Up Too Early

Google Streetview fashion critique from West William Cannon

Wax on, wax off.
Wax on, wax off.

It’s kind of fun to imagine Mr. Miyagi running behind this woman in a gray sweat suit shouting, “Don’t forget breathe! Very important.” She has totally earned a Karate Kid personal training session with that samurai headband and high pony. Banzai, bitches!

Not only that, this woman is color coordinating like crazy! Note the purple accents on her top and running shoes. Ralph Macchio wishes he could have game like this. She also has spandex running shorts, which is a fairly bold move body confidence-wise. Sure, you may look taut and trim and well defined, but there’s always the awkward issue of moose knuckle or camel toe. No, they don’t print that on the spandex brochure. It’s a hard lesson you have to learn for yourself, either by having people laugh and point at your crotch at Smoothie King, or by watching old David Lee Roth videos.

The important thing to remember is that when you engage in a program of physical fitness, you get to show of body parts that would earn you a trip to the HR department at tour office. Don’t think those fellows driving that carpet truck don’t appreciate it either.
