Cover your shame!

In what order do you get dressed?

Me:
1) Underwear
2) Undershirt
3) Socks
4) Pants
5) Work Shirt

Shouldn't I put on my socks before my shirt? I think it must be spare-tire shame - the sooner I get it covered, the sooner I can try to forget it's there.

Uh huh. Sure fellah.


If companies were really interested in being green, how about shirts that don't need to be dry cleaned, washed, rinsed, softened, pressed, ironed, starched, and otherwised fussed with? Wash and hang dry, without looking like this.

If Yoda owned a Dry Cleaners

Starch,.or no starch...There is no 'light'.

Over the past couple of months, I've been taking my work clothes to a dry cleaners near my work - it's really the first time I've used a dry cleaners regularly - every other visit was for 1 outfit, for a special occasion.

One of my shirts are made of a rather thick material, and when starched it turned into cardboard. My coworkers gleefully took the opportunity to tease me about my cottony body armor - - ha ha, indeed, ha ha - - all in good fun.

I decided to stop going to the cleaners (mostly because it involves just one more errand to run every week, and who needs that) and last night I tossed my work shirts in the washer for the first time in weeks. I hung them to air dry.

This morning, I pulled on my aka-body-armor shirt, and it was much softer, more like - I don't know - an actually comfortable garment - and it still had the creases in the sleeves, its collar still arched like an irked feline. When I got home from the grocery store, I threw it back into the 'dirty' pile for a rewashing. Will one more wash be enough to expunge its chemical fortitude? Tune in next week!

Plural Clothing is IN, Baby!

Cindy and I are among the cuddliest couples I've ever known, and clothes designed to be worn by two people at once still seems to be going a bit too far. Cute though!

You can check out the website here. I recommend the hand-holding gloves, cause damn but that's precious.
