Clear plastic: it’s the new black leather!

Dear Fashion Show People:

I am one of your male models, and I am sick and tired of some of the garbage you make me wear on the runway! I just took today’s “creation” out of the dry cleaner’s bag, and it really sucks!

Why, I could make something better from the protective plastic wrap it came in! I have half a mind to take the plastic, and some of this red adhesive runway tape, and design my own outfit! You think I’m kidding? Try me!

At first, Surfer Man couldn’t think of a way to attach a cape to himself…eventually, though, he devised a “shirt” that would allow a cape and still show off his stunning physique and glowing tan. Unfortunately, he was the laughing stock of every superhero convention and bad guys didn’t take him very seriously either.

The new Man from well, not exactly Glad; not quite so joyous than that. Perhaps not quite overjoyed, but not again Merry. Someplace between Glad and Merry. I’m think the Man from Gay. That has about the right feel.

Fashion is an inverted garbage with cutouts for the arms and vee neck decorated with electrical tape. So, my sister’s 1968 Halloween costume was decades ahead of its time. She has always been an innovator.

I always wanted to point out my ‘lost it in the Gulf’ scar to hotties at the disco. Do they make matching pants?
