Oh hey. It's been a loooooong time. Let's just forget about that before I have to make up a dumb excuse for being absent from this little bloggie for months and move on to what I would like to talk about today.
This summer I worked at Walmart in the apparel section for a between-semesters job. I spent many long hours folding clothes, straightening hangers, picking stuff up from the REALLY dusty floor, putting back returned clothing, and doing other such tedious activities. Now that I don't work there anymore I don't feel like a traitor or undercover fashion cop or whatever sharing some of the horrid articles of clothing I had to acquaint myself with. The most terrible of these were found on the men's graphic tee wall. Here is a sample:
Others: "Don't laugh it's your girlfriend's shirt" "Ladies love me" "SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG" "I'm right 97% of the time Who cares about the other 4%"
I just want to burn them. Burn them all.
And the boy's section was almost as bad:
So I don't have anything against graphic t-shirts. I just like them when they are clever and/or witty and/or cool. Not obnoxious, overused, and completely un-funny. Like I think all of the above are. I could go on, but I am getting a little too irked right now. SO I will stop.
Wait, one more. Whilst I was browsing for pictures, I found this shirt on Walmart.com. I never saw this in the store but it takes the cake. The loser cake I mean.
Something that both misuses the word "epic" and features the word "swag" deserves to be obliterated from the face of this planet. Seriously though.
WHY?
So besides having to make those completely irritating articles of clothing look nice and attractive to buyers... my job wasn't that bad.
P.S. There are also plenty of lovely clothes at Walmart and I'm not saying you shouldn't shop there. I'm just revealing my personal preferences in graphic clothing. If you don't agree, that's totally cool with me!
Okay, tata. Perhaps I'll be back soon. Perhaps not. It's a mystery. But those are the best right?
