Anna Dello Russo’s Awkward Dance Video: Bryanboy posted this video of Anna Dello Russo titled “Fashion is Uncomfortable,” where she gets dressed, does impossible stretches, and dances while saying “fashion shower” over and over. Though it probably wasn’t meant to, the short actually does make you very, very uncomfortable. {Bryanboy}
