Hi everyone,

I am a lurker finally made up his mind to sign up.
This is my first post and I am looking forward to make a positive contribution here.

Welcome. Is it "oh-mee-guh," "oh-may-guh" or "oh-meh-guh"?

Is your handle a reference to the watch or the movie w/ Charlton Heston? Welcome!

Yes. I have yet to watch it. It is on my "To Watch" list.

Or to the alien team created by Marv Wolfman? [/obscure]

Welcome aboard.

I love the ambiguity of your answer by excessive use of the word "watch".

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard - prepare for addiction.

Words of advice, things to expect: 1. Don't ask about black suits 2. Go ahead and throw your existing shoe collection in the trash. It is about to be entirely replaced. 3. UK sizes run a half-size to a full-size smaller than US sizes depending on the last

...or maybe it's your fraternity. Do you have a coathanger brand on your arm and raise the roof? That is pretty trad.

Correction.

Hi everyone,

My work has a restrictive policy on participating in a forum, and hence the late reply since I am at home.
Like I said, I have been a lurker for a while. I have benefited from some of the valuable advice in this forum and thankfully, did not commit any serious fashion faux pas.
I do have 2 black suits however, but I have not altered them yet and I have no problem in wearing them. Probably not to work but a night out in town.
My soft spot has always been with shoes. I lost count on the number a little while ago. If my wife finds out how much I spent on them, I would be in deep trouble...... I guess I can call myself an addict. But I think I have passed the accumulation stage, I am fairly selective on what I would like to spend my money on my next purchase.
To be honest, knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Ever since I have known about this forum, my savings have been slowly depleting. I am actually in a "negative" savings mode this year. Since the new year is coming up, my new year resolution is to balance my needs and my wants!

Welcome to the forum omega man. another great forum is askandyaboutclothes. you will two slightly different views on clothing and clothing related matters at these two fora.

the above quote is something that can be exactly applied to me word for word.
how funny but how true.
i gave you an email through yahoo.
if you read through my posts throughout the past year on here and at ask andy, you will see my tastes in shoes have gone from humble to outright pretentiously haughty, i am so discriminating only the most decadent shoes (that are within my grasp) are the ones i am interested in.

my soft spot is shoes . just like you and i look forward to reading your posts! welcome!

Ask Andy really turned me off. The thinly veiled racism there is astounding.

What did you do that you deserve that kind of punishment?
I look foreward to your contributions.
