You might need yo put on your plaid goggles to spot this one.

Captured the afternoon of May 14th, 2008 by Rosebud, PVP CCPS-TL. We're not even gonna ask now he managed to weasel his way into this secret back room, we just know he's sneaky like that...

This is the first post we have received through our new FRIENDS OF PVP facebook group. This online group is set up not as a blog, but as a contact point for fans of plaid voyeurism across the world wide web, as well as another collection sight for plaid capture. With over 100 members and counting, the group is proving a viable avenue for spreading the awareness. Thanks TICKER, for your post, and keep 'em coming!!!

CROSS COUNTRY PLAID SAFARI: DAY 2: South Dakota

As you know, the Plaid Voyeurism Project is on an Intercontinental Plaid Safari. Today's post was transmitted with the following caption: South dakota Internet. Midday.

Hmmmmmm...

Well, we're not trying to nitpick, but when we asked them to please clarify the difference between the South Dakota internet an the New York internet, ROSEBUD, Team Leader of the PVP, CCPS (Cross Country Plaid Safari) got a bit defensive. Here is his response:

"I am the head of the PVP, CCPS. I'm out hre on the front lines. I don't have time for questions like that. Shoot first. Ask Later. Post it, don't post, that''s not my job, I just capture plaid in uncharted territories..."

recieved Tue May 13. 3:19pm EST.

BUT THEN THEY SENT US THIS ONE:

Transmitted Tues May 13. 5:26pm with caption: South Dakota. MIdday BLUE and BLACK in the distance by a huge pile of mulch.

Ahhhh, That's more like it! South Dakota Mulch, that's nothing like New York Mulch. New York doesn't even have mulch. Bravo ROSEBUD! Bravo Team CCMU! We look forward to tomorrows post. Drive safely, boys, and don't forget to buckle up!

RED and WHITE: Summer Weight.

This is a fine specimine of summer weight buffalo plaid. Yes, some may call it gingham, but as temperatures rise, here at PVP, we're letting our definitions blur a bit, even if only for the opportunity of including a photo as awesome as this one. Thanks LAB PARTNER! Y'all stay hydrated, now, ya' hear? 5/12/08

HOME SWEET PLAID

This post is the facebook profile pic of Vermont Correspondent, HEAVY D. Not to toot our own horn, but we think the dual plaids featured might, just might be a PVP inspired "co-incidence." (Thanks for the hatching egg, H.D.) 5/11/08
