No flies on you!

In the transition from a land where the ozone has no gapping hole located right above it to one where there is and it is only getting bigger Mister and I have noticed and found humor (at others expense) in what this does to fashion. Now I am no fashion snob, I wear my flipflops (can’t bring myself to say thongs) with pride. I have more than one bonds singlet in my underwear draw (even if it is not technically worn as underwear).

The black bra under the white singlet (follow the debate on http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006050519783 if you are of strong opinion).. But I think that the fly resistant hat is truly the piste de resistance. The photo says it all!
