New Uniforms at the Choir School




On a recent visit to Ravenna, my good friend Paolo, who teaches Art History at the Milan Fashion Institute, sent these photographs of potential new uniforms. Remember, Paolo is the the infamous progenitor of the term 'fashion victim.' What do you think? Could these items of apparel have been influenced by Justinian's exotic and powerful wife? Do you think they exhibit any Ostrogothic tendencies? Should we petition Mr. Hambleton for a change?

They are kind of bright colors don't you think?

Head Crab Ned said...

Yellow and black kind of make people look like wasps. There are also no pants in the window.

marennn said...

I agree with Ned. Yellow and black would look kind of uh... funky beneath our blue(black) robes...

Spencer said...

I think Spencer would be the only one happy to wear a kilt!

Why not save money by changing the uniforms so everyone wears a "kilt?"

marennn said...

how is everyone wearing a kilt going to save the school money matt?

marennn said...

Matthew Yost said...

Wow. If those are uniforms, we should get choir robes to match. Couldn't you (all) just see Brandon 'prancing' down the aisle in one of those?

Grace said...

Good job Mr. Glenn I'm glad you had your fun scaring the little children.

marennn said...

haha ya and now you need to get lauren a big sunflower hat and we can have the bright yellow jumpers

Matthew Yost said...

"Milan Fasion Institute," eh?
No, I think that if any change is needed we should switch to lederhosen, shoes with buckles and cool hats and then go yodeling in the Uintas. Just a thought from the oposite side of the spectrum.

Matthew

P.S. For anyone with a lacking sense of sarcasm, please note that I am only joking and would probably never wear lederhosen.
