A few nights ago I found myself, randomly, senselessly, in a sake bar located in the Embarcadero surrounded by people who looked like they had just snorted a bucket of cocaine, constructed a time machine, and traveled back to the late eighties for the sheer purpose of raiding my cousin's closet ( Read more... )

Confronting insecurities without clothes = good times.

Wearing something different every day is like having a small pimple. No one notices or cares except you.

So true. I have to say this has been one of the greatest realizations of my adult life.

I don't know if you've ever experienced or witnessed the severe degree with which adolescent girls can ride out the whole outfit thing. It's like I remember girls in junior high who used to wear double socks so that colors never touched. As in blue shirt, white pants, blue socks, white socks, blue shoes.

As a modern day pauper, my fashion choices tend to be determined by the color of the tag for half off specials at Goodwill.

My closet looks like Charles Dickens and Tim Burton got drunk and threw up a wardrobe.

I'd say a good 60% of my wardrobe consists of clothes my dad and/or brother have gotten too big for. Yay for "hand-me-downs."

So true.

I've missed you, and am glad you're back. :)

Thanks, that's a very nice thing to come back to. :)

People who wear things are losers.

threepennies July 25 2005, 05:17:14 UTC

I have no comeback to that.

alchemi July 25 2005, 05:20:27 UTC

Good to see you again.

Alternately, if you wear the same thing every day you kind of feel like a scab, or a blood clot. Speaking from experience, of course...

A blood clot?

I don't wear the same thing every day because I have a tendency to spill every available fluid on my clothes within a hour of getting dressed.

I've been looking into stain-resistant schoolyard uniforms. I'm thinking a cross between Japanese primary and Scottish prepatory.
