Always Get A Second Opinion




You are supposed to get them with doctors and I believe you should get them before purchasing an article of clothing. This gentleman clearly did not. Or, if he did, someone lied through their teeth. These "all over print" sweatshirts were popular a couple years ago. Some would have dollar signs (always a terrible choice because no matter what capacity it is in, the dollar sign on the shirt or necklace is always a sign that the wearer actually has no money but they don't see it that way) or animals or any other wacky thing that seemed cool.
But the one that was probably the most popular was the skull. Skull on the shoes, skull on the shirt, here a skull, there a skull, everywhere a skull skull! Perhaps this was the only sweatshirt available in this gentleman's size. Perhaps it was a gift and he didn't want to be mean and he kept it. Or, perhaps he thinks it is a great sweatshirt AND was shopping with this lady with whom he is walking with and she said its a great piece of clothing.
"This sweatshirt is mad cool, huh?"
"Yeah, its pretty cool"
"You see all the skulls all over?"
"Yeah, mad skulls."
"They is in different colors and all over"
"Yeah. You should get it."
"Yeah I am. Its mad fresh"
That is the only possible dialogue that could have occurred prior to going to the register.

Where's Waldo? Found him














Outside of the Waldo man you have Wilson. I got Wilson to go along with this and make it seem like I'm taking a picture of him while I capture this red gentleman.
I believe this was a photo from the Holidays but it might make it even better if it wasn't. What I really want to know is if this gentleman had all of this in his closet or if he had to borrow from friends. From the red kicks with a little white to the all red chords to the candy cane jacket, this guy knew what he wanted to accomplish and did it. He could have stopped there but went with the accessories: the red shades and the ambiguous red blush/face paint. The jacket is easily the best part of the outfit and I am not quite sure what the broom/dust pan thing is dangling on his chest.
Even though your attention is attracted to the red man, let's not overlook Wilson. Whenever solo shots are taken they are slightly awkward. No matter what. (Unless its a photo shoot and your name ends in Depp) Note to reader: try to avoid solo shots and if you must have them, do something goofy so it looks like you are not that into it.
