Each year I usually compile a list of Fashion Don’ts on my blog, but this year I’m not going with a list. I’m going to speak about one Fashion Don’t for men that needs to end immediately! And here it is……..

To all of the men who are wearing the label of your suit on the sleeve of the suit coat…………..cut that shit out! This is not cute. You are supposed to remove that label before you wear the suit out in public.

And since I love you like a play cousin, I did a little research online to find out where this trend started in the first place.

The labeled sleeve was a trend a few years back in that segment of our society in which voguing was an important social activity. The contestants in voguing balls often wore merchandise fresh from the store, one way or another (purchased with the intention of returning it or shoplifted), and so sometimes labels or even security tags would be attached.

This, of course, added to the humor of the performance and the ironic fashion of the unremoved sleeve label. The concept caught on to the extent that some men were sending their jeans to the dry cleaners with pocket flashers still attached. The point of voguing is to be outlandish, outré and bad.

As printed on the Men.style.com website, February 2003.

So unless you are voguing in a competition, stop wearing the damn label on your suit coat/sports coat sleeve. You don’t realize how silly you look. It burns me up to see a good looking guy in a nice suit with the label on the sleeve of the coat. If your suit is nice, I’ll compliment you on it, but remove the label.

Remember my Cocker Spaniel puppy, Bailey, that I got for Christmas? Well, Bailey is 5 months old today. He’s one active puppy, and it’s hard to get good pics of him when he’s in high gear. But when I give him a bath, he instantly goes into chill mode. So I snapped this capture of him tonight post-bath.

Oh, and I’m going to get his tail docked next week. I should have done it when he was a few weeks old, but I had too many irons in the fire at the time. I know he’s not looking forward to that.

How do you go from winning $100,000 in a settlement last year, to losing your house this year? My brother’s next door neighbor’s house is up for foreclosure. What I fail to understand is how this could happen? I mean I know how it happened. He didn’t pay his mortgage, but why the fuck not? That’s what I want to know!

You won a personal lawsuit on last year of $100,000+, yet you don’t pay your mortgage? And what da hell did you spend it on, because I don’t see anything new at your house. You’re still driving the same SUV you’ve been driving for over 5yrs. There’s no new furniture in your home. No new appliances or electronics. You don’t have any kids, so there’s no child to support.

Where did the money go? Just blew it all away, and nothing to show for it. Now I see why your wife divorced you. You are just plain stupid.
