WHAM SHIRT
Gay, Straight or Bi?
When first attempting to leave the house in this shirt I was held up by the big boss lady, let’s call her mum. She was taking a break from walking on water and hadn’t started on a cure for cancer yet so she had time to critique the one and behold ‘Wham’ shirt you see here.
After jumping on Wikipedia I discovered that back in her day there was a popular band called Wham! With the lead singer being more gay then Mardi Gras and who owned more short shorts then the marchers of Mardi Gras. So with me wearing this shirt she happily vocalised her thoughts, classic one liners such as “So you’re gay now or is it all just the shirt?”
Bristish duo Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael from Wham!
I see now where she was coming from...
So with that train of thought I decided to fold the shirt and put it away for a little while. But somethings' bugging me, something aint right...
In our family disapproving judgment on clothing doesn’t go down without a battle, so I decided to look at it from an artistic point of view. Just call me Picasso. In which the shirt was just an expression of the pop art area. Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein coming into their own; Soup and damsels in distress were making the big time! You get the point. So long story short the shirt I possessed was not only considered “straight” but expressed the essence of the pop art era. SO TAKE THAT ONE DEB.
Give or take the extra letter “A” It’s the word Wham
As much of an art curator and part time Jitter bug I think I am, clashing heads was not worth the war. So In agreeing to disagree, this made the shirt bisexual. For anyone who really cares. At the end of the day I ended up owning a shirt that was more controversial then a black president.
And I gave an item of clothing a gender specific title. Productive bloody day.
