So, I'm watching "I Love the 90's" on VH1, because the fact that I have chores to do hasn't influenced my overindulgence in mindless TV all day today. I have JC on the brain for all the wrong reasons, and the only thing that has distracted me from that is mind-candy.
So, in the "I Love 1994" episode, they went into this whole spiel on the Tommy Hilfiger phenomenon - you know: How one WASPy white guy managed to inflate the price of school uniforms and sell them to the hip-hop community. Serious fodder for the brain - until this shining jewel from Mo Rocca: "One thinks it may have begun with boating on the Harlem River. Yes, you can almost see it - the Harlem Regatta - that was the beginning of it all."
This, combined with footage of Dame Dash doing the the "grown man" version of the Harlem Shake, holding a bottle of Crystal & wearing some Tommy gear, on the deck of somebody's yacht ( a rental perhaps?) just made it even funnier.
Ok, so maybe I'm easily influenced today - I have not been so easily brought to tearful laughter in a while. Wow. I need to relax, for real.
hm...wonder if Mo's touring, and if I can catch him at the Punchline?
