Stupid clothing choices
Today is friday, dress down day across many offices nationwide. Running late this morning I have put on flip flops rather than shoes and socks and am subsequently wet cold and miserable.

What stupid clothing choices have you made in the past?

No, not in traditional dress
she was wearing jeans, trainers, hoody, but with a little skirt over the top of her jeans. Like in the old days.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:20, Reply)

When you walk in flip flops
your toes make a claw motion to hold the flip flop to your foot. If you wear them enough your feet will eventually start getting used to this motion and you'll have spacker feet.

Which is ironic for someone who has spent his whole life oblivious to that which is fashionable. You see, I went through a phase of wearing a black trilby hat on stage. Then a couple of years ago, a more fashion-conscious friend pointed out that these were all the rage. (Since they have been adopted by the Shoreditch Shitehawks I have actually stopped wearing my own, which is a shame because it's a nice hat)

Ditto the checked shirts. Ditto the long hair. The difference being, I'm glad to say, that they seemed to expend vast amounts of time and money getting these to look just right, whereas I can grab the first shirt that comes to hand in the wardrobe and my hair pretty much maintains itself.

Hmm... still skeptical...
I haven't dressed like that since my teens. At one point it was all about dressing like The Crow, as so many goths do. Oh the shame!

I hate the Crow look. Skin tight leather and electrical tape isn't as hot as you would think. Plus Brand Lee kind of needed to wash his hair.

I look back and cringe
But at least that period didn't last long. Top Dollar in The Crow looked far cooler, and I wish I had his voice.

My art student years:
Black leggings
Black t-shirt
Black short skirt
Para boots
2nd hand old grandad coat

I looked like Max Wall.

Pretty much all of them up until I was about 15
about half of them from age 15 to 21, and only a small percentage thereafter.

I have dress-up Friday
It was named Frocky Friday when one of my colleagues realised that I 'd started glamming it up with heels and stuff on a Friday.
Psychologically it has a decent effect and makes friday feel even more special.

We have casual Friday too
Although since joining 5 years ago the rules have got a bit stricter though. No flip-flops for me (thank FUCK) and no t-shirts with rude slogans (ahem).
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:24, Reply)

I really hate that Cradle of Filth 'Jesus is a Cunt' tshirt
I don't know why, I just think it's a little too offensive.

Also there's a tshirt from another band, I can't remember which, that says "Music in A Minor" which shows a little girl stuffing a flute up herself. I nearly boked when I saw that.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:35, Reply)

That's just wrong
My shirt says "I'd rather wank with knives, but thanks for asking".

Then I'll tell you about the other tshirt a manager frowned at
"Fuck politics, I just want to burn shit down."

I have a few favourite t-shirts that my gf won't allow me to wear when out with her:

"I came on Eileen"
"I haven't got Tourette's I just think you're a cunt"
"What do you want wanker?"

I do that!
Although I did it on Tuesday instead because I was sad and wanted to cheer myself up.

A boiler suit, bought after seeing The Cure wearing similar doing A Forest on Top Of The Pops
I looked more like Kenny
"Do the bump, do the bump"
(Cave Duck, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:29, Reply)

i bought those calf and bum-toning trainers
although ironically my calves and bum are probably my most toned bits.

i don't know if they work, but they do look a tiny bit as if i have two club-feet.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:33, Reply)

The skechers ones look so much like orthapaedic shoes

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:36, Reply)

yes
yes they do. and those are exactly what i bought!

they are pretty but orthopaedic.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:36, Reply)

I don't like them at all. Please hide them before I come round later.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:38, Reply)

she was planning to walk up and down your spine wearing them

Only if you promise to hide that massive German sausage of yours

Oh I will be 'hiding the sausage' alright.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:47, Reply)

god
i don't wear my ass-toning shoes in front of sexy guys. you know me better than that!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:43, Reply)

You won't be needing them.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:48, Reply)

how about the red stilettos
shall i leave those on?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:51, Reply)

Ah. Those you will be needing.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:51, Reply)

so just to clarify
shiny red patent stilettos are sexier than club-footed trainers?

got it.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:54, Reply)

what about black lacy heels
or high heeled schoolgirl lace up shoes and knee high socks?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 12:14, Reply)

Good lord how can you ask me to choose?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 13:24, Reply)

sorry!
They're kind of cute, but in a Forrest Gump way.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:42, Reply)

they are ok if
your trousers are long enough to cover the special soles, so you can only see the pretty sparkly and pink bits. otherwise...

clubfeet!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:44, Reply)

Let me know if they work!

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:47, Reply)

my bum does hurt
but that could be after various drunken escapades last night (of the clumsy rather than sexual type)

my calves though are stupidly toned from too much aerobics when i was younger - even the powerplates on maximum can't make them feel anything! but i will let you know if the bum gets better.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:53, Reply)

Yeah sorry about that.
I 'accidentally missed' once or twice, I think.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:54, Reply)

would be a dumpable offence.

no pun intended.

I haven't yet
got my Crombie resized. It was my grandfather's and the man was hewn from granite. I'm not a small guy by anybody's standards, but it's like a tent on me.

It's by far my best coat, I've had it for years and haven't been able to wear it once.
