Wtf: Things I don't understand - TheSundayBest

Aug 19, 2008

I had no idea people would react so strongly to episode one of the “wtf” series. Ok, so maybe I did.

As a follow-up, we thought we’d bring a little male perspective into the mix. TheSundayBest does what he can to dissect women’s fashion in a women’s world. And we love him for that.

Here are a few things, as a guy, that I don’t understand.

Small leather backpacks – If you’re a rock climber I can see why you’d want a bag that sits high off your hips, out of the way of your harness and clips. And we all know how great leather is, regardless of what PETA may tell us. Generally a backpack is necessary for two reasons – if you need to carry a heavy load, or need your hands. A small, leather backpack takes all the functionalty away while killing leather’s otherwise undeniable c...

The Many Uses of Vaseline!

Vaseline, petroleum jelly..whatever you may call it, is a great product to use everyday for many uses. Not to mention that it is super cheap!

I think my obsession with vaseline started when I was in Junior High and realized I was allergic to chapstick. Remember those LipSmackers that came in a million different flavors? Yeah, those left my lips swollen and chapped for weeks :(
My mom suggested that I use Vaseline instead of chapstick and it has kept my lips super soft and healthier than ever!

Being the crafty beauty and fashion obsessed kid that I was, figured out that if i mixed some crushed blush into the vaseline, I could customize my own colored gloss! Worked amazingly and soon had dozens of jars of colored vaseline.

Not only is vaseline used for minor cuts, burns and diaper rash…as the bottle suggests haha. It’s also a great eye makeup remover! Swipe some vaseline over your eyelids and wipe off all your eye makeup instant...

Calvin Klein Jeans A/W 08

Their latest ad campaign is all over town and I gotta say, I like it!

The sleek feel immediately grabs my attention amongst all the crazy Swarovski-covered tanorexic models and super-saturated banners. Sure, CK has been known for their b+w take for decades, but they’ve hit the mark 100% this fall thanks to a revival of their late 80’s logo and photographer Steven Meisel.

To justify, they never left the scene—CK just didn’t suit me, or vice versa, with fits I didn’t understand (from small to medium it grew in width vs in length!), thus there was no second chance to give. The last time I purchased anything from Calvin Klein it was probably 1998 at one of their outlets, and I don’t even remember what it was or where it went (then again, that was 10 yrs ago).

Their ads alone this season have me interested in what might have changed… I’m not even sure I like the clothing featured all that much, but great direction!

Heels for absolute beginners...

Some may view this post as a chance for me to go ‘oooh everyone, look at my new shoes!’... and they may be right.

However my shoe excitement is on such a level that I’d be mean not to share. Especially when this excitement isn’t about aesthetics but COMFORT. I have officially found the most comfortable and easy to walk in pair of heels ever. Not bad for a creeper-stiletto hybrid.

Both in real life and in blog comments people express disbelief that I can skip around quite happily in huge chunky heels without pain or walking trouble. The secret is that it’s incredibly easy, but becoming at one with heels also has its downsides. While you longer gasp in awe at women who stride around in vertiginous stilettos every day, you also have to deal with a newfound feeling of inadequacy on those days when you are prevented for reaching for that footwear boost.

Still, for those who want to, the most important tool in comple...
