Once upon a time, erstwhile Donald Tusk was Prime Minister, he wanted to visit South America. According to his own words, he made a journey of life, was in Chile and Peru, of course in matters of state importance. During the visit in Peru, on 14 May 2008, the Cooperation Agreement on Tourism was signed, very important, undoubtedly crucial for our future. The agreement was not signed in Chile. And it is not known whether Donald Tusk was more pleased to receive the Order of the Sun Cross of Peru or to fund specified a cool journey by taxpayers. With joy he bought himself a commemorative Peruvian hat, a colorful llama wool pilot. Unfortunately, he appeared in this hat to the media, which from now on had no more crucial subject. Suddenly, all global events ceased to release air time for what was most important, the Prime Minister's hat. Somehow, the cap's contents never got any interest. In various ways, Tusk was accused of deficiency of elegance and wondered if it would be appropriate for the Prime Minister to show himself so gratuitously dressed, even though it was no authoritative appearance, just a household trip, and he himself outside the hat was in a suit.

Extremely serious discussions and comments on the colored wool cap poured out of all media outlets. The most to say was, of course, experts from fashion and elegance, adequate according to the whipping Prime Minister for plebeic tastes and a full deficiency of elegance. Finally, the heaviest cannon was produced. any popular tv show featured a bizarrely dressed plastic surgeon victim and categorically stated that No headgear is elegant. She most likely meant male elegance, so let's stay with her. With her strong and simple statement, the expert solved the increasing problem. The strength and logic of her single conviction are irresistible, but I will make a small to explain how I realize it. The elegant gentleman gets into an elegant car in his own garage and gets out of it in the garage of an elegant hotel or institution he manages. The elegant gentleman doesn't request any headgear. If he had one, it might propose that he may be exposed to elements, as is the case with those who are not elegant. The deficiency of headgear is simply a essential component of elegance, just as the snow white untouched by the sun's rays the skin of the old ladies was an essential evidence to their advanced position.

In addition, with the same laconic statement, an highly assured expert invalidated thousands of years of human history. No headgear is elegant. The fact that Hercules Poirot in the bowler, or Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, or Musketeers in their hats were indelicate, can yet be overdone. However, how to explain to many popes and rulers that tiaras and crowns are strong evidence of deficiency of elegance. They should be ashamed of them, not at authoritative celebrations.

The Prime Minister was awarded the large Order of the Sun Cross of Peru, the highest Peruvian distinction.

Fashion dictators follow unusual paths, and the depth of their thoughts is impenetrable to average people. They declare erstwhile and for all the absolute, insurmountable limits, only to be able to show their unique, inaccessible creativity to the people by crossing these limits. For many years, sandals, a symbol of shame and beet were absolutely forbidden. applicable considerations of specified a combination were completely irrelevant, specified as the request and desire to hide destroyed feet. besides irrelevant was the fact that these elements were better or worse harmonised with each another and with the remainder of their clothes, circumstances and whatever else, what in the richness and diversity of life can be expected. Just ruthless not. No justification.

Meanwhile, the highly fashionable hollow jeans have become so popular that they are worn on various occasions and have not heard the opinion of the deficiency of elegance of this outfit, although in my unenlightened opinion it is simply a specified grandfatherhood, even if it is expensive. besides there was nothing reprehensible or ridiculous parading in winter in tempting tennis shoes almost (foots) or completely without socks. The pants' legs couldn't be besides long to cover this beauty. So stupid, I hear, was it elegant, but sandals socks? Absolute and eternal not.

However, in fashion, eternal means until another dictator invents another dictatorship, boldly breaking invented any time ago by himself or akin conventions. So here we have sandals socks in the large world.

The fashion rapporteur of the Policy concludes his text with these words: “There is something ironic about this hardcore norm, a kind of mass joke. besides with good taste." So his sense of good taste is shaken, but soon. The priests of good taste will explain to him how. Meanwhile, I am beginning to fear that shortly socks for sandals will become mandatory, and without socks only a peculiar model can be worn.
