Fashion Commentary

I was driving through the Purdue campus today while a mass of students were attempting to go to class/home. Usually while I am driving through the Purdue campus, I notice the different fashions that are occurring for the season. What better place then a science/math/technology based university to check out the fashions for the season? Thats why I was very surprised when I saw a kid wearing a My Man Mitch t-shirt. I was shocked. Even I know that was SO yesterday. Who would be caught dead in this type of political clothing? When did this clothing style go out? Like, over a year ago? Seriously. Even I wouldnt be caught dead in this; and I accidentally wore a 2003 Democrat t-shirt (like, I totally forgot there was no major election in 2003). Obviously I do not have a good judgment of political attire.

Now, I also saw some middle-aged farmer-type person wearing a W with a slash on his shirt today. Now THAT is in style. That is the thing to be doing: speaking out against the current political party. Since we are in the middle of presidential elections it is in to wear anti-politician t-shirts. This guy should be giving the college kid some lessons.

However, after driving a few miles, I began to rethink my current position on the college students clothing choice. At first I couldnt believe anyone would be caught dead in this green and white, characterless shirt. But then I thought maybe he was trying to go retro? My Man Mitch shirts were totally in before the election and members of the Republican Party were allowed to wear this shirt after the elections since they came victorious. But six months after the election the shirts began to fade out. A year after the election people just didnt wear the shirt anymore. So you never saw the shirt since. However, now that we are two years after the election, the My Man Mitch shirts could be totally retro. Its the new tie-dyed. Amazing. After a while I thought this walking fashion foe-pa was actually a hidden fashion genius. So what did I do when I got home? Well, I didnt put on a My Man Mitch t-shirt: because I didnt have one, and wouldnt be caught dead in it before the election, and especially after the election.
