Hawaiian Shirt Holiday: How Free Market Triumphed Over Political Correctness

Hawaiian Shirt Holiday:  How Free Market Triumphed Over Political Correctness

Early in November, as you may recall, scientists achieved an incredible feat by landing a space probe on a comet. One of the scientists working on the Rosetta Project was Dr. Matt Taylor, whom you will also recall sported some major tattoos and a really awesome Hawaiian-style shirt, as seen in this BBC video:

However, it was not his achievement that drew the attention of some feminists. It was The Shirt, which some angry feminists labeled as “sexist.” Our Victory Girls Nina and Cassy wrote about the so-called #ShirtStorm after the rage of the feminists caused Dr. Taylor to publicly apologize.

Shortly after this kerfuffle exploded, various bloggers discovered the source of The Shirt. It came from a small business called Alohaland, which is located in California and run by its proprietor, Judi. I was curious and investigated her website, and there I found a plethora of some of the most vibrant, colorful, and gloriously politically incorrect Hawaiian shirts I have ever seen.

Then The Husband got a gander at the shirts. Now, my husband has a commercial illustration and graphic design studio and lives almost daily in Hawaiian shirts during warm weather. It’s his schtick, his “man-style,” as he puts it, and, considering his business, they suit him well.
