During the three day span over which I pounded the pavement searching for an apartment in Manhattan, the temperature somehow changed from 90 degrees and 85% humidity to 65 degrees and rainy… overnight. Needless to say, since I had only packed shorts and t-shirts for the trip, I was shit out of luck for this kind of unexpected weather. To accomodate myself, I went shopping for a hoodie.
Now: the sensation of shopping for expensive clothing while you’re a) unemployed and b) homeless, is exhilirating. Spending conspicuously with financial aid is like playing with the house’s money in Vegas, only you’re playing with your own mortaged money, which is really the government’s money… so I guess it’s YOUR money, John Q. Taxpayer. Thanks!
I have had some frivolous discussions with my roommate Al about doing a “New York Makeover” before I make the transition from DC. Such a makeover would entail trading in my stained and ratty slacks and button-downs, obnoxious pastel polos and cargo shorts, and third-generation hand-me-down-moth-infested shirts, for something “Fit for the Classroom, Fit for the Hood.”
With this “ghetto-eye for the asexual-guy” mentality, I present the first piece of my 12-piece wardrobe for the Fall of 2007:

Item #1 of 12:
The North Face– Men’s Logan Full-Zip Hoody
This charcoal number has an all-over print of faux wood which says “Yo, I live wit my moms, but I still fly as hell.” The fleece inner-lining is a bold burgundy which causes “bitches to flock,” similar to an exotic bird, in nature.
The hoodie can be found at the “Harlem Outfitters” on 145th and Broadway. The sizes available on hand range from 2XLT to 8XLT, but if you’re nice to the store manager he might carry a L in the back. The price of the product is negotiable, but if you work it right (Spanish speaking is a plus) you can get it for $60 flat, with no additional taxes.
Stay tuned for items #2-12 to follow.
