Wearing plaid to a party is never a good idea What do we want? Ice cream! When do we want it? Now! How’re we going to get it? Umm… Yeah… apparently Ben & Jerry’s free cone day is today. Unfortunately, the closest shop is in Georgetown. You can punch me in the face and call me Sally if you think I’m going set foot in that part of town without a better incentive than that. Seriously, I’m not a fan of the area. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it (other than the fact that it’s full of pretentious yuppies who think they’re better than everybody else) and nothing traumatizing happened to me there (other than being blinded by the sight of multiple men in pink polos with popped collars on multiple occasions). I just don’t like the place. Honestly, I’ve never had anything good come from my infrequent forays there and the overall impression I get of the people gives me all the more reason to argue for mass sterilization. No one who wears leggings over a baggy hippie shirt with sunglasses that look like they could devour their face should be allowed to procreate. I know it may be in fashion, but there’s a big difference between having fashion and having style. Fashion is when you pay $100+ for the latest trend just so that you can flash your name-brand, ugly-ass bauble around and proclaim your yuppie entitlement to the world. Style, on the other hand, is a bit different. Style is when you can take your Target-boutique jewelry, pair it with a hand-me-dwon dress that used to belong to your friend, and show up to a party with more class than anyone else. In the words of my friend, Johnny, whose party I had the pleasure of attending this weekend, “Who is this guy wearing a plaid shirt at my cocktail party?” That guy obviously had neither style, nor fashion. Maybe he was from my hometown. Don’t worry. I’m not trying to hate on the good people of the midwest. I don’t hate, I stimulate. Plaid shirts aside, there are several important points you should take away from this blogging: - Georgetown sucks. I don’t care how much free ice cream they have – I’m not going. - Plaid is never a good idea, no matter where in the country you live. - Leggings are also never a good idea unless you’re me at age 8 and you don’t know any better. - People should throw more parties and invite me because, as we all know, I am awesome. (btw – I’m throwing one of my own either the last weekend of May or the first weekend of June, so mark your calendars) |
