Baby D doing it better than you.
Baby D doing it better than you.

In wildly provocative turn, professional surfer “Baby” Dion Agius included in vaunted ranks of celebrities who can do no sartorial wrong including, but lightly limited to, Slash and unfairly maligned Johnny Depp!

But what would you wear, if you could?

Making a wrong fashion turn should haunt you, and I know that it does, even though the vast majority of you, here, will pretend never to consider such contrivances. Leaving the house in spats, for instance, or suspenders. Oh it feels provocative in the mirror, seems the right choice but then out in public in those spats and/or suspenders?

Disaster.

Few but few of humanities males can pull off anything. Any sartorial flair. Included in this tiny fraternity are, of course, Guns n Roses guitarist Slash who was able to wear a top hat without wince and Johnny Depp, who is currently being drug through the court of public opinion not because he regularly features cravats but due… I don’t exactly know. Are you following that trial?

In any case, and in a wildly provocative turn, it was revealed today that professional surfer Dion Agius is in their ranks.

The man who can wear anything.

But do you wish you had both the confidence and/or ability to pull off any fashion dream like Baby D?

If you had, what would you wear?

David Lee Scales and I discussed, today, along with the World Surf League’s performative ecology and other such important matters.

You must listen here then weigh in what you would wear, if you could below.

For a guy who can pull off any outfit why have I only seen him in a black beanie, black jeans, and black jacket.

Also… I bet Depp and what’s her face used to have some savage make up sex when they were together. Animals.

Hippy

Yes, animal sex.

Dingus? Looks like a troll to me, just needs green face paint. Full leprochaun.

Congrats LGR. Comment read in full.

I’ll listen to it later

A white fullsuit

Out of context that sounds like a topic all of its own.

Waterproof Polo

I’m stuck on what item a Spat is. Is it some form of open toe footwear?

*Edit* I would wear, a leather or denim jacket, no shirt, and stubbies, footwear optional but should be Dunlop Volley’s. It’s the quintessential 80’s Aussie bogan rocker/Bon Scott vogue – pre drowning in one’s own spew obvs.

Spats are worn over the top of the shoes, socks and ankles (originally to stop dirt etc getting in your shoes on unpaved footpaths).

As shown in this daguerreotype image of Chas’s great grandfather Charles M. Smith, pointing at a non spat wearing gentleman and declaring him to be a VAL at a Floridian sporting exposition (moments before he was slapped)… https://uploads.disquscdn.c… Though by the looks of the ‘Rabbit Toe’ it might be Wayne ‘Bugs’ Bartholomew at a ’70’s Hawaiian bbq (moments before he was slapped)……

Waterproof Polo

Holy shit! Spats should 100% make a comeback!

Surf Spats are quite common as I understand. Typically paired with a smashed Acai bowl.

I wear these when I am weed eating or chainsawing, always before 7am and strictly Saturday and Sundays. Keeps the crap out of my red bands and the neighbors in their place.

Party Pete

Especially after they’ve enjoyed a late night session with the stereo blaring out in the backyard.

ValiantScorn

I’m quite certain he has the right dosages of “drug(s)” to keep him upright, but he’s being “dragged” through court….

Beef & Beer

I dunno who this Baby D bloke is, but I bet he ain’t got nothin’ on Rusty Cudgel…

frank

I wear slap socks, and I don’t care what you all say

Craven Morehead
