Now is the time for all good men…

The suave and intellectual Smitty of the Other McCain has not always seen eye to eye on sartorial matters with yours truly; for example, readers may recall the Neck-Wear Skirmish.

Yet I believe that Smitty and I – and all right-thinking people, for that matter – can join together in rejecting this fashion blight, this stench in the nostrils of masculine elegance, this sign of the end times.

  1. I've worn thermals for warmth. But not for fashion.

    This stuff? Ugh!

  2. Yes, definitely a sign of the apocalypse. And confirmation of Elaine Benes' timeless observation that womens's bodies are works of art, and men's bodies utilitarian.

  4. ...there is a cult following for mantyhose.

    And we all know how most cults end.

  7. I posted a link to the article on my FB page, with the suggestion that my brother would appreciate this, this, "clothing", as a gift for his upcoming birthday.

    His response? "Where do you find this s**t???"

    I'm trying to think of a way to tell him I've outsourced this sibling torment to a subsidiary of Paco Enterprises......

  8. Jeff: HAW! That should be the subtitle on this blog's banner: "Where does he find this s**t?"

  9. Brings to mind poor old deluded Malvolio:

    MALVOLIO
    'Be not afraid of greatness:' 'twas well writ.

    OLIVIA
    What meanest thou by that, Malvolio?

    MALVOLIO
    'Some are born great,'--

    OLIVIA
    Ha!

    MALVOLIO
    'Some achieve greatness,'--

    OLIVIA
    What sayest thou?

    MALVOLIO
    'And some have greatness thrust upon them.'

    OLIVIA
    Heaven restore thee!

    MALVOLIO
    'Remember who commended thy yellow stocking s,'--

    OLIVIA
    Thy yellow stockings!

    MALVOLIO
    'And wished to see thee cross-gartered.'

    OLIVIA
    Cross-gartered!

    MALVOLIO
    'Go to thou art made, if thou desirest to be so;'--

    OLIVIA
    Am I made?

    MALVOLIO
    'If not, let me see thee a servant still.'

    OLIVIA
    Why, this is very midsummer madness.
