June fiddled with her hair as she nervously waited for her cue. This category of Fashion Police had never been done before by G+G, but while she was excited about a new experience, June was also apprehensive about modeling such... interesting... outfits. Seeing her cue, June apparated out onto the g+g stage set, specifically, to the g shaped stage on the right side. Walking down the stage to the beat of "C'est la Vie" by Bewitched, June posed at various times as the commentary began.

"Now Ladies and Gentlemen, this annual fashion show has always brought you the most fashionable outfits out there, but this year, G+G has decided to make the show a bit different. A category has now been added called "Fashion Police" where the models will show off all kinds of outfits that will forever live and die on the "Out" list. C'est La Vie, the song that is now playing, means That's Life; and it is, sadly, a part of life when obvious Don't's still find their ways into closets.
The current outfit being modeled is a sad example of that. The black tanktop that our model is wearing would be cute... if it weren't for the fact that ruffles went out about a year ago. And to everyone colorblind out there, yellow and black should never mix, unless it's Halloween and someone wants to look like a bumblebee. The yellow skirt with the embroidered red heart shows to all the fact that although bubble skirts were in style during the time of the dinosaurs, they have certainly been pushing up the daisies by now. Not only do they look... well, not nice, but who would want the feeling of a sudden puff of air whenever you sat down or stood up? Certainly not me! The high-heeled white boots are a nice touch by themselves, but only add to the distatefullness of this outfit when combined with it. And, last but not least Ladies and Gentlemen, since when have stockings that go past the boots been fashionable? I hope this and the following outfits in this category will help you pick your clothes in the future."

June twirled a bit and smiled, although inside, she cringed. Although the outfit was hideous, the commentator didn't have to be so... vitriolic. Noticing the ending of the song, June walked back towarrds the rear of the stage and apparated, eager to get into normal clothes.

Amy watched as June came backstage, and waited for her cue. Seeing Swifty give her a nod, and hearing the music changing to "You're Gorgeous" by Babybird, she stepped onto the runway.

How ironic She thought, as she heard the music, and looked down at her outfit. It was...interesting...to say the least.

Nevertheless, she stepped out onto the catwalk, and began her walk down it, listening out for the commentator's announcement about her outfit.

"And here our model demonstrates what it is wise not to wear! For this category, the designers have taken the idea of fashion police at near face value, wearing what can only be described as grotesquely chic, in the style of a police officer.

Our model wears a black PVC bustier, with mesh panelling and crossed straps. The hotpants are in a light blue denim, and the chain belt is leather and tassled. Knee length PVC boots and black reflective sunglasses complete the look.

As our model nears the end of the runway, it might be wise to advise you that these outfits are worn by trained professionals, and should not be attempted at home!"

Amy grinned to herself as she heard the commentator's last comment, and posed at the end of the catwalk, looking out at the audience. She felt slightly ridiculous in the poor-taste clothes, but as she strutted back up the catwalk, she hoped that she had pulled it off for Gryffindor.



Due to the rather horrible nature of these clothes, G+G designs will not be offering them up for sale. Look out for our more fashionable designs soon!

"Great job, Amy!" June told her friend when she appeared backstage once more. Glancing in a mirror, June took in a sharp, quick breath. She exhaled, then inhaled, and then exhaled once more. When June thought that she could now look at herself in the mirror without screaming, she stopped her cycle of inhale/exhale. Slowly turning toward Swifty, June spoke slowly and in a trembling voice, "Am I supposed to w-wear these clothes? Do you expect me to completely ruin my reputation?!?!" June's voice steadily rose. "I mean, the previous outfit was bad... but these clothes completely clash!" Turning around without waiting for an answer, June apparated out onto the stage and muttered, "Well, I better get this over with." The song "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls came on and once again, June found the song to be ironic, compared to the clothes that she was now modeling. Mentally rolling her eyes, June began her poses.

Commentary: "This... thing... is a perfect example of what NOT to wear. Definitely belonging to the OUT pile, this outfit comprises of a yellow shirt with black polka dots. The shirt is cropped at the midriff and has three-quarter length sleeves. Meant to appear as flowing material, this top does its job far too well and anyone wearing this shirt had better have a lifevest, because in this top, you'll be floating. The bottom half of this outfit comprises of dark purple stretch pants that have an elastic hemline. The pants are covered with a pattern of magenta-purplish stars that only lend a feeling of eccentricity to this outfit. To complete this outfit, G+G's model wears a pair of flip-flops that have purple straps while the rest of the shoes are yellow, to match the shirt. Now, about the entire outfit, G+G would like all of its customers to realize that yellow and purple do not, did not, and will never go well together, so if you plan on wearing those two colors anytime soon, I'd have second thoughts. And also, the hippie era was in the 70's... which were almost 30 years ago... The cult is practically obsolete, and so are the style of clothes."

Grinning out at the crowd, June felt more like grimacing as the commentary ended. Turning around, she swayed her hips to the beat of the song and quickly apparated backstage upon reaching the rear of the g+g stage set. "Thank Merlin," she breathed as she practically ran to the changing rooms to change into clothes that were actually fashionable.

Becca was super late. She apparted to the back stage, swearing under her breath. She gave a thumbs up and an eye roll to her friends and then walked out onto the runway, holding her breath.



