Ah, the vaunted Charleston Fashion Week! Eat your heart out, Paris!

Think how much tsuris the world would have been saved had that happened to John Travolta during the dance sequence in "Saturday Night Fever."

S.I.T.C.: Runway Roadkill.

Can we get a mashup, like yesterday's reporters getting set on fire and falling? All we would need for audio would be a little techno.

But where's Tyra's anecdote about how something worse happened to her, and then she pulled it off, because that's what modeling is all about?

Does not augur well for Savannah and Winston-Salem fashion weeks.

Where the hell did she go? The man falls in and sucked up only to mid-calf, but she completely disappears??? The girl didn't seem like she was following the program in general.

At least someone tries to help her instead of pretending it never happened. Although if that were me, I would go ahead and let the hole swallow me as well.

Was there some sort of mystical forcefield attached to those center panels? When the designer hits them she suddenly stiffens, like a robot gone haywire. And then that guy in the brown jacket is doing fine and then is sucked down.

But still funny. But, when is someone falling down (albeit without major injury) not funny?

Charleston, the church basement fashion capital of the world.

She was slurped up by the insatiable maw of Gaia.

Project Dumbway

Ah, she was coming out for a bow. At first I thought she was just another model who crapped herself and was heading backstage to clean up.

DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT, Carol Anne

Was she even going to walk the runway at all, or was she just trying to commit suicide?

I guess making the runway out of sheets of paper suspended across an abyss is one way to weed out the fat models.

She's in Narnia now, modeling armor, velvet tunics and goat legs.

Spilleto Festival

I keep trying to explain to men why it's funny when they're kicked in the crotchular area and they never understand.

We all float down here.

@fiveinchtaint: Obscure Tyra reference!

@ellieC: Must be those Southern manners everyone is talking about.

@fileunder: Oooh, good regional reference. Four stars.

Well the sunny lassie probably missed rehearsal where they were warned not to walk there.....so that's what ya get.

Guess their stage union isn't that, um, organized.

"Damn it, Charles! I said plate glass, not paper mache. What do you think this is, a grade school science fair project?"

@WaltzingMatilda:
Hah, thanks. Though the only place I've been to in SC is Florence. (long story)

Charleston could have been the fashion capitol of the modern day Confederate States of America!

I love how the guy with the tan jacket falls in, and you know the only reason he didn't fall all the way in is because he's on top of that poor model.

don't know which is funnier, Alice down the rabbit hole or that there's a fashion week in Charleston.

@Spirit Fingers: Really? If so, that was unintentional. On first viewing, the way she puts her hands behind her, I thought she might have sharted.

And the band played on.

@fiveinchtaint: Thereby making the comment all the more spot on, my friend.

Yes, at some point during NYC's fashion week, Tyra had to be rushed backstage due to some kind of...ahem, poo induced incident, or so it was reported.

"It puts the lotion on its skin..."

@TheRightHonourablePrimeMinister: And how she acted with her eyes, like THIS!

doesn't she seem more like the designer than a model to anyone? she comes out after all the models and does a little bow...

Agreed! I think she's for sure the designer. The models had just done their finale walk.

I love how the last model in red looks over but keeps walking as if nothing happened.

The bad music should have been a precursor things were going to go south.

@pooks: Perhaps he landed on her back?

I love how she falls a little bit, then a little bit more, then it's just the top of her head and then she's gone completely. It's like the beginning of "Jaws" set to the soundtrack of "American Gigolo."

@Richard: @Mike_Jahn: @Gregoire: @crookedE: @ByTheWhiskersOfKurviTasch: @Itsjustcatnip: @MykalBloom, ETC: eff me that was funny - like a rapid-fire medley of comic hits - with perfectly good coffee sprayed all over my keyboard, via my nose...

everyone into the pool!

What have we come to when runways aren't built to support 80 pound waifs?

Somebody landed in MIDDLE EARTH!!

RUNWAY HUNGRY

RUNWAY WANT FOOD

It's the perfect example of a mash-up between Project Runway and Fear Factor. Auf Wiedersehen!

Crap! Double-post...

Good to know she wasn't light enough to walk across paper

And the front-row fashionistas (in Charleston??) do nothing.

I would have at least gotten up from my chair to try to help the woman .... (after I was done laughing).

@fileunder: Ha!

Spilleto Festival? Where the fashionable carry Geechee handbags?

fashion weak
