I have no clue why they dance so madly.

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

From the YouTube description:

Germany 1970. The German moderator discuss in the beginning how boring and lame the official looks are and that the fashion and color designers came up with the following outfits to make the game more interesting and colorful. They explain very detailed the colors since at the point many did not have color tv!

Clearly they made my day with the ideas. I just keep cracking up! I have no clue why they dance so madly. latin music dancing models with soccer fashion without shoes. but even Guenther thinks that the trikot needs an update as a service and entertainment for the fans who watch soccer games

OK from a textile design point of view I have to say I love the new 1970 jerseys. Fantastic. The dancing? I have no clue why they dance so madly. See also this recent remix of this video.

White beard man, Parc Güell, Barcelona

Yesterday a police officer came to my door and asked me if he and his team could use my backyard as a stakeout for something going down in the alleyway. Of course I said sure. He gave me a big grin and said, “do you like my undercover beard?”
I said I did, but that it needed work.
He said, “I know. It’s patchy.”

True story. These actually are the people in our neighbourhood. But not the man on the bench above. He’s in Barcelona, via Flickr.
