Fashion (Blog 98)

What do you do if you’re poor and can’t afford decent clothes? You could go punk and make it seem like looking like you’ve just fallen into a shredder was intentional. You might even want to use a nail as an earring. Even though I thought that fashion was long dead, I saw someone making the most out of it not too long ago and doing all of the just described. Interestingly, that person seemed like he had Indian heritage. I had no idea the country ever had a punk scene. Did the natives once recite the lyrics of ’God Save the Queen’ in Hindi? The Sex Pistols song perhaps covered by their own groups? I’ve never heard of people doing that, though Britain did once rule the place. (Not so random now, huh?) Still, maybe he took inspiration from the classic English Sex Pistols, instead? But they were around decades ago! In comparison, how often do you see someone wearing high heels and driving three wheel cars? Never, right? Let the past go and dress like a normal person. Or should you?

You may know that I have an anarchic dog that keeps chewing my stuff. Recently, he’s had another go at my shoes and even the pedals on my bike. But, could I make THAT look intentional? Not so much punkish, but more ‘dog owner chic’, as I like to call it. I’ve also recently trod on my glasses, breaking them and making them extremely wonky. Maybe I could combine my spectacles with my attacked clothes and make a more distinctive ‘Simon chic’. A style that suggests a highly accident prone nature, but one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Having said all that, I will be going to the opticians (wearing my spares) later to get myself some new frames. Simon chic is all good and fine when walking down the street, but it’s very hazardous whilst driving in cars. What if my glasses fall apart even more? Not good.

Car-ing in near blindness would be illegal in fact and therefore, more hardcore than punk ever was. :O

I’m back from you know where with excellent news; I didn’t have to buy anything, I just had a minor operation on my speccies that involved installing another screw. However, the eye specialist couldn’t fully straighten out my frame, as that would be too dangerous and could cause a snappage. It seems I’m going for Simon chic-light with my half-fixed visual aids. Yes, in this blog you get three spanking new fashion styles, all for free. Do I have an original music genre to go along with my innovations? (Yes, I am aware that fashion usually follows music, not the other way round). Hmmm…. How about tunes in the style of Deftones, but faster? That’s my new form, obviously called Simoncore, or Dog Owner Core if you think that’s too self-centred. And for the 98th time, now… Byeeeeeeee.
