Britain's Got Fashion!

My professor always shows a video clip at the beginning of class to get us motivated or something. Today her video of choice was from the last season of Britain's Got Talent. Generally these videos have no major impact on me, but today I found that I could really relate to the man on the screen. 

For you see, Michael Collings is an awkward man who discusses how he proposed to his significant other at an all-you-can-eat chinese food buffet. The camera shifts views between the lovely couple shoveling muffins into their mouths. Predictably, Michael heads to the stage, guitar in hand, to wow the judges and audience with his vocal talents. (Apparently this audience had never seen Britain's Got Talent before, because this is not the first time an underdog has stolen the show, but whatever!)

Now, perhaps most people would choose to spiffy up a bit for their national television debut, but Michael Collings donned his athletic wear proudly. While my classmates mocked his clothing, I found myself reviewing my own duds. Similarities? You tell me. 




Lesson learned: The reason I'm not famous yet is a simple matter of location! All i need to do is get an instrument and move to Britain! 

So Thank You Michael Collings! You taught me not to change for the world! 

I'll keep rocking my sherbet leisurewear proudly!
