Here’s why I like it when kids pop the collars of their polo shirts: it’s a subtle and convenient way of letting me know who the douchebags on college campuses are. Here, I’ll explain.
The history of the polo shirt is actually quite interesting. The shirt, designed in the 19th Century, was originally used as a jersey for sports such as rowing, soccer and polo (hence it’s name). No where in this history did I find that the intended use for the polo was so that young douchebags all over the nation could flip up their collar needlessly and call it fashion. In fact, the proper attire for playing polo required a tennis sweater over a buttoned down collared shirt “to keep the collar out of [the] player’s faces”. Go figure.
I just really don’t think it’s such a great idea to listen to everything Usher tells us to do. In conclusion, my message here is not to hate, it is only this: It’s ok to wear a polo like it was meant to be worn. In fact, I think it’s better because for one brief moment, you won’t be seen as such a tool.
Maybe I’m just judging these Collar Poppers too harshly, after all, what if they’re incognito?
To recap:
Site Developments:
There are no special updates although I am planning on adding some new themes but I have yet to pry my nose out of a book long enough to work on one (or edit any of the downloadable wordpress themes). I’d also like to add an image gallery which I hope will organize the goodies such as scans, wallpapers etc. I try to be consistent but it’s hard because I’m lazy. I snagged one of the gorgeous banners off of Comotized.com which will be rotated at The Martini Lounge.
On a more personal level, I’m slightly put off because I keep getting curt letters from Capital One instead of friendly letters from my penpals that I was so used to recieving. If Capital One thinks he’s just going to ask for money without so much as a “Hello, how are you doing” he is sorely mistaken.
