Dearest NKS Readers and The Occasional Surfer Who Stumbles onto My Site by Googling  ”Oddwall,”  ”Cragslist dates,”  or  ”How Much Does a Transvestite Cost?”   (top searches that turn up this blog):

I apologize that Project Muu-Muu was put on hold after only two days — but what with the rising cost in gas, I couldn’t make it over to Goodwill for a muu-muu restocking… that, and this week I’ve been attending the Butter & Eggs Day Parade, readying my garden for May flowers, and packing for New Mexico — plane takes off in 10 hours! –will write soon!

Project Muu-Muu has gone off without a hitch. In the last two days I have learned two lessons regarding the wearing of muu-muus:
1. Despite ample ventilation, the polyester ones are not condusive to auto-cooling;
2. Against all reason, muu-muus can be worn fashionably (somewhat). Observe:

The first day of my week-long muu-muu-wearing escapade, I was – as might be expected – a little insecure to be wandering around Sonoma County in nothing but a polyester tent — I do have some dignity, you know.

So I wore it over a pair of 7 jeans (for contrast) and spruced it up with some geek-chic glasses, a red bra and red shoes. Voilà!

The next day I was even more inspired to see just what things these muu-muus could do-do. There’s nothing like a black belt and patent leather ass-kicking heels to make an outfit kick-ass:

Okay. So I’m not Cosmo Magazine nor a fortune teller, but I’m p r e e e t t y  s u r e muu-muus are going to start cropping up on Paris runways this fall… or, at least, covering them.

Pretty straightforward:

I bought several muu-muus from Goodwill (it was Half-Off Friday). I am going to wear them for a week. Pictures included.

I would love to tell you that it’s a statement against global warming, or to raise awareness of obesity rates among young people, or as a way to comment on the globalization of small-town fashion — but it ain’t. It’s just a fun experiment.

Thanks to W.B. for this project suggestion.