Commentary: "erm tonight becca is wearing a slightly, oh heck not even slightly, a very unfashionable outfit. First off, there are no shoes. I wouldn't wanna walk on the street with no shoes, would you? Next, I see oversized leggings. Errrrrr, leggings that go under your feet are just, not right. Ummm becca there are two sets of polka dots on this outfit! Don't overdue it! Also, the polka dots are different colors. One is black polka dots and the others are white. *shudder* Leave that at home! Do I even want to know about that hat? Baseball cap, and polka dots.....i'd hire someone to pick out your clothes for you!"

*becca glares*

Commentary- "Do i actually see what I think I see? A green/gray scarf to top it off! Oh brother! PLease tell me that you are joking! And whats that underneath the jacket? That tee-shirt is so outdated for this outfit!"


Becca- becca glared at the commentary person but kept walking with ehr head held high, no matter how stupid the outfit was. She twirled at the end of the runnway and actually got booed. Rebecca faught not to stick her tongue out and turned back to walk backstage.

Commentary- "PLease people, save our eyes and save these things, for working in the garden."

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief once shewas backstage again.

"Was that horrible or what?" she questioned jokingly after she got into somethng a lot more fashionable.

June laughed at Becca's words. "You definitely weren't. The clothes on the other hand... well, no comment." June then resumed her one-sided conversation with an exasperated Swifty. "Please please please?" June begged her. Sighing, Swifty said, "No, June. For this catwalk your hair is purple, and that's that." June put on her best puppy-dog eyes. "But Swifty! The hair doesn't match... that well..." Shaking her head, Swifty headed off to make sure things were running smoothly, leaving June with purple hair. Rolling her eyes, June stalked off to the apparition point. She would've kept her normal black hair anyway, but no.... Swifty would kill her. Apparating out onto the g+g stage set, June pasted on a smile and posed and walked to the tune of "Beautiful" by Christina Aquilera.

Over the music, the commentary began: "Although this outfit is not as horrifying as the previous one, it still requires the expertise of G+G's fashion police in describing what NOT to wear. This outfit comprises of a slightly shapeless tanktop in spring green that is lined with white feathers and has a strawberry on the side. The shirt also comes with a small green purse that matches with a strawberry. G+G's model also wears a pair of jeans that moves from the blue to the purple color spectrum. With an attached purple belt, these jeans would be perfect, if only they weren't worn in this outfit. To complete this set of clothes, the model wears a pair of strappy sandals in spring green that match the shirt and the purse. All in all, the clothes in this outfit could be really cute, if they weren't worn all together."

As the commentary ended, June twirled on one foot while swinging her purse and strutted back down the stage. At the rear, she turned and winked at the audience before apparating backstage. Upon arrival, she immediately waved her wand and turned her hair back to its normal long shiny black color.

Cristina appeared next to her colleagues. "Hey! Great job presenting those ... although the clothes were uhhhh...... well.... horrible.... and hey, wanna know what? Get ready, cause here come with the ultra-super-yukky outfit 2000!" She waved her wand and something... something... really EWWW! appeared. She looked in the mirror doubtingly... Heck, no!, she thought with uttermost desperation. If I have to...... Swifty gave her her cue, and off she was....



When she got on the stage, she couldn't restrain from slightly crying... everybody was laughing at her! Heck, I'd love to be able to laugh, but right now, I feel like a walking collection of junk..., she thought miserably. As she walked on, the commentator began his speech so loudly that he covered the background music - "Oops, I did it again" by Britney Spears.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, by your laughs, I see you already got the main idea: do not wear this! I mean, just look at it don't y'all just wanna scream? There are sooo many diffent patterns that it would be an insult for the animals to say Cristina looks like one... but except that... who in his right minds would wear leggins and tell socks OVER there? Crime, I tell you, crime! And they're both striped, but different colours! And do you see what I see? Even MORE stripes, another colour, on the sleeves! Yikes! Somebody buy this person some fashion taste! And what's with the purse? Is that granny's? And the cap - first of all, it's a totally striking green, that doesn't go with the darker green of the rest of the outfit at all, and then - ANOTHER PATTERN? Is this girl crazy or WHAT?"

At the comentator's last words, Cristina really couldn't hold it anymore. She broke down into rivers of tears and ran to the apparition point, not caring about anything around her, just wanting to get rid of that hideous things she was wearing.

When she got backstage, she flipped her wand, sobbingly replacing the hideousness with normal clothes. "Sorry", she muttered to the ones around her ".. it was just too much for me..."

Becca cringed as her hair was turned to pink. "AHHHH!" she screeched when she looked into the mirror. She covered her head with her arms only to find herself looking at a pink sleeve. She tried to stay calm as someone pushed her out onto the stage. Glaring at cristina slightly, she turned around and headed out.

Commentary- " oh my oh my. Is this the same girl? well she needs some fashion lessons 101. Uh oh......she's glaring at me again! oh well, on with the commentary! Well the first thing that pops out to me is the coloring of the ENTIRE outfit. All the different shades of pink clash horribly and makes for a very unpleasant look for the eyes. The hair, the shirt, the skirt, and the shoes are all different shades....call the police and havve this designer arrested! What's that brown belt doing there? it looks so out of place in the swarm of pink! Adding in some brown somewhere else such as in the shoes or skirt would make it less of a shock to see on the model. The hair looks welll bright. A lighter color such as blond or black or brown would make for a better look, and it'd take some of the clashing shades out of there! Well....hopefully you all will notice that you'll be made fun of for looking like this outside of your home. or even in your home....(siblings can be NASTY sometimes!!!!) But, I think we found out what color is becca's favorite!"

becca shot death daggers at the commentator as she turned to go backstage.

After changing into some better clothes and turning her hair back to normal becca told june and cristina - "Never ever ever again will i wear that much pink!"
