So given it is St Pat’s Day I am going to turn my attention to the Irish (please don’t continue to read if you are Irish as this is not going to be that nice)....Even though today is officially St Pat’s Day….I celebrated (along with thousands of actual Irish People) on Sunday in Sydney’s ‘The Rocks’ precinct. No, I am not Irish but I do like to drink so I felt the need to partake in the celebrations.
I tell you what, if you are ever feeling down about your appearance and your self esteem is lowered – hang out with a bunch of Irish folk. I have never in my life seen so many unfortunate looking people in such close proximity to each other. My normally very pale and freckly skin looked like a deep tan compared to those around me. My normally loud and slightly obnoxious Aussie twang sounded like the soothing sounds of courting humpback whales. The most offensive part of the day though was the outfits that these Irish people choose to wear. I mean, how many ways can one fashion an outfit out of a flag?!?! Note: The colour green + pale skin = sensory vomit.
I am proposing a challenge to all Irish…..Your quest if you choose to accept: You have exactly 12 months to come up with a St. Pat’s celebratory outfit that must not include the following: a novelty tie, a halter top fashioned out of a flag, anything that says ‘Kiss me I’m Irish’ or a felt jester hat. You will need the luck of the Irish to succeed me thinks!
