Huh?

PopMatters' Best Dressed of the Year was Rufus Wainwright. Ok. But why they chose him is what gives us pause:

"Rufus Wainwright is one of our generation’s most gifted entertainers, but nothing could have prepared the audience for Wainwright returning to the stage following two full sets, alone and in a white terry bathrobe. He placed a plain wooden chair in the middle of the stage, sat down, and carefully applied eyeliner, blush, and cherry-red lipstick. Finally, he let the robe fall to unveil Judy Garland herself in a Carnegie Hall sequined cocktail dress and stiletto heels. “Garland” proceeded to regale the audience with hit after hit from the classic American songbook. Somewhere over the rainbow, indeed."

Are you fuckin' serious?!
