THE OTHER DAY, ON THE OLD FACEBOOK, WE SPOKE ALOUD,
"ARE JUMPSUITS APPROPRIATE WEDDING ATTIRE?"
WE WEREN'T REALLY ASKING, FOR WE ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER WAS A RESOUNDING
"DUH".
WE ALWAYS FIND A JUMPSUIT APPROPRIATE. TO MAKE OUR CASE, WE PULLED TOGETHER A LITTLE MONTAGE, OF ALIX OF BOHEMIA ORIGINALS, AND ONESIES, ROMPERS AND ALL -IN-ONES FROM OTHER PLACES (MERCI GOOGLE)
ONE THING IS FOR SURE, WE'VE BEEN WEARING THEM SINCE WE WERE TINY
(THE SMOCKED FRENCH, RATHER CONSERVATIVE VARIETY)
AND EVERYONE NEEDS A UNIFORM.
AND YOU CAN DO SPLITS IN THEM WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING IMMODEST.
THOUGH THE SPLITS AREN'T EXACTLY THE PICTURE OF MODESTY.
NEITHER IS THIS:
SWEET JESUS.
