Fashion Review vol.14 - " Josh Barnett: Dress U Up In My Love!"

Here in Northern North America, as the days get shorter and the nights get colder and as everyone piles on more and more clothes, a strange thing happens it seems most people revert to some sort on infantile behavior! The complaining starts, the whining, the crying and only after a few days, I find myself muttering under my breath, "grow a spine," "toughen yourself up" or simply "move then." It's these types of babies that I have no time for!

Then there are the other kind, known as the Josh Barnett kind! Here is a really young veteran fighter, who embraced pro wrestling since he was an upstart and is now about to take on Cro Cop in Pride 28. Why does this Baby Faced Assassin think with a bruised brain? Pick a fighting ring, we don't want to hear about or see your fascination with pro wrestling! Why? Cause that's entertainment! Put behind you those crazy days of youth gone bye baby, wave
good bye to the supposed steroids consumption, the costumes and the hair
pulling. It's time to take off the diaper and put on a new attitude, that is, if you want to play with the big boys!
With that being said, it's time to dress you up in my love and send you out to the school bus.

I have been looking at what the kids are wearing today and you know I like it, I like it because it all seems familiar, o yeah that's because it's what I used to wear to school myself, back in the day. The rugby shirts, the flares, beaten up dungarees, the wide belts, right down to the earth shoes and the blissed out stoned look that was in my eye! Why I was going with the Hunter S. Thompson look all that year!

So, Josh let me give you an extreme make over! First of all let's lose the fear and loathing and the college blonde mop and the baby fat, I think you should dye your hair brown and get a good face of stubble going. Try on one of those rock and roll shirts preferably one with the Rolling Stones or Ramones logo on it. Over that, you got to get yourself a zip up hooded sweat shirt and corduroy sports coat, for pants don't go with those over sized hip hop bags that make you look like you really want to be wearing a skirt. Wear some skintight bootleg style dungarees and show off some leg boy! As far as shoes go, you got some extra cash, buy yourself a new pair of leather Nike sneakers, now go ahead and sneak over to your girlfriends house and get lucky as I am sure she will be all razzeled by this new dangerous you!

You clean up really nice and you've got a good thing going with your choice of suits. Not much needs to be changed here except with your new brown hair you may need to do some color adjusting. Try on a plain front green suit and make sure it's not shark skin, nothing that screams I'm trying to make a splash in a shark skin suit! Subtly Josh subtly....shhh you have allot of presence so shhhh play it down and let some one else have a turn, being the fun/ drunk guy at the party.
