Garbage Can with Brocade Skirt March 17, 2009 1:09 PM | permalink

This wastebasket, which lives at the Hilton in downtown Austin, is sporting satin pleated brocade.

Call me dumb, but I think a trash can should not be better dressed than I am.

The skirt I'm wearing right now is black, cotton and was purchased many years ago at something like Salvation Armani.

I spotted this absurdly stylish rubbish bin when I arrived at SXSW and I took a picture of it just now because it's still bugging the heck outta me.

Forget "lipstick on a pig," the new phrase should be "baroque couture on a wastebasket."

In conclusion, down with fashionista garbage cans!
