The Scoop on the scrubs

So here's a fact about scrubs.  They aren't attractive.  Want to hear another fact? There isn't much one can do to make them attractive.  Luckily these iconoclasts work. it. out.

Notice how she tied in the lavender pastel shirt underneath the butterfly abomination.  Well done Ms. Pediatrician, well done.

You try accessorizing an all blue. all NAVY blue outfit and I'll see what you come up with.  For right now a simple white tee and black hair-net resembling hat don't seem so bad.

Who knew the line between education and fashion could be so defined?

It's D block. French.  End of the day.  Completely tired, and Ms. P tells us we are starting a new unit.  The clothing unit.  My ears perk up at once because after all France is the fashion capital of the world and our textbook is called Discovering French so I'm pretty hyped...


.... and then I see this: 

Valette, Jean-Paul, and Rebecca M. Valette. Discovering French Nouveau. N.p.:
     McDougal Littell, 2004. Print.

It's not just the awk positions these two 'average french teens' are 
standing in 
that makes this photo interesting Let me tell you about what

those shirts say.

Yellow stoplight 1: 'speak to me softly'

Red stoplight 2: 'hug me I'm French'

Later in the class a girl was asked if she would wear either of the shirts.  
She responded with a pitiful look at the models and a 'no.'

 Valette, Jean-Paul, and Rebecca M. Valette. Discovering French Nouveau. N.p.: 

     McDougal Littell, 2004. Print.

Yeah...ummm.. no.

Valette, Jean-Paul, and Rebecca M. Valette. Discovering French Nouveau. N.p.:

A pink, silk, leave dress most likely isn't gonna work.  Oh and I 

wouldn't be counting on Mr. Dark Blue shirt on denim for any tips.

It doesn't stop at french books:

Greenes, Carole, Mirism A. Leiva, and Bruce R. Vogeli. Mathematics. N.p.: 

     Houghton Mifflin, 2002. Print.

Looks like even my sister's math textbook is capable of providing 
fashion iconoclasts.

It's these moments.  The moments when you open a textbook to 
find a snapshot of a 'fashionable young french individual' wearing a 
solid tee and capris that make you (or me)chuckle.  I sincerely thank
the color coordinated stylist on set at any of these shoots.  And come on 
maybe there are worse things in the world (or at least the world of fashion

and expression)than looking like a put together youth.....even if you 
are stuck on single colored tee's.  

Get Ready for This One

My next post is coming later tomorrow and I can't tell you much but I will answer your 'what is the next post going to be about!?' question with a hint about tomorrows's post...


...... when it comes to fashion, textbooks are teaching us all the wrong info....


sorry about the delay but I have to look into the copyright stuff :) 

Swarm of the Birthday Suit

Sitting in the car, stuck in the hustle and bustle of downtown San Francisco traffic.  Humming along, feeling swell.  All of a sudden out of nowhere hundreds of naked individuals on bikes zoom past me as they shout loudly to the world ,'hey guys check me out.  I'm nude on a bike.. yeah!' 

After I recovered from the initial shock I began to think that having this much confidence in one's appearance is in a way a fashion statement.  AND it definitely qualifies as iconoclast.  So here you are guys, let the swarm commence...

* the obnoxious background laughing adds a nice touch, don't you think? ....yup that's me.

Cold Ankles?

Most of us know the feeling of cold feet both in the literal and personal sense but travel about 5 inches up the leg and you get this...

I like how the socks are bright red just incase the green cuffed pant doesn't draw enough attention to the open ankle..however it doesn't seem to bother this man so to each his own I guess 

Someone doesn't look too happy...could it be the lack of circulation in the lower leg?  We'll never know...

If it's Fried, and it's on Your Side, Then You Should Hide

I couldn't believe this one.  

For those of you who can't tell it's an egg purse.  A leather egg purse and hanging of the purse yeah, that's a slab o' meat also leather.  I never thought the day would arrive when wearing your food could be acceptable let alone trendy, really gives new meaning to 'protein pouch' 

Can you even see the end of the rainbow with that hat?

St.  Patrick's Day.  Let's get something straight here not a lot of people know what this day is really about.   Actually few to none know the slightest history of this acclaimed holiday.  Still, in  America it gives us the opportunity to parade, party and drink so of course it's widely celebrated. 


SO.. maybe that means that with all these activities we get a little ...funky with our wardrobe choices.

The costume company is very strategic in this advertisement.  Have the model make a sexy smirk to distract from the $5 price tag.

According to one ST. PATTY's DAY site St. Patrick was know as the patron saint of Ireland....emphasis on patron saint
