Bathroom Monologue: Bucking Samurai
“No, it’s not your kimono. I’m just cracking up at all the samurai with deer antlers on their helmets. I guess really crazy pointy things look demonic or intimidating in war, and this custom was established before a lot of natural biology came about, but you do realize antlers are mostly a mate-attraction-thing, right? Meaning that Japan’s greatest warriors have big old deer hooters hanging over their faces?”

I went to a school with a lot of fashion majors, and was always surprised by the unwillingness to build an ensemble around a pair of antlers.
