Amber Fugletta

Quite some time ago, we noted that it takes a very special person to pull off gold hot pants.  And you'd think that Amber Valletta would be special enough. I mean, she is a model. Who amongst us is qualified to rock the hot pants if not a leggy supermodel?

Apparently, the answer to that burning question is "no one." Check it out:

I mean, her legs are great. But she still looks like she forgot to change out of the bottom half of her majorette uniform and might whip out a set of flaming batons at any moment. As for the shirt, my first reaction is, "Nice bandages, Bride of the Mummy." But when I really look at it, I think it could actually be quite chic - if it were not paired with shorts last worn during the filming  of 42nd Street's "We're in the Money" number. In fact, the shoes -- which are cute on their own -- are a bit tap-dancy. Maybe this get-up is merely Amber Valletta's attempt to refashion herself as the Ruby Keeler of the 21st century. I guess if she starts doing fan kicks, we'll know for sure.
