The tailor is fidgeting with a button on the front of my rental, trying to make the tent look like a Tux.

“This is the best we can do,” she says.

I look at the fancy mirror and admire its gothic style, its masculinity, everything but the reflection.

“It’s your … proportions,” she whispers.

I’m a little more than 20 years old, thinking how to break the news to my friend.

“Sorry, man,” I think, “better start looking for a thinner best man.”

“You can say fat,” I laugh. But inside, I’m not laughing. Not even close.

Lost, I take inventory. I workout like a wild man and have for many years. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. I also eat a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream a day and some KFC for good measure — I gotta “bulk up!”
