And Now, The Latest Installment Of "Name That Crack"!
You really do have to wonder the name of the crack designers are on sometimes. I will admit that it does hold some allure, though only in the sense that you want to just see the looks on everyone else's faces when you proudly display your newest acquisition. Inside our store, there sits a 4-piece set of luggage. It looks like a Hawaiian tourist exploded all over it.
Picture this for a moment: an otherwise black suitcase covered with white Hawaiian floral prints. And I do mean covered: top, bottom, sides, front and back. From what I've heard from another store, this style also comes in purple.
This almost rivals the crack those wacky purse designers were on when they crafted such things as Cleavagepurse, or the purses that look like someone just skinned seven or eight white (or red, or blue, or toothpaste mint green) lace doilies and slapped some handstraps on them.
And yet, it's not necessarily these designers who scare me. It's the people who seem to be buying all such strange-looking items who do geniunely frighten me. I readily acknowledge I have very little of anything resembling a sense of fashion. And yet I understand that these things are glaring violations of most colours and patterns found in nature (or in the case of Cleavagepurse, ridiculous-looking mimics thereof). Yet other people think they are somehow appealing and/or trendy.
I'm still trying to come up with a proper name for the luggage, in the meantime. "Hawaiian Tourist Suitcase" is just too bulky a name, and sounds more like some ill-conceived DC superhero from the 1970's. Likewise "Exploded Tourist" doesn't quite seem to do the suitcase design justice, since there is actually no red on the suitcase. If anyone has a suggestion, feel free to Email and let me know.
Today's Lesson: there are many ways to debate and/or argue about a movie. This is not one of them:
