Welcome, one and all, to my new blogging project!
Some of you may know me as one half of the guilty party over at World Of Poot - a little venture we set up just about one year ago to service the minds of the special people. Don't worry, WOP is still going strong, and I haven't jumped ship - I've simply pounced on a theme which appears to be much-debated these days amongst our fellow Pooters and so-called 'friends'...
Shirts: their appreciation or otherwise.
We all like a good shirt, don't we? So much choice in colours, patterns, materials, opportunities to express oneself... it really is versatility personified.
But - and it is a big 'but' - where do you draw the line? I mean, sure, the shirt is a practical garment; it keeps you warm, makes you presentable at weddings & funerals, business functions, the 'meet the parents' debacle and, most importantly, it stops you being naked from the waist up! Certainly this last quality is a definite plus point for me since I have 'not quite found the time' to get myself down the gym lately!
There comes a point, just like that bit in Thelma & Louise or the 'camp fire scene' in Blazing Saddles, where there's just no turning back - you've gone too far, even if you don't realise it. That instant when not even the hope, prayers and friendly slaps in the face with a wet haddock from loved ones will save you from yourself.
Come on, admit it. I've done it, he's done it, and lord knows you've definitely done it - we are all guilty of committing harry carry in an ill-considered and misguided momentary fug of fashion faux-pas. And the worst bit - we continue to do it time and time again!
This site, then, is a celebration. A celebration of the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, the ironic and the blatantly style-impaired. It's a place to hold your hands up, to get that shirt off your chest and to exclaim:
"Well, I like it... and that's all that matters!"

But....but....where are the t-shirts!!!?
ReplyDeleteThis blog is not relevant to my interests!
Nice yellow though...and that's all that matters really!
Ahhh... so, first to comment, eh?! Isn't that just typical?! Lol
ReplyDeleteAs for your beloved t-shirts, this is a topic which I am certain will be up for debate along the way :)
Excellent! You asking the pixie to get her t-shirt off her chest???
ReplyDeleteWell - good luck with your new blog - ahem shipjumper lol. Noooo....I understand. Really.
Here's to ACLOS! Sounds like a Greek resort!
Welcome Mitch - second to the party. Isn't that just typical? Lol
ReplyDeleteShipjumper?! Well there's support for you... I guess it's times like these which tell you who your friends really are?!
Oh, and what the pixie does with her t-shirt is her business - I mere hold the camera.
Ahem :D
Third, and I'm worried about Google telling me to 'get it off my chest' as if the shirt wasn't firmly attatched enough. I'll add a few shirts in there, and someday will show you the full glory of the wardrobe. I'd even invite Nev to go 'into my wardrobe' like through the keyhole, but a bit seedier. Anyhoodle. B x
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard Ben!
ReplyDeleteAny input is greatly appreciated.
early days yet, of course, but I'm going to look into adding an 'email me' tab shortly, so readers can send their glorious examples for all the world to see :)
Also hoping that our lobster-shaped friend will be able to come up with a snazzy new logo for the top of the page - actually, I shudder to think what he's going to come up with!
