Alright, let’s talk about this… this… Balen-some-thin’ towel skirt, yeah? Heard folks chatterin’ ’bout it, seen it on that internet thingy my grandkid showed me. Honestly, first time I saw it, thought it was a joke.
Seriously, a towel skirt? And they want how much for it? Nine hundred and somethin’ dollars? Lord have mercy! Back in my day, we used towels for dryin’ off after a bath, not for struttin’ around town like some fancy pants. I could make that thing myself with an old rag and some rope, and it’d probably hold up better too!
Now, they say it’s “fashion.” They say it’s “art.” Well, I say it’s a whole lotta nonsense! I ain’t no fashion expert, mind you. I just know what looks practical and what looks plain silly. And this here towel skirt? It falls smack-dab in the silly category.
- First off, it’s a towel. A towel! You use it to wipe your hands, your face, maybe even the dog if he gets muddy. You don’t wear it to the store, unless maybe your house caught on fire and you had to run out quick.
- Second, that price tag! Nine hundred and twenty-five dollars! You could buy a whole heap of groceries with that kinda money. You could pay your bills, fix your roof, or even buy a nice, sturdy pair of work pants that’ll last you for years. But a towel skirt? Come on now!
- And third, who in their right mind would wear this thing out in public? I mean, imagine goin’ to church with a towel wrapped around your waist. Folks would think you lost your marbles! They’d be whisperin’ and pointin’, and not in a good way.
I reckon this fella, this… Dem-na, whatever his name is, he’s probably just pullin’ our leg. He’s tryin’ to see how much money people will spend on somethin’ ridiculous. And bless their hearts, some folks are actually buyin’ it! I saw pictures online, people wearin’ it on the street like it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.
But I ain’t gonna lie, it does get people talkin’. Maybe that’s the whole point. Maybe this Dem-na fella just wants attention. Well, he got it, didn’t he? He got a whole bunch of folks, including this old lady, talkin’ about his towel skirt. Maybe he’s smart, maybe he’s crazy, maybe he’s both. Who knows?
Now, some young folks might say, “Oh, you just don’t understand fashion, old lady.” And maybe they’re right. Maybe I don’t understand this newfangled “fashion.” But I do understand common sense. And common sense tells me that a towel is a towel, not a skirt. And it certainly ain’t worth nine hundred and twenty-five dollars. You’d be better off takin’ that money and donating it to the church or somethin’. At least then it’d be doin’ some good.
This whole towel skirt thing reminds me of that time when those fancy city folks started wearin’ ripped jeans and callin’ it fashion. Back then, we patched up our clothes, we didn’t go buyin’ ’em already ripped! But that’s the way the world is these days, I guess. Everything’s upside down and backwards. What’s practical is old-fashioned, and what’s silly is high fashion.
So, if you got nine hundred and twenty-five dollars burnin’ a hole in your pocket and you’re thinkin’ about buyin’ this towel skirt, well, you just go right ahead. But don’t come cryin’ to me when it falls apart after one wash or when folks start laughin’ at you on the street. You’ve been warned! I’ll stick to my good ol’ cotton skirts and aprons, thank you very much. They might not be “fashionable,” but they get the job done and they don’t cost a fortune.
And that’s all I got to say about this balen-somethin’ towel thingy. It’s a whole lotta fuss about nothin’ if you ask me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go hang up the laundry. And you can bet your bottom dollar, I won’t be wearin’ any of those towels around town!
