Fug the Spread: Teen People

As if watching Esther go on a Vogue-induced romp through English meadows in tweed weren’t weird enough, Teen People –which presumably differs from its parent by featuring slightly hipper baby-down-the-well stories mixed in with its gossip — has decided to take to the prairies in its effort to tell us what’s hot for fall:

Even Carrie Underwood, Country Princess, appears to be having trouble fully committing to this folksy ensemble. And who could blame her? She’s wearing a denim gown. In addition to being cumbersome, it probably weighs a ton; indeed, the picture almost makes it look like she’s on the verge of tripping and faceplanting on the lawn. (Luckily, I hear grass stains are the new black.)

If this spread is to be believed, then come autumn, everybody will be dressing like they’ve been torn from a debutante ball sponsored by Wrangler. I think the Teen People folks have not only gone off their collective rocker, but thrown it on a bonfire and watched it burn while chanting in tongues.
