Don't Fear the Beater!



I'm declaring this summer, the summer of the wife beater. No, I'm not paying tribute to bastards like Ike Turner. I am championing those awesome, 100% cotton tanks so many scruffy, beer-swilling dudes love to wear. Why? They're cheap.They pack well. They're bold and fun!


I went to the Gap Outlet and bought what seemed like thousands of them. (Just kidding, Mike. I only bought, like um, 20.) I love them. I am going to wear them every day come June. When it comes to clothes, I lack imagination. I buy uniforms. If I like one thing, I buy 10 of them in different colors. My closet is an endless line of monochromatic t-shirts and cargo pants. I remember the one time I lost my mind and wore a skirt. It was something I had never tried before. The kids looked at me like I was nuts. They ran to Mike, scared, seemingly asking, "Who is that woman?" I won't make that mistake again. Stick to the uniform!

Baring shoulders, guzzling beer and donning the beater is "IT" this year. Get on twitter and tweet the beat!
