What do wear for hanging out with girls half my age? - Page 4

Bit of an update... I think this fleece blazer works well. The blonde singer complimented it at that gig, in translation it went like this: "That's a nice thing you're wearing" "Which thing?" "That... whatever that is" "Thanks!" And, yeah, I should shorten the sleeves by about six inches. I might also try to find another one that doesn't have piping and is darker in color, though two fleece blazers seems like a lot to own... But I think I can use them a lot more than most people. They don't wrinkle, they're stretchy enough that I can wave my arms like a madman, and if I sweat like a pig I can throw them in a washing machine. Perfect for that "I look like I made an effort to dress up, but in a ridiculously casual way that would be totally inappropriate for any setting where I actually needed to dress up".

Pour yourself into whatever you were wearing when you were 18.

Haha, definitely not! I was a dirt-poor immigrant when I was 18.

Paint your bass black and string it with red strings. Put a misfits sticker on the back of it. Wear some chucks, stretch jeans and a white t shirt, mohawk your hair and you're set.

Well, the mohawk thing works for Miranda Lambert's bassist... and he does play double bass, too.



I'm too lazy to grow my hair that long, but maybe a 1/4" high mohawk would do... no? We do play one Miranda Lambert song (and I'd happliy do lots more):

Can you ever go wrong with a slim v-neck sweater with straight leg (not baggy) jeans? Looking sharp works with any age group imo.

Yeah, generally that would be good but sweaters tend to make me, well, sweat. Way too hot for the stage! That's just my specific case, though. I'm very cold-resistant...

This weekend I went with an extremely SF-unapproved look. Sadly, we actually only have one set of bunny ears. We really need to buy one for our other singer. Otherwise they don't really match:

Heh. Talked to a couple of photographers about setting up a photo session for this band and they love that picture and want to do something along a similar theme. At least as far as bunny headwear goes, that is. I'm not sure they're all that fond of my very wiggerish shirt there.

I think the hat is the most SF-approved part of this outfit, haha.



I'll do something less deliberately douchebaggy for the next gig, I promise.

And this seems to be what the girls (and their friends) really want me to wear:



There was much squealing at the beginning of that set. I guess the SF conventional wisdom that women have no taste when it comes to what they want men to wear is true.
