Apparently she is being interviewed by a Major Daily Newspaper, and she gently and politely asked me if I&#8217;d mind if she held me up as an example of How Not To Dress. They might even include a photograph of me as a Bad Example. I told her I wouldn&#8217;t mind a bit, under the condition that they mention that I&#8217;m the minister at First Unitarian in New Bedford &#8212; as the great Universalist P. T. Barnum once said, there&#8217;s no such thing as bad publicity.<\/p>\n<p>The only down side is that Peacebang is going to point out exactly those things that Carol has been trying to get me to change for years now, so this article could make things a little difficult on the home front (I have visions of Carol doing the I-Told-You-So dance). But it will be worth it. We will post it on the First Unitarian Web site: &#8220;Come to First Unitarian and see Dan Harper, the minister criticized for his poor personal appearance in a Major Daily Newspaper! You will marvel at the fashion atrocities you will see!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If the story actually gets published, I&#8217;ll provide a link to it. In the mean time, to demonstrate my geekiness I&#8217;m off to Boskone, the annual convention of the New England Science Fiction Association. I doubt I&#8217;ll have a chance to post tomorrow, so see you on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peacebang, the minister who writes the blog Beauty Tips for Ministers, sent an email message to me yesterday.
