Christian is Internet famous again. I wonder whether I should start worrying about his grades. He had some old, beat up boat shoes that he did not want to throw away so he spent Saturday rehabilitating them and made the front page of the Reddit Male Fashion Advice section. The pictures below are the first and last images in a quite complete how-to that explains and illustrates how he did it. The comments by the readers at the end of the article are hilarious. Here is a link to the article. Here is is a link to the images that go with the article.
My friend and colleague Ann R. said it best, “He wrote that? Well…. i guess he is thrifty….. And who knew that Reddit had a ‘male fashion advice’ section.”
The question I had was “Who knew that anyone actually read the ‘male fashion advice’ section of Reddit?” It is on Reddit! It is kind of horrifying if you think about it.

The shoes look awesome and the comments were a hoot! The only thing that I want to know is whether or not they are comfortable and no longer stink or make his feet bleed. Great way to spend an afternoon! I would much rather rehab something, than spend my money. Plus, he will help out more than one ‘starving student’, I am sure!
Thanks Ruthie! We got a big kick out of it. I was there yesterday and saw them in person. It was TRULY amazing. I think he had great fun. Hope all yours are doing well!
