I had a tweed jacket once
It was a hand-me-down from the yorkshire part of the family somewhere.
I wore it about twice.
Then got a proper suit.

How's the hair going? Still ginger? (Not that that would be a bad thing, it looked quite good from the pics)

I'm not a fan of tweed
I have a brilliant brocade (Possibly? no idea what material it technically is) jacket that I wore a lot in the winter. I also have a American navy vest, which my (British) navy friend shunned me for wearing.

It's ORANGE. not ginger.

I had a camelhair coat once

My mother has a llama poncho
The parents were hippies.

I would never have guessed
from the poncho part of that statement ;)

I have two jackets
A nice big greatcoat (I think, can never remember the difference between the cuts) for winter, and a blazer-cut leather jacket for the rest of the year.

Foreign army stuff can sometimes be a bit iffy, I did once have to very carefully explain to my friend that he might possibly want to not wear his german army jacket round mine while my granddad was there, since he is Polish and fought in the Warsaw uprising (and wouldn't have actually minded, but my mum would have been very naggy about it)

It's not very obviously genuine, could pass for an imitation from the high street
No insignia, or anything. I'm not a big fan of army-wear really, but it was cheap and it's comfortable and good for when I'm wearing something that a purple and silver jacket wouldn't go with...

Fair enough
My jacket getting process basically consists of going to the £10 second hand leather shops in camden whenever one of mine starts to fall apart. Managed to find a few good ones over the years, and still spent a lot less than getting one from a proper shop would cost. (my sister's ex bought a new one, laughed at me, and then got really annoyed that his jacket stayed at the shiny, looking like PVC (despite actually being real leather) stage for ages, while mine was nicely worn in)

My friend almost bought the most amazing leather biker jacket from Portobello
but being Portobello it was mad expensive. I'll pass on the tip about teh second hand shops to her, she'll appreciate it.

I'm not a massive fan of leather jackets. My favourite jacket doesn't fit well at the moment :(

I left my favourite leather jacket in a club
and someone stole it :(

So the only leather jacket I currently possess is a red leather one my mother brought me back from Italy, which is a size too small currently

My favourite one is a red satiny affair from Laura Ashley
only pic I can find of it is this one where you can't really see the jacket and makes me sad as I miss the boy in the picture.

He's actually incredible. I kind of fucked things up though, loooong story. Moral: beautiful 17 year old boys will screw everyone over, including their supposed best friend, and the boyfriend she found for him.
I'm not allowed to play matchmaker any more :(
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 30 May 2010, 23:50, Reply)

I really like the look of that jacket
And any 17 year old will screw people over generally. They don't know how to make things work.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 30 May 2010, 23:54, Reply)

He was beautiful
:(

And scarily intelligent. Was going to do philosophy and physics, think he just applied for Maths in the end.

The boy in the photo is an incredibly talented musician and dancer.

I hate it when people
are so multi-talented :( -maths, physics, music and dancing. He looks nice though
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 30 May 2010, 23:57, Reply)

Oh the beautiful boy and the boy in the photo are different people
B.B. was my best friend for a year or so. Went out with the boy in the photo, didn't end well.


B.B. also sings very well. And as I've said, gorgeous.

that would explain the disconnect
and yeah as above- 17 year olds not so good on the emotional front
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 31 May 2010, 0:00, Reply)

Oh fuck I think he was 16
oh yes he was.

I was "with him" when he was 15 :(

Before he discovered the gay thing
or was he bi?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 31 May 2010, 0:02, Reply)

Long and very complicated story
He is one of those "there's no such thing as heterosexuality" sort of people.
And I encouraged it.
Shit got real quickly.

We all make mistakes
I'm sad for your sake that it turned out so badly
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 31 May 2010, 0:06, Reply)

Oh no, I only lost a friend
J____ got more hurt.
B.B. came out of it smelling like roses, the cunt.

just hope for karma
even loosing a friend is bad enough, and he seems to have fucked over more than one person on the way
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 31 May 2010, 0:11, Reply)

I BLAME ONE PERSON IN PARTICULAR
All the blame could be put on one person.

The whole story is a sad and twisted mess, and everyone (apart from poor J___ was in the wrong at one point). But I blame one person.
Fucking bitch stole my man.
