A. The shirt itself goes very hard.
B. Usually I roll my eyes when people talk about the whole “Alpha/Beta Energy” BS, but this actually has me rethinking that entire POV. Sometimes just being brave enough to be yourself, whether it’s in the deep south or anywhere else, takes a lot of balls. ❤️
‘Lesbians wearing shirts about sex during Pride month are just like straight dudes wearing shirts about sex any time’ is incredibly kneejerk and poorly reasoned, you can do better than this.
Gotta disagree with you in this particular case. Living here I see a lot of novelty sex shirts 24/7/365. Constant parties and groups of bachelor or bachelorettes. I usually don’t think twice about it.
I have to give points for:
A. Originality. I’ve seen ‘I <3 milfs’ a million times before, but can’t recall ever seeing this one. I imagine if Kenny Powers opened up a novelty T-shirts store in Daytona Beach, he would sell this shirt and attempt to trademark it.
B. Unexpectedness. When I first saw this, I was scrolling through several other pictures and hit this one. It was like rounding a corner and being taken by complete surprise. The randomness of the shirt combined with the person wearing it, and the look on her face, elicited a genuine “Guffaw,” followed by me simply holding up my phone in response to the group of people I was with asking “What?”
It simply would have been too difficult to convey the complexity of the image into words, and all 6 people had a similar speechless reaction.
C. Rather than simply making a statement, it encourages one to really stop and think.
It sounds like you’re in agreement with the comment above yours.
The comment seems to be saying they could do better? I sincerely believe this is one of the best novelty t-shirts I have ever seen. I guess I’m maybe looking at this from a different POV?
Idk if you’ve heard of Krewe du Vieux Carré? Usually just called Krewe du Vieux, or sometimes just affectionately called Krude. It’s a Mardi gras Krewe that has a parade every year through the FQ. The point is supposed to be over the top adult humor, and that vibe has always been extended to the quarter in general, especially other neighborhood parades and celebrations.
I would shake my head at someone wearing something like this to the zoo or even an uptown parade, but in context this is like wearing a satirical costume.
The FQ during a parade or festival is one place where you would see a guy in a mustache rides shirt and nobody would judge/think twice bc there’s a hundred other dudes in mustache rides shirts or other crude outfits. Fewer women, but it happens occasionally if they are with a bachelorette party. I’ve seen gay dudes wearing crude shirts, but I cannot recall ever seeing a lesbian in a shirt that somehow openly conveys sexuality and captures the same level of crude. Honestly believe this is kind of a masterpiece and would like to grab drinks with this person bc they look like they would be fun AF to hang out with.
