Transcript of Wearing something
Wearing Something:
We wear garments. We wear apparel for warmth, shelter and protection, modesty, and utility. The garments are made from the skins of animals we eat, animals that eat us, plants that grow
in the forest or fields, or in past times; dress formed by a blacksmith in his shop. [Pictured. Pitre 2a.jpg] Custom made Italian armor cost the knight about 25% of his annual income. We may wear our heart on our sleeve, or wear many hats if we work in commerce. We can throw down our gauntlet, tip our hat, or lose our shirt. Clothes make the man, but I think clothes do more for the woman. Mark Twain said: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” Men don’t dress for other men for the most part, but women dress for other women more often. Of course, I am willing to be disabused of this notion.
I’ve surveyed some topics and offer a variety of dress for particular occasions:
Dangerous Sports and Accident wear: [Pictured. Pitre2b.jpg], suited up, prior to a thorough
and piercing test with the local police department canine
unit. They need more volunteers, I’m sure. This suit also
doubles as a Chaperone Suit when I chaperone parties for
my niece who is now in the 8th grade.
Night wear/ Evening wear – Not all night wear is worn at
night. True rebels and fashionistas wear it to Walmart
throughout the day, as witnessed by photographs
displayed on http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/photos/
An example: [Pictured. Pitre2c.jpg]

Prison wear – Seated; [Pictured. Pitre2d.jpg] with my “classmates”, circa 1999.
Work wear – my primary work
wear includes: canvas pants,
work boots, a sweatshirt, and
an old butcher’s apron. A
large, web belt and canvas
pouch is obligatory with this
practical utility costume.
Flight wear – I mean airplanes,
dirigibles, hot air balloons…not
what I would wear escaping
from jail.
Sex wear – eatable covering
made from dehydrated fruits,
vegetables and herbs. Usually
applied with brush or air gun.
A young lady could step into a
booth for the application of a quick-setting and drying application of clothing, and do so in the
same salon she already uses for tanning sessions or tanning spray application. She is now ready
for an intimate evening.
Under wear – nowadays it is common to see a lot of underwear on the city streets. The old fad
of wearing bras on the outside has gone its way, but underwear is visible above the pants line
on men and women, and is very prevalent in the city, and in Walmart.
Camouflage – for the city dweller that wants to stay on the down low. [Pictured. Pitre2e.jpg]
Back At You Wear – Mylar ™ clothing that reflects those nearby so they can admire their dress.

Geek wear
Thinking wear
Creative wear - including simple, unaffected, honest wear. These suits don’t come with silly
extra buttons sewed to the cuff, pockets for decorative hankies, lapel button holes,
unnecessary and decorative lapel designs, etc. They are for the practical man that shuns
trappings, is confident enough in himself and his abilities to wear a simple suit. Practical, less
expensive, makes a statement, and easier to clean and press.
Silly wear – not confined to those clothes that clowns and mimes wear, but garments that
artists, buskers, exhibitionists, hipsters, and avant-garde design that design students may wear.
Nonchalant, devil may care, indifferent wear
