Queer Eye for JonasParker

By Alston on May 18, 2004 1:04 PM | | Comments (6)

CP is a coworker here, and CP is gaygaygay. He is effeminate, neat, and loved by women for his...gayness. You know, the stereotypical gay man.

This office has a relaxed dress code. You can wear jeans, shorts, whatever. No one wears ties. I decided that today, I would shock everyone by dressing up for no particular reason. So I put on my nice pants, dress shirt and shoes, and a tie. CP saw me in the lunch room and casually said, "Nice tie." Clumsily I thanked him.

I think I blushed.

It's not like any other coworker telling you this. It's certainly not like your girlfriend telling you this. It's like Renoir telling you that he likes your painting. Well, maybe not that huge. But CP is THE authority on fashion here; even the women defer to him. And he's not a snooty bitch about it either.

Yep, I got it goin' on.

Try to ignore the wrinkles in the shirt, I'm not good at ironing.Also try to ignore the 1000-metre stare. I AM at work after all.

How good you look! But, if you want a suggestion, you could have ironed that shirt a bit more.

Damn, that is a nice tie! I think your girl is right though - iron, iron, iron. Or, as I would do (cause I can't iron worth a squat) - take it to the cleaners for a good pressing, heh.

Screw the iron! Wrinkles are in. But... could you smile? Would it kill you?

C'mon Liz! I value your common sense in fashion but while wrinkles may look "in" on a fancy skirt, I don't think they do on a man's shirt to be worn in an office.

I think the lack of smile is a personal style he has developed. Isn'it, jonasparker? He does that in most pictures. It's good, he has style.

Dear Girlfriend,

Wrinkles in a man's shirt denotes a laissez-faire attitude, as opposed to the very 80s uptight attitude. Therefore, minimal wrinkles (i.e., not the slept-in look) = relaxed style. Also, chrome-coloured shirts - as this one is- beg for wrinkles to bring out the many many tones. Look closely. You'll see what I mean.

Aah. Fashion. The only thing I can be arsed to write about.

Mmm...that's all sophisticated fashion knowledge. I don't know if his boss and coworkers can see all of that.
