I was stuck in the Denver Airport for many hours today as I waited while my flight was delayed again and again and again.
I started to write down some of my observations, and I'd thought I'd share.
1. Men wearing Ugg boots is difficult to pull off -- though I think it's just ugly enough that if it were pulled off right, it would be brillant.
2. I love Asian style. Layers. Odd combinations of patterns. Breaks the Western 'rules'.
3. There is a fantastic comradere here today. It's us against them -- travelers against post-blizzard madness... long lines... airport personnel with a Grinch spirit. People celebrate together at the little victories - seat assignments...making it through lines...shorter security waiting times.
5. Overall, being at the Denver airport today really brings out the HEIGHT of Denver fashion - I've seen more clogs, mountain man shoes and half an inch too short jeans than one girl can stomach. (I realize the following two things - #4 is missing -- A girl must keep some secrets. And 3 of my 5 realizations so far were fashion related. I'm sorry. It's just how I am.)
6. I think I just saw Napelon Dynamite's twin ... green pastel 80's shirt, tight stonewashed jeans... carrying a box with a 9 ft. inflatable snowman for the front yard.
7. It's pretty interesting to see couples that are drastically different and wonder if they were always that different or if their slight differences took over through time.
8. There is a woman a few rows over with crazy hair -- like a swimming cap covered with rabbit fur - or maybe it's just her natural hair. I can't tell. I think this is a problem.
9. I like the idea of leg warmers over pants in some situations (note - Asian girl walking by tried this and it worked well. See #2)
10. Musically, in just a few hours, I've craved Three Six Mafia, Sufjan Stevens, Van Morrison, RJD2 and Ray LaMantange -- I like this about myself.
Merry Christmas all.

who ELSE is going to record post-blizzard airport fashion in the mile-high city? you've done us proud, and history thanks you, too.
oh dear...i just LOVE those fashions where you think,'this is either the absolute ugliest thing i've seen or the greatest ever...is it fashion forward or fashion faux pas?" turns out it's a very fine line!!
this is why i ended up enjoying my unexpected delay at DIA...the people make it oh so interesting, in the words of a great artist (bjork)"there's definately no logic to human behaviour but yet so irresistible" :)
