Hawaii finally got around to promoting its legendary surfers. Can’t think of a better feel-good message for Hawaiian shirt Friday. From the article…
“The first order of business at the Hawaii State Legislature on Tuesday wasn’t about declining tourism or mass transit.
Instead, surfing made its way to the floor. The Senate and House of Representatives honored nine surfing icons at the Capitol. Buffalo Keaulana, Ben Aipa, Clyde Aikau, Mitchell Alapa, Derek and Michael Ho were in attendance, and received certificates of appreciation. They donned the traditional Island “formal wear” of Aloha shirts, shoes, and blazers for the momentous occasion, as their loved ones looked on from the upper balcony of the Senate. More“
I would rather be surfing on a Friday right now, what about you? What would you rather be doing right now, say money was not an issue and you didn’t need to work, where and what would you be doing?
It’s a nice mental vacation.
Had to have a post at an article today, there was a wonderful lady with a huge education and bigger smile who has written a great article on over-the-top casual wear. This from a woman with a huge publishing career on inter-gender communications! Here’s her article
And on the faaaaar opposite end of the brainpower spectrum, I found Rory Cooper at the Daily Caller writing about how casual attire at the White House means that there is no dignity in the presidency. One extreme to the other, no thinking in between. “I’m tired” to “I have leukemia” in one gigantically absurdist delusional leap.
“Hello? Earth to Rorster: the president’s from Hawaii. No prigs like you in Hawaii”. (Knock on forhead, ongoing tuning-fork style ringing tone eminates).
This weirdo doesn’t get a link.

Shirtsleeves warm is coming
After the snowmageddon, the snowpocalypse, and the snowacane, thank the Big Guy upstairs that March is finally here.
It may not be warm yet, but in the minds of people who wear Hawaiian shirts on Friday, it is a glimmer of warmth… through the ice.
Maybe we’re back to snormal.
Around here were winding down the afternoon, and for all sakes and purposes the phones can remain unanswered. It’s the weekend!
Around the blogosphere, the bitchesoffashion want to replace hawaiian shirt friday with shredded jeans. All good, as long as it gets your head in the right state. http://bitchesoffashion.blogspot.com/2010/03/bitch-day-shabby-chic.html.
LEWP is celebrating his own Hawaiian shirt Friday, I hope the guy in the glasses knows he has a collectors shirt http://lewp.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/yay-its-hawaiian-shirt-friday/

adminHawaiian Shirt Friday Generalisimo
Jimmy Buffet having some fun
If there were too many Hawaiian shirts around Colombia, and it’s NOT Friday, can funny hats be far behind?
The king of easy-on-the-ears Jimmy Buffett brought his tropical smorgasbord to the Colonial Life Arena in South Carolina last Tuesday.
Perhaps it’s time to give this guy his due, he’s good at his job, he’s got a rabid following, and admit it. You like him. His songs may not rock the stadium, but there’s no whining and alot of heart. Kind of like tropical country music.
Tropical country as a new genre? You heard it here first, folks.
Besides, it is hard (but not impossible) to be cheesed off at life if you sit all the way through “Margaritaville”.
As for me, I won’t be wearing a Hawaiian shirt today, I have a funeral to attend (my sister-in-law’s husband’s father). He may have been peripheral, geneaologically speaking, but he was a sweet old man and he will be sorely missed as he was dearly loved.
R.I.P. Mr Herman Talley!

Hawaiian shirt and Goth. Two great tastes that go good together.
You can celebrate it, hate it, or berate it, but the tradition of “Casual Friday”, better known as “Hawaiian Shirt Friday” is ingrained into the corporate consciousness.
Wait. That may be an oxymoron.
Hate it if you feel it is like your boss is forcing you to smile. The happy employee who belittles himself/herself/itself? to the amusement of the corporate masters. Dance, little man, dance!
“You have been dominated”, thunders a disembodied voice from the blinding light eminating from the corner office, “Now wear this or I will frown uponst thee”.
Okey dokey.
Love it for a brief change from bland colors, restrictive medieval clothing, and not needing to change when you go out after work on Friday. It’s a head start on the weekend.
