What the Well-Dressed Alien is Wearing June 23, 2008

Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , trackback

Miss Language and I had some shopping to do. We came across a purple tote bag with the motto, “Green is the new black.” Something about this being printed on a purple bag appealed to me so I filed the quote away. We got home and I queried Devastatingly Handsome as to what he thought it meant ~~ his reply as not the top fashion expert in the galaxy was ~~ “I dunno, something about aliens are green and they are a minority so now African Americans are not the minority anymore.”

Right-ho.

I just want to say, while on the subject, that this whole greenness thing is a bit ho-hum when you are as frugal as we Bananas. You can’t get much greener than buying clothes at the Goodwill, walking to the mall, using a reel lawn mower, not using disposable products. I think this is just a clever ploy to make frugality cool.

And in unrelated news, we are still hanging in the Sudden Death position as regards Little League, after a forfeit game on Saturday and then an amazing win tonight concluding with a game winning grand slam by a team-mate of Mr Music. Pretty exciting stuff.

My first thought was “If green is the new black, why did they put it on a purple bag?”
