That's what a ladyfriend on the phone said to me when we were talking about her and her boyfriend not able to make it to our town tonight. I had asked her, you know, got any tips for clothing stores where I can get a new shirt for myself, that I wanna wear tonight. She named a few stores and said, "Oh and stripes, stripes are in, look out for them." How could I not? Jesus, every other store had these Kanye West like shirts and everywhere I looked, they were all striped. Sideways, up and down, inside out, striped the fuck out. And what is this man, every other goddamned store has a fucking DJ in the effing store! I feel like I'm in a goddamned club or something. I also accidently walked into these model dudes that are working there, big head of hair, muscled out and wearing jeans and pink shirts (striped!) two sizes too small. I had thought I walked into one of those dummy's and dude scared the fuck out of me when he [I]moved[/I] and said "Sorry".

Still no shirt better I actually fled into the calm oasis of the large secondhand bookstore and browsed around some. My sister called me on the phone too and I was all like, sis, help me out here, where can I get a shirt for myself? She's like, just go into all the stores you never go into, there's a shirt out there for you.

I settled on a blue sweater, you know, hoodie, navycoloured (I know this because the tag said 'NAVY SIZE L'. Really comfy and wigth a zipper down the front and pockets. It's a nice Sundayafternoon "I stil haven't put my shoes on and maybe me and the guys are gonna play softball in the park and hope that she'll be there too" kinda sweater.

I heard a thing on the radio the other day about those skinny jeans that all the girls are wearing at the moment, apparently they're back out and more baggy jeans are now in. This pleases me, all the European students have been wearing them for years and I've always thought they look shit, no matter how fat or skinny the girl is they make them look top-heavy.

I found a shirt for myself in Top Man the other day, all of their stuff with designs and stuff are pikey shit but this was alright. Just a plain wine coloured shirt, even Top Shop couldn't mess that up.

No offense and all, but I just can't believe how many guys look like flaming faggots man. What's this tight jeans, the bottom rolled up, skintight pink shirts and they're all so pretty man, hell, they're looking like they fell off the VOGUE tree and hit every branch on the way down.

CRACK!

Aaaah!!

BOOM, FAKE PRADA!

Noooo!!

BOOM, IMITATION GUCCI!

You play softball in the Netherlands?

I have a sense for fashion, like I can tell what looks good and what is just rediculous and what's totally not in, but when it comes to my own clothes I am just totally unfashionable. I try to keep it in decent taste, but I just wear regular jeans and a t-shirt and something over it to keep me warm like a sweater or a pullover, but I've never been good at dressing up and looking really "cool"..

We hardly do, I used to in gym years and years back. I love it, really fun but it was more of an imagination thing. I like certain styles too, but usually I tend to dress down, because I feel really selfconscious in jackets and pantalons and boots. But I'm slowly learning.

I'm gonna buy a chef's shirt. Like the white one with the weird buttons and stuff, I dig that like you wouldn't believe.

I have a chef's shirt that I don't want. And two sets of medical scrubs, and a UPS uniform that doesn't fit me. Ebay doesn't like you to sell UPS uniforms, since you might be aiding the terrorism.

Any takers?

Also, my fashion picks for this spring:

- Unleavened bread: tortillas and communion wafers are hot!

- Clint Eastwood: look haggard, mumble and swing a gun around!

- Shorthaired dogs: Carry one under each arm at all times.

- Head trauma: pound your forehead against the monitor right now for maximum stylishness.

- Ghosts: if you're not being haunted by someone or something, you're totally missing out. Everyone who's "with it" has already desecrated a burial ground or three for maximum spectral activity.

I cannot fully express in words just how the current fashion trends are the Anti-Moon...

I fucking hate it, it's beyond ridiculous...

You know what I'd like my style to be...

I was just thinking about this, and it came to me, what I am really after...

I'm thinking of Wednesday from the Addams Family, the character...

Now, imagine what her style would be like while she's in her mid-20's...

Not like goth, but just sorta...I don't know, clunky and chunky and dark and warm...that's what I am thinking, that's what I dig...you follow?! Oh fucking nevermind...

now that's just silly. I don't care how "in fashion" it is, dressing like a girl is NOT going to get you more tail...at least not from girls.

At the library last fall, I saw a guy in a dress. It was like a gross, hairy, balding guy threw on a non-fitting sun dress before he had to return some books or whatever.

I'm still reluctant to call him the world's laziest transvestite, as he 1.) did bother to get out of the house; 2.) wore shoes (men's or women's, I can't recall) and 3.) was walking, and not in one of those little rascal scooters.

I was gonna say I hate stripes of all breeds but then I looked down and realized that I was wearing a pink stripey shirt. It might be more like a pinstripe than like, a real actual American-flag chunky style stripe, but one cannot argue with the stripitude of this shirt, and that makes me sad.

In other news, I'm going to buy a hot pink backpack today. My life is being overtaken by pink things!

I wore a pinstripe jacket once and I looked like a junkie trying impress his parole officer and interviewers to get a job cutting sheet metal. Even though later on I'd probably just turn up smacked off my tits on black ape cubes and cut all my fingers off.

Spike, the world's laziest transvestite wouldn't return library books at all, let alone read. He'd just sit on the couch in women's underwear watching daytime TV.
