They're Bauer skates, right? The best.

They're Bauer indeed, Supreme Elite. There is a little Nike tick on them, I don't know why unless Nike own Bauer or something. They weren't the nicest in the shop by any means (actually other than the pink flowery children's range they were the cheapest) but they;re still pretty nice and they were affordable which was a big deal for me. I could have paid ten times as much but my captain told me that you have to be really high level for skate quality to affect your performance all that much, and since skates only last three years it isn't worth it yet.

I'm quite excited about this, you can tell.

Here is some more detailed specs.

Nike took ownership in the mid-90s, but just sold the Bauer brand last year. They were branding skates with both logos until this summer, according to Wiki.

I bought new skates in Finland.
I had a hard time tightening the laces.

Quote from: jmrz on 16 Dec 2009, 12:35

And yeah, I still have trouble with my skates even though I've had then for years. I have to wrap the laces around my hands, stretch out my legs and pull the laces towards me as hard as I can to tighten them. Half the time I end up hurting my hands in the process.

...Can you not maybe tighten them like corset laces? I mean I have never owned my own skates but I don't recall having that much trouble with it ever.

Bandannas are not a necklace. They are used as a handkerchief or to keep dust out of your mouth/nose while riding on your horse.

I'm glad those photos existed, waiting for this chance to be used.

Recently there was a band photo shoot to try and put together a press kit. Over 200 photos were taken, but I'm sharing my four favorite with you lucky souls.
At first I was afraid,

but then we took the stairs

to ride a cart

and took a picture that captures our group perfectly.

The guy in the green shirt is the drummer, horizontal stripes is the singer/keyboardist/writer and I, keeping it classy with the tie, am the one in the middle of the first two pictures.

I went to see Santa!

I went to see the Olympic torch go through my city and I saw my dad there! He wore a hat that is shaped like a dinosaur. I wore a headband that I bought for $1.49 because I did not know how cold it would be (it was cold). The torch ceremony was kind of cool except it was more like a Coca-Cola commercial. Also this is a bad angle but look! My dad!

Leaving the top button undone and wearing the tie loosely manages to dress down the look, lending the style a more casual effect.

Lunchy it bothers me that I am still slightly attracted to you when you're dressed as a 14 year old girl.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #3890 on:** 20 Dec 2009, 08:11 »

But it is not fancy, and if you're trying to do a Fancy Friday, then maybe the top button should be buttoned.

if you are going for casual you should not be wearing a tie in the first place

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3893 on:** 20 Dec 2009, 08:51 »

yes because there is absolutely no other way of doing that

pilsner · « **Reply #3894 on:** 20 Dec 2009, 08:56 »

Dude there are fabric ties and leather ties that can only be worn casually. Step outside your small sartorial box, there's a whole world out there.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #3895 on:** 20 Dec 2009, 08:56 »

I didn't say it was the only way, but it works. Why can't ties be worn outside of a formal occasion? Sure, you have to be careful with it. A full windsor knot would have been stupid, and if I'd worn it tight with the top button done it would have looked ridiculous, but as I wore it then it works just fine.

As much as I disagree with you on the subject of possible casual ties, I'm totally with you on the subject of leather ties.

pilsner · « **Reply #3898 on:** 20 Dec 2009, 09:02 »

Sorry, was this the Photo thread or the Vanilla thread. It's a good look for some people if they can pull it off.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3899 on:** 20 Dec 2009, 09:06 »

Actually I would contend that you do not look fine. A puffed pocket square would've been far better in the context of what you were trying to achieve. As it stands the whole look feels incredibly unfinished and more than a little schizophrenic. The fact that you're also wearing light denim and you've left yr shirt untucked only adds to this, nevermind the fact that the tie itself is pretty hideous.

To be competely frank I'd say you look quite bad.
