...most are for bedroom usage only...

This is kind of how I feel about it. I feel like when I am not perpetuating the image of a young school girl, I feel like I am dressing up for role playing as a school girl. That its some overly sexual thing, I really shouldn't wear it out of the house. This isn't helped by the fact that whenever I wear it my boyfriend basically mauls me.

Also, since I am bored and sick and at home, and wanting more dresses, anybody care to hook me up with some links to some good sites?

I think it depends on the length of it. I think ones that are mid thigh and longer are fine and are quite cute, but once they become mini skirts, it's pushing it.

Men are culturally programmed to find it hot.

Anyway I like it, cultural programming or not, though slutting it up with one doesnt really work. Its really the bottom half of a really clean look else super slutty

you're welcome

Reed, yes. It is very nice looking, clean and simple. The tan is a gorgeous color as well, though black is always a classic. Basically what I am saying is eenie meenie minie mo the color and buy one.

Ugh, is that supposed to be an AK-74SU? That is so badly out of proportion that it looks more like Sarah Brady's kindergarten drawings. I wouldn't be caught dead with that.

For best effect, imagine me as a snooty English fashion designer.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #1108 on:** 29 Sep 2009, 20:16 »

In that case, shouldn't you be pointing out that it is not supposed to imitate the AK-74SU, but rather represent the idea of it and as such the proportions are modified to better express an idea rather than an object?

Oh my god. That all just came off of the top of my head. Who am I?

Hugs Not Guns. Sadly, no matter how awesome hugs are, they are useless as money clips and don't really fit in your pocket.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #1111 on:** 29 Sep 2009, 21:06 »

Somebody find a money clip of two arms, one on either side of the money. The clip would then be hugging your money. This is clearly the best idea ever.

We had an industrial designer speak at our product design class, he said the "hug" was one of the best selling salt and pepper shakers ever invented.

Especially not with that icon. It is magnificent.

I love those salt and pepper shakers! I see them everywhere and they are way cute. I did not buy them, because I do not need an excuse to play with my food.

I got the dark brown! It was one of the most difficult choices I have made in ages.

I have those salt and pepper shakers! They don't have any salt or pepper in them, but I still have them. They are great.

I like the second one best.

In fancier words it compliments your figure more.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1126 on:** 01 Oct 2009, 23:26 »

I agree, the looseness around the stomach of the first outfit doesn't look good. That tends to be a problem with just about any woman wearing hoodies, and that top seems to be quite similar to a hoodie, just possibly without a hood.

Don't worry, he/she will get over it after turning 16 (17 for late bloomers).

I'm not sure Nick has any 16 year old friends. :/

What's wrong with cutoffs and slip-on shoes though?

Rolled-up newspaper and a job interview (for a real job).

Drill King · « **Reply #1134 on:** 02 Oct 2009, 08:38 »

I know people who have real jobs(important ones! Like scientists and neurosciences and lawyers and greenhouse gase systems people things), that dress however they like(in several cases, denim shorts,etc) outside of work. so I don't think that's the solution.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #1135 on:** 02 Oct 2009, 08:42 »

Hmmmm... Maybe then a trip to the most rural fair/carnival you can find so that the person sees how well his/her fashion fits-in with all of the hicks present.

Drill King · « **Reply #1136 on:** 02 Oct 2009, 08:46 »

Denim cut offs and slip ons are not really a hick thing.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #1137 on:** 02 Oct 2009, 08:50 »

You have clearly never lived in the Southern US.

edit: Not necessarily a bad thing, now that I think about it.

I never have understood the hatred of Denim Shorts.

pen · « **Reply #1139 on:** 02 Oct 2009, 10:54 »

I don't think it's so much that the shorts are denim, but also cutoffs which don't usually look good and that they're supposedly tight. I can imagine few cases where that might look alright and a lot where it would be kind of gross.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #1140 on:** 02 Oct 2009, 10:57 »

In my mind it is a knee length pair of tight denim cutoffs with like slip on vans style shoes or something and that is where I am going "no wait, I actually like that" though it would change dramatically if they are short shorts.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #1142 on:** 03 Oct 2009, 10:09 »

I should say that the shorts are cut above the knee, and tight. Dude does not have the thighs to be showing off, to be honest? Apparently this is some kind of trend at the moment. Combined with the slip ons it just turns the whole outfit into a whole bunch of unattractive leg.

Johnny C · « **Reply #1144 on:** 03 Oct 2009, 10:31 »

honestly if you're a dude wearing tight jean shorts that cut off more than two or three inches above the knee you have to develop some measure of self-respect cause you're just making the rest of us feel bad

Lines · « **Reply #1145 on:** 04 Oct 2009, 21:43 »

Originally, like Bassist, I was thinking of the rural fashion (like chicks [or dudes] wearing cutoffs so short the pocket linings poke out and loafers or something similar), which is definitely worse. But for this, if they are too tight and/or too short, please think twice before walking out the door. Really I think that should apply to any shorts, not just denim. But luckily it's gotten colder here, so I don't see girls walking down the street in hot pants and stilettos anymore, so I don't have much to complain about with shorts anymore.

michaelicious · « **Reply #1146 on:** 05 Oct 2009, 06:12 »

What if I make cutoffs out of a pair of corduroys? Is that allowed?
