  • Can somebody please explain to me what the big fucking deal is about wearing white after Labor Day? Honestly, I don't get it. And of course, this means I do wear white after Labor Day because, who gives even a quarter of a fuck? And why is it Labor Day? Why not after Columbus Day? Or maybe after August 23? And why white? Why not red or yellow? What is the rational behind white and Labor Day? The funny part is that the people that seem to care the most are the ones who seem to be the biggest fashion disasters, which I guess in the fashion world, are people that are hip and have it going on, but to the rest of the world they look like complete and utter douche bags. Wow, how's that for a long run on sentence. And, I can't remember the last time I used the term douche bag, I mean did I even spell it correctly? But, I digress. These people are the ones who seem to dress the most gaudy and the loudest, with colors that seem to stand out as if to say "I am the human equivalent of casino carpeting." A lot of times I can figure out the rational behind things, but for the life of me, I can't quite put a grip on the whole white after Labor Day rational. How could a color go from being completely acceptable on day and then the very next day, it should be avoided at all costs under the penalty of getting made fun of by the Douche Bags of Fashion. Hmmmm............that almost sounds like it could be a band name, write that one down, I might want to use it if my first choice, Slobercock, is already taken. Come to think of it, Douche Bags of Fashion might actually be the better name. Yes! We will be the Douche Bags of Fashion and we WILL wear nothing but white after Labor Day. The rest of the year, we will just be naked. Now, how am I going to be able to find a drummer who is willing to pound his drums while naked?

    have a great day hon!

  • I have often wondered about that "no white after Labor Day" rule, too, but I thought it only applied to women's shoes.  I did a Google on the subject, and this is what I found:

    The only logical reasoning we could find cited temperature. Image consultant Nancy Penn suggests that because white reflects light and heat, wearing white would make you cooler in winter, and thus should be avoided. But others suggest the rule stems from a class issue. Acting Director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology Valerie Steele notes that in the late 19th century and the 1950s, more people were entering the middle classes. These nouveau-riche folks were often unaware of the standards of high society, so they were given specific codified rules to follow in order to fit in.

    I also did a Google on "douchebags of fashion," and I got 509,000 hits.  I think Douchebags of Fashion would be a great name for a band, but it's not nearly as good as Slobbercock, which got only 8 Google hits.  I used to refer to one of my daughters' boyfriends in high school as Dicky Peckerstiff.  Maybe the lead singer of Slobbercock could call himself Dicky Peckerstiff.  I'd buy the album.

  • LOL  casino carpets outfits!
