Shirt Trick–Urgently Needs Modification
Okay, it’s time to show you some new trends that my husband has come up with. This little “shirt trick,” if you will, is classified as UNM (Urgently Needs Modification). But I have been trying to change this new habit, and nothing is working. My husband thinks it’s a work of genius, and he’s not giving it up. See the photo:
Who can identify the obvious problems here? Well, 1) There’s a piratey looking skull on the shirt 2) The skull is florescent green. 3) The shirt is wrinkled as if it’s been crumpled into a ball, yet hanging as if it’s ready to wear to work tomorrow morning–as I am sure it will be.
However, we haven’t even gotten to the trend. This looks like one shirt, doesn’t it? NO, IT IS TWO SHIRTS. My husband must have seen middle school and high school rock-n-roll students wearing heavy metal T-shirts over sweatshirts. And then he decided that this is his new look. He even says that when I ask him to stop: “No, this is my new look.”
In addition, when he takes the shirts off, provided they are still clean (and in my husband’s mind, clothes are ALWAYS clean), he takes them off simultaneously and hangs them up together, just like this.

My husband also works in the film industry (did a 9 year stint at ILM, as a matter of fact, before moving to a large animation house….recently acquired by a certain famous mouse…but that’s all besides the point). Your posts could be describing him exactly - the shirts the pants, the dress shoes, the buying presents he likes for your gifts….hilarious!

[…] talking not one T-shirt, not one time–only sweatshirts, sweaters, and the two-shirt trick thing. It’s very bizarre. When we go to stores together, strangers have come up to me and said, […]

[…] a row. No sir. He certainly never has gas that smells bad. And his wearing two shirts (as described here) in the 100 degree Hollywood heat–well, that just makes him smell even better than […]
