Houndstooth Friday

I heard someone refer to Black Friday as "Houndstooth Friday," and at first I thought it was pretty funny-- but what in the hell does that mean? I guess it has something to do with the disappointment in retail sales, and nothing at all to do with the disappointment in fabric choices. As usual, everyone completely misses the point. And they go around wearing it, as if it is no crime whatsoever.

The Season Is Upon Us

Fall, winter, and spring are all, unfortunately houndstooth season, these days. The designs have gotten bolder, the pattern more prevalent, and my world is shrinking to the point where I have nowhere to hide. To illustrate my point, I was looking at satellite photos of my dear, dreaded town on a google map, and when you zoom into the closest setting you can go, if you see a well populated street, you can MAKE OUT THE HOUNDSTOOTH DESIGNS -- at least the unfortunately over-sized ones. Houndstooth you can see from space! It's a sad state of affairs.
