Esquire Gives Me Ten Outfits to Wear

Esquire published the ten outfits I'm going to want to wear this spring.

Good thing they gave me some advance warning, because some of these ensembles are going to require quite a bit of planning.

For this look, I'm going to have to grow my hair out until I've achieved that nice 'I smell pot out of my car' look. (Nowadays they call it the "Italian" look.) Relax and enjoy the weather? Yup, that's a stoner talking.

Why is it that whenever someone talks about a leather jacket now they have to talk about how buttery it is? When I set out to learn more about fashion, I never knew that all I'd have to do is bone up on my dairy adjectives.

Anyway, a bomber jacket would require me growing mutton chops and learning to fix my hair using only spit and a comb.

I guess I'll have to get on that.

The jacket costs about one year's tuition at a state school.

And how am I supposed to know if I like this outfit if the model is ten feet away from the photographer? What if there's a stain on that two thousand dollar jacket?

Hmm?

To wear this look, you have to be a Russian philosopher.

There must be something wrong with these outfits, because first they shoot one from two blocks down then they put this guy behind a desk. The point isn't to get a good shot of model who-needs-to-shave, it's to show the clothing--

--isn't it?

Ohhh, the Rain Man remake is finally off the ground.

Terrific.

Don't believe me?

And I don't necessarily know if I want my torso lengthened. That just sounds inappropriate.

Well, come on, anybody would look cool standing like that.

He looks like he just flicked off the tip of a cigarette and banged a Bond girl.

Okay, what the hell is going on here?

Is the white guy looking for the black guy? Are they playing an elaborate game of designer clothing tag?

Are they in a bombed out peanut butter factory? Which of these outfits am I supposed to wear?

http://www.esquire.com/style/fashion-story/mens-spring-clothing-0210

I knew that being skinny is crucial to being a female model, but not until I gazed upon this Turkish war bride did I realize that the men were being forced to slim down as well.

This model makes Kate Moss look like Jabba the Hutt.

And what is he looking at? How they get him to look like he's yearning? Do they hold a Hostess Snack on a string off in the distance somewhere?

Looks like I better hit the treadmill.

http://www.esquire.com/style/fashion-story/mens-spring-clothing-0210

It's official--they shot this entire feature in a crack den.

http://www.esquire.com/style/fashion-story/mens-spring-clothing-0210

Okay, so I've given up on ever wearing these outfits, but here's what I think the story is on the photo shoot.

In an post-Apocalyptic world, a bunch of Russian guys just got released from prison when they stumbled upon a crack den full of designer clothing. They proceeded to try on all the clothing, play hide and seek, and stare off into the distance.

The End

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

People You Know Are More Important Than People You Don't Know

This post is in response to arguing with people--straight and gay alike--about a certain celebrity, whether or not she's an ally, if she's pandering, if pandering matters, and whether or not I'm an asshole. The last part is probably an enthusiastic "Yes" but let's reflect on this for a bit anyway without actually giving more time to an argument about a person none of us know, which is a crucial part of what I want to talk about. People you know are more important than people you don't know. I realize it's tricky in an age where we've never been closer or more engaged to our celebrities to keep in mind that we do not know them, they are not our friends, and while we may love them and stan and feel like we're attacked when they're attacked-- That is not true. That is not real. They are in no tangible way connected to us. Now, as someone who is obsessed with pop culture, I get that it's a little hypocritical for me to be making...
