Woof. First thing Monday morning, am I right? Sometimes I need a weekend just to recover from my weekend! But this week is going to be different. We’re going to be jumping out of bed every morning this week, ready to attack the day. No more sluggish resistance from us, no more dragging our feet and wishing we could stay on dream mountain. Because this week we are going to be focused. The petty distractions of our daily lives are going to be removed from our way, and we are going to spend our time doing the things that matter. You see, we are going to be looking good in our scarves. I read once that Albert Einstein wore the same suit every day. That way he didn’t have to spend any time in the morning worrying about what to wear, and he could devote that brain power to important things, like science (he was a scientist, FYI). It might not have been Einstein. The idea is the same, though. You get it. But what about people like us? We can’t just wear the same suit every day. It is 2003! Do you even know how many ways there are to fashion a scarf?

Don’t worry about it! Not anymore, at least. This video has got us covered. Our scarves are going to be looking so good. Einstein, or another apocryphal genius, is a dinosaur.

Hot tip: clips, clips, glorious clips. (Via EverythingIsTerrible.)

  1. MacGyver once defused a bomb and then cooked a four-course meal using nothing but a scarf and a clip.

  2. Thank God a certified ‘Career Woman’ has weighed in on this.

  3. believe her, *what’s* easy?

  4. We’re going to need a bigger neck

  5. this is the styling scarf for our generation, hands down (order now, so we can get a count on the jeweled brooches to match…. i know a guy) :

  6. This is all fine and good if you’re wearing a scarf, but what am I going to do with my Elizabethan ruff?

  7. Forgive me, I know we JUST went over this but I am a slow learner. I just want to make sure I am getting this right because I too want to be in TV commercials and fashion magazines. Its wrap-a-head + pleat-a-bow + scarf-a-clip + oblong bow + clip-a-bib + ass hot + big blow + choke-a-bitch X glorious clips = career woman?

    Great… Got It!

      ohhhh boy. i can totally see you rewinding this video over and over to catch all the scarf knots so your comment would be just a little more accurate and awesome. mission accomplished.

      • haha, it only took one quick review to make sure I didn’t miss any gems. However we have “oblong bow” and the confused “big blow” thanks to said review.

  8. This is great, but what about my ascot?

  9. Someone show this to Chuck Bass.

  10. Dan Fielding keeps this video in his sock drawer.

  11. Is it sad that I actually want to see the whole original video?

    Are you going to jump out of bed every morning focused since you’re older now? You’re what, 78 years old now? Happy Birthday, Gabe.

  13. Einstein Also (apparently) wasn’t into wearing socks. Like ever. I think he was just a slob.

  14. “Hot tip: Take a square and fold it into a triangle. Tie it bandit style over your nose. Apply 4 golden clips in a teeth-like pattern to the front of your bandit-scarf. Voila.”

  15. No better way to accessorize your shoes, than with a scarf clip!

  16. I require you to post a video with the phrase “floppy bow-ties” at least once a day.

    having flashbacks of my mother in the 90′s… off to work in her boxy powersuits, complete with shoulder pads, skirt down to her shins. of course the outfit was finished off with flesh colored tights, square toe pumps (The kind you can play basketball in), and one of 800 glorious scarves… come to think of it, i’m pretty sure that’s still what she wears to work. bless her heart.

  18. I intend to come to work with a scarf and clip ensemble tomorrow. I will let you all know how it goes.

  19. Wait, since when is Einstein just “another apocryphal genius”.

    I’m taking this up with the Nobel committee.

  20. EverythingisTerrible’s editing makes everything much more terrible.

  21. That’s your mom.

  22. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

  23. This has been very helpful. Thank you.

  24. I don’t know–she does look pretty fancy. You’re really turning me around here, career woman.

  25. Who thinks all those scarf design names would make great band names? flop a bow, crunch a head, pleat a bib? badass



  26. Happy birthday Gabe! (So, no scarves I guess…)

  27. Can we get Videogum scarf clips made?

    I have to say, that is one great glamorous bow.

  29. Brenda Dickson is suing for royalties!

  30. St. Elmo’s Fire wants its Love Theme back

  31. If you are French and you are wearing a scarf under false religious pretenses, the Ark of the Covenant might make your head explode unless you close your eyes, and yet she only blinks four times in two minutes: I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ARE THE CLIPS SOMEHOW PROTECTING YOU?

    (This comment was my way of getting Karen Allen to notice me. I will love you forever, Karen Allen.)
