When it comes to fashion this is my dad, please go to the 43 second mark in the Larry Crowne Trailer and then to the minute 30 mark. My father is a loveable, handsome man whose fashion sense starts and ends with Lands End (which is a great brand). He knows that I love fashion so he tries to take an interest (he’s so supportive of my brother and I). With help from my mom he dresses rather nicely most of the time, leaving behind “the 90’s dad jeans”. Sorry Dad, I know we tease you a lot. This leads me to a very funny story.
During a commercial break while watching the Academy Awards I went upstairs to make a cup of tea. While there my mom asked, “What do you think of the red carpet this year?” As women do, we gushed over the dresses, hair, jewelry, and colors. I guess my dad felt left out because he chimed in, “Tina Fey looked frumpy.” He must have been trying to take an interest in my fashion passion, but I had to defend Tina.
“Dad”, I said, “she may not be a stereotypical Hollywood beauty, but she is adorable and funny. The up do helped to show off her lovely face and the dress was very flattering to her body.” I finished my argument with, “Tim Gunn thought she was fabulous.”
Please view the video below to see how my father knows and loves Tim Gunn:
My Father quotes this commercial all the time saying, “look what Anandra did” and “major wow factor”. My dad is a very funny guy and for some reason this made him a Tim Gunn fan. Now that he knows Tim Gunn likes her look he says, “I still don’t like her hair.” Silly Daddy…
Tina Fey was wearing custom Carolina Herrera Dress, Bulgari Jewels, Stuart Weitzman Shoes, and a Roger Viver Purse. It is so refreshing that a pretty woman can be funny and smart. Her writing is always so clever and my father and I are huge fans. She is on my list of inspirational women.
In closing, I want to thank my wonderful dad for being a good sport. I love you. Remember, most men don’t understand fashion unless they are Tim Gunn.
