The 64 dollar question is have you used a youtube tutorial to cut your own t-shirt lately?
It's a cool idea. The last time I cut a t-shirt was because it was too tight on me, and I needed a rag to wash the wall.
But hey, there are so many possibilities when it comes to t-shirt cutting. Rocker style grrr. So many more. Of course, any diy tutorial in this subject is likely to be highly involved, sort of like building your own project car. But hey, if you're twiddling your thumbs on a rainy sunday, lolling about with nothing to do except pay another visit to the mall, it might be neat to just give it a try!

The Fighter: Batman vs. Calvin Klein Model
Just saw the movie “The Fighter.” It's a powerful movie demonstrating resurrection through family, with solid acting that brings to life a well-developed portrait of the relationship between brothers, who could not be more different in term of appearance and temperament.
Drenched with sweat, cotton t shirt bursting with muscles, Wahlberg looks every inch a a boxer (which is one of his real-life hobbies), while his brother looks like he’s been to hell and back. That’s where the movie derives its power, because Bale’s character isn’t really on a path to success, and has no real shot at resurrection on his own. But with his refusal to face reality, he keeps ruining other people’s lives and shooting himself in the foot, even as he acts superior to everyone else with the bravado only an egotistical junkie could muster. I guess family is family.
Bale has already adopted this pared down look for movies like “The Machinist." I’d say he’s doing the reverse of what De Niro did when packed on 60 pounds in his Oscar winning portrayal of the boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull. (Actually, the Raging Bull comparison is apt, given that Raging Bull is another classic boxing movie, though inferior to Rocky in terms of watchablity and popcorn cult status. It will be interesting to see where The Fighter falls into the mix.) But I doubt Bale had 60 pounds to lose for this movie, or even 6.
He looked good in Batman -- lean, of course, because that’s his physique -- but also buff. Plus, we’re used to seeing him in movies like American Psycho wearing Armani tuxedoes, which accentuate his slender look and show him to his best advantage, and not t shirts and Adidas jackets. Incidentally, isn’t Bale great at these disgusting roles? Here he is portraying yet another sleazy character. Which leads us to question -- especially after all those reports from the set of Terminator Salvation -- whether or not Bale is simply a sleazeball himself. Ha! JK, Christian! It's easy to see the lure of playing a character like the morally ambiguous The Dark Knight. (That gravelly voice.)
As I said, based on their t shirt wearing aptitude alone (not to mention their facial features), these guys do not look like brothers, but that accentuates the sibling rivalry. Anyway, it’s questionable whether or not Wahlberg is really a t shirt person at all. Go back to his days as a Calvin Klein underwear model and you’ll know what I mean. It’s amazing that he avoided being pigeonholed and has forged such a good steady Hollywood career and is in solid movies like this – one with Oscar buzz.
Mazal tov to you, Marky Mark, on a great career.
Mockery aside, it would be cool to see what Bale would look like in the upcoming Batman 3 movie, “The Dark Knight Rises” if he were wearing this Batman t shirt. At least he could put it on between takes.

Sad Workout Gear Part 3
The key to a good gym t shirt is it has to fit well and be super comfortable. No crazy tight spandex suits for me. Nothing like Brad Pitt sported in that Coen Brothers film, "Burn After Reading." (I call that the loony bin t shirt, cause it reminds me of a straight jacket.)
And definitely, no corporate tees! Gym time is relaxation time!!!
OK, I admit it, I’m obsessed, so I promise this is the final word on this topic! Theory C is recession-inspired. It's that people are just faking that they work at those companies, when really they got the shirt at the Salvation Army. But then why are they working out at such an expensive gym? Have you seen NYHRC’s monthly rates? OK, scratch that theory!
One thing I can say for sure is for those who've been laid off, it's not healthy to wear the t shirt of your former place of employment. It's highly suggested to burn those tee shirts and curse your former boss while dancing around the flames as cotton burns. Sounds very cathartic, maybe we should start a Facebook group? Anybody want to get that one started?
My last theory is that people in our society are work-obsessed and feel guilty about leaving the office. So this is just another way of having work infiltrate every nook and cranny of their existence, of swearing loyalty to the firm round the clock. Americans! What’s next, working out in your suit and tie?
Don’t like that theory, eh? Put up your dukes!
When it comes down to it, everybody likes wearing a free t shirt no matter its origin, so I'll stop bashing something I sometimes do myself.
The bottom line is if it works for you and makes you feel on top of the world like this t-shirt, wear it!
