Shirts and the people that wear them

I have to admit this started off as a sappy blog about my wife getting a new job because I am failure BLAH BLAH BLAH. But then I got a package in the mail from our friends the Ballingers. They sent us cool things from Hawaii.

Now I am the first to admit I'm no Tom Selleck. The truth is I bare little resemblance to "The Mustache". In fact the only things we may have in common is copious amounts of chest hair, a love of beautiful woman and this very cool Hawaii Shirt.

According to my sources this brand new shirt I am wearing is an exact replica of the famous shirt Mr. Thomas Magnum, PI wore as he tore through the islands fighting bad guys and picking up the hottest chicks on 80's TV. These sources further claim the original shirt is now in the Smithsonian. This further proves my point that Hawaii shirt are the coolest shirts in the world. I love these kind of shirts. Big oversized shirts. I have a couple from the islands, several bought from Kohls, Costco, (I shop only the highest fashion retailers) and one very fancy bowling shirt. My favorite is my CU Hawaiian shirt.

When it comes to shirts I have one simple rule, The Uglier The Better. I love to wear them year round. I've been know to wear them in the middle of winter to brighten up the office. I have a couple I can get with wearing in the middle of week, not having to wait for "Casual Fridays" and nothing make me happier than people taking a second look just to make sure their eyes are not deceiving them. I wear them with nice slacks, sports coats, jeans, shorts, pajama bottoms, to meetings, ballgames... I think you get the picture. I love these kinds of shirts.

Mark Twain told us "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." So be happy that I have found clothes that I like to wear and really speak for who I am. Because the other option would be walking around naked. Not even Magnum would want to see that.
