Sock Shopping

It’s time to go sock shopping.  Last time I was in New York I was all about pants, but this time I seem to be having a sock problem.  I first noticed this problem, oh, I don’t know, a long time ago.  Sadly, I did not care at that time that all of my socks were getting threadbare and full of holes.  But then I had my costume fitting at the Metropolitan Opera the other day, and let me tell you, it is embarrassing to be at such a fine institution with holes in your socks.

My problem is that I like interesting socks.  No boring white tube socks or plain black dress socks for me!  No, I like a little excitement in my footly underwear.  And this is only really a problem because I am a boy.  Girls have a much easier time finding cool socks to wear.  For guys, we are stuck with lame socks, or perhaps sports-themes socks, which I am not that into.

Currently, I have several pairs of pirate socks in different colors, I have some Red Sox socks, I have some tasmanian devil socks, and other such whimsical designs, but they are all wearing out.  *sigh*  I need some new socks, but I don’t want to just settle.  I demand fun and excitement from my socks!  But where to go?

Well, I am in New York City, sock fashion capitol of America, so I’m sure there are plenty of places that I can go to get a few pairs of non-lame socks, right?  Unfortunately, when I type “New York non-lame socks” into google, I get some Red Sox info and a page about Albert Einstein.  Not helpful.  But I am off to buy socks today, regardless of my lack of information.  That has certainly never stopped me before!  Wish me luck, and if you know of any secret sock locations, send them my way!
