News, but not the serious kind

Don’t most gum chewers dress better?

November 20, 2007

fashion-bubble-160.jpgI’m sorry, gang, I’ve let you down. I’ve got nothing for the new fashion season, and people are gonna notice. I got a black shirt, I got a white shirt with some fricking colored stripes on the cuffs….

Wait! What if we like divert their attention? You know, like have one model smoke, and another one blow bubbles? And maybe somebody could pick their nose, and another could be flossing their teeth, or gargling? Then nobody would notice we don’t have anything!

Is it worth a shot? Come on!

Someone needs to take a weed-whacker to that hair. Not to mention…has this dude ever heard of shaving? I’ve heard of scruffy/sexy…but this guy is taking it a little far.

You know what would really get my attention? …if someone set him on fire.

He looks like he brought sexy back – and got a full refund.

I don’t know, Bob. The stylized pit hair on the black shirt is kind of a novelty. The white shirt doesn’t show up well enough (too much light exposure washes out the contrast) to see if it is repeated on that one. While I don’t personally find pit beasts attractive, there is probably a niche market somewhere. Perhaps, just this once, you might re-think your initial reaction.

If he could blow bubbles while smoking the cigarette, well THAT would be something.

The fashion in these pictures is far more dated than the model could ever hope to be.

well maybe the idea of the gum and the smoking is about ther label being fun as opposed to diverting attention, freaks. i think it looks pretty cool. though suppose seeing someone doing something other than pouting is to different

It was an experiment to see if models can walk and chew gum at the same time.

They failed, but the monkeys managed and looked great in the white shirt.

Jack, I don’t think “fun” and “smoking” belong in the same sentence, especially for a guy who appears to be wearing a United Airlines flight attendant’s uniform from 1979.
