I came across Improv Everywhere, 'architects of unscripted spectacles', who have taken the concept of flash mobs to new poetic heights, turning the spotlight on well-accepted norms in the everyday lives of Americans with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Their latest headline-maker was No Shirts, which saw 111 shirtless men throng the Abercrombie & Fitch store in NYC's 5th Avenue. Most of you will know A&F as the clothing retailer most-known for their homo-erotic/soft-porn flavored catalogues, and for hiring shirtless models to stand outside their stores across the US.
So what happens when the purveyor of shirtlessness meets real men without shirts? This picture sorta summarizes the experiment.
Here's the full report for what actually went down when the shirts came off.
So you will probably not hear from me for the next 36 to 48 hours, as I'll be flying to NYC tonight. I will be meeting my friend Curtis for brunch when I arrive, which will be followed by a day of boro-hopping. Great way to catch up to the time difference.
And how did I miss last night's flight? For some reason, I thought that 9:50pm, which was my arrival time in Bangkok (where I'm connecting to NYC) was my departure time from KL. Ugh, 'nuff said.
You have a good weekend.
