Charlie Sheen's Bottom?

Unfortunately when it comes to change, one must hit bottom before any help is accepted.
Bottom - When a person has reached such a deep level of surrender that they become willing to ask for help
Once again Charlie Sheen is on his knees - one would argue a familiar and most desired place for the TV actor - facing what could be his last bottom. Well that is if everyone would leave him alone to his own fate, which can be very difficult to do by those who really care for him. 
In the words of the universal mortal god of all media, Oprah Winfrey; what I know for sure is that in order to implement change in life - especially change we don't like - one must hit a bottom. Has Charlie Sheen reached his bottom? Well let's see.

Please be advised that the images you are about to see are highly disturbing and may produce real emotional responses. Continue reading at your own risk and be aware that this material IS NOT appropriate for children.

Here we have a disturbing shot of Charlie at one of his earlier episodes. Notice the high waisted jeans and the cheap sport fan shirt. The belt seemed to be a dressier belt then suggested for this out-of-control casual look. Then there's a towel on his right leg, perhaps to wipe the blood from his most recent tattoo on his right arm? Who knows? Definitely a fashion bottom to most and yet it was not the end for Sheen.

Here we have Charlie trying to come back from his previous debacle and attempt to recover, however the signs were there all along and real fashion sobriety was far from his reach. Notice the red silk shirt and hanging glasses. Clearly Charlie is in a full blown blackout . And yes, that is Ron Jeremy as his co-pilot. Enough said.





The world became truly alarmed and realized something was seriously wrong with Sheen when these images hit the airwaves. It was evident that something needed to be done, Charlie was in real danger. Hotel gift shop Hawaiian shirt is absolutely a fashion bottom most addicts never even consider reaching since this is just to low a bottom to hit and most die once they have gone this low. Something needed to be done but what? Clearly Sheen was on a death wish.
One of the saddest moments in fashion recovery history came in the form of this photograph. Having learned nothing from his previous Hawaiian shirt bottom, Sheen then goes further in his addiction abyss by buying ANOTHER Hawaiian shirt and this time pairing with high waisted black denim pants, over-sized blue blazer and a Vegas hotel logo baseball cap. When will it end? Can Charlie Sheen ever achieve true fashion sobriety? Will Charlie's children ever have a true power of sober example to follow in their highly addicted father?

What is necessary in this case of dire circumstances is for everyone to leave Charlie alone to live out his own fate. Stylist step away, store clerks do not dispense advice, family members do not clear out his closet. You must let Charlie go through it alone and reach a real surrender. No one can help those who do not want the help. 

The only thing left to do is pray and so I encourage everyone who reads this article to join me in prayer for Charlie Sheen's fashion sobriety. We have lost many to this devastating disease but millions of lives have also been saved. From one who is the front lines of this devastating fashion addiction war, I speak from experience when I tell you that recovery is possible.

  1. This is Epic. CS has been wearing Hawaiin shirts for as long as I've seen him around, which is about fifteen years. May God have mercy on his sartorial soul. Amen.

  2. Some responsibility for enabling Chariles fashion insobriety must be laid at the feet of the costumers at Two and Half Men. They put him in Hawaiian shirts all the time!

  3. It is a self diagnosed disease Mark. We must take complete responsibility for what we put on our bodies.
    I'm afraid it is going to be quite the long and painful road to fashion sobriety for Sheen. There are way too many un-fashionable skeletons in that closet!
