We Love Uniforms

We love T-shirts but do we believe in what we are marching for, or is it just, "Honey what are doing next weekend?"

The constitution says we are free, but we prefer tight spaces with a narrow mouth, sealed with a cork. What are you talking about? Uniforms. Nurses, courier delivery, bus drivers and pilots have no alternative. They wear uniforms because of the job.

We wear uniforms voluntarily because we love being inside a bottle. College football stadiums are packed to the rafters with one colour. It might be red, blue, green, white etc. Weddings have themes, which means all the 300 guests will be wearing purple or whatever colour is the theme. Celebrities, like the ones that attend P. Diddy’s baby oil shindigs love ‘white parties.’ They’ve become the norm, which means they have closets full of white outfits. Because we love tight spaces, we wear fashion uniforms. Say what? Fashion has bottles. That is why we wear the same clothes and carry same handbags to show that we belong to the millionaire bottle.

Because we love being inside a bottle, we wear uniforms that denote our political inclination. We vote blue. We vote red. Most of the time, it is just for public consumption. Elections come, we enter the voting booth and our true colour surfaces. The bottle is uncorked.
