Finds Something Gaudy In The Attic!

 

Happy “Wear Something Gaudy” Day!

That’s right, today is Wear Something Gaudy Day,

which means that it’s your chance to really stick out in a crowd.

The word “gaudy” refers to something bright,

cheap, showy, outlandish, or otherwise not in good taste.


If you tend to buck the trends when it comes to fashion

and don’t consider yourself a fashionista,

today may be your lucky day!

October 17 is Wear Something Gaudy Day.

 

Wear Something Gaudy Day actually got its start

from the hit television sitcom, Three’s Company.

One of the actors, Richard Kline,

declared October 17th as Wear Something Gaudy Day,

and the rest is wacky history!

Write something gaudy today

or write about something gaudy.

And/or bring something that looks gaudy:

a plant / clothing / art work / Picture / or a gaudy vibe.

Just be creative and have fun as we share

    GRUDY IS ME

    *_*

    I wear me stockin
    Of different color for I love the new way that I kin be me
    Like no other just me
    I wear by hair
    In many color just because
    It fits me tease and no other because
    That is me
    And I like me
    Different in many ways we all be
    I like flashy red light
    Other say
    Much too bright
    I just love the darkness in me it makes for a great write
    Gaudy flamboyant flarin garish ostentatious razzle dazzle may they call me
    But not loud noise yet quite as a mouse me be
    Fun most say
    But yet different
    In me own way and all
    Love me just the way me be are so I am told

    *_*

    A BIT ON THE GAUDY SIDE

    _~_

    All deck out I be
    On the gaudy side flamboyant
    And a little bet crazy
    I dress to please
    No body but me just me
    Loud colors
    And outlandish hats
    Over painted lips
    I ride my float
    Down the middle of town
    Many laugh and call me names
    Its okay I be me
    On other
    I party all night
    Till the break of day
    Sleep late
    Get up do it again the very next day
    Its who I am
    Are at the lease
    The one I wanna be
    I am
    Showy in a tasteless or vulgar way
    Flashy garish loud sometimes meretricious tawdry
    Wear a gaudy costume a flashy ring garish colors a loud sport shirt a meretricious yet stylish
    I hurt no on
    I just wanna be me
    Gaudy

    GAUDY AUTUMN

    It’s the most gaudy time of year
    Yellows, oranges and reds hang in the trees.
    and lay on the ground everywhere.
    That’s what leaf peepers love, they please

    The hills are alive with the sight of gaudy
    They come from far and wide to view the sight.
    Then at Halloween, there are the costumes!
    Brightening up the darkness of the night.
