The Horrors of Dressing Alike

My children never knew the horrors of seeing their middle-aged neighbors wearing matching (skin tight) powder blue turtlenecks, it's something that haunts me and I post these grim reminders today so history may never repeat itself.

Denim Devotion

 

I've never been "denim on denim" serious with a girl...

The "tie that down" shirt

Fellas, this outfit isn't complete without Capri pants and a purse of your own. Oh and change your name to Susan  because once you wear this in public, that's who you'll be.

More of the same:

Denim plus Patches equals?

Why does that girl have the Mutual of Omaha logo on her back? Why do I know what the Mutual of Omaha logo looks like? Damn you Marlin Perkins!

King and Queen of the wild frontier...

Last minute Valentines suggestions

Hey, if you woke up this morning and thought it was a normal Thursday, don't panic, I've got you covered. You can thank me later. Here are a few items that are way better than gas station flowers (trust me on this).

For Her: Jewelry, the bigger the better, personally I'm going for the unhappy toad.

Ewww, I'd pick the French one, extra classy. 

How about the latest technological innovation, his and her Digital Watches in genuine gold plate. (Warning watches get extremely hot and should not be warn on skin or near small children/pregnant people)

Candles are always a mood starter and a bonus, you can pretend you're a wizard.

However, if you truly want to make sure that you've got company for breakfast tomorrow, take some advice from our fearless leader and spokes model. A true way into a girls heart is through your outfit, show how much this made up corporate holiday really means to you by wearing the exact same outfit today. And send me some pictures while you're at it.

Happy love making, I'm off to the gas station....

Relationship Rustlers

"Circle the wagons Tex, them varmints want nothing better than to meddle and cause a heap o'trouble between you and your best gal"

Jungle Love

This togetherness will likely end when the King of the Jungle demands a sandwich from his "pride".

Dressing Alike Can Be Cool

How you ask? If you're Brick Mantooth and you and your lady of the week are wearing kick ass Dragon shirts, that's how!

DVD ALERT: House of the Wolfman, the cool new movie that is a tribute to all things Universal Monsters (It even stars Lon Chaney's grandson) is finally available on DVD. I've been waiting over a year to see this, so I'm glad to see this day come. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

Night's Romantic

Night IS Romantic and what better way suck all hope of sexual activity out of the room than with these matching unisex MuMus? Slip these unattractive puppies on and you'll both see those last, lousy 30 minutes of "Saturday Night Live". Guaranteed to work better than a teething 18 month old.

Leisure-A-Likes

Because looking like a gigantic sleaze isn't just for him anymore. Now you can both harrass Pat Benetar in that "Love is a Battlefield" video....

Vintage Halloween

I got a couple of cool Darth Vaders today, first off is Russ from Toytraderz again rocking this Ben Cooper set.

And here's Jason from Bif!Bang!Pow! (makers of those awesome Flash Gordon figures) looking cool as the Dark Lord of the Sith. The gloves really complete the outfit don't you think?

I'm pretty positive I went as Vader in '78 but I'll be damned if I can find evidence, thanks guys!

Jump-Alike

This is one of the few examples of dressing alike where it hurts both parties equally. I love the tagline that states "Casual Styles too smart to just stay at home" Yes, indeed show the world your matching jumpsuits and space age flip flops.

DVD DAY

If you're Canadian and grew up in the seventies, chances are Canadian content laws had you watch at least one episode of The Starlost before. the series was supposed to be Canada's answer to Star Trek but thanks to some US backing falling through, ended up looking like a poor cousin to Doctor Who.

Starlost follows the adventures of three young people who grew up on an Amish farm only to discover they are really on a floating space ark, whose crew has been wiped out by a "Radiation Virus" (science boo-boos like this caused creator Harlan Ellison to disown the whole show) and they must explore the other communities in the ark hoping to find someone that can steer tham away from a collision course with a sun.

All in all, the actual premise of the series is very good, it's also well acted, it's just the execution that suffers a little. The series is shot on video and much of the effects are chroma key based, the writers also seemed to have pacing problems, the exciting music breaks in at times seeming almost as if it's being ironic. With the Canadian series available, one wonders if CTV's "The Trouble with Tracy" (worst sitcom ever to many) may see DVD release.

Also available are the second season of Adam 12 and the complete series of George Peppard in Banacek.
