Shoes by Nasa, Coat by the Von Ribbentrop...
Don't you just love how everything from a certain period that was vaguely technological was developed on the space program? Velcro, those pens that write upside down, the material for those tele-marketed matresses? You'd be forgiven for assuming that Nasa invented the modern world. Odd then that it never won me any cool points at school, see at junior school, I was that boy, you know the one, despite trying everything could not for the life or him tie his shoe laces. So, I had velcro, this stuff was developed by Nasa, my mum would tell me on the way out of the house, while I beamed at my white basketball style trainers, Nasa technology? How cool was I?!? And so I'd trek off to school, studiously avoiding puddles and mud, and walk into the room, in blisfull ignorance to my inherent lack of cool, although in fairness to me, while I honestly liked the budget velcro trainers, even my pre-adolescent self had figured that the grey duffel coat that the folks made me wear was a major fashion faux paux. Anyway, in delightfully fragile way that schoolyard misconceptions do, my ignorance was soon shattered, and I was well and truly bullied for them, lucky I had my trump card. 'Velcro is cool it was designed by NASA' oh, how they laughed. And so I passed my third year in primary school, shoes by nasa, coat by the wermacht and bruises by most every other child in the year. Nasa technology my arse. |
