• I saw a guy wearing a pre-wrinkled shirt today. It made me think we have really hit the zenith of laziness if we have to PAY somebody to pre-wrinkle our clothes. What worse is that these things probably cost more money. I’ll tell you a way to save the $10, just drop it on the floor in your bedroom for 3 days and then wear it. And again, how fuckin lazy do you have to be to have it already wrinkled for you? Really, in all honesty, wrinkling clothes comes form being lazy to begin with. You are either too lazy to pick up the clothes, too lazy to hang it in the closet or too lazy to make sure that it is not getting wrinkled in the dresser. That’s lazy. But, I guess its just not lazy enough. Apparently, taking it off and leaving it on the floor must be too much damn work. You need somebody else to throw it on the floor, permanent press some wrinkles into it so that you don’t have to wrinkle it yourself later. And whats even funnier is that you are probably still too lazy to pick it up or hang it in the closet so its only going to get wrinkled anyway. And yet, people pay more money for it to already be wrinkled. Does anybody else find this baffling? And why exactly is it stylish to wear wrinkled clothes? What I don’t understand its only stylish if its a pre-wrinkled shirt. In other words, I can take a overly wrinkled shirt from the bottom of my dresser drawer and wear it and that is not stylish. Instead, it makes me look like a lazy slob. Now don’t get me wrong, by all means, I am a lazy slob. But, why is pre-wrinkled fine but old school wrinkled not socially acceptable? After all, I thought all things retro and old school are supposed to be in and hip. Again, this makes no damn sense. Somebody please explain this to me. I guess its just the good ol’ Douche Bags of Fashion at it again. By the way, I liked that name so much that I gave my fantasy basketball team that name. But I digress.

  Then there is the whole torn jean thing. I’ve got no problem with torn jeans. But, why is it only hip if you purchase them torn? And pay more money for them as well. Let me understand this correctly, you are buying LESS fabric and it is costing you more. How does this make a damn bit of sense. Its kind of like paying more money for a partially eaten cheeseburger that for a fresh, uneaten one. Also another hip fashion is the worn look, in which the jeans look like they have been worn out. Ok, that’s part of the beauty of jeans is buying them and watching them fade away after each wash. What I like to do is have contests with my jeans to see which one is going to last longest. That’s hard to do if its already halfway worn once you get them. I mean, how do you have any idea which pair is winning?

  I swear, fashion makes no damn sense to me.
