THIS. Oh, and Panache, the "WWHD" was awesome! Unfortunately, I'm not as coordinated as he is!

If you spend more than 30 minutes a day actively thinking about clothing that you are and will not be wearing that day, you might be an X Marker
When dressing in the morning if you think “WWHD?” , you might be an X Marker

I fit many more of these than I don't (especially the last one), so I must be an X Marker.

It looks more like a Salvador Dali than a Picasso, surrealism as opposed to cubism. (OK, so I had an art class in college )

OK I got the last joke, and have even thought that myself on occasion. I guess I belong here.

Took me a short while to work out WWHD but as I managed it I guess I must qualify!

The more virulent and terminal form of the malady is when plaid or tartan is not even involved. Panache had the unfortunate experience of witnessing one of my outbreaks upon encountering a fine example of modified Kinguisse pleating style, illustrated below.

We had our pics taken several times that day at the zoo, some with permission, some without. I like to return the favor ocassionally...
