Faux Fashion By The Master

David Bowie was always the master of lyrics that had messages of social commentary woven deep behind the words themselves, and this biting song is no less among some of his greatest work.

What is very ironic about this set is that it was a performance at the GQ awards.

Let's Pimp That Tee

What You'll Need To Pimp That Squidoo Giant Tee

One Official Squidoo Giant Tee Shirt
Which is a hot commodity in itself, because to actually get your hands on one of these babies you need to create at least 50 quality Squidoo lenses (which are one page websites) and then apply for Giant status.

Wait! There's more. After, and ONLY after, you receive confirmation of your Giant status, then you e-mail your home address, and the shirt arrives a few weeks later.

One Pair Of Scissors
Or a pocketknife, broken beer bottle, teeth, or bike ignition key.

Tequila
Doesn't everything work smoother with tequila?

On To The Pimping Part Of The Show
First, you lay the tee shirt face up so that you can look the squid square in the eye and gain its confidence. Soothe the creature, maybe offer it some of the tequila.

Then you firmly grasp the the sleeve on your left hand side and begin to cut along the sleeve's seam, just outside of the seam. Cutting just outside the seam will ensure that the shirt will hold up after many washings and not fray at the cut.

Repeat the step above, only on the right hand sleeve. Make sure the squid is in as much comfort as possible and understands that you are making it a star.

Once the cut away sleeves are properly discarded, you have in your possession a sleeveless original. Wear it proudly, because you now have a true badge of Squidoo Giant citizenship on your back. A citizenship filled with pride, confidence and responsibility.

Would You?

All of my favorite tee shirts are sleeveless, some were bought that way and some I made that way.

I have been told that what I did with my Giant shirt was terrible because I worked so hard for it and now I want to destroy it. Pffft I say. Making it sleeveless is my tribute to the work I put in to earn that shirt.

Art is expression, and I expressed my dedication to not only becoming a Giant, but being a Giant Citizen as well, by altering my Squidoo Giant tee in a way that has my voice.

Would you use your Giant tee as a canvas for your art?

No! That would be totally disrespectful.

Hmmmm. Haven't got mine, yet, but when I do I think I just want to relish it the way it is for awhile.

I haven't gotten my Giant Tee yet. I hope you are going to tell me how to get one so I will continue to read

Oh no! I am thinking about framing mine and hanging in the living room with a table under it -- like a shrine!

I have no desire to tamper with the giant squid t-shirt. Not that I think it disrespectful, just why should I? Those colors make it impossible for me to wear it out of doors anyhow :)

Posted September 30, 2009

Yee Haw I would!

KimGiancaterino says:

Mine is too big to wear, so it's safely tucked away in a drawer. Maybe I'll make a quilt with it someday.

Until I read this lens, I had never thought of converting my Giant Tee into a work of art. My problem is that my Giant Tee is really giant on me - but I suppose I could wear it as a dress, once I have taken it in a bit and added a belt;)

Am thinking of slitting the sleeves rather than cutting them off.....you have really got me thinking now, she says rushing off to dust off her sewing machine!

says:

Yes, but probably not on purpose. Everything I wear becomes art of spilling and stains that stay. Still not exactly sure how to accurately grasp silverware. I might have to scotch-guard mine if I get one. Poor lil' Squid'll be a Giant crumb collector.

Gotta feel like it's your Squid, right?

mysticmama says:

I never got one, but if I did... I would most likely get paint & tattoo ink all over it anyway... so it would become art...lol

KathyMcGraw says:

yes I would, and why have a Squid with sleeves in the drawer if you can have one without you'd wear :)

"A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months."
Oscar Wilde

Okay, So His Tee Ain't Sleeveless....

...but he's still bad to the bone.

This timeless classic by George Thorogood is all about something that seems to be in short order these days. Confidence.

Assertiveness and cockiness are often mistaken as confidence. But neither or anywhere near a close relative of that swagger that says,"He knows exactly who he is."

Enjoy!
