Please...

Please, people, have mercy. Stop wearing houndstooth now before it is too late. It is already too late, but still... please... stop...

I don't know what else to say. I stop people in the street and ask, why are you wearing that? How can you wear that? Don't you know what you're doing? Don't you realize how you affect people?

When I see someone wearing a big, bold houndstooth design garment, it's exactly as if they were walking down the street with a giant sweatshirt with the giant word FUCK printed across it in bold day-glo orange helvetica.

Everyone gets the message, sure, and no one misses it. It's just that some of us want to be able to walk here and there and take public transportation and be out in the world generally without being made to FOCUS on the visual textile design representation of everything that is wrong with everything, everywhere, all the time.
