Sexy - Part 1 of 3 - The Sexy

Episode Synopsis: The GLEE kids get a dose of sex ed from our favourite substitute teacher, Holly Holliday. Though her song (and Mr. Schue's, for that matter), bordered on inappropriate, the GLEE kids did learn something important (babies do not come from storks). Holly's method of teaching may have been successful, but I think the best advice is still… "don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and die". Name the movie and a YKYLF award goes to you!

Blaine (attempts) to teach Kurt about sexy, hilarity ensues. Santana and Brittany discuss their relationship in equally bad outfits, but with a beautiful song. Carl and Emma sing together, but the couple that sings together (apparently) doesn't stay together. Artie wears sweater vests, while Will successfully rids himself of his own vest addiction - but may have found a new one in Holly. Meanwhile, Quinn and Finn hook up behind everyone else's backs, Rachel wasn't as annoying, and Puck and Lauren finally kiss. And that's what you missed on Glee. 

Santana is Queen of Blazers and Jackets. Seriously. Her collection is unparalleled. I love the one she has on here, in an edgy blue and black zebra-esque pattern. And that faux leather backpack is tacky, but awesome at the same time. Santana's style exactly.

Only Santana (Queen of Blazers and Jackets, remember?) could pull off a fuchsia leopard blazer with shoulder pads. Again, tacky but awesome - it seems to be a recurring theme on her!

This is Santana without any form of blazer/jacket. Aka, mediocre casual wear, which, Santana-style, involves a skintight tank and skirt combo (perhaps just a dress?). I do like the exposed gold zipper, though.

Love this jacket. Love the double sweaters.  Only she could pull this off so well. The cropped style and zippers…j'adore.

Some simple math. Santana - blazer = awful. I don't even know what to make of this ensemble. The wide-leg jeans are bad enough (especially in that particular wash - I believe my mother owned a pair like that in her teens), but the chunky clogs and loose white top? This outfit is the opposite of Santana's usual style. She did sing beautifully, though.

See, I'd normally hate the skintight black and pink dress (I still kind of do), but paired with a fantastic fringed leather jacket? YKYLF approved. I believe we've seen the leather jacket before.

This episode was full of Brittany Bon-Mots. From "the key is to use the curling iron in the bathtub to keep you from getting burnt" to "I'm not stupid, it's obviously getting ready to bring me my baby", Brittany had us in stitches for most of the episode. I do believe the wardrobe department was trying to make a point with her dress and cardigan here, both in a bird print. While it is print-overload, I love the colors and the addition of the belt.

This next one is definitely one of Brittany's misses. I love the combination of her leather jacket and striped top, but paired with the floral leggings? Yikes. Then again, this girl did start the 'armwarmers' trend. Hand to heart, since that episode, I've seen at least five girls at my dance studio wearing armwarmers. Brittany really is a trendsetter. Just please don't let floral leggings become a trend. The whole leggings-as-pants trend is bad enough. Leggings are not pants, kids!

Love the lacy butterfly top here.

The outfit Brittany wears to talk to Ms. Holliday is questionable, to say the least. The stripes and bright color could be a testament to this season's trends, but the combination is a little too reminiscent of my outfits when I was four for my liking.

First, a comment on Brittany, Santana, and Holly's performance of Landslide. Stunning. But even a gorgeous song couldn't take away from Brittany's awful outfit. The cropped denim vest is passable, but when paired with a dowdy floral dress, it's just terrible.

A cat in a pirate's hat! So bizarre it makes sense. Kind of like Brittany.

Brittany's outfit for the celibacy club meeting brings back a version of armwarmers - fingerless gloves! Only she would wear outerwear indoors, but they do pair so nicely with her ruffled red-and-white striped top

Pretty standard fare for Holly this episode. Plain button-ups and almost too-short skirts. I do love her heels in the first picture, though.

To perform a wholly inappropriate song for the Glee club, while simultaneously teaching them about sex, Holly dons this fabulously distressed leather jacket. Love the zips, the detailing, and the studs!

It was difficult to get a good look at her tango outfit, but it looks more like a pair of dance shorts and a ruffled black top with tails. Sexy, for sure.

The simple black halter is subtly sexy - and I love that it's gathered into a bow.

She goes the slightly dressy route with a black and white ensemble, paired with a studded cuff. Loved the draped grey shirt!

Only someone named Holly Holliday could pull off a jazzercise outfit like this. The metallic headband! Wide belt! Striped leotard! Shiny tights! It's so horrible, it's wonderful.

While his singing may make us melt, Puck's sartorial choices are only beaten out by those of Finn. Boring white henley, boring black Athletics T, boring button-up and shirt combo…step it up, Puckerman!

Okay, I fully admit that the only reason Puck's in the 'Sexy' section is because he could make a paper bag look sexy.

