bunrab | Fashion notes from the Smithsonian

1. Hey, people, flip-flops are a really stupid idea for footwear when you're going to a museum where you're going to be walking for hours. But if you were stupid enough to wear 'em, please don't bore everyone else in the gallery with your whining.
2. That goes double for mules (slides) with narrow heels. What were you thinking?
3. Cropped pants look dumb on most people. Cropped pants with a large tropical flower print look dumber. And cropped pants with a large tropical flower print on a guy look gaggably horrible. If you can afford that bicycle and that helmet, you can afford decent pants!

Dear teenage boy:
The answer to every question you asked your parents, me, and other random strangers, is on the sign next to each portrait you asked about. I know you can read, because you asked "Who's Roy Lichtenstein?" - so you read his name. Why not read the rest of the damn plaque while you're at it?

Dear Museum Shop:
Is it your contention that because admission to the museum is free, you can charge lots more for souvenirs? That certainly seems to be the way you have things priced.

Dear Museum:
The gallery in question just barely opened. How can the elevator be broken already?
