I have shirt envy

[beccaelizabeth]

MacGyver is really very 80s a lot of the time, especially the hair, but some of it I really like. Especially the shirts. Different collars, different patterns, wider range of colours. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but it seems like there's very little variety in menswear any more. Stripes, plaid, plain, maybe some little dots, almost all blues and greys. Masculinity has just narrowed right down. It's annoying.

Also I used to have a really good rainbows colors shirt and there's nothing even vaguely like it since the 80s. And I've been looking. Granted it was kind of up there with the 6th Doctor's coat in colorful, but I liked it. Clothes went and got boring. T-shirts can be anything as long as it prints in a square, but nice all over woven patterns, boring now.

... wow I'm being an old.



Today my day has had 3 phone calls from a call center with crappy sound quality who tell me I've been in an accident. No, nope, and no I have not, thanks for calling go away. Can they make money from me picking up? It seems very stupid. Like spam but more work.


Other than that my day is pretty boring.
I really need to think of things to do.

In the early 80's for Xmas my dad once received what the family called his "Disco" shirt. It was purple and black and silver in an abstract sorta square Mod pattern.

It was absolutely ludicrous looking, especially on a man in his 60's born in 1924. He loved it to death, much to my mom's chagrin. :)
