getting shirty?

Overheard on tram today “I wish you wouldn’t wear that – everyone’s looking at you!” I’m thinking “yeh well, give him a break, he’s worth looking at! What’s your problem, feeling threatened?” He DID look fabby in that shirt, and everyone WAS looking at him…
Here’s a completely different shirt, but with the same story attached. Just click the thumbnail to see it’s splendour – and the copywriting! More lovely ads from my Women’s Weekly stash (5/9/73).
love the ole overheard’ness..
and just when i thought there wasn’t an approp. b-log.. Google shows me http://community.livejournal.com/overheardinmelb
and Twitter now sees me ‘tracking’ overheard..
m1k3y: thanks! i had forgotten about this sweet blog…
I love the shirt, looks like dead birds!!
gizo: yep – very artistically posed, vaguely flamboyant dead birds.
i apologise for my husband!!
kymbo: there’s no need for that…
When I first saw the thumbnail & couldn’t make out the dead birds, I thought it looked like a shirt gizo wears. Maybe I was wrong.
I wonder if they used real dead birds for it. Lay them on some fabric in a big old press & …
bookboy: it looks like a shirt he might wear, imho
mebbe they painted dead birds, posed them artfully, and then…?
