Fair Wear

So I head out of the office Friday and on to The Big E, New England's
largest fair, to eat junk, ride throw up rides and scope out the
fashion. What I saw was more than a little appalling.
I'm no prude, but people who don't shower, stray months from their
pedicurist (or own bathroom clippers), eschew the dentist, and forego
the salon, are asking to get ripped apart. And how about leaving the
80s alone? Acid wash black jeans look just as crappy now as they did
then.
Hell-o! I'm not saying you have to wear pearls and tweed, but how
about a nice tee-shirt without a "Beer, The Cause and Solution To All
My Problems" slogan?
First impressions count. Not that fair-goers are trying to impress--it
should be all about fun I know--but come on, why broadcast to the
world that you're an idiot? Comb your hair, remove your chipped
polish, shave, and for God's sake leave your "Wanted: Meaningful
Overnight Relationship" sweatshirt home.
