Flashes of Red and Black: Best Outfit on a T Rider Ever

Okay, okay, the photo you see here is blurry, but Bostonist had to pay tribute to the Best T Outfit Ever, and you can't even see half of it. We marveled at this rider while riding the Red Line from Downtown Crossing yesterday.

Her red-and-black ensemble was spectacular: black high-heel boots, very low-riding leather black pants, a studded black belt, a bright red shirt with a sequined red band, a studded leather vest, and a red hat with cow spots and a fur trim. You also might not see that her black handbag had the word "Pleaser" stitched on it, and a pair of red earmuffs dangled from her belt. She sang songs about Jesus, yet she looked like she didn't want to talk to anyone--hence the quickly snapped photo.

Usually, people on the T stare at imaginary spots on the windows, but everyone in that car was gaping at her because her sense of style refused to be denied. Have you seen anything that beats it?
