An Interview With: Nouk Baudrot
You may remember Nouk from a recent post. I became very intrigued with his style, and I had a few questions for him which turned into an interview, with topics ranging from personal responsibility to what exactly style is.
“You can always judge a person coming out of the supermarket, being the most hilarious fashion mishap on earth. But don’t waste your time and energy on it, eventually all the derision makes you bitter and takes away the ability to be really, and truly happy about the one person coming out of the supermarket being absolutely magnificent.”
Today is one of those days I remember
when Dallas boys were inspired and went to London.

Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male
Sasha Baron Cohen was escorted from a fashion show in Milan on Friday.
After a few minutes of darkness while Baron Cohen, or Bruno, was escorted off the catwalk, the show started again. Models had kept their cool but the designer was visibly upset when she appeared at the end of the show.

Note to self
Don’t wear yellow shirt to Ikea.
kinky or what……
A question for the ladies.
If you found out that your husband had a thing for wearing women’s underwear what would you do?
A question for the men.
If you found out your mate was a bit of a cross dresser what would you do?

The typeface example blocks on Wikipedia are gorgeous.
I’ve long dreamed of a simple t-shirts: individual typeface names, in the typeface. One day, as soon as I get a new screen for my serigraphy set-up.

Postal Kilt
Dean Peterson, a U.S. Postal carrier, is campaigning for the right to wear Male Unbifurcated Garments — kilts — on the job.
“Unbifurcated Garments are far more comfortable and suitable to male anatomy than trousers or shorts because they don’t confine the legs or cramp the male genitals the way that trousers or shorts do,” he wrote. “Please open your hearts — and inseams — for an option in mail carrier comfort!”

What Cindy Said
“Daryl, you need a new belt–it’s getting close to funeral season.”
dear clusterflock,
I was looking at my t-shirts today, and I realized I no longer have any good t-shirts. Well, I have a Morrissey t-shirt that I bought from his concert a few years ago, and that’s a cool one. I think I would like to have some very good, very cool t-shirts. So if anyone wants to send me one, email me, I wear a size large, and I will be forever grateful and will in return send you something really nice!

Shirt Log
I have a number of shirts, thanks to Cindy who is great at finding deals on the sort I like–vintage, and those made by Patagonia. She once found a lot of six of them on e-bay for about what two of them would have cost retail. But I have favorite shirts among them that I tend to wear about as soon as they are washed and hung up again. I don’t really care much about my appearance in terms of fashion, but last semester I started to get paranoid that I was wearing the same shirt, every week, to classes that met once a week. I tried to make a point of remembering what I wore the week before, but I couldn’t do it–I always forgot and couldn’t remember the next day what I had worn the day before. So, on the little pad of paper I always carry I started to write down each day the date and what shirt I wore. But then I lost the pad. And when I got another one it just seemed like too much of a burden to write that down each day. So, screw it–I’ll just imagine that I wear a uniform to work and leave it at that.
The Dirty Italian
I just don’t care enough about wrinkles to ever begin to think about doing something like this:
An Italian man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from a pub, taking her home and forcing her to iron his clothes and wash the dishes, police said Monday.
The 43-year-old man dragged the woman out of a pub in the port city of Genoa, shoved her into a car and took her to his home where he made her iron and wash dishes after threatening her, they said.
Besides, why didn’t he just get his mom to do it?
Last night
I went to Wal-Mart and bought a pair of black shorts emblazoned with CUBA CITY CUBANS in yellow.

Re-Shirts are used t-shirts with a history
Re-shirt sells t-shirts with a history.
It all starts with a T-shirt that someone associates with a special memory: an important career step, an unforgettable football match, a demonstration in Guatemala, the feeling of an entire stage in their life. These shirts are collected, quality inspected, and put on display at www.re-shirt.net. When one of these shirts is purchased, it is given its very own orange Re-Shirt Label, a number is printed on it, and it begins a new registered life. Every future owner can now document the experiences they have with their Re-Shirt online and continue the story of this piece of clothing.

Sheila is sad.
I was just fixing to post this mess down below when I got word of Bo Diddley’s death. Thought about postponing the below-down mess, then said to myself, No.
Hey. What are friends and ‘flockers for?
I know. I know. I am the Queen of Broken Promises — but this week I do hope to post a meditation on the death of Yves Saint Laurent.
In the meantime, I leave you with this, the conclusion to Anne-Marie Shiro’s front-page piece in today’s New York Times. I wept when I read it.
“Every man needs aesthetic phantoms in order to exist,” Mr. Saint Laurent said at the [2002] announcement of his retirement. “I have known fear and the terrors of solitude. I have known those fair-weather friends we call tranquilizers and drugs. I have known the prison of depression and the confinement of hospital. But one day, I was able to come through all of that, dazzled yet sober.”
He-Man and the Masters of the Univers
Chris is debating whether to make this t-shirt. My vote is hell yes.
