Default Flip flops are unmanly? Huh?

I'm not allowed in Nordstroms. In fact, they would prefer that I cross
the street at the corner and walk down the other side of the block
rather than in front of their store. Ever since I gave up the
suit-and-tie-required management gigs years ago, I get to dress like I
want to.
My wife keeps threatening to sign me up for "What Not to Wear, Extreme
Edition".

As long as a person's clothes provide at least the legally required
miniscule of modesty and that person isn't deliberately dressing to
**** somebody off, I say go for it. Anybody inclined to take me up on
my standing offer of a Seattle area boatride for out of state NG'ers on
vacation here can darn well wear whatever they want- as long as the
shoes don't screw up the hull or the deck. :-)
