OK outfits, and almost beautiful
Ok, so I was saying that I sounded like I was on the cast of “Mean Girls” for my comments about Ugly Boy. I do not apologize for them, but I do want to say something else that will really make me seem like I wrote that movie, about my life. There are two groups of people about whom I will speak right now for whom I feel sorry. Who am I to feel sorry for someone, you may ask, but I realize that my life was sadder when I was not conscious of my misgivings and how to make the best of bad situations. So, I give you two groups that deserve a national charity.
First group is the Ok Outfit people. I alluded to this when I spoke about the moms that buy the big purple coat because that is all that they can afford at Burlington Coat Factory after buying their child the most expensive outfit. Such situations like these seem to make people feel that they have to be part of the Ok outfit crew. What does that mean? It is the segment of the population that seems to feel that is ok because of their finances or other reasons for them to just buy whatever color, shape and size outfit, and call it a day.
I feel really sorry for people that wear gray more than necessary. There is a classy gray and a garbage gray. I mean the garbage gray here. There is nothing wrong with the color and I even wear it at times. However, this is not a color that should clothe your body on a regular basis. There is a guy that works at my school who apparently has no other colors in his closet except for gray. I think that if I were him, that would automatically make me put myself in therapy.
This gray fetish is scary, like one's whole outlook on life is colorless, lifeless, bland. I've seen people like that all through my life and I've never ceased to be amazed by this.
The other group is Almost Beautiful. Almost beautiful is this person: She walks into a room and people can't help but stare, stunned by her beauty. She has on the right blouse and the pants that accentuate every curve. Her hair and make-up are perfect.
And then you realize that what everyone was staring at was the fact that she had one bright pink sneakers.
Ok, so maybe this is drastic, but that is a dramatization of Almost Beautiful. Almost Beautiful is those people who basically have everything it takes to be stunning, except that one little correctable flaw that remains as of yet unchecked.
For instance, there is the screwed-up-shoes guy. He will have the whole outfit, but his whole outfit looks like the remnants from a fire or from a World War II battle. There is the bad hairstyle girl that has what it takes to be a model, but whatever is on top of her head is paying tribute to Jersey Hair.
Why do I care about these people?
I've been Ok Outfit boy, when I reasoned that everything went with black, so I should just wear anything with black shirts or black ties.I've been "almost handsome", and I have had those scuffed shoes. I've even been the extreme case of "Almost handsome" wearing OK outfit. So when I see these people, I know where they are at in their lives, and I want to rescue them. I want to rush them in an ambulance to a mall and get all their style problems corrected, like emergency surgery.
