The Finger Wag – Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage

Michael Waltrip: NASCAR driver, one of favorite tweeters of fashion, and he of “I think I’ll wear my hat” fame is back at it again showing off some of his latest fashions.

He seems to follow the Elaine Benes guide to fashion reviewing from her days at the J Peterman catalog:

And finally a discussion on evening wear:

Trust me, no one knows who you are.

There we go.

I attempted to try and tie this into some cool story about Waltrip or NASCAR but that’s almost impossible because the lack of anything cool by either party. So here is the most badass thing Waltrip’s ever done – from Wikipedia

On Saturday, April 7th of 2007 the Catawba County, North Carolina Highway Patrol reported that Waltrip was driving approximately 70 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone when at about 1:50 a.m. he lost control of his Toyota Land Cruiser which resulted in missing a curve. After going off of the road’s right side Waltrip then veered back across the pavement then onto the road’s left shoulder. After sliding sideways his vehicle collided with a utility pole resulting in an rollover with the vehicle finally resting on its side. A neighbor of Waltrip’s testified that she witnessed Michael crawl out of the top of the vehicle (at that angle the passenger doors) then leave the scene of the accident barefoot, carrying his shoes, through the woods on the mile journey to his home.

I’m going to check out twitter. I think I will hate Michael Waltrip forever.
