Why Are These T-Shirts Met With Such Different Responses??????????????????????
I admit it, I have an eclectic collection of T-Shirts, as much as anyone else out there. But these two, in particular, elicit the most responses, and believe me, those are as different as can be.
This morning, for example, I was wearing my "Saving Anna" T-Shirt. Anna is, of course, Anna Wintour, the editor of VOGUE, and, unlike Mayor DeBlasio, the most powerful figure in town. Whenever I wear this, I am met with such derision. Not homophobia, but disgust that I would support Anna Wintour. What is so hateful about Anna? Thank God for the taste and culture she brings to this town. Sometimes, I feel, if it weren't for the two of us, there would not be any.
Now, with "Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman," I get a different response. Straight guys go crazy over the sexiness of the image, while sci-fi buffs stop to discuss the film with me, and its inherent campiness. Which is a better response than Anna gets, but why should she get such a raw deal????????????????
I am telling you. At some point, I will get a Karen Cooper T-Shirt. You know, the little girl from "Night Of The Living Dead," who stabs her mother with a garden spade????? I can't wait to see the look on people's faces, when I wear that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
