A wise man once posed the first (and perhaps most important) question: “Why did the chicken cross the road?” What would the great Greek philosophers think of such a pressing question? And, thanks to my C in A level philosophy, I can tell you there were a lot. And they all had a lot to say. Perhaps the chicken doesn’t actually exist, à la Pyrrho’s skepticism. But what was it that gave those philosophers all their brainpower? You’d be tempted to say their brains, but I’m not convinced. You could argue it was their penchant for homosexual relations, but that would make the majority of Ten Towers geniuses and I’m not seeing it. So it only leaves one thing: their togas. Light, modest yet revealing, and easy to dress up or down. Pair with heels to show your sexy side, or flats to let guys (or girls) know you’re down-to-earth. Vivienne Westwood decided to do it in shiny, navy satin paired with trousers. It says, “I’m here to do business, but I like to have fun.” Drape yourself in whatever you can find, an old tablecloth, some napkins from Pret. Become a know-it-all. The average person has about 100,000 hairs on their head. The capital of Turkmenistan is Ashgabat. Pi is 3.14159265359. It’s too much. Maybe ignorance is bliss. And maybe the chicken did just cross the road to get to the other side.
