Fashion: Shirt
nds!pa pomus   (+2)  [vote for, against]
same denim wear worn differently

When I was a kid, bib overalls were worn foremost by (train) engineers. Even carpenters and real farmers sported the sturdy dungarees. This utilitarian garment is back with a few changes. The crotch is opened up to pass the head through the fly, and the legs are hemmed up to the wrists.

Voila, a jeans shirt extraordinaire to match your Armani contact lenses. Add a section to the middle, the bib becomes a loincloth, and Madame is très chic in an eye-popping dress worn over panties or shorts. Named nds!pa pomus since they’re overalls upside down.

You're a strange one John. My wife doesn't like it, but I can't fishbone a drawing like that.

I'd talk to her. croissant for you

Didn't you already do upside down clothing? (Took me a few moments to figure out the title.)
-- DrCurry, Aug 17 2004


Excellent, but she doesn’t measure up to the traditional orientation—I mean, without a shirt, of course.

Did you not wish to use the gold standard?

[Doktor C] No. I did do a +shirt that can be worn backwards, sideways and/or downside up.

[thumb, skin] Yours is purttier except for the !.

Well thank goodness there's a drawing! +

Ironically, the straps add depth to an otherwise heartless tableture. I originally thought this idea was a way to distribute fabric in remade garments so to relieve the normal pattern of wear at stress points, but I see you've gone one better there [FarmerJohn]. Bravo on a neat design!

Oh jeeze. I didn't understand what you were saying whilst reading the idea, [FJ], but when I saw the drawing I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard. I'd guard that design jealously if I were you--wouldn't want to see that creation on the Yves Saint Laurent catwalk next spring with no due credit to you.

Reading these annotations, I can't determine now which of them are OK and which are flipped or rotated. At the moment, all left-to-right texts seems a bit suspicious.

(+ great idea, btw)

It's good to know I'm not the only one going cross-eyed, then.
-- Machiavelli, Aug 17 2004


I thought only my mind worked like this......expect to see this in Paris and New York next year.
-- normzone, Aug 17 2004


I got kind of turned on by that drawing. One slightly moist bun from me.
-- bungston, Aug 17 2004


Oohhhh [bungston]! That's it for me. I can't laugh anymore today. My cheeks (on my face) and abs are sore already. No more laughter...please.
-- Machiavelli, Aug 17 2004


Bungston, that's more than I needed to know.

***resists the temptation to mention cream-filled buns***
-- Machiavelli, Aug 17 2004


I don't think [FJ] requires his name under his ideas any longer. As soon as I read "The crotch is opened up to pass the head through the fly" I knew who was behind this monstrosity.
-- wagster, Aug 17 2004


Probably the line that gave bung a semi.
-- waugsqueke, Aug 17 2004


Er... semi?
-- Detly, Aug 17 2004


FJ: Nah, I distinctly remember a drawing of yours of two pairs of jeans sewn together at the leg end.
-- DrCurry, Aug 17 2004


[Detly] It's somewhere in the dictionary between noodle and woody.
-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Aug 17 2004


Shouldn't the name be ,,sumop apisdn,,?
-- supercat, Aug 18 2004


See thumbwax's anno and my reply above.
-- FarmerJohn, Aug 18 2004


agreed FJ but yours reads from right to left!
-- po, Aug 18 2004


It depends if one rotates the whole title or each letter (not quite cricket) before reading.
-- FarmerJohn, Aug 18 2004


[Zanzibar], that's exactly what I was going to say! Took the words right out of my mouth.
-- Machiavelli, Aug 18 2004


Freakin' awesome. I'm with wagster, I had to read that line at least twice to conceive, but I at once knew to whom it belonged. +unq
