The literal version of A-Ha’s “Take On Me”

Random 80's riff.  Goes good with Sunday morning news and coffee.  From bunchofnerds.com.

The "Airzooka"-- I just ordered 2.

I first played with one of these things out at Humanhead studios.  They are great.  So stupid and meaningless-- yet fun.  I got 2 of them.  One for me.  And one for my son.  Perfect.  More proof that I have the maturity level of a 14 year old.

Is Barack Obama really as "Stylish" as people say?

I have been solicited to give interviews or answer questions about "How Barack's style will change the fashion industry".  It has made me scratch my head a bit and pass on the opportunity.  You may have read how Donatella Versace was inspired by our new President's fashion sense for her Spring 2009 collection.  After further inspection, as a designer myself-- I do not see how Versace connected the dots.

After seeing that image yesterday of President-Elect with W.-- it occured to me that "Barack really is not that great of a dresser".  Than as I thumbed my remote thru the talking heads on the news this morning-- they too all donned the cliche get up.  Bad 2 or 3 button suit.  Pants too big.  Wack Donald-Trump-esque solid "baby blue" or some-odd stripe tie. Basic oxford shoes. Etc. Straight out of a "Today's Man" -- two-for-one suit sale.

Clearly what we love about our new President is our NEW President.  The man-- not his frumpy clothing. So I said it...by deduction, you can hate me--- Barack does not have a great, contagious sense of style.  I do not care how many covers of Men's Vogue or GQ he gets -- he will be no less stylish; nor do I care what designers create "tribute" collections to him.  Do not count on a "blue tie" epidemic any time soon.  His style is plain, typical--- and a little like my dads (sorry dad).  And by the way-- I like him that way, thank you very much.
