The ultimate in PBS sweaters hit the auction block on EBAY! Bill Cosby's sweaters!!!
Bidding is starting at $5000.00. Are you kidding me?
Now, you would think a rational person would turn their nose up at a hideously patterned and dated item of clothing, but you would be soooo very wrong. Now, as a joke, last Christmas I went on the scavenger hunt of a lifetime for an authentically ugly PBS sweater. I was thinking I would never ever find the perfect one, boy was i mistaken. I only had to go to Macy's to find the diamond patterned treasure for my husband. (he has yet to wear it. In fact I think the tags are still on it.)But don't worry honey my feelings aren't hurt................Anyway, every where i turned was an argyle, diamond, checked, striped and stenciled masterpiece.
The problem being these were not cheap items, which tells me we have demand for such atrocities.
Now, anyone who has ever watched a PBS concert, and you know you have, knows exactly what a PBS sweater looks like. The camera spans out into the dancing predominately white audience,
and it is as if Moses himself parted the sea of horrible patterns. It is a sight to be seen. Since these are the people who like to think they are hip by being able to name all the Huxtable clan, (including that little pain in the ass Olivia,) I think Bill will have no problem getting top dollar for his delightful and wacky sweaters.