I take it back, if this is what stepping up is. Bring back the boring! Puck makes the pastel blue shirt and white pants combo slightly more bearable than Carl's. But that ascot…even Puck can't make that sexy.

The 12-step Vestaholics Anonymous program worked! Not a single vest for Will this episode.

Instead: button-ups.

Or button-ups with skinny ties and sweaters.

Or plaid (yeah, I know) and blah blazers. Or another button up and skinny tie.

Yawn.

Normal workout wear for Will (no jazzercise shiny tights here, thank goodness!). The fact that he was doing the butterfly stretch was amusing, though.

This was too adorable not to include! His expression!

For his tango-version of Kiss, Will wears a black button-up (shocker). But he skips the tie and looks appropriately sexy.

Sexy - Part 2 of 3 - The Cute

Don't get me wrong, I love that Kurt's in a new school and doesn't have to deal with bullying anymore. But am I the only one who wishes he didn't wear a uniform? I miss his flamboyantly whimsical outfits of yore.

There really isn't much you can do with a uniform (trust me, I struggled with this for years!). You can a) add a scarf in your school colors,

(Anyone else wish Kurt would break the mold and wear a differently colored scarf? Perhaps one with polka dots?)

b) ditch the blazer and go casual with a cardigan instead. (Please note: Kurt's 'sexy' face. How adorable is he?)

c) wear the uniform as is and perform Animal.

We need to see Blaine in an outfit that doesn't include Dalton Academy's colors. In any case, he looks fantastic in his black coat.

I do love Kurt's loungewear, however. The cut-outs add interest to an otherwise plain sweater. Avant-garde and completely on trend, so Kurt.

Emma, who almost never has a bad outfit, is gorgeous in a raspberry cardigan (with a bee brooch! adorable!) and darker raspberry pencil skirt. The combination wouldn't work on anyone else, but it's perfect for Emma. Honestly, she defines cute.

It's the usual for Emma this episode. I love the bows, the sailboats, the cobalt blue, the polka dots, the brooches. She excels at demure, ladylike outfits that are somehow not too grandmotherly.

Then again, everyone has a bad wardrobe day (you know, the kind where your favourite top is in the wash, nothing fits, everything's sprawled around the room). Emma's comes in the form of the outfit she chose for the girls to wear for their performance of "Afternoon Delight". The high-necked, puffed-sleeve, ruffled blue top is bad enough. But she pairs it with a maxi floral skirt that looks more like a bedspread print. (I didn't even include Quinn and Rachel's exact outfits because I feared for your poor eyes.)

Mercedes is kind of like Santana in that she can wear the most ridiculous pieces (bright blue skinny jeans, checkered hat, and shiny Nikes) and still pull it off. I'm not loving the multiple bangles and cutoff denim jacket, but I do like the fact her laces match her shirt.

The wardrobe department must have its own trailer just for Mike's shoes…he has a cool new pair each week! The rest of his outfit is typical; skinny jeans and a black sweater.

We didn't see much of Tina, but she was sporting bright blue streaks and this lovely velvet blazer…I wonder if she borrowed it from Santana?

There's an awful lot of denim in this episode. I'm not sure if I'm appalled or pleasantly surprised. Quinn's version is a dark, well-constructed, denim jacket. Nothing special here.

Quinn's ensembles have three qualities: demure, feminine, and, well, boring. She likes dresses and cardigans and oddly enough, combat boots (or something of the like). The print is rather interesting, though. And her hair! The girl has hair like no other.

Again, gorgeous hair. The patchwork dress looks like something she made while away at camp, and she's wearing a black shrug, of course.

I may not approve of Finn/Quinn, but the polka dot dress? Summery and cute and so Quinn.

Mini-Recap: Sexy

Only Glee can take a theme like "sexy" and make it all kinds of awkward. But that's why we watch, right? Mr. Schue proves he knows how to be extremely inappropriate on school grounds, especially with the return of Holly Holliday as the sex ed substitute (and judging the Twitter feedback, I'm in the minority on being gleeful to see her return). The Gleeks are Brittany-level clueless about sex, but Emma Pillsbury may be as well, seeing as she and the hot dentist aren't getting it on. And Santana unexpectedly opens up to Brittany.

Song of the Night: Afternoon Delight was all kinds of weird. Mainly the outfits. Emma Pillsbury may be losing the plot.

Brittany Bon Mots: so hard to choose just one this week! On sex ed: "I get all my information from Woody Woodpecker cartoons." And on being confused over breakfast: "sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's salty. What if I want eggs for dinner?"

How Sue Sees It: "I like my enemas piping hot"

Number of Track Suits: 1

Best Outfit: It was completely inappropriate for a teacher singing to students, but I loved Gwyneth's leather jacket.


Steph will fill you in on what you missed this week with a full recap on Friday. There were leggings as pants and I hope she's harsh on them.
