the strange world of very expensive cufflinks
Cufflinks can be very classy and hot, it's true. They're the sort of useless, ornamental peacockery that modern notions of masculinity can always use more of. (I mean, they require you to buy French cuffed shirts that are both more expensive and come without a button. That's anti-utilitarian foppery ( Read more... ) -
fashion in games
Video games and fashion don't intersect all that much, at least not beyond simple choices like "what is my avatar going to wear?"
