Aieeeeeee!
I mean, um, ARRR! I was just taking a peek at our beloved fashion god Jean Paul Gaultier's site the other day, and lo and behold, guess what he did for his Spring 2008 Pret A Porter line? PIRATES! If only we had these outfits for the Jess/Stefbot 30th Birthday Pirate Cruise...and if only we were rich enough to afford them too.Now, for those of you not familiar with Gaultier, let me explain something. You know how sometimes a trend will start in America, and then it will get adopted by Japan, and Japanese kids will blow it up exponentially to some crazy style we in America could never have foreseen? Well, Gaultier is like that, but if the crazy Japanified style was then ported over to Paris and blown up exponentially once again to a mind-bogglingly creative, incredibly detailed level of craftsmanship and style.
So when Gaultier does pirates, he doesn't give you this:
He adds some volume and color and layers and feathers and gives you the likes of THIS:
Gaultier closed the show with a series of what struck me as "pirate brides lost at sea," all of whom were smoking as they strolled down the runway. Because that's what pirate brides do when they are lost at sea, you see:
Gotta love the French.
You can view the entire collection on Gaultier's site - just click on the Pret A Porter tab. And while you're there, check out the regally-themed Spring 2008 Haute Couture line as well.

Gaultier is Gaud.
But, you know, better dressed.
Allo, Jean Paul! Allo!
And apparently it's not in the pirate code for the pirate brides to wear pirate bras.
And does this mean that smoking is back in fashion?
