realization, confession that shocks even me
I’m looking at the new Vanity Fair. the only reason I bought it was cos one of my clients specifically asked to have it at the salon. I’m not much of a mag reader unless I’m in a waiting room.
I flipped through it. meh. as always. then there was the Hermes ad. droooool. I even thought about ripping that page out and taping it to the wall next to my computer. but that seemed like kind of a fangirl thing to do cos it’s a guy. but I thought about it and realized I don’t give a shit who’s in the clothes, I just like the clothes. why that and nothing else?
realization: I fucking HATE girl clothes. seriously. all of them. with the exception of some skirts, the fifties type, or the flowing type. I hate girl shoes, except for the ballet flat type which hurt my feet and I shouldn’t buy. any girl shoes I like are modified man shoes. I only like skirts when the tops with them are biggish, soft and flowing, and they never are. basically I like menswear topping a hippy skirt or a long fitted tee and a fifties skirt. otherwise? pants, jeans, menswear in chi-chi fabrics.
I really hate girl clothes. I think they look stupid and uncomfortable. I realize tho that they are fashion and I can appreciate the fashion. I still fucking hate them tho. HATE. I want to start wearing the shitty clothes that I like.

aubergine and red appear to be the new colors.
I knitted myself a sweater just like that once. Only not with a turtleneck.
well the good news is, you could make the shittiest clothes look womderful.
I despise girl clothes, too. they feel weird and look even weirder. I wear black tshirts, with shorts, capris or jeans. all my clothes match the rest of my clothes – black, blue, grey, olive green, for the most part. the main reason I’d like to be a dude is for clothes. and the penis.
I admit our clothes make more sense, working retail I have far too much interaction with girl clothes. My biggest pet peeve is the sizing. Size zero? WTF is that all about? And if I heard right, our size zero is something like a three in Europe, which means their size zero is like a double zero here. And one would expect that if girls are killing themselves to be able to squeeze into said items, they’d at least look good… not so much. They either end up looking stupid or trampy. Yes, this rant does qualify me as an old man but frankly, you started it.
@MuertaVida - And also? The penis is highly over rated.
ROFLMAO @ TimantecII-best comment EVA!
Personally, I know little to nothig about fashion, I just like the words, like aubergine…my favorite word to say. Shoes? Maryjanes, I LOVE them…otherwise, most girl clothes can shove it, though I love asian clothes as in clothes you can buy in Japan, I love the bright colors! (Not that I’d wear them…but I like to look at them.)

When I left the newspaper, we had a stricter dress code…now I can get away with wearing tshirts, sweatshirts, jeans and my hippy sandals (until they change it again). And working part-time/after hours at the other job, I can basically go in my pajamas. I recognize that I’m lucky in this aspect
Then wear what you want. I am sure you look fab in anything!
Yes. Wear what you want. BTW, I lurves what he is wearing.
bahaa, you don’t often hear “shitty clothes” in conjunction with a hermes ad from vanity fair. like the man said, ya can’t dress trashy til ya spend a lotta money.
I steal my husband’s clothes. but he’s not allowed to steal mine. ’cause that’d be awkward.

and by man you mean Dolly Parton, right? acturely, I mostly like my old Gap junk.
What would Buffy wear?
I thought your comment on my site was hilarious. Your’s and Moniet’s (‘Would Jesus Plagiarize’).
@SavonDuJour -
Ha, Ballet flats always make the backs of my feet bleed, how’s that for feminine?
And I’ve taken to maternity tops, though I never have and never will be with child. Oh yes, empire waists.
Other than that, I’m with you. Hell, I am forced to buy guy clothes at times because apparently my 5’10″ heing is gargantuan. (Make the damn pants/sleeves LONGER, they can be taken in, but never out, dumbasses of the clothing industry).
@NescafeMornings -
hell yeah, me too. I have outlandishly long arms and legs for my body. men’s clothing has sizes based on multiple measurements. HELLO, only makes sense. bah.
