Fashion Sweaterwatch ‘07

Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 18 at 1:54 PM

Thanks to all those who weighed in with advice on a new sweater yesterday. I weighed up the options, tried Goodwill on SW 10th—nice selection, just nothing that really worked—then went to Macy’s. I’m now the proud owner of an $80 black v-neck cashmere sweater (reduced from $140) and must say, I LOOK SO GOOD IN IT, IT HURTS. I was thinking about putting a photo of me in my new sweater on here for you all to enjoy, but honestly, you couldn’t take it. Your computer would melt, and so would your heart. So, to avoid getting ANY MORE stalkers, here’s a less libidinous artist’s impression, which captures about three percent of the hotness of the actual article on my amazing body. If you’re very lucky, you may even see me in it, soon.
SOME GUY IN MY NEW SWEATER: Almost as hot as I am, but not quite…

Plus, I never knew this, but Cashmere is WARMER than wool. So it’s like owning two sweaters. That’s why you have to pay for two. It’s a bargain, really. A snip.

Mate, I'm doing you a favor. Whether straight or gay, lesbian, transexual or transgender, human, animal, vegetable or mineral: ALL ARE POWERLESS TO RESIST THE SIGHT OF ME IN THIS SWEATER.

Can you imagine the impact posting such an image on the internet might have on this nation, nay, the world's productivity? Imagine the first broadcast of Orson Wells' War of the Worlds, and multiply it.

That doesn't look like a sweater to me. It looks like a shirt. Do you wear collars under yours?

But yeah, cashmere. I have a cashmere sweater, and it has a collar and two buttons, and it's really comfortable and warm. And light, too. It's almost magical.

Matt: "Imagine the first broadcast of Orson Wells' War of the Worlds, and multiply it."

Nice job leaving off the "... by 0.000000000000000001%" bit at the end. Sneaky.

Almost magical is right. No, I think that guy's wearing a sweater but without a shirt underneath. It's a sweater, though.

I, on the other hand, always wear a collar under my sweaters. Otherwise my chest hair puffs out—I have to keep it under control.

Tom Jones is jealous of my chest hair.

Multiply it by a billion you fool.

Chest hair? Awwww shit. You GOTTA post a pic now... ;-) Grrrrr

Sean Connery often calls me up in tears, saying, "Oh Matt, I wishhh I could have had half the chesshht hair you do, at the peak of my film car-eeeaaar."

I always hang up. Loser Connery wasting my chest-grooming time.
