Being Patriotic is Cool???

Where can I begin with this, with Canada day now far gone and Independence day lurking around the corner, is it really cool to pull out your Country's garb and feel like you are cool?? I ask this because I can't really see myself put on my Red and White and walk around not thinking I am a mommy and I dress to impress my kids not the general fashionista in me. I am hoping to get in a Fifa World Cup Under-20 game this month and would like to wear a flag fashionably, is it really possible?

Well in light of the last MMVA's here in Toronto at the Much Music Headquarters, our considered Canadian sweetheart (who really calls L.A. home)Avril Lavigne was wearing Canadian gear. I can't help but think when I see a Canadian flag attached to anything but a flag post that the person is a tourist backpacking through Europe. Perhaps we don't have the Patriotic flare that Americans do, maybe we all don't wear our country on our sleeve. But is it ever cool to wear your country's flag as fashionable garb. Some blog about it, other than me interestingly enough.

So in honour of every one's country... happy holidays, happy firecracker displays and well good vacations to you all. But please don't wear those tacky T-shirts!
