Your dress sounds lovely, Angel. And good advice there. Be brave and bold! Aye.

I tried on a skirt once, and it was the most comfortable thing I've ever worn. Why this is a women's garment, I have no idea. You ladies can't even appreciate the freedom of dangling balls. It makes no sense.

I bought an interview/summer dress yesterday that I thought was dark blue - but apparently is black (damn) with little dots: Stick a jacket over it, add a plain neck scarf, and it should be ok for an interview. For my other interview the day before I'm wearing full suit attire as it's a top notch girls school. The school I'm wearing the dress and jacket to is a community college though, and on visiting I found that the kids and teachers all wear combats and jeans - and generally look as scruffy as hell. I want to look smart and professional - but not stuffy and rigid as I don't think it's right for the environment. Really though I like wearing biz-dress and would prefer that student's look smart and don't call me by my first name!!!!! Ah well. What will be will be.

It makes no sense. LMAO!!! Y'know David Beckam wears skirts - if he can, I don't see why you can't. Skirts are great - and day-dresses. Love ma skinny jeans n all, but on fat-days, a skirt is such a huge relief. Not that I'm sure you'd know about fat-days Luke.

Sadly, we men of the Metrosexual Age are forced to deal with fat days.
Although my lower body never feels fat. On fat days, I usually just trade in the size small shirts for the mediums.
Beckam does wear skirts, doesn't he? I remember hearing that somewhere. I wish I had some Scot in me, so I could at least pretend like it was a kilt. I'm part Hawaiian, though, so maybe I could do a grass one, if I weren't the lightest skinned Sicilian/Hawaiian ever born.

Grass skirts and mardi gras beads! I'll say! Y'could pull it off mate. Start a new trend - Beck's skirt didn't quite take off, and he did get laughed at in all the tabloids - but then he's just a bit of a nob really.
My fat days are always bottom-half focused (unfortunately). Not exactly pear-shaped, but I have little bloated tum days (like all women I spose). I often prefer shopping on those days, because then whatever I buy won't rely on me being at meh skinniest.
Good tip - go shopping as late in the afternoon as pos. We all look at our best first thing, bt that's not when we'll be parading in our finery.

These metrosexual men. It's on the increase. Jllm is always asking "does my bum look big in this?". And he spends far more time in the bathroom and checking out his reflection than I do. Vain git.

Part of me is now tempted to put on a skirt and some beads just to take pictures for this board. I'd STEAL "Most Gay" after that, for sure...
You make me want to go shopping, Doll. Although I'm going shopping for a new suit sometime next week, I'm psyched.

I dunno - if you posed next to Riley wearing the skirt and beads, with Riley in a rugged vest and jeans combo, I'd still say "Riley'd be the chick"
Team it with some clip on earrings and a handbag though and you might swing it....
I did the suit thing yesterday Luke - HORRENDOUS. Who do they make those things for these days? I ended up in the petite section of a department store with the smallest jacket they make and some shortarse trousers - and it's not like I'm tiny - I'm 5'4 damnit!
What do all the really tiny people do? Shop in kids stores?
We need made to measure like the guys.
What is your suit for Luke? Got an interview or something?

A wedding. I've been needing a new one for a long time, anyway, so it's more of an excuse.
Tempted to spend the money on Lost Wedding Ring, but I'm not getting a new one of those until I KNOW I'll never find that thing.
And my mom is 4'10, and buys quite a bit in kid's stores. My wife sometimes shops at the Limited Too, which is for young girls.
Earrings and handbag not happening. I won't even carry my wife's, and if I have to hand it to her, I'm all abrupt. One of the saddest things I've ever seen was a guy walking from the bar to a car to put up some girl's purse. What a vagina.

Ah - a wedding. Tis the season. I'd offer advice - but I'm hopeless with men's clothes. Unless it comes to T-shirts - then I take charge and tell Jllm what to wear. Otherwise, every t-shirt would be plain black. The old goth. YOu lost your wedding ring? ? ? Yikes. That's got to hurt. Does your wife know? Easy things to lose though - I always used to be twiddling and leaving mine places. Damn thing always turned up though. Like a bad penny I've heard of people shopping in kids shops - those youngsters have some trendy togs these days - not like the cord skirts and paisley jumper shit my mum used to put me in. I think sizes are getting bigger actually - probably because clothing manufacturers realise we're getting bigger, but don't want us to be too depressed to buy new togs. Have your Maccy D's and your size 4 jeans! Sneaky bastards. I'm always handing JLLM my handbag. And he takes it. What a vagina.

She knows. She'd be pissed, but her dad is on his fourth ring, and she adores him enough to almost find the quality endearing. And it helps that her buddy Dan lost his about a year into his marriage.
I'm more upset than she is. Feel like a little boy without it. I like wearing it. I think the washing machine ate it. Last I remember it, I had it in my pocket when I was cooking. So it's in this house, unless the washing machine or dog ate it. If it's the latter, than it's prolly outside in some poop.
And haha, JLLM, nice handbag, you sissy.
I should be able to pick out a pretty good suit, and if not, the wife's an expert. She always makes sure her beaux is the best looking guy in the room.
I really need to go to bed. Passed out for a few hours at my friend's, but I came home and haven't been back to sleep since. Gonna wake up and eat some Taco Bell. Those bastards screwed up my order last night, so I'm demanding more food today. Gotta love how fast food places will give you food if you just bring a receipt and tell them your order was messed up.

I've been fucked by Taco Bell (who hasn't?) but in a good way, last year. Back when they were still selling the Chicken Club Chalupa (which made weekly, even daily visits mandatory), I ordered 2 of them and they gave me like 4 other items. It was great, although I was worried my digestive system would self-implode.
