05.16.07 Word Up

At this point in the history of the world (or at least western civilization) I think we've all accepted words across the front of a t-shirt. I'm not talking about words like "Calvin Klein" on the front of a t-shirt, I'm talking about words like "Foxy". Yes, you ladies who wear those t-shirts know who you are. A bit less accepted (though quickly catching up) are the sweatpants with the words across the ass (usually boasting the likes of "Juicy").

I can understand, if not support, these trends. While I've always been of the "I'll look if I want to but don't force me to," school of thought, women have a right to draw attention to parts of their body by making me read things plastered across them. C'est la vie.

But then the other day, while walking down the street, I noticed a girl in front of me wearing a green polo with the collar turned up. And what was on the underside of her collar, just where I could read it? The word "Dreamy".

When did this begin? Did I miss something? Words on the underside of the collar?

I immediately went to the internet to figure out what was going on, but after extensive searching the best I could find was a polo shirt for men by Project E that had the word "Hipster" on the underside of the collar. Close, but no cigar.

But seriously. Words on the underside of the collar?

Where are we putting words next, people? Because if I see words on the crotch I am falling out of society. I swear to god.
