Hey, look at my awesome shirt!

Hey, look more closely at my awesome shirt.

No, no…look at the OTHER side.

Yes, my dainty pink shirt with the delicate embroidery reads “Good Luck, Motherfucker.” It was from last year’s collection of shirt from the amazing Swiss designer, Nicole Locher. Check out the website, Locher’s, for the 2008 spring collection. Sorry girls, you cannot get my shirt this year; you’ll need to pick a different naughty phrase.

The number one reason why I love this clothing line: It’s clever.

Sure, I could go around with a shirt that said “MOTHERFUCKER” in big letters, but where’s the fun in that? I could wear this shirt to work and no one would notice. Mind you, when I showed my shirt to my boss Maggie she laughed her ass off but she’s got a good sense of humour.

Plus, it’s really fun when someone does notice the swear words. It makes for great conversation and I ultimately respect them for being observant (extra points if they laugh).

Ms. Locher puts it best, “The best assets a woman has are her youthfulness, her freshness but mostly her sense of humour.”

Gawd knows I’m laughing.

p.s. thanks to my hubby for sending me this link waaay back in December. He is the one who makes me laugh most.
