We went to Newseum on Saturday.
I saw this vest in the gift shop, and fell in love. I modeled it for Greta. She seemed to share my excitement, but soon came the inevitable, crushing question: “When will you ever wear that?”
She had a point.
Why is clothing so impractical? You would think that as we advanced as a society, we would get smarter and more creative.
Look at the kangaroo. These resourceful creatures evolved a built-in pouch, right on their bellies.
I’m a consultant. I travel the world and I’m expected to bring a full toolkit of analytics and judgment. Wouldn’t my clients be better off if I were wearing this vest? I could store my calculator, wallet, Blackberry and business cards within a moments reach. Never again would I waste time searching for binder clips or a whiteboard marker. My productivity would soar, and I’d look damn good, too.
I can’t understand why I spent $130,000 on an MBA, only to take a job where I can’t even wear a cool vest.
Father’s Day is coming up. Click here. $79.99. I take a medium. Tan preferred.

Actually, the list of items that you need to have handy makes me think that what you really need is a purse. Essentially, with this vest, you'd be wearing a purse.
My husband always acts AMAZED that I'd POSSIBLY need a big purse to carry around, but YOU, Chris, are a man with sense!

photojournalist. Although I think my work with Herbietown sort of makes me
a photojournalist....
S.T. you really made me laugh with that purse comment. I've been in the
market for a man-purse for about 4 years now. Never could find one to my
liking.
