Animal Print Speedo vs Fishnet Shirt

It was half hour pass twelve on a Saturday morning when I was still up drawing work related business process flows. Nothing commendable about working at that hour but necessary as I needed time to digest the satisfying late dinner that I had from one of my favorite restaurants. One may say that there are other fun activities that I could have done for the aforementioned purpose. However, I could not feel free having fun when work was hanging over my head. To entertain myself while I complete the mundane assignment, I listened to a collection of songs that I had accumulated on iTunes.

Close to completing my work, I decided to take a short break and investigate songs that are listed on the iTunes single chart. Perusing down the chart, one title caught my eye. It was ‘Sexy and I Know It’. I was very surprised that this song piqued my curiosity simply because whenever this single came on the radio (since late 2010), I would switch to the classical or jazz station. The mere thought of knowing that this single was released by the same group that created ‘Party Rock Anthem’, turned me off. I have never liked ‘Party Rock Anthem’. This song was made worst by a Kia advert that decided to use *hamsters dancing in the background to promote the 2012 Kia Soul. The ad was very disturbing. Also, what does ‘Everyday I’m shufflin’ even mean???!!!

*Mel, you should show this ad to your hammies. Maybe they'll learn something....

Nonetheless, I went on YouTube to check out ‘Sexy and I Know It’. When five dudes donned in animal print bicycle pants came on, I knew it was bad news. Despite my reservations, I continued watching. And lo and behold!, what came on the 58th second of the video was a dude wearing nothing but animal print Speedo prancing around. One would think that I would stop the video especially since I covered my eyes with both hands. No, I continued. Peeling my hands of my eyes and still smiling, I continued watching. On the 2nd minute and 13th second mark, I burst out laughing.

By then I have stopped watching but allowed the video to complete in the background nonetheless. I was cracking up none stop. Why would anyone make this? The consolation from watching the video and listening to the song? A good laugh and a memory of a better single. Ladies and gentlemen from my era, allow me to jog your memory with Right Said Fred’s, ‘I’m Too Sexy’.

A song poking fun at the fashion industry; now this is a classic.

I’m too sexy for my work, too sexy for my work, too sexxxyyyyy……….

Just for One Day – Ring in the New Year Looking Like……….

Earlier this month after lunch, J and I passed by the bakery we frequent like always. A poster plastered on the store front caught my eye. What caught my eye was a pair of earmuffs. The Christmas cakes that the bakery was trying to promote were secondary to me. The earmuffs on the other hand, were fluffy and looked like the right size for anyone. Just like that I was suckered in. Nonetheless, we decided to purchase the cake for Christmas.

Came the day before Christmas Eve, we bought the cake. The cake looked delicious and pretty. A pity that I did not take a picture of the cake. However, what surprised me was the size of the earmuffs. They looked fluffier and bigger than the ones shown on the poster.

I am not so sure if I will put those on when I go out in public. It looks kawaii but really???

Nonetheless, I was playing with the earmuffs and noticed that on each side of the earmuffs were stickers with the word ‘Press’ on them. Initially, I assume that pressing the respective areas will adjust the width of the earmuffs to fit ones head. I was very much mistaken as you can see……….

DJJJJJ in the club.....

This would have been cool if I was a DJ in a club and what I had on are headphones. In fact, I made a movie clip pretending to be a DJ with those UFO headphones on scratching a record (for my eyes only) - humor helps.

Anyways, be safe and enjoy the New Year!

Hhhmm........Will I be wearing this out on a cold winter night? I may. Without the UFO lights turned on of course. After all, this does not come close to the fluffy elf hat I wore accompanying J to Home Depot the year before.
