Lederhosen
I'm sure this has happened to you. Somehow, I ended up with two pairs of lederhosen for my vintage Ken doll. In my quest to piece together the vintage outfit entitled "Ken in Switzerland," I must have gotten overzealous and forgotten what I had. Who hasn't, right?
It occurred to me that I could put both Ken and Allan in matching lederhosen... but there are some things in this world that are just too gay, even for me. So I decided to sell one pair on eBay, surprise surprise.
While the auction was active, someone sent me a question regarding the lederhosen:
Is this a costume?
Actually, it was more like:
is this a costume
But I was adding punctuation and grammar to make reading easier for you, my most learned and anal-retentive audience. (Twitchy, I'm lookin' at you.)
Now that I think about it, the lack of such basic writing skills is in perfect harmony with the ridiculousness of the question.
Is this a costume? As opposed to... what? Business attire? Swimwear? Ken's Sunday best?
Perhaps he's unclear on Ken's motivation to wear the lederhosen. Was Ken wanting to fit in with the local Switzerlandians? Did he bring them home and wear them in role-playing games with Barbie? Or did he star in Skipper's production of "Sound of Music?"
Dude, it's lederhosen for an 11" doll. Ken is not a real person. He never went to Switzerland. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION!!!
So I didn't answer it. Someone that stupid wouldn't know how to use PayPay anyway, so screw him.
