I ♥ Mississippi



Jean shorts, mandals, cheapo vinyl siding apartment buildings and a red Camero, it must be Mississippi. Jean shorts and rubber mandals are basically the standard uniform for men in Mississippi. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, there will always be men in each little town sporting their jorts. After a lifetime in Mississippi one becomes desensitized to the joy that is the jean short, but every now and then the right jean short/mandal combo appears and reminds you that there is some good left in this mad world. (Yeah, I live in that cheapo building)




This outfit is another one of my favorites. You can't see it in this picture, but there is a beautiful eagle that adorns the back of his windbreaker- under that construction worker safety vest. It is quite remarkable. I particularly love that he has his sweat pants tucked into his socks (I understand it's a safety issue but am confused because those are definitely the sweats with elastic ankles) but then, he has white deck shoes. That's the most awesome part. I tried to catch him for his number but the light turned green and my car was no match for his bike. Just another soulmate who slipped away...
