Just a question - maybe we all sometimes have to attend a regular wedding or a funeral so it's time to hit the charity shop..cough..ahem.. I mean dig out that expensive suit for special occasions - but how does it make you feel - normal,spruced up or just plain uncomfortable. (loosened ties,top button undone included)
actually it makes me feel together and grown up, especially while drinking....I will add luckliy i hardly ever have to wear one, I've heard it can really suck
it's weird (shit - keep using that word) - like I always thought the blues brothers/sammy davies junior/some of the jazz greats looked smart and kind of cool but then Toni Iomi from deep purple looked rough but kind of rock and cool.I suppose i'm totally out of step with fashion basically - am always lookin out for a hat like captain beefhearts in the troutmask replica era - it's got a special name but i dunno what it is - its not a top hat - and it's not a bowler - somwhere in between - definately american though,i think
yea, we americans have a lot to teach you UK folks about fashion how about a hat like T rex on the cover of the Slider
hold on - youre refferring to marc bolan - who was english - I'm reffering to Captain Beefheart who is American - whats going on here? Next we'll be declaring America and UK have some kind of political tolerance going on - but i won't get any further than that cos i don't know my left from my right.T-rex were great - i played in a band in london who modelled themselves on them - we were almost famous haha - but the lead singer - could've been him born again.he had a girlfriend and she took an hour to get his make up ready - glitter - everything.that was a year of anything goes so where do you get your style from? i've not seen it - maybe its just original seamonster
I don;t know where i get my style, my wife helps me with it, as rust belt US (the part of america that owns the rest rock wise) gave me a foundation. As a teen, I had a lot of english music style fashion influences too
does anyone still wear bullet belts ( i'll have to look rust belt up later on - sounds interesting ) - i inherited my brothers which he bought from a biker sale in a barn.oddly - it had rg engraved into the top of each bullet - it looked 'tuf enuf' then - (thats supposedly an american phrase i got from a francis ford coppola film - might not be right) - but don't see em anymore
I love wearing smart suits. It makes me feel like a proper man. I wore a suit to my aunties' christening in July 2005, and the same one at the School Awards evening in November 2005 (I was overdressed for the occasion because everyone else was in tracksuit bottoms, and more casual clothes!!!) A lot people were telling me how smart I looked, and was rather worried that I was a little overdressed for the occasion. I just felt great and proud, I had my hair cut, shower etc, and wore my suit in the evening for that. Some of the students and staff were asking me how I was doing, and most of the girls were asking me how what course I was doing at college, and how things were going and all that. Also, I wore it for a third time at my nephews' christening in April 2006. I felt like a proper man, and I had a couple of beers as well (Budweiser) and it was great.
I feel spruced up but I only wear a suit when theres going to be a bunch of other people wearing suits so it doesn't matter. I don't really mind wearing a suit.
heh suits are not bad, but when you are the only person wearing them , and the rest of the party goers are casual , then that gets uncomfortable. Sigh, I never forget that day, it was a formal event though but no body cared and everybody came to the dinner party straight from their classes, while I had to go back to my place , get changed and come in a suit, hey, the good thing is that I stood out of the crowd, so maybe its not so bad.
Wearing a sissy suit tells the world that we don't have to do any hard work. It tells the world that we'll never have to work-up a healthy sweat, and that our hands will never get dirty with hard work. It tells the world that we get the real money by spending our days in soft cozy effeminate comfort while others do the hard work. And the ubiquitous neck-tie? Tying neutered limp phallic symbols around our necks is such a powerful subconscious expression of civilized man's latent homosexuality, that it has become the ubiquitous symbol of civilized man throughout the civilized world. Fashion is no accident, and I know exactly what I'm looking at when I look at someone in a suit.
Yes, because I don't think I look good at all dressed up, I felt like such an asshole at my prom having to wear a tuxedo all night lol.

Someone who doesn't want to be 60 still breaking their back, a business owner who appears like they have it together perhaps? Had to come back strong, since you are going nuts with the stereotypes Ps aren't you one of those Hollywood crew guys who somehow think they are blue collar?
The phantasy of our cognitive superiority reveals the depth of our fear of inferiority. The need to own, control and dominate is an anal-retentive symptom of male sexual inadequacy. Together as in; needing the appearance of conformity to a culture of prissy alienation from nature. That's alright, Because as you probably guessed, I enjoyed hitting hard at our suited stereotypes of supposed superiority. Once upon a time.
