Michael Jesso's Fabulous Derailed

You know you’ve all seen it, right there at the Starbucks getting coffee or in the bank line up, staring up at you is Sponge Bob Squarepants, with little fuzzies all over his face that need to be shaved off with one of those $20 clothes shavers they sell on the home shopping channel. All over this fair city of ours is Sponge Bob, Spider Man, Winnie the Pooh, any host of snowmen, snowflakes, stars, cats, dogs, or, my favourite, camouflage. What happened?

When did so many people’s lives get so busy that they forget to put on pants before they leave their house? Some people blame their kids, they needed to catch the bank, they only ran out for milk, but the fact is you ran out of the house without pants. And I’m sorry ladies, carrying the latest Louis Vuitton doesn’t cancel out the fact or class it up in any way that you’re wearing fleece pants in public. Perhaps you spent your entire clothing budget on the bag, who knows. Now I know you saw Britney Spears doing the exact same thing, but you have to remember a) she was photographed leaving a gym and b) she was also photographed shaving her head. Now I don’t see you all running into Chatters begging Andrew to shave your heads, so I know there is still hope.

Everyone, man or woman, wants to look their best and feel their best. Wearing pyjamas or sweat gear automatically makes you look like you don’t care, and if you don’t, no one else will. When you look your best, you feel your best and good things happen, plus it might just add to making Fort McMurray a better-looking place for all of us.

Speaking of the city looking better, summer is in full swing, the sun is shining on us and we all need to take better care of our hair and skin. Have a look at these products to help you out during the summer months:
