There's just something about wearing a different language on your shirt...

And then there's the fact that most people that buy the same shirt, have no idea what it means, but just like it because it's not in English.

When I bought my first French shirt, I wanted to know what it said before I got it. That way, it was something meaningful, and not something dumb. Like the fact that Victoria Secret has a new perfume called noir. Which is just black...in French.

People use different languages to make things seem more exciting, so that people are curious and want the product.

I would never buy a perfume called black. Seems ridiculous to me.

And since we use let's say, for example, French, on so many items these days, when people see a word they don't know on a product, they assume it's French. And that's not always the case, it would be English, just a made up word a company made.

Now that's creativity.

What's exciting about wearing a shirt you can read, is when people ask you what it means, and you can tell them. Not a 'um...not sure.' and then they'll try to guess and that's just annoying. When you know what you're wearing, it'll make the conversation shorter and less annoying, and maybe once you tell someone, they'll get excited about it.

My first French shirt says:

J'adore la mode. P.A.R.I.S.

Which means, I adore fashion, P.A.R.I.S.

Now that I know what it means, I can feel proud as I wear it around, instead of wondering that the heck it says.
