Worst-dressed aliens

Forgetomori presents a photo gallery of the worst-dressed aliens ever.

6. The High Collar Look.

Here we see a pair of aliens wearing what seems most uncomfortable looking collars on their robes. The first is a drawing from Edith Fiore’s subject Linda (1989). The second appeared in a collection of Gray drawings probably taken from the Budd Hopkins collection and appearing in the Learning Channel documentary UFOs & Aliens: Search for the Truth: Alien Life Forms (2000)

This fashion was first seen among the Kanamits of the Twilight Zone classic “To Serve Man.” Another good example is the brainy aliens of Space 1999’s episode “War Games.”

The chic-est aliens wear nothing at all. Or maybe it's a form-fitting nylon. Timeless and comfortable.

I first read this as "Worst dressed Italians"

An addendum to the "Martian Pee-Jays" bullet:

Err, Marvan, in this case.

Yeah... I've seen worse.
This gal was very disappointed that they weren't serving any frog dishes at all at this party, so she left with her swim fins to go get some.
She came back with dozens! Yumm-mee!

And now you know why the aliens won't visit. They don't want to tagged with the "Worst Dressed" label.

E.T. was planning to go local but he couldn't find any jeans with a 30" waist and 2" inseam.

This is both deeply amusing and a great target for a sociologist. Fashion trends in alien couture! The greys who abduct folks do seem remarkable attuned to local style trends. . .

The big throbbing vein heads don't require the collar, actually. I like the 60's hipster version.

Phikus-
I think that was Doh, the leader of the Heaven's Gate cult (now aboard a spaceship in the tail of comet Kehoutek), or maybe they shop at the same clothier.

Troof: I thought all alien cult members wore such apparel. Are you telling me the last thing said by those cult members was: "D'oh!"?

[#13 posted by TroofSeeker, March 12, 2009 1:34 PM]

@Phikus: "Are you telling me the last thing said by those cult members was: "D'oh!"?

Almost. I believe to was "Doh! My tummy hurts! Are you sure this is gonna work?"

Right after the incident I went out and bought a pair of black Nikes, 'cause that's what they were all wearing. Guess I felt left out...
They must be halfway to Alderon by now.

alien costumes remind me of my baptism.
to this day i cannot pass a pool of water without reaching prancing like a fool.

Troof: ...black Nikes... They must look great with Gandhi's loincloth, Lincoln's tophat, etc. You sure you don't have a high-collared robe to go with such a blogging ensemble?

[#16 posted by Phikus, March 12, 2009 2:08 PM]

Oh yeah, and let's not forget this guy!

Nice one Tak! I call.

This was awesome. Reading about the true-life accounts makes me realize how much I miss the 70's alien abduction craze that was going on when I was a wee lad.

You say Worst Dressed, I see fashion trends in action! Before you know it, all the "visitors" will be clad in razor-frilled collar-boxes! Nothing instills terror in the heart of the dominated like razor-frilled collar-boxes.

@Phikus "Troof: ...black Nikes... They must look great with Gandhi's loincloth, Lincoln's tophat, etc. You sure you don't have a high-collared robe to go with such a blogging ensemble?"

Okay, Phikus, you coaxed it out of me.
Here's a photo of me at my contemplation pool, above the bridge I live below. The robe is behind me. How do I blog online then? No tellin', okay? I steal a laptop here in the park, blog until the battery dies, then I give the laptop to a kid or some homeless guy or dope dealer. Hey, the kharma balances out, right? Anyway, I'm meditating for you guys. Ommm...

Troof: Glad you chose not to take that dose of Viagra for the photo op... It was almost unsafe for work as it was!

P.S: Keep airing your dirty laundry like that and they'll put you on the Indian equivalent of Jerry Springer!
