She'd look hot in a burlap bag

Unlike certain butchy celebrities who feel the need to throw on a dress when they're out in public, Joan Jett doesn't give a damn about her bad reputation and knows exactly how to rock her not-so-inner butch.

Jett showed up at New York's Bryant Park for Fashion Week and lo, so did Carmen Electra. What a coincidence. I mean, what are the chances? Good thing Carmen and Joan aren't worried about rumors that they're in a relationship, because here they are together at the Anna Sui show.

Joan Jett and Carmen Electra

Now, I'm no fashion maven. My 2007 Winter Collection is the same as my 1991 Winter Collection: jeans and bulky turtleneck sweaters. And when I say "same" I mean I'm literally still wearing those jeans and turtleneck sweaters from 1991. What some call outdated, I call consistent. Joan Jett understands consistency -- she single-handedly keeps the leather pants industry alive -- but she does it like the rock star she is.

Now, about Carmen Electra's dress. What is going on here?

Joan Jett and Carmen Electra

She's either a Goth Little Bo Peep or an Amish French maid. Whatever she is, it seems the hot fashion detail this year is coffee filters.

    I am fortunate enough to have met Joan Jett twice. Just let me say that she is striking! When she addressed me (we had backstage passes) and shook my hand I thought I'd pass out, or pee myself, or both.

    She does....

    Joan does still wear leather. She gave an interview recently saying that she's come to terms with being in PETA and wearing leather. She said that if she really thought her not wearing it would make a difference she's stop immediately.

    But come on...Joan without leather? I'd die. She was wearing hella leather when I talked to her last year, I could smell it. In a good way :)

    LOL - "Goth Little Bo Peep or an Amish French maid". Very good - Amish French Maid I think, and then you have a nice segue to the Sister My Sister reference in another blog piece.

    When I saw Carmen's dress all I could think of was Alice saying "I don't kiss girls who wear doilies". lol. Definately a little too much.

    Oh please, they aren't "worried" about rumors of a relationship. I'm sure Joan loves everyone thinking she's sleeping with Carmen Electra.

    L said it's picture

    I agree with L (comment below) ladies! They would make a HOTT couple though.

    No more leather for Joan Jett's picture

    I thought she switched to vinyl after joining PETA.

    hey, what'd u mean by what's going on with Carmen's dress??? it's cute!

    uh's picture

    that looks like denim, not leather! looking pretty hot though. a very rare rock star that can pull off the black-on-black look without looking pathetic!

    they would definitely make a cute couple. i don't think joan jett is a really butchy though, she's more rocker chick.
