Title of titles

In conversation with Morgan today, we develop some interesting leads in terms of titles to make pieces to, oblivious to bored sales associates in FOXY LADY clothing store on 14th street.

"Never before seen!"
Perhaps, in the style of New York:
"Never before seen...even by the choreographer!"
"Never before seen...never before rehearsed!"

Killing time and killing feet circling blocks (that is an oxymoron - rather said, around the block and between and back again) we discover Chinese fashion apparel in the store next to HERS where almost every item is individually housed in plastic and most every item, in comfortable flashback to my Hong Kong/Singapore past, is usually passable except for one, or two, fundamental flaws.  This penchant for the designed faux-pas can also be coined:

"So close, yet so far"
Or
"So bad it's good"
Or
"No, we really mean it, this stuff is impossible, but you can get away with it if you are tall and skinny or Yves Saint Laurent"

A woman wearing a purple leather skirt and shag denim sweater and 3-foot-long rabbit ears walks into a yoga class full of optimistic, yelling bunnies. The men in the class are naked and perform downward dog with their dongs at attention. The class ends with a communal Bananarama chant and the simultaneous consumption of a 30-foot Italian hero.

I would like to consume an Italian hero.
If you do not wish to get my drift, you may stand upwind.  Hakuna matata pranayama.
