Ok, not really. But here's the thing, my girlfriend is obsessed with these horrible fashion shows... when I'd like to be watching Seinfeld reruns and episodes of Cash Cab, I often come home to find her planted on the couch watching shows like the nauseating "What Not to Wear," the vomit-inducing "How Do I Look" and the mildly-entertaining "Queer Eye." But I never thought I paid attention to these. I often took this opportunity to do fantasy baseball stuff or cruise Google Earth. But I'm afraid some of it might be sinking in.
For instance, I have this slightly overweight co worker who consistently insists on wearing horizontally striped polo shirts to work every day. I'd like to tell him that this isn't a very flattering look for a heavyset fellow, but then I tell myself how gay that would sound (and rude). What scares me is that maybe these fashions shows are subliminally sinking in. I've always been able to dress myself, and my girlfriend will not pull any punches if I try to put on something ridiculous. Said co-worker recently got married and I'm surprised his new wife isn't scolding his shirt choices. Even worse, yesterday he came to work wearing a white shirt with white pants. He looked like a hospital working, only his weight made him look more like the Say Puft Marshmallow man.
Damn it, what's happening to me!

Yea thats really saved our relationship. We actually put the tv's right next to each other. That way I get to spend "quality time" and still not pay attention to her
Yeah, I have a TV in the bedroom so it really isn't a problem... the point is that I'm not irritated that she watches the shows and that I don't watch them... or at least I thought I didn't. That would be my "online time" at home, and the shows were just background noise.

Ugh, aren't all girls these days tuning into this fashion crap TV? I'm usually laughing at my buddies ranting about their girls making them watch Project Runway. If I was ever to get back into a relationship, I wouldn't care if they watched that junk, unless they forced me to watch it (I'll never do a thing like that) and/or have to hear about fashion faux pas all the time. I'm glad my last ex liked everything I liked: sports, James Bond movies, cars, and metal music.
As for me, I don't have the slightest care what other people wear unless they're wearing a Giants or Real Madrid jersey.
Tell him the Babe Ruth Yankee Pinstripes story (how they changed to vertical stripes because they are slimming) in a different context, and maybe he'll take the hint.
And go watch some porn while drinking a non-lite beer.
