Guys I don't think she ripped them off and stared lustily at his crotch as he went to put on some new pants. I don't see how it's creepy. Strict, for sure, but you guys must have heard of parents saying "you're not going out in that, are you?" at some point, no?

No because I don't have the kind of mother that confiscates my pants.

You're also not fifteen years old, dude.

When I was 15 years old I wore a thrifted old man suit, a tie and had a backpack that was a stuffed elephant and my parents didn't say shit.

Hell, I'm 22 and my mom still nags when I wear stuff she doesn't like around her. I don't think she'd confiscate my clothes, though, but I'm sure she's wanted to. Multiple times.

Guys, maybe we don't all remember this, but it was established shortly after he got here that MU had some pretty strict folks. Wasn't his first thread about trying to find ways to listen to music without getting in trouble?

When I was a teenager, I wore a ratty 3-cornered hat to school every day. My mom hated it and told me so repeatedly, but she never confiscated it.

On Saturday. I was wearing a black dress with black tights, a waist belt and heels. Not at all inappropriate. Sometimes, parents are cocks.

When I was getting ready to go to Germany last summer, my mother took me shopping (this is seriously rare) because and I quote "you cannot go and look after two small children whilst dressed as a prostitute".

You've seen photos of me, right? Do I really look like a prostitute?

Guys it is not fashion-thread relevant but the blog thread is blocked from this computer and I am PISSED OFF. My best friend and I are meant to be going to London for two days in two weeks (sort of a college trip except that it's an educational trip for a subject we don't take, so basically it was just for a trip to London) and I found out just now that he's not going any more. Apparently just about everyone else already knew this, he just didn't bother telling me because he thought I'd be angry. Too right I'm angry, I'm angry that he didn't tell me earlier! I don't know what his reasons are for not going, he said something shitty like "I had a row with my mum" which sounds really stupid.

GAH I AM SO PISSED OFF AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. I'm gutted that he isn't coming, because I was really looking forwards to it, but I would understand if he would deign to explain to me. But I'm so angry that he didn't bother telling me. I don't want to go to London on my own. MEAHYJLKAE ST/LIHAE yt/. Why am I so cross?

Sorry for blogging out the fashion thread. I will delete all the blogginess when I get home.

You wore a fucking Tricorn hat? That's badass!

These are the boots I got. Standard military issue I think, at least around here. They were 9 dollars.

This is my new bag. Brown leather, 4 pockets, removable shoulder strap, basically hella sexy. It cost substantially more than 9 dollars, and it was 50% off.

Also have some bright yellow cords, a new hat, and a navy/black plaid pendleton shirt.

I am still confused. I just got the best pair of ghetto 5 dollar earrings. The are of the chunky hoop variety. They are so large that I cannot wear my tunnels with them.

They look much like this, except smooth and silver:

I hate shoping, but I love the clothes. Here are a couple of brands I wear often;

- H&M
- Express
- Vans
- Lucky
- Guess
- Old Navy

Some people like video games, others spend it on pot, I'm just a t-shirt guy; I'd like to have as many as possible. So brands aren't a factor of where I get my shirts.

That scarf and that t-shirt = No.
Those shades and that scarf = maybe possibly, if you had a lot more attitude and really long hair and some form of awesome leather jacket over the top and it was really cold?
Those shades and that t-shirt = only if you have ABSOLUTELY no other shades to wear and it's really sunny.

Ladybug · « **Reply #3339 on:** 13 Mar 2009, 15:06 »

Basically, stuff that is necessary for people to understand who and what you are replying to. If it's a picture, and it isn't directly above your post, you could either reference the picture by saying whose photo it was, or just remove the photo from the quote and replace it with a describing text, such as [photo with glasses and scarf] or something. It makes the page much less crowded, and it is good for those browsing from phones etc.

And yeah, quoting something from the post directly above yours is rarely necessary, unless it is a long post and you are replying to a single sentence or two, then it might be useful.

Yes, truthfully, you look a little too old to dress as an early 20s hipster. You should be graduating into some collared shirts, polos or button ups are both fine. Invest in some blazers for warmer weather, and maybe a pair of not too full of themselves aviators (No reflective lens or metallic frames). Get a traditional scarf, if you still want to be fashionable get a long as fuck one since theres a million ways you can wear it.

The funniest thing is watching hipsters of a Jewish background (the same who like talking out their ass about their misguided Zionist beliefs) prance around wearing keffiyehs not realizing that the garment they are wearing advertises their support of pan-Arabic reunification and the destruction of the Israeli state.

It really bugs me when people wear keffiyehs without understand the political/historical significance of them.

Particularly hipster girls.

See, I thought the whole point of hipsterism was to out-irony the other guy.

I might actually go buy a keffiyeh tomorrow. Why? Cos I think they look pretty cool. I'm pro-Palestine, but that has fucking nothing to do with what I wear.

Ahhh I spent like 20 mins trying to find this convo, anyway I didnt we decide that it really isnt about Palestinian solidarity since its just been adopted as a piece of fashion. And its roots were actually in functionality to keep sand out of desert peoples faces. So as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity realistically can only be acknowledge as more of a Yassir Arafat solidarity symbol at most. And even then it petered out in 2003 or whatever when Hamas replaced the PLO in some dubious elections.
