Yes, it's true. I just found out yesterday that I was within about a week or so of being ambushed and forced to clean up my act on national television. My "friends" had worked it with the NASA powers-that-be, and they were all set to go when the production company waved off on thier trip to DC. Whew! Coming between me and my Hawaiian shirts would be like trying to get between Dean and denim.

If you don't mind a serious question on this, well, even if you do mind, since I'm going to ask it anyhow... Does it bother you at all that your "friends" (yes, the quote marks are noted) tried to organize this? Or do you see it as a big joke? Are you laid back and thinking, "heck, hair grows back, and Hawaiian shirts can be re-bought." or more like "$5,000 worth of new clothes, woot!" Would you have fought for your Hawaiian shirts? Put your foot down and held onto them? Or would you have been to embarrassed to go against them (which is what I believe happens to most people on that show).

The whole thing does sound rather funny, but for some reason it's disturbing too. I don't know why people want to change other people so much, it's something I don't think I'll ever understand. There's that saying, "The clothes make the man." but I think there are a lot of mean, greedy, narrow-minded people running around in designer labels and if that's what makes, them, I'm rather glad I'm unmade. Eeep, didn't mean to get preachy...

Oh well, answer if you want to, I've now got to go have lunch with a bunch of co-workers who are always harassing me about my style (or lack thereof).
