Big Fat Ostrich

That’s right. BFO Fashion Notes. Your one stop shop for THE latest in gaming fashions as reported by the in-the-know folks at Big Fat Ostrich.

Do you like Metal Gear Solid? No? well how about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker? Yeah, I thought so. Well if you liked Hideo Kojima‘s 2010 release of the ongoing flashback flash-forward stealth classic, you’ll be mowing down the enemy to get your hands on one of these. Or maybe you won’t. Maybe you’d rather get the military field pants. They do kind of look comfortable. Like Capri pants, in which case they might be better suited to wear on your beach vacation in the Barbados.

All that just to say that the MGS store has your Peace Walker collection so that you can look and feel just like Naked Snake aka Big Boss.

Really?

Big Boss? That’s his name? The Metal Gear franchise has like 10 releases in the series and the guy’s name is BIG BOSS?? Are you kidding me? That’s all they could come up with???

Suddenly I’m not so sure how I feel about Metal Gear when their men’s clothing line has better names than their main character dude.

So join us next week when BFO Fashion Notes talks about what colours you should and should not be wearing in your kitchenette.

Welcome to another edition of Ostrich News, our semi-regular column featuring stylin’ ostrich related tidbits.

This week’s search turned up a strange, but not too surprising find: A laptop sleeve/slip that’s probably worth more than your laptop. Yes, it’s a laptop slip made out of genuine ostrich leather. It’s priced at Nordstrom for $998.00 (before tax, or course) which is probably what it costs per month just to feed a pet ostrich. Well in that respect, I guess turning your birds into bags makes good economic sense while selling them to people with no economic sense.

It comes in three colors: yellow, light blue, and caution orange, as in “caution, your account is overdrawn”. It’s designed for a 17″ laptop too, so if you’ve got a 19″ laptop, do not rush out and buy this bag! Otherwise, you have the all clear to whip out that credit card and start shopping.

Interesting…I can’t believe I’m reviewing a fashion item. We don’t actually have a fashion category here at BFO, and I don’t think we’ll add one. We’ll just file this one under Ostrich News and try to forget it ever happened.

Personally I think it would have looked better with the feathers still on.
