The Ultimate Hybrid

Do you ever have that feeling that you want the “look” of shoes, but just can’t be bothered with all that lace-tying or sliding them on and off your feet? Do you really like the feel of socks WITHOUT shoes, but are worried your friends will laugh at you and/or ostracize you? Are you in the Witness Protection Program and can be easily recognised by your would-be assailants for your impeccable taste in footwear and need an instant disguise? Do you just want to see what it would be like to play golf without cleats? Are you THAT into argyle and wingtips that you would readily (along with handing over your firstborn) incorporate them both into your daily sock-knitting schedule? Does your school have a strict dress code including argyle socks and wingtips and you’re a rebel and want to “bend the rules?”

Then these socks, my friend, are for YOU!!!

A Conversation In The Orchard

“Come, friends. Join me in celebration of our brand new sweaters. You, Jocelyn! Looking fiiiine, girl. I love those sassy lapels. The pseudo-Navajo design really gets my motor running.

Rita? Why so glum, girlfriend? I dig your sweater, too. Red’s a good colour on you. That symbol on your sweater reminds me of the movie “Beastmaster.” Ever see it? Yeah, really. I’m not just saying that sweater’s hot on you because I have on bell-bottoms with a mile-long zipper. No, we can be all one happy sweater-wearing family. I dig cool ladies in cool styles. C’mere, Jocelyn. Stand next to me. I love your smile. What toothpaste are you using? Tom’s of Maine. Cool. Me too.

Rita! Don’t be so damn UPTIGHT! You need to relaaaaax. I’ve got something to calm you down in my back pocket. Just reach in there. Like my vest says, baby – BIRDS FLY OVER THE RAINBOW! Rrrowrrr. Now let’s go down a couple of flagons of sparkling mead. RIGHTEOUS!”
