There are times when I would like nothing more than to not speak throughout an entire day. Those days would require some sort of explanation, preferably one that could be read by people from a distance, say a message on a shirt. That message would be:
I believe wearing a shirt like this would keep people away, or at least at a distance. I love that this isn't even a tee shirt. I'll be sure and wear my low-rise jeans that are a size too small with it as to have the "muffin top" effect. I think that makes the outfit.
It reminds me of the "Frankie Say Relax" Frankie Goes to Hollywood tee from back in the day. I think I need one of those, too. And the "Choose Life" tee from the Wham! video. I really need the Wham! shirt. Yes, I definitely need that one.
Which brings to mind an idea, I'm thinking of starting a new feature on the Kerry Blog. I'm not sure what to call it, but the idea is after a radio station in Atlanta I loved that had "Resurrection Sunday" and played all '80s music for a few hours. Love love love that. I'm not stealing the title, never liked the title, but love the premise — with a Kerry Blog twist. Now, this is purely for entertainment purposes, not for education as I will not be introducing bands to you as I do on Tunes You Need Tuesdays. No, our Sunday Rewind will be all about the '80s with a few '90s leftovers and because I'm a girl, I'm sure will be full of a lot of my old crushes from back in the day.
Our inaugural Sunday Rewind kicks off with one of my faves, Wham! I love me some Wham! I love the era of Wham! as well, back when George Michael was the hottest guy on the planet and I thought I could grow up and be one of the Wham! back-up singers. Today's song is "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" because it features some of my favorites: George Michael's perfect hair, the Choose Life tees, the gloves, saxophones, black-light and neon stuff, and The Short Shorts. Oh, The Short Shorts! Here you go-go!
Here's a bonus for your Sunday: the Wham! Rap. This is one of my all-time favorites. How can you not love a song that celebrates unemployment and looking cool? That's all kinds of awesome. This is the original version of the song, not the one released in the US (oh, crap, I slipped some song education in there, didn't I?) . Anyrap, pay attention to the fashion in the video — it's worth watching to see George Michael and Andrew Ridgely in capris. I'm serious. And it's George before the blonde highlights. You're welcome.
