the crocheted skants pattern to show up on Stitch Diva.

I like the bottom ones, because they look somehow “right”. Place your bets on Las Vegas, people, because I’m rolling with this new trend! People already think I wear strange stuff.
