Jwoww of 'Jersey Shore' Closes Richie Rich in Sheer Dress

"Jersey Shore" personality Jwoww (or Jenni Farley to her mom) closed designer Richie Rich's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2011 collection on Thursday in a sparkling, sheer dress.

She appeared with the very visible support of a pair of black panties, of a sturdiness that brought to mind Randy Orton of the WWE, but without the structural reinforcement of a brassiere.

Her highly, er, animated strut down the runway recalled a line by the late great talk-show host Jack Paar, who once introduced a guest by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, here they are -- Jayne Mansfield."

Critics were divided on the dress. (We're going to go with what the StyleList photo editor said, which is: "Holy craperoni!")

Rich, a veteran of the New York club-kid scene, formerly designed the label Heatherette with partner Traver Rains. Over the years, he has reliably turned out the most entertaining shows of Fashion Week, with celebrity models who have included Pamela Anderson, Ellen DeGeneres and Johnny Weir.

It is true that you would have to be an alcoholic transvestite hooker being chased by police down the West Side Highway on her way to a date with Charlie Sheen to consider wearing one of his looks, but hey, that's fashion!

I love the sheer sparkly material. However, I don't like the asymmetrical hemline or the way she is apparently holding it up all the way down the runway....Is it meant to be held like that constantly? Who wants to walk around a function holding up their skirt? I also dislike the uneven neckline and the different sized straps...it looks like she just grabbed a piece of pretty fabric and stuck her head through it. I'm also not sure why it's wadding up around her waist. Is the dress cut too narrow through the hips? Still, I LOVE the fabric. I'd wear it, with a black slip underneath.

Who cares about the dress! JWwow has a nice body, unlike those skinny toothpick women you always see on the runway. Give me a woman with curves anytime. WoW!

Old white man goes after black guys in a parking lot after they have a dispute over a parking space with his son. The son tries to stop his dad but the older gentleman doesn't back down.

Out of control!

I thought the OTHER girl was much more interesting! JWow is pretty , but beautiful? NO!! Not by celebrity standards..more like, ordinary people standards. She's a nice kid, but she's not all that!

Richie Rich is starting to look like Elaine Stritch! (and she's about 40 years older than him)

Richie Rich is the worst designer in the world. I have never seen one thing he's designed that's anything more than a house rag for clean up..
