Over a week since Met Gala 2018 and Mikey still can't wrap his head around it. Thankfully, Pennie's got the crash course for every fashion-inept listener out there. Why is it the gala so expensive? It's a fundraiser! Celebrities are paying to be there! Is it appropriating Catholicism? No, Jesus Christ! The more you know, huh.

J-Day took place over the weekend and it was everything one could expect and more. Hawaiian shirts, shorts, jandals and bucket hats were out on full display, and Penny might've even spotted a pair of glittery weed leaf specs. Can't be sure though. Our eyes do deceive us sometimes.

What makes a way of dressing take over as a subculture's uniform? And why on earth did the likes of punk band Proud Scum (and Karen Walker) choose to replicate the the jumpers of Donald Duck canon bank robbers The Beagle Brothers?

What starts as a simple query regarding Pennie's weekend turns into deep cut (sorry) woodchopping info. But why _do_ axemen wear white pants? And are those ...Chucks? (Sorry again.)

Deck the halls with dodgy fashion, it's yr mate Penelope Noir. Pennie's here to trace the history of the Christmas sweater, though things do get a little derailed by etymology. Sweater _is_ a gross word, isn't it.
