Dry me with a shammy, Grammy!

fashion-plastic-vertical-120.jpgBlog Guy, I have an unusual fashion problem. I can save a lot of time if I take a shortcut to work, but that means walking through a car wash near my office.

Apart from the searing pain of steam vapor, the toxic build-up of hot wax and the giant bristles that shred my skin as I pass by, there is also the problem of showing up at work soaking wet. Any suggestions?

You bet. At this week’s Milan fashion show they introduced the “Shiny Miracle Suit for Dudes who take Shortcuts.” These garments are made from the same space-age imitation plastic your grandma uses to safeguard her sofa!

When you get to work, just hit the men’s room and wipe it off with a couple of paper towels. It’ll be just as cool as when you put it on!

I looked at this and the first thing that popped into my head was Giant Fruit Rollup. The next thing was Frat Boy Hungover And Wearing Someone Else’s Clothes.

I am certain the “fashion designer” who came up with this look was a comedian in another lifetime.

Just hope that oilskin jackets and trousers and Sou’wester hats, the uniform of dep sea fishermen becomes the hot fashion item of the year.

I’ve been predicting for years that Sou’westers would be the cool thing to wear one day. I’m bound to be right sometime and let’s face it, if Burberry caps can be cool then anything can.

I keep returning to this and wondering about the extra-large box of green garbage bags I just bought at Superstore.

I’m sitting on a goldmine!

I am not satisfied with this guy’s opinion because if we want to look fashionable we tolerate few pains like waxing, steam vapor. There was saying “to get something we have to lost something”.
