But what will you take pics of mr. mac? Well, I'm glad you asked. The answer is simple
CRIMES AGAINST FASHION - SWISS STYLE
and for those of you with even the slightest hint of irony, you'll see that I used "style" right next to the word Swiss.
As I travel to and from my office every day, my senses are assaulted by various crimes against nature. Nay, against God himself. The Swiss are the worst dressed people I've ever met. But the saddest thing of all is that they actually pay top dollar for the gear they stroll around in. It beggars belief!
So in order to interest and amuse my avid reader (not a typo) I would like to present to you the first in a series of bad outfits seen solange ich unterwegs bin / en route (French and German in one post - I'm like, SO continental).
This fetching number was seated opposite me on the bus. I concede that with skin that colour - she ain't Swiss but it's all in the spirit so for the purpose of the exercise, she's in Switzerland - 'nuff said, roight?
As you can see, the ensemble is actually lilac in colour with a fetching trim of purple and lilac in a geometric pattern. The observant amongst you will note that the band which ties her braided locks matches the trim. The judges award this outfit very high marks.
Now, let's see the competition -
Mmmm, socks and rip-zips (sandals with velcro fastening) - I'm all funny inside whenever I see this "style". As you can see (apologies for the blurry pic - phonecams aren't so great), he has teamed with that theme and added a jaunty little terry towelling headband. What an awesome display from the young man. The moustache, the daisies he painted on his camera body (I wish you could see them - they're worth the admission price alone), the powder blue long-sleeved t-shirt. It's a story and a total triumph!
Tune in next time to see what I manage to dig up whilst trawling the fetid underbelly that is urban Switzerland.
Bis Später, Tschüss

must feel good, concerning oneself with the clothing of other people, poorer people, different people.. people that maybe are stuck somewhere..
while travelling around the world, being upset about soiled shirts, buying this and buying that.. while mom has a bad hair day..
almost like homer and marge in the cartoon-series, not quite as ingenious..
not so respectful
underdog dancing with rip-zips
Hi Jonathan,
Oh please steal it...I would consider it a singular honour to have you steal something of mine. All of your recent thefts have become total triumphs! I see no reason to think that this will be different.
