Street Clothes (T-shirt edition)
T-shirts are clearly a big product these days. We've all seen them for sale online: retro shirts, "clever" shirts, geeky shirts, shirts for hipsters which somehow fail to fall into these previous categories, et cetera. But recently I've been surprised to see people actually wearing a few particular shirts as they wander through midtown Manhattan:
Exhibit A: A teenage girl whose brightly colored shirt happily displayed a tastefully altered Sanrio icon with the text "Hello T*tties."
Exhibit B: A slender woman who proudly bore upon her chest the declaration "THESE are my all-access pass."
Exhibits C and D: Two different men (seen on separate occasions), both rather unassuming looking, unassuming that is apart from their t-shirts which indicated (arrow up) "The Man" and (arrow down) "The Legend."
Exhibit E: An Asian man with thin graying Mr. Rogers hair, wearing board shorts and old running shoes and a T-shirt advertising "The Erogenous Zone: A playground for swingers."
Comments
Sitting in a doctor's office in Cheyenne, Wyoming this morning, I saw a woman wearing a shirt that said in huge letters - "My Favorite Fantasy - TWO MEN!". The woman was unfortunately neither slender nor attractive. But I guess we're all allowed to fantasize, aren't we?
